    Mass Effect 3 Fans Will Find Closure June 26th

    All those things you mention are just issues (or, in several cases, outright problems) that are prevalent in the entire gaming business right now, but have little to do with storytelling. My point was that Bioware's response should've just been "This is the way we decided to end the Mass Effect...

    Mass Effect 3 Fans Will Find Closure June 26th

    This whole thing continues to baffle me. Bioware should've just stuck by its team and the creative decisions it took, as opposed to giving in to the completely insane reaction by the gaming public. Whoever was disappointed by the first ending will surely be disappointed by this "extended...

    SyFy Casts Skins Star For Battlestar Galactica Prequel

    Sadly, SyFy screwed with it just enough to make it die. Although, to be honest, I think the show was always a little too smart and not action-oriented enough to appeal to the average viewer and really have a long run. Still, it's a shame it had to be so cut short when they had such a great...

    The Escapist's Game of the Year

    I played and enjoyed Red Dead Redemption, but I wouldn't have gone as far as to name it GotY.

    Games that ruin other games

    Funny, BG2 ruined BG1 for me. I tried to replay the first one after beating the second one but just found it boring and limiting, even though I had enjoyed it the first time around.

    Biggest gaming dissapointment.

    I would extend this answer to: everything after Final Fantasy X. X-2 was misguided, XII was forgettable at best, and XIII was visually stunning and, as you say, enjoyable, but too far removed from what I (and many others) want from a FF game. Oh, and then there were two MMOs...don't get me...

    Nominees for Game of the Year

    Heavy Rain did more for the potential of video games to tell stories that rival those of other media, and against the notion that video games cannot be art, than any game I can remember -- much less any game this year. If you truly care about video games beyond just wanting to own the coolest...

    Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

    The problem with the... ESRB theory is that it begins RB and then ES comes in. That seems a little...inelegant, if that were really where this was going.
