Here's the deal; I can't play Bioshock Infinite for more than about 15 minutes at a time, whereas System Shock 2 and Bioshock 1 I can't stop playing for hours at a time. Bioshock Infinite is horribly tedious to play. It has awful linear modern level design where you're basically just walking...

Part of the problem here is that most games have bad writing. They have bloated, inefficient, flat dialogue. Characters say things in a drawn out, inelegant fashion that lacks any emotion or unique spice or energy. That's what Mass Effect is like to me; its just a bunch of horribly uninteresting...

I don't understand the problem people have with first person platforming. Why do you need to see your feet? Your character is a floating blob; all you need to do is look down at wherever you're jumping. I don't even really pay attention to my character's feet in 3rd person platformers. I don't...

Zombies are one of the most boring monster/creature designs every created. They're just messed up looking humans that sort of wonder around and then wander towards you while making growling noises. Nothing is being done here to make them interesting; I don't give a shit if the Last of Us calls...

I can only imagine how bad these new consoles are going to be. Think about what microsoft is going to do with the next version of kinect and all this smartglass stuff. A new kinect will probably be a standard part of the xbox 720 package; it will come in every box just like the controller. There...

I think that I'm an online introvert; I like talking to people in person, and I love meeting people who are interesting. But when I try to interact with people on the internet I often feel like I'm trying to talk to a really stupid, really boring, really unfunny version of the borg collective...

The biggest problem with game stories is they are currently all telling the same exact story with the same exact character: Large bald military/ex military dudebro everyman must shoot machine guns at aliens/terrorists/orcs in a dark industrial/urban/postapocalyptic area for a few hours until a...

This railroading has basically made me completely lose interest in nearly all shooters (and by extension nearly all current generation console games, because heaven forbid anyone make anything that isn?t a shooter), but I don?t like open world games either; I find them just as tedious and...

I think it?s abundantly clear what the ?next dual analog sticks? is. It?s the back touchpad on the NGP. That should be the thing they stick in the next Nintendo controller, a multitouch panel on the back rather than a touchscreen on the front. Forget the motion control and cameras altogether...

I like the health system in Sin Episodes. It has regular health pickups and stations, but you can refill empty health stations with special items. Certain health items also explode into a healing mist when shot or blown up. The mist hangs around for a limited period of time and regenerates your...

Well this is the only review that properly addresses the fundamental problems I have with this game. It?s completely tied down by the awful bullshit of modern shooters. You can only carry 3 weapons, the levels are completely linear hallways with all the interesting scenery existing in the skybox...

I don't like watching let's-plays because, like everything else on the internet, I absolutely hate the people recording them. They're usually made by horribly irritating japanophile nerds with high pitched, shrill voices who scream and screech into abysmally low quality desktop microphones...

I majored in film in college so I think I can offer possible explanation for shitty American boxart based on first-hand experience. One of the main things I noticed in animation/design classes is that students frequently wanted to do things that ?looked cool.? People frequently wanted to add...
