Lately, Clinton has been eager to bask in the gay love. Her young presidential campaign has already held two fund-raisers with major gay and lesbian donors. This week, after a scheduled appearance with the other Democratic contenders at a forum in L.A. on gay issues, she’ll head to a fund-raiser at the West Hollywood gay hangout the Abbey. The attention may be paying off.

For example, when talking about review scores, Brian cites that reviewers often found the game either a modest accomplishment overall, or a completely failed effort. While reviewers should have rated the game on its own merits, Martel suggests that Duke Nukem Forever was judged for more than just the experience it delivered:...

Pitchford confirmed the existence of Borderlands 3 by stating emphatically that “obviously, there is going to be another Borderlands,” which isn’t too surprising given that Borderlands 2 is the best-selling 2K game ever. What is surprising is that Borderlands 3 may not be the final title, as Pitchford stated that “we don’t even know if we’re going to call it that.” Given that Gearbox had revealed that the new Borderlands game had entered development less than a year ago, it makes sense that the developer has still yet to finalize many of the details....

This Minute focuses on the Wii U and whether the people it is supposedly designed for – hardcore gamers – actually need or want the Wii U. Nintendo spent a decent amount of time at its 2011 E3 press conference explaining how the “U” in Wii U represented the hardcore gamer, the gamer that wanted HD graphics, etc. They even said games like Batman: Arkham City would be coming to the Wii U and implied games like Battlefield 3 could make their way to the system too....

Anthem received a lukewarm reception when it released in 2019, as fans and critics complained about the game’s various bugs, unexciting story, and lack of engaging content.

The overhaul, called Anthem 2....

They are rare, but a few games exist that have cemented their place in history as legendary classics without being a part of a franchise. The games below all have a metascore rating over 90 and never continued their stories. The developers went on to make more games in most cases, but the game stands alone and players can appreciate them without additional context. 10 Journey (92) Before almost every developer was trying to make their own multiplayer modes unique, Journey found a way to make cooperative play more special by cutting off the ability for players to clearly communicate....
