Ultimately, the Trust Factor has a clear focus according to the patent, which, "may provide an improved gaming experience for users who desire to play a video game in multiplayer mode in the manner it was meant to be played." This description playing a game as intended refers to players who respect the game in its core design, meaning those who do not cheat or act in toxic w

With the release of this week's Senran Kagura: Peach Ball , Marvelous' stalwart franchise has crossed over into the world of pinball. This is far from the first time the brawler has switched genres, though. From rhythmic cooking to cutthroat water gun fights, the upstanding young women of Hanzo National Academy are truly Jills of All Tra

In the patent, there is a broad range of points listed that could all be used in determining the Trust Factor. Here we will go into some of the More about the author interesting as well as some of the obvious. To begin, the following are one’s that we might expect to see in any game’s matchmaking sys

The Desert Eagle, or Deagle as it is more commonly known as is the great equalizer. As a pistol, it is incredibly cheap. As a weapon, it is incredibly powerful. Very few weapons in Counter-Strike __ are capable of a one-shot kill. The Deagle is one of them. It is a workhorse if used well, capable of winning rounds by itself. However, miss your shot and you have no way to defend yourself. The Deagle rewards skilled players by allowing them the opportunity to win rounds they have no right winn

December is the month that bats clean up for gamers, allowing us a chance to catch up on all the titles we missed this year. Among those titles I missed are Skyrim, Skyward Sword, and Battlefield 3 , so I hope to give those a go over the break. On top of that I'm also looking forward to finally procuring a 3DS and trying out Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 . And for my family fun I'm looking forward to checking out Scene It? Movie Night . Happy Holidays Rant

I would love to see a refresh or a next installment of Counter-Strike . I played a metric ton of the game in it's heyday, and the fact that it still thrives online via Steam should be a tell-tale hint that a sequel would be nothing short of a rock-solid i

Most know of the game, which won a ridiculous amount of rewards after its release, and it's often included in "Best Games of All Time" packages, but was considered a commercial failure in sales and thus this is why no sequel to such an amazing game has ever been made. I think the fact that the fan-sites for this 1998 game are still active says it

I'll definitely be playing Minecraft now that it has officially released, Rob and I will probably do a few more recording sessions with the game. I'll also be attempting to play through Gears of War 3 on 'Insane' difficulty in order to get those exclusive 'Impossible Mission' sk

For my third choice, Beyond Good and Evil (the sequel has been in 'pre-production' for two years). The main character, Jade, reminded me of a female Luke Skywalker (pre-Force) in her quest to investigate an alien

As for 2012, well, anyone who knows me well knows that I'm a Metro 2033 fanboy, so my most anticipated title is Metro: Last Light . I'm also a huge fan of Yakuza 3 meaning I'm stoked for Yakuza: Dead Souls , not to mention BioShock Infinite , Prey 2 , Alan Wake: Night Springs , Binary Domain , and Operation Raccoon City as my first Resident Evil game, not to mention I have a nice shiny PlayStation Vita First Edition bundle with my name on it. I also plan to play Mass Effect 3 but I'm trying to keep my hype meter low for that

First on my list is Legend of Dragoon . Granted, it had a super generic story. You are on a mission to collect dragon spirits and gain allies, while the main character Dart is seeking revenge on the black monster that killed his fam

The game combined different aspects of film noir to create the Land of the Dead, where the game primarily takes place. You play your role as Manny Calavera, a salesman of soul packages for the recently depar

With a franchise already intrinsically connected to girls murdering swarms of their peers, the leap between "cutting high schoolers down in the streets" and "dying ten times to get one hit in on something" is a pretty small one. Bonus points if From Software comes on board and imbues the game with the immersive, organic physics their games are known

It was a busy November for me and I had little time to play games outside of Modern Warfare 3 . December will be a different story since I will be spending a lot of time with my new Zelda 25th Anniversary 3DS. Mario Kart 7 will be my first purchase for the handheld and it will be a title that will tide me over until Nintendo decides to full-fill my Skyward Sword bundle pre-order. In the new year I'm looking forward to Diablo 3 and of course Mass Effect 3 . There are going to be a lot of lengthy games in my fut
