THQ and Ignition Troubles Show That Gamer Taste Threatens the Industry
THQ ran into financial trouble after relying on licensed properties and kids and family titles, specifically uDraw, whereas Ignition announced they would shift their focus to downloadable titles last year after a series of poorly performing games.
The Punishment of an Online Pass
With the recent discovery of the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning version of online passes, people have taken up arms on both sides, denouncing or supporting it. Amalurs online pass contains access to a series of quests and rewards which would otherwise be locked from the player. The content is rather short and more closely resembles DLC, however, the problem is that the content is already on the disk. And the real kicker is that apparently, that content is unlocked and available in the demo. Normally I would be fine with extra content in new copies, but the quests were removed from the game just to make it into an online pass. Then you get games like Dead Space 2 which have development resources taken away from the single player and diverted to creating a multiplayer no one asked for. All of this just so they can justify and online pass. It is understandable why people would be infuriated, but the greater problem is that the online pass model is severely broken.

Are PS3 graphics really any better these days?
Anyone who has visited the Head2Head website knows one thing: there's a lot of people who want to find out their console is better. Not find out 'if' their console is better, of course, because you can bet if it turns out the opposite is true they'll deny the article ever existed. They want to know theirs is better, they don't want to hear that they're even or that the other is winning.
But in today's modern era, is there really any difference at all between the two top consoles in terms of graphics?
