Yah, cause its so easy to take aim after you have been hit in the face or really think someone is going to kill you. This isn't TV or the movies, you fire in a panic because you are trying to save your life. And really, no one has the right to kill anybody no what they do? So if these kids...

Double posted...

OK, without doing any research on this guy, lets assume he has published some books he makes his students buy for his classes and one of the students decided to scan his copy of the book and made it available to everyone for free. Now, while this is not an apple to apples argument, I would if...

I had 110 hours into it and only 2 or 3 freezes. Funny thing was, I installed the patch and had a freeze up 5 minutes into playing. I got scared the patch was going to ruin it for me but now I have another 10 hours with the patch and that was the only freeze up. Of course my buddy has about...

That was pretty cool but can you build one in Minecraft? But seriously, these types of things make the little submarines and spacecrafts I built as a kid feel pretty pedestrian in hindsight. Can't wait for my son to be old enough for legos. Then I can "help" him build some pretty cool...

First off, great list and article! After reading through some of the comments here, I would love to see the OP could do a follow up article to include a few more games for different genres that they missed. Games like Wing Commander defined space sims for a long time. Sandbox games are...

I think that Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss came out right before Wolfenstein 3D and allowed you to look up and down. Personally, if you want to talk about shooters, then Wolfenstein is the way to go, but if you are talking about putting the player in the character's eyes, then Ultima...

True, true... I guess I was thinking how lately I have to wait to get games on the PC since they come out on the 360 and/or PS3 so much earlier now. But I guess we do get a lot of free stuff free.

For a long time now, us PC guys rarely get any love like this... so while it does suck, its nice to be remembered by some developers every now and then.

That's a great list Bob. I agree that Dances with Wolves should not be on this list, but I really don't think you can get away without at least one of Kevin Costner's movies. Personally, I would replace Tombstone with Open Range. That movie is a great western in much the same vein as...

I just ran a quick little test and asked my non-gaming wife if she had a problem with a game that let you play as the Taliban and she immediately went, "Ahhh.... ..... ... ouch. No. I have a problem with that one." Then I explained to her that in multiplayer you have sides and one side needs...

Dear THQ, I buy a lot of games a year! Many are new, some are used and I even do a little renting. I own a PS3, Xbox 360, a Wii and a PC. I am a customer of yours. You have called me a cheater because I decided what a game is worth and not what you tell me a game is worth. Because of this...

Not sure how to start a slow clap that builds into a big one but that is what you need with this article. I would add in a paragraph about a little known service called Steam. I have a TON of games in my library that I have picked up when they have their incredible sales. These are new...

OK... I will agree with you about the pistol re-load as being absolutely cool but can anything beat the machine-gun-shotgun in a tight hallway??? That was BAD ASS. Oh and I totally agree with you on this review. I remember these types of movies from the 80s and totally loved it. I guess...

How is it irrelevant? From the look of the settlement, she made $3mil from it (assuming the "disgorged profits" is accurate). That is not an irrelevant amount of money for someone to basically steal. And who is to say that they didn't send a C$D letter way back before the case?
