Just a random poll I suppose, it came to mind when I got the new update for Xbox 360 and notices that the avatars had become less 'cartoon-y' and well, I'm curious to what people think are the best avatars.

Well I remember that Operation flashpoint: Dragon rising has the 'bandaging wounds' thing to it, and you can only loose so much blood before you keel over and kick the bucket, and the locational damage comes into play as well, shot to the head is an insta kill if I remember, thankfully it...

Admittedly the amout I tried to use it was not substantial, about 1-2 TDM games at most, but the point remains that it is still annoying to be one shot killed before you can even get one shot off with say, an MP5, my favorite weapon :D

I agree that overpowered weapons are boring, and the point of a game is to have fun, so being forced to use a weapon and remove the element of fun to some just to stand a competitive chance isn't what I would say is fun, most of the fun of playing comes from having close matched that test wit...

I'm glad you agree, forcing a player to stop playing a game they enjoy because of abuse of imbalance is just wrong =/ I picked up CQC from...to be honest I can't recall xD But the only experiance I have had with MGS is I watched someone play MGS4 for a bit, maybe the last few chapters.

This is the kind of thing I am talking about, things like this can be deal-breakers for online games, players don't have fun having to use something because it is just plain better, players want to be able to play how they want and still have a chance, while still having some kind of challenge...

Well, that is the standpoint of most abusers of the weapon, sometimes devs put something into a game and while it isn't ment to be used in one way, through exessive play, players find ways to gain an unfair advantage through use of the weapon. This isn't always a problem, but when this use has...

If you have played any game online I'm sure there is something other players will tell you it's wrong to use, because of imbalance or because they are just pricks, whatever. But a question on my mind is; Should players omit using something placed into a multiplayer game because it has balance...

I know I have a tendancy to use run on sentances, I'm working on that, but I think you're confusing my opinion of how the game challanged me as an attack on it, I was merely trying to state that it wouldn't be as much fun for some more hard-core players that look for constant challange, as...

After a long period of in-decision, I picked up Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii because it had been too long since I had played an adventure game. Now let me start by saying that I have been into playing the Mario adventure games for a while but I am by no means someone who will buy the latest...

I think I adressed that point already in my last comment...but again, I should have worded it better by saying I don't want to review popular games just yet because I need to be able to really think about what makes the game good and what makes it bad as opposed to just ranting about how much I...

Blah, I though this was the wrong section, and as per your statement regarding if it matters if it has been reviewed before, it isn't so much that they have been reviewed before, more that I am mostly reviewing games I like but can critisize easily but to do a game like Call of duty 4 would be...

Hoping this is in the right section... I have just recently started reviewing games, the only two being done so far are earth defence force 2017 and dynasty warriors 6. However I find myself looking at my games and having no clue what to do for my next one, I was hoping to avoid mainstream...

The very first game I remember playing was Banjo-Kazooie for the N64 and it was fucking amazing. I am probably going to end up reviewing that game once I feel my skills are good enough to portray it's true worth. Other games I grew up playing include; Perfect Dark, 007 Goldeneye, Pokemon...

I can't exactly say I understand what distincts one sub-genre from another these days, to say something is death metal and then something that sounds quite similer to be, i dont know, punk metal or something confuses me, the main issue with this being the sub-genres like 'emo' and 'punk' even...
