Feminists decry and suspect that Apple’s chosen name for their tablet is result of unequal hiring practices — an absence of women in marketing and engineering positions.
The name “iPad” was chosen not because Apple lacks women within in their ranks. But because, whatever Steve wants, he gets.
That’s right. Hiding underneath all the accolades and slick marketing lies something much more sinister within — misogyny. Unlike most nefarious games, Bioshock starts off relatively benign.

When I first read about Lair, writers kept referring to the claim that it would consume an entire Blu-ray disc due to its high-end visuals. Normally, I would worry fearing that style over substance, graphics over gameplay was being given precedent. However, the developer was Factor 5. Their previous games were great [...]
With video games raking in billions each year, its not a surprise to see old school publications like Forbes penning out top 10 lists like this one — “The 10 Most Anticipated New Videogames”.

Like most arguments, this one on the graphical superiority between Halo 3 and Resistance: Fall of Man plays out rather predictably. Fanboys spin, flame and swear while the rest of us lose.
As someone who has both consoles, it’s almost impossible any noticeable difference in their visuals. But it’s not just about the bump [...]
Valve shows that it gets the obvious:
“You buy the product, you get the content,” Team Fortress 2 designer Robin Walker told us. “We make more money because more people buy it, not because we try and nickel-and-dime the same customers.”
“[In multiplayer games] the content you’re playing is being created by the players you’re playing [...]
When Sega announced they had green-lighted a sequel to Condemned: Criminal Origins. I jumped up and down with the enthusiasm of my kid former self on Christmas morning.
