Don’t forget about the “Deception” part
So Uncharted 3 is about a week away and the excitement is being built by the hour. Reviews of the game so far have been outstanding and almost confirms this years “Game of The Year” award is going to be one of the hardest ones to give out — ever. As it seems this will be one of the strongest fourth quarters in gaming, with Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3 and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim not even out yet.
But back to Uncharted 3 and it’s build up, we’ve seen trailers, giveaways, demonstrations, betas, more betas, events, commercials, codes, reveals, previews and even now reviews of the game (look it up in our search engine if you missed any).

Do you believe reviewers have to end a game before reviewing it?
Reviewing games have always been around but I don’t remember — back in the days — that being a “make or break” factor, or having the impact that it does now.

So I got to ask,

Why is ‘throwing’ so hated in gaming?
So a little while ago I wrote the article “Why is ‘camping’ so hated in gaming”? So now I figured let me do a follow up to discuss another realization, which is, “Why is ‘throwing’ so hated in gaming”? I know a bunch of you want to address the “throwing situation”, most prevalent in the Streetfighter series. So gamers once again, LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD!!!
In that article I likened gamers that play shooters “hating camping” as a parallel to gamers in the fighting genre –specifically Streetfighter hating ‘throwing’. So now I said to myself you know what, let’s address the “throwing situation” head on. Hating ‘camping’ I couldn’t absolutely relate to but ‘throwing’ now that’s a different story, I’ll explain.
