Casual gaming is ruining the industry!

Google game adoption a ‘strategic necessity’

Google is going to get into gaming BIG, but not the deep rich games we love… The casual stuff. At least that’s Chris’ opinion!

Justin:
Madden-ing 2010.

    Re: DC Universe & PvP

    I could be mistaken, but my understanding is the PvP content wherein you take on the role of established characters like Batman and the Joker are exclusive to optional, instanced-based matches. The rest of the game will feature Open-world PvP with your own, personal heroes/villains. In other words, you won't simply play your own character in PvE content—your own character(s) will be the primary focus of gameplay, both in PvE AND PvP. For that matter, from what I've read, the majority of the game will be Open PvP with cooperative/competitive public quests (similar to Warhammer Online). Don't worry Chris, PvP won't be limited to just the trademarked DC characters.

    P.S.: Great show as always!

    Fallout New Vegas is gonna be awesome. Fallout 3 was sweet but, this seems much better.
