That wasn't really my point, my point was her doing a video showing the features of Mass Effect isn't THAT big of a deal, if you want to get bent up over conflict of interest in gaming media, there are much worse and obvious things. EDIT: Not that I even care. I don't know why I'm defending Chobot this much. She's terrible. I hate her. She is everything that is wrong with gaming. She's mediocre on camera, I question how much gaming she actually does, she has a horrible self centered attitude, and she looks like she does too much cocaine. To tell with her, let's get back to talking ME3.
-
What's worse: Kristine Steimer gives Dragon Age 2 a very high score (for a lousy game). Shortly after leaves IGN for Bioware. Hmmm.... Compared to that, Chobot showing us how the Kinect works, doesn't really bother me... at all.
-
Ethan, there are many worse things happening in games journalism and journalism as a whole. How about game writers accepting gifts from publishers? That irks me more than a voice actress from a game demonstrating how Kinect works on the game.
-
How is that a conflict of interest? A preview is just that, a preview, no judgement is passed on it. The only way you could argue that is if she writes the review herself. Also, what preview is this?
-
Has Chobot ever done a review for IGN? I wouldn't watch G4, but I've never seen her do any writing. She simply reads what's on the teleprompter. I don't really think that makes it a conflict of interest. Maybe if IGN/G4 appointed her to write the review, then yes.
-
Agreed! Outside of some Nintendo games, I can't remember the last time I had this much fun with a game.
-
Exactly three weeks till the Vita launches in Canada/US! Are you getting one on launch day? Which games? Buying your games retail or digital?
-
I'll be getting one, with Uncharted and Gravity Rush via the PSN.
-
I'm waiting for some further announcements on localized games since regional accounts are a bitch.
-
I'm going to wait, see if the price drops, if any more games come out, see how the support is in a year or so for the device. I'll be buying my games physical copy because the 10% savings in price isn't enough to justify filling up a memory card.

Well, Jack is horribly unlikeable. I was glad when she died on my first playthrough. Tali is nice, but what does she look like under that suit?!?!? Liara looks like she could be slimey... and how does it work with her species, if there's no males... what does that mean for DOWN THERE?? I don't want to find out...... the hard way..... I picked Ashley in ME1 and Miranda in both my 360 and my current PS3 save. While I don't like her going on about how perfect she is all the time, she does in a way that, well, I approve of. I'll probably just romance her.
-
Oh man how am I going to decide against the racist (Ashley) and the pretentious british woman (Miranda)?!?!
-
Do we know at this point who the crew members are going to be? Jacob, Miranda, etc returning? I really hope we get Garrus back. Thane too was another favorite.
-
Isn't he married to Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Maybe jealousy? I was disappointed, I've never seen who plays 'Broshep'. Also I had no idea Martin Sheen is the Illusive Man.
-
Just caught myself a chocobo named it Nuggets. He's going to be a pretty good commando, I thinks.
-
I also just picked up XIII-2. I also got the pre-order bonus without actually preordering it, became I'm cool like that. Or uncool. Whatever.
-
So, the free games are unopenable if your PSPlus subscription expires, but what if Final Fantasy V (that you got for free) is on your PSP? Is the PSP set up to deactivate games?
-
Chobot looks haggered compared to how cute she was when she first appeared a few years ago. Looks like she's got some work done, or a bit too much partying... or both. Not that I care one way or another, as I've mentioned before, the girl IGN replaced her with is a much better personality. But when you make your name by seductively licking a gaming console, you leave yourself open for these kinds of criticisms. Especially when you're HORRIBLY FUCKING OBNOXIOUS.

I posted a comment on Kotaku. I was critical of video game novels and those who read them. I got 35 replies, mostly people saying comparing the Dragon Age novels favourably to Lord of the Rings. My question: do any of you read video game novels? If so why??

I've read two of the Splinter Cell novels. The first was actually pretty good. The second was horrendous. I mean, the quarter of the book had far too many spelling and grammatical errors!
-
I do not read video game based novels. I'm not opposed to the idea I guess. I simply haven't found a novel set in a video game universe that really grabbed me.
-
The Witcher books don't really count but I'm reading those and I've read an EVE Online book. But seriously, even if you do read videogame novels, comparing a Dragon Age novel to Tolkien is absolutely retarded.
-
I'm looking forward to picking it up, the DS/3DS has never been comfortable for my ogre hands, this looks like it'll help. What I'm really waiting for a 3DSiXL with dual circle pads, the extra triggers, and a bigger size. One day...
-
$6 is a reasonable price for a 15-20ish hour adventure like Link's Awakening.... especially considering the quality of that adventure.
-
I think it just causes you to not have to give them your credit card number, which after the PSN debacle of 2011, is probably a good thing. Also those retail downloadable games may be coming to 3DS too!
-
I had originally planned on purchasing FFXIII again, this time on the PS3, to complete it before XIII-2 but then came Skyrim....... now I have no time. Currently, I am replaying Mass Effect 2, this time on PS3, in preperation for Mass Effect 3, which I am getting very excited for.
-
The only way this would work is if Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all got on board. If it's just Microsoft, I think this would end up hurting them more than helping.
-
Wow! Why you gotta be so angry??
-
That's a great deal for you Europeans. I'd easily buy digital copies (already have physical) of Dissidia 012, IV Complete Collection, and maybe the first two Final Fantasy's again, just so I can play them on my Vita in 4 weeks.
-
20 FPS? I'll believe it when I see it. In fact, since the game has been out for weeks now in Japan, if it's true we would have heard more about this. But even if it is, hey Skyrim was GOTY for 2011 and would go down to 0 FPS after you played it for 30 - 60 minutes.... Anyways, the biggest mistake Square Enix is doing, that I can see, is how open they're talking about DLC. You're going to be able to have Lightning join your party, and there will be a story mode, but it'll be DLC. Sahz and his son will be in DLC. In fact, apparently the game's story mode will be resolved in DLC. I have no problem with DLC at all, but I think they need to be tactful, because right now it just looks like they're not putting things on the disc (or worse, just not unlocking it) and are going to make us pay after.

Well, I had a good run.
