Deus Ex and Madden NFL 2012 have officially ended the dreaded “summer drought of gaming”. However there are two standout games, or rather publishing companies that I wanted to talk about: Electronic Arts and Activision.

Allow me to start this off by stating that this may not be the most popular opinion, it might not even be the “right” opinion, however it’s a different side to an argument that has been controversial lately.

It is a bold statement but the evidence is all around us and it seems like no one is paying attention. It seems like you only hear about the
By now we are all quite aware that the PSN has, and still continues to have problems. Chances are when the PSN comes back online it will still have bugs and loop holes that will expose new security threats in the future.
