Lol, Nice And L4D isn't bad, it just isn't Half Life. I bought and played the hell out of both L4Ds but there is no denying that they aren't on the same level as some of VALVes other works

So, around this time of year and a little into the beginning of the next year, we get a bunch of people giving out the usual awards. Game of the year, RPG of the year, Shooter of the year, Best Soundtrack, Call of Duty of the Year, and so on and so on. This thread is not for those awards...

It isn't that I don't like the game, simply that I think it isn't worthy of a 10. I don't really like the CoD series but I understand that some people think it is the best game ever and I respect that but I don't honestly think that IGN was justified in giving such a prize to a pacman remake

Mass Effect 2 Portal Half-Life 2 Starcraft 2 Fallout 3 When you see this list of games, you most likely think "this is a list of some of the best games ever made (Don't bother arguing that a game doesn't belong there, that isn't the point) What would your first reaction be if I threw...

So I was watching the new Infinite gameplay trailer for the umpteenbazilionth time and every time realized that every time I watch it, there is one little thing that really bugs me. http://kotaku.com/5644075/ten-minutes-with-bioshock-infinite Between 1:44 and 1:47, on the bottom right hand...

OK, one thing that is really bothering me here is that you guys are whining about how it was given a ten and it didn't deserve it and you are saying 8 or 9 but you haven't played the game. I am not saying that the 10/10 was justified but don't try to arbitrarily assign a number to a game you...

Maybe you should re-read that review, it isn't given a 10/10 If you knew how to read you would understand that they gave it a 9.5/10 BECAUSE the story was imperfect. They like the gameplay and they like the multiplayer enough to forgive an imperfect story. Next time you point your need for...

OK, so over the past 72 hours, there has been a MASSIVE steam thread about the recent portal updates. (found here) http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1168990 The main idea is that it is an announcement of Half-Life 2: Episode 3 or Portal 2 (both of which have been confirmed...

This entire thread is a psychological experiment for the sake of me as well as gaming as an industry. By viewing this thread, you have devoted time to reading this off of only one bit of knowledge of what it is about. Similarly, with games, all you have is a name. One might respond by saying...

Here is what I personally have learned from gaming over the last year or so. 10) The apocalypse is indeed arriving soon. The announcement/release of: Rage, Fallout: New Vegas, Borderlands, Brink, Metro 2033, et cetra. 9) Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is fun! DJ Hero got good reviews (rightly I...

The Behemoth, developers or Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid announced their third game will be called Battleblock Theater. They also released a trailer made of badassery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxHV5n6AkSI&feature=player_embedded What we know Gameplay 2D retro platforming. Pure...

So analysts promised us an amazing 2010 so I am going to do a sort of monthly check in. January was not supposed to be all that amazing, which is good, because that way no one's heart was broken. I went in to January thinking "Oh boy! Month one of the super-year 2010 is starting!" and while...

So I am a huge fan of Battlefield Bad Company (and the whole series for that matter) so as soon as the BF:BC2 Demo came out, I quickly downloaded it and began to, how you say? Own many a n00b. As awesome as this was, it was extremely glitchy. When I kicked it up for a second time, I noticed a...

I do think this is sad. While I don't want a Portal remake, a sequel was promised and multi-player was too. There is no obvious way to have good portal multiplayer (ghost race, interferable race, co-op, arena throwing thing, etc.) so the person who lead the project in the first place seems like...

I liked the sands of time trilogies but the problem with video game trilogies is that the middle instalment can't provide closure but it also can't make that much new story so it pretty much slowly draw out the story put in place by the first game
