Afternoon folks. An 8 year old child last Thursday killed his grandmother of 87 Marie Smothers. The Louisiana sheriff's department implied the child's activities in a violent virtual world may have led to the killing. That game? Grand Theft Auto IV Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/27/marie-smothers-grand-theft-auto_n_3821879.html   Under state law the child cannot be charged for shooting his grandmother, children under the age of 10 are considered "immune from criminal responsibility". "It's not a crime if he's under 10 years old. We're still trying to figure out how to help this juvenile and his parents, it was determined that he did the shooting and it was an accident. He thought it was a toy gun, a play gun" said East Feliciana Parish District Attorney Samuel D'Aquilla. The boy was playing GTA right behind his grandmother, at some point the boy picked up a .38 caliber handgun and shot his grandmother from ...

Evening folks. It's all about Microsoft in this post. Phil Spencer has responded to Andrew House's "Shifting  Message" comment during Gamescom and CVP Phil Harrison. Phil Spencer Responds Source: http://www.gamespot.com/gamescom/microsoft-responds-to-sonys-shifting-message-comment-6413418/ Phil Spencer was speaking with Eurogamer about Andrew House's comment made near the end of Sony's Gamescom presentation. " While others have shifted their message and changed their story, we were consistent in maintaining policies and a model that is fair and in tune with consumer desires." In which Phil Spencer told Eurogamer: "The two-way conversation that we have with gamers is critical, if we weren't able to listen then I don't think we're really creating the ecosystem that means people want to come into the platform. Other people will do and say what they're going to say. FIne. We're running our program." -----...

Good afternoon everyone. Welcome to my 2nd Borderlands 2 Weapon Loot Guide. Today, we will be looking at the weapons of pure elegance and art. Mailiwan. Corporation Motto                              "Where form meets function" The Maliwan corporation believes that combat is an art, and elemental weaponry is the paint. If you need to burn, fry, or melt your enemies, Maliwan will be your weapon du jour. Though their initial damage may not be spectacular, Maliwan delivers damage over time like no other manufacturer on Pandora. Not to mention incredibly sleek, sophisticated Maliwan aesthetic---when your enemies see a Maliwan weapon in your hand, two thoughts will pass through their mind. "Damn that's a sleek-ass gun," Followed by                                           "Oh god, why am I ...

Good morning folks. This is an update post about what's going to be happening with the blog and what reviews will be posted later in time. College for me is starting again tomorrow and I have more classes then the last time I was there, so that means I'll have less free time to post news updates and reviews. Right now I'm playing three games for review. Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past Dead Rising 2 And Ghostbusters: The Video Game I'm not going to be finishing them in any particular order or by a certain time, they'll be done when they're done. I don't want to rush through the games just for the sake of review to move on to other games, no I want to start from the beginning and make it to the end. Also what some of you may have noticed is the change in template for the blog. I changed it back for the easier customization of the background for the blog to give it more of a personal touch, Dynamic Views didn'...

Today I've got two videos of new game play for the new game Dying Light and Grand Theft Auto Online as well as what Capcom's approach could be to any future Resident Evil titles. Let's begin. Dying Light What do you get when you combine Mirrors Edge with Dead Island? This. Dying Light looks really cool, this is going on the list of games to play next gen for sure.
