Laying the blame squarely at Rockstar’s door might seem unfair. Games generally refuse to involve themselves with history and politics – the disclaimer at the beginning of each Assassin’s Creed, explaining that the games are “inspired” by history and developed by a team of multiple religious faiths is a sugar-coated way to defend the series’ […]
When fans go this deep, it makes you wonder if they are not reaching. It could be that more than half of the original development team has no idea what he is talking about any more. Or that a whole lot of the stuff he is saying is wrong. Nevertheless, untill The Last Guardian shows […]
This is why The Smithsonian added E.T. to its collection | Polygon “The cartridge is one of the defining artifacts of the [Atari] crash and of the era.
