God of War: Ascension Chooses Controversy Before Gamers, Gets Launch-Day Patch

11 March 2013 7:01 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Kratos, anti-hero of the upcoming God of War: Ascension, has never been known to hold back. Hell, he decapitated an Olympian god with his bare hands and gutted a titan from the inside, spilling guts and gallons of blood without a nanosecond of hesitation. So it’s only natural that God of War developers Sony Santa Monica want to ratchet up the brutality in order to avoid the dreaded been-there-done-that syndrome. Unfortunately, reaching that goal meant striking the nerve of many gamers and press members, but the uproar isn’t even stemming from the violence.

Adam Sessler Does a Fantastic Job Defending Games in Fox News Interview

30 January 2013 1:30 PM, PST | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »

Video games and violence has become, yet again, another hot button topic as of late, which has prompted some of the most ridiculous statements we've heard from politicians so far (including one made today).  In the media, the game industry and gamers on the whole can't seem to catch a break, but during an interview with Fox News, Adam Sessler sets some people straight. 

Though many remember Sessler for his goofy antics on X-Play, he's one of the more intelligent speakers when it comes to video games around (he's intelligent in general).  He speaks with clarity, sound logic, and experience that's hard to discount...all which he brings to bear during this interview with Fox News.  Fox News is somewhat notorious for blaming video games and gamers when bad things happen, so it's nice to watch Sessler talk so rationally and convincingly with them.

The man makes a lot of excellent points, »
