Kyle MacKinnon commented on the blog post Resident Evil: Revelations review [3DS] 4 weeks ago · View
“When my character has been so badly injured by a fall that he has to shoot approaching enemies while lying on his back, it grates a little to have him running around unscathed the second it’s all over.” I’m so unphased by stuff like this anymore. It happens far too often in videogames that I [...]

@Jabroni: Let’s start by looking at your source. “It turns out that some bullies—-the so-called “pure bullies”—-tend to be confident and socially well-adjusted.” Note the word some in there: my remark is sweeping (as explained in other comments), but some is certainly not a universal remark. Nor is it all that compelling to believe it’s a [...]

Not in defence of myself but this is a blog post, not a dedicated research study. It should be noted that even with a sample of 80, that’s a tiny amount of respondents. It’s also highly localized (hence NHL 12 beating out, say, PES) so rather than questioning the specific numbers (which I can provide) [...]

Let me start by playing the blame game: this is a blog post first and foremost (and under the blog/opinion section) so there is a giant “I think” or “in my experience” in everything I’m saying. So no, I haven’t gone out and done a nationwide (which nation?) study, though I’d love to. And as [...]

Blog: To what extent should teachers be advising parents about whether their children should play Call of Duty? And how might an understanding of a child’s gaming choices help parents and teachers to better co-operate? Journalist/teacher dual-classer Kyle MacKinnon recounts his own experiences… “Who are you to tell me how to raise my kid?” says the father [...] -

I fear the flight may be a tad long and/or pricey. I’m in the area in the New Year. Surely one of you will drink with me then. Beyond that, enjoy taking over a pub. Denby, I expect nothing less but the barman and you drunkenly singing some ballad together. On Youtube.

Seeing as I reviewed Killzone 3 and you reviewed Resistance 3, I just have to say – I disagree with your sentiment completely. KZ3 is the superior game!

Kyle MacKinnon wrote a new blog post: Blog: Why ‘Battlefield 3 vs MW3′ is bad for games this Christmas 3 months, 3 weeks ago · View
With Battlefield 3 already out, and Modern Warfare 3 following suit next week, the holiday season could be looking bleak for some other excellent games. Kyle MacKinnon explains why EA and Activision might be ruining Christmas for the games industry… It’s the year of the shooter and – perhaps thankfully – it’s almost over. Two of [...] -

Download video can be considered a compelling and influential form of narrative art.
You should really give me your email at this point…

“Bad” meaning a 4.5 is poor by BJ’s standards. I, personally, would have awarded a 6.5-6.9. I don’t think it’s a brilliant game, but it’s certainly serviceable. I think there’s a lot more to the title than plot!

Of a six paragraph review, but one is clearly focused on the game mechanics while a second focuses on the multiplayer (a joy, in my mind). Is story such a selling point in this genre that an arguably weak one is the lone criteria (seeing no mention of the average graphics anywhere) for giving a [...]

Headline is screwed up. Either missing a semi colon or ‘are’ should be ‘as’.

Disagree 100%. This is one of the finest takes on the genre in recent years. The story is trite, yes, but it serves the larger purpose. Mechanically, it’s very accessible. Any fan of the genre will embrace the game; those new to it should find it to be solid title; especially for a system so [...]

To be honest, I thought there was some unlockable character in TWEWY that I missed out on! So before even reading the article I searched for an unlockable. Haha, good times Yuliya.
