In the past few days an extremely depressing but, unfortunately common, trend has reared it’s head once again online. Jennifer Hepler, who is a writer for Bioware, has recently become the target for absolutely horrible commentary online. The comments commonly targeted Hepler’s weight and talent as a writer but the prevailing theme amongst these voices were against her gender. It [...]
When you think of augmented reality, you probably think of the “well, it sort of works I suppose” technology that has shipped with platforms likes the 3DS and children’s toys. Alongside the rest of the impressive feature-list the PS Vita will be bringing the technology forward through what has been termed “Wide Area Augmented Reality.” If you don’t understand what [...]
Mass Effect 3 has had an odd life-cycle. Originally announced by a loading screen in Mass Effect 2, ME3 was set to come out just a year and a half after that game. It was eventually delayed until the beginning of this year and then suffered a beta leak. Both events really set peoples tongues a-wagging, and not in a [...]
2011 was a quality year for games and it made making a final decision on many of the categories in game of the year pretty difficult. Top quality games were bolting out of the gate almost immediately and things only really let up for a month or so over the Summer; even then downloadable titles coming out at that time [...]

The company announced that they were disappointed in sales of the 3DS and would rectify the problem [...]
So 2011 is drawing to a close and it’s at this point that I’m glad I’m summarising the gaming news and not hard news because a ton of stuff has (and continues to) happened. In gaming things were pretty quiet aside from a few major blips, most of them involving leaks be it our information or precious game announcements. So [...]
GMRFM are looking for writers! The site has grown massively over the past few years and we feel that now is a great time to expand the written side of things alongside our new tv show as well as our enduringly popular podcast. The mandate I set for myself when I began as news editor was not to become an [...]
Have you ever contemplated what the various enforcers and helpers in an MMORPG actually look like in real-life? Or what their working environment looks like? I actually hadn’t, even though I knew someone who had done this job for an MMO which released a few years ago. Well both of my questions were answered when I visited the brand-new Bioware [...]
As the Call of Duty XP event goes on more and more action from Modern Warfare 3 keeps making it’s way into the world. A few low-quality videos of gameplay have made it out but now the entire perk and weapon list has been revealed by Destructoid. Here it is: PRIMARY WEAPONS Assault Rifles: M4A1 M16A4 SCAR-L CM901 TYPE 95 [...]
