A while ago, porn star Ron Jeremy talked some smack about videogames during a debate at the CES show in Vegas. So there was some uproar about that. Now Kotaku hosts a short guest editorial from Jeremy, in which he says, “I am not trying to knock the the video game industry, I am just …
After playing Bioshock 2 for several hours, a day before its launch, my friend decided to write a review for it (which was very good I might add). Subsequently, an argument ensued between both of us today where I suggested that the review of a game should not be written until it has been entirely …
