Bon voyage Destiny 2 Legendary Shards, I won’t miss you

However, Legendary Shards have consistently presented a challenge in achieving this balance. The vast discrepancy in acquiring these shards has led to inequality among players. The result is an in-game economy where Legendary Shards don’t feel significant to some or attainable for others, regardless of their play habits....

Destructoid review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09

Those of you who follow my writing know that I have ahuge bonerfor Tiger Woods, so it’ll probably come as no surprise that I was very excited to get my hands on his latest golf videogame, EA Sports’Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09. EA has the exclusive rights to the PGA Tour license, which is why theTiger Woodsseries is the only golf sim around. You’d think that, with no competition, they’d just put out a mediocre product every year — something that gamers accuse EA of doing with theMadden NFLfranchise....

EA taking risks on things like Star Wars, other new IP

Hahahahahahahahha; taking on risks with a gun Electronic Arts is a risk taker. A boundary pusher. Indeed, EA Games chief Patrick Soderlund,speaking to MCV, apparently, “points toStar WarsandMirror’s Edge 2as proof the firm is still willing to take risks on new ideas.” Once more. Soderland pointed toStar Warsto evidence the company’s willingness totake risksonnew ideas. Making aStar Warsvideogame — in light of an upcoming new trilogy, no less — is about as risky as pulling a “do not remove” tag off a mattress....
