• Nintendo now claiming ad revenue for YouTube Let's Play videos

• Sildur 17/05/2013

  It's simple: No one will make Let's Plays of Nintendo games, less people will see their games and want to play them, so Nintendo will lose out on sales and games like Minecraft will continue to outsell all of the greedy corporation's games. :) Reply +4

• Grand Theft Auto 5 shown off in three new trailers

• Sildur 30/04/2013

  I don't know what Rockstar think they're doing, but hopefully this game will woo a whole new set of younger gamers, as this game certainly won't interest the older generation of GTA players who've seen this all before. Reply -17

• Influential credit rating agency downgrades Sony to “junk”

• Sildur 22/11/2012

  Sony make great products and even today I was surprised to learn how many industry, critic and customer awards they continue to win for their electronics. But they're simply too expensive compared to the competition.
  
  Samsung create incredible TVs at a fraction of the price, Apple and other companies have portable MP3 players all sown up, and they've simply not been supporting their PS Vita enough for me to be happy with the over £200 I spent on it.
  
  So sony are still incredible, but they seriously need to get their act together. It's going to be a long time until I trust them again after this PS Vita debacle. Reply +3

• Black Ops 2's pre-order bonus map Nuketown 2025 pulled from most multiplayer modes

• Sildur 20/11/2012

  Who cares, I'm having an absolute blast in this game. Best multiplayer experience I've had in a long time! :D Reply -3

• UK chart: oh my COD

• Sildur 19/11/2012

  @ToiletDuck Honestly I play loads of multiplayer games and make YouTube videos and Black Ops 2 is an astoundingly awesome multiplayer experience. It's not the best-selling game just because it's Call of Duty, it's actually incredible. Reply -1

• Sildur 19/11/2012

  Black Ops probably had its multiplayer base eaten into by Halo 4 and the multiplayer promotions Microsoft are doing giving away free points. :D Reply 0

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 review

• Sildur 15/11/2012

  lmfao! Great review.
  
  As a huge BF3 fanboy, I love Blops2, and I'm seriously surprised. It's an unbelievably fun arcade shooter and they really have fixed all the issues with previous CoDs. :D
  
  Get it, enjoy it, it really is awesome. Don't listen to the haters. Reply +71

• GAME claims it's “in good shape” and will make £20m this year

• Sildur 12/11/2012

  I'm glad Game is doing okay for the sake of the staff, but they still have some really useless policies and pricing.
  
  I've seriously been back to my GAME every week since they re-opened and they're always the most expensive, so the only thing I've bought from there is MS Points in the last year. Reply +5

• Halo 4 devs scold Xbox Live sexism

• Sildur 31/10/2012

  I've been playing BF3 and CoD for the last two years and honestly I've never seen anything like this. The most I've seen is mildly offensive teenagers making fools out of themselves, but I've never seen girls abused like this. Frankly it's rotten and something should be added to the XBL email system to scan for stuff like this. Reply 0

• Sildur 29/10/2012

  @FortysixterUK I've actually known members of the Eurogamer crew since way back in the Eat Electric Death clan days.
  
  As Rab has said himself DON'T blame Eurogamer. Whether we like it or not, Eurogamer is a business, and good journalists deserve to be paid well for their writing. The guys at Eurogamer don’t just post re-hashed press releases like most websites out there, they write brilliant and engaging commentary while delivering some of the best reviews out there. [Except the whole eight-out-of-ten thing, you d*cks Eurogamer! ;) ]
  
  I’m trying to remain objective here, but frankly posts like yours really make me angry. You’re making such entirely stupid rash and unjustified comments without knowing much of the story. Would you give up your day job and work for free? NO! So neither should the guys at Eurogamer. And throwing out a business model saying people would be happy to pay for a service that they can get for free elsewhere is just unrealistic.
  
  Rab has said please don’t attack Eurogamer. So stop attacking them and find another cause to moan about you uber-peon-weenie-cretins! Reply -3

  @TheOnlyPaulV What in the F are you talking about? Eurogamer and Rab Florence have done nothing wrong here! What makes you think they have!? Reply +1

• Sildur 26/10/2012

  A perfect example of all this: why is IGN the only game review website that still hasn't posted a Medal of Honor Warfighter review? They're advertising it all over their site, they're talking about it potentially being the best-selling game of the week in OTHER articles, yet they still haven't posted a review while most other games sites have given it 5/10.
  
  IGN is the worst offender of them all. Reply +21

• Medal of Honor: Warfighter review

• Sildur 24/10/2012

  @WiseNail YES! EXACTLY! Five of my friends stopped playing BF3 because of this. EA simply want to make a quick buck while not remotely considering long-term fan loyalty. Oh well, sucks to be them! Reply 0

• Sildur 24/10/2012

  @CaptainQuint I played this and Black Ops 2 at Eurogamer. Everyone hated this and everyone loved Blops 2. I'm a BF3 player and even I loved Black Ops 2. I hope it gets incredible reviews as even with the old engine, they've done the gameplay right, trust me. Reply +1

• Sildur 24/10/2012

  @Climhazzard Exactly. The true crime here is that they've been gifted with the Frostbite 2 engine and somehow managed to create something far worse than Battlefield 3. It’s a huge shame and a massively missed opportunity for EA. Reply +8

  Just got 5/10 at Destructoid too. Reply +5

• Sildur 24/10/2012

  I played this at Eurogamer and in the beta. It's TERRIBLE.
  
  This needs to be a lesson to EA and the developers not to try and palm off a terrible to us gamers purely because it's a war-themed multiplayer FPS. Reply +8

• Painting on wall of Modern Warfare 2 toilet upsets some Muslims

  You've got to think that in the time this has been out, other Muslims have seen this image and not overreacted like this.
  
  It's such a stupid thing to even bring up. This is just attention-seeking nonsense from someone bored and out of work. I'm sure he's got a few subs from this. Reply +2

  @ShineDog I don't think anyone 'tunes it out', remotely. :) And in saying that I think you’ve missed the points others are making entirely.
  
  I wholeheartedly and happily admit that I like looking at the female form. Most straight women I know agree that the female form is beautiful as well.
  
  In Mass Effect 3, it’s not blatant or misplaced sexualising of women at all – it’s usually when you’re flirting with them, which is exactly when that would happen in real life. You like someone so you check each other out while having a conversation. It’s natural.
  
  Honestly I don’t know why you’re so stuck on this but PLEASE don’t start pretending like you’re a more evolved human being with more life experience than everyone else, protecting women from the tyranny of video game sexism, because it makes you look very silly indeed. :)
  
  As I said and I standby this comment: men have more of a problem with this then women do.
  
  Stop treating women like helpless creatures who can’t help themselves. They don’t need your help. I’m sure there are plenty of female gamers on this site and I’d much rather hear what they have to say then hear any more of your inane misplaced thoughts on the matter.
  
  I think you’ve made the same points about ten times in this thread already, and people disagree with you. Deal with it. Reply +1
