Anybody remember the name of those old point and click Star Trek games? Those were pretty awesome.
Also, No One Lives Forever 2. Much better than 1, as it didn't have the forced Stealth levels that made me quit the original game.

THQ continues its tailspin: W40K: Dark Millenium Online is now a single player game, 118 employees laid off.
I feel bad for all the people who lost their jobs yet I am ashamed to admit that when I saw that headline my first thought was "Oh man...the ONE MMO I was looking FORWARD TO!" >.<

Wow I was really hoping for a W40k MMO. Wha ta bummer.
The one game that might have been able to get me back into MMO's...
Bummer...
Bummer...
Yeah, i find it more likely that it was because people where using the LAN to host very profitable tournaments without Blizzard getting any money or control over them at all...
This is also a fair point. Too bad Starcraft has been replaced by League of Legends on TV.

Ohhhh wow. Yeah they are doomed.
Damn. I probably wasn't going to play it, but I was looking forward to it anyway. And I bet the single player will just be the MMO, but single player, as in, you go pick up missions and such.
They had better at last have multiple classes. If it's Space Marine only, fuck it. I'm tired of being a Space Marine.
They usually make an appearance, but it's rarely playable.
What? There are still Brood War, SC2, and LoL tournaments being run with big prize pools and huge audiences.

EA considered the "worst company in America" according to the infamous yearly Consumerist poll. To put this in perspective, they went up against the BANK OF AMERICA (which earned its place due to its corporate shenanigans) and got nearly TWICE THE VOTES.
Look, I understand that people have grievances against EA, especially over the whole ME3 debacle but this is a TAD much, don't you agree?

Damn EA to hell and hopefully someday the ghosts of all the companies, game lines and employees they've ruined will rise up and drag them kicking and screaming into the hellish abyss they deserve.
Yes, and maybe then the same will happen to Activision, before the two giants manage to merge into one colossal bucket of shit.

I WAS JUST THERE AND DID NOT SEE THIS WTF?! *cry*
Though we did do the Kim Possible missions in World Showcase and that was pretty awesome.

The kim possible videophone "ringtone" is the first two thirds of the ringtone from the beepers used by the power rangers. YOUR MIND IS BLOWN.
Are you mocking me Bowielee? Sure this isn't exactly an earth shattering problem but I've been watching EA ruin my favorite game companies since I was a wee lad. I really hate them as a company.
It's hyperbolic reactions like the one you posted that allowed EA to be voted a worse company than multiple companies that have flat out done illegal things leading to deaths, economic ruin and our current housing situation.
But sure, a game company changed some games in ways you didn't like.
Yeah, First World Problems.

Considering it's Consumer Report, I'm guessing they weigh this based on treatment of consumers, not employees, the economy, business partners, investors, etc. Housing situation lenders wouldn't be customers, nor would the people slaving at factories in China.
It's the Consumer Report, exactly, it's a blog poll on the Consumerist. Consumer Report owns them, but's not based on anything more than the voting opinions of consumerist readers.
In that case, to BowieLee, only this stuff would get EA voted worst company. No one's going to vote a company worst because of shady practices that don't affect the customer.
BREAKING NEWS!
Double Dragon Neon looks like dogshit and Wayforward continues to be the most overrated shitty developer out there. Fuck, if you're going for that whole 80's vibe, why is the music just straight up rock remix of the original music. Where's the synth and other 80's staples? Fuck, and look at Abobo. This looks like one of the worst games ever made.
This isn't early shit either, the game comes out in July.
I hate Warforward and that I was dumb enough to buy that absolutely shitty and fucking garbage Bloodrayne game they made a few months ago based on the gorgeous visuals and constant comparisons to Symphony of the Night before I tried the demo probably skews my view of them.
They are awful, fuck you Wayforward. I vote you consumerist worst company in the cosmos times infinity! INFINITY!

I don't know, it doesn't look that bad to me. If there's a demo, I'm going to give it a try.
