The strongest female lead ever in any video game is hands down, Valesquez - from Traffic Department 2192. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Department_2192 If you have not played this game, PLAY IT NOW. It is a classic in writing, science fiction and character development - especially...

So a friend and I are doing up an entry for the "Ur right answer" contest, but we're kind of stumped right now for what questions to discuss. We have a camera, a porch and a few hours of sunlight - anyone out there want to suggest appropriate enough questions for a nerdy enough topic? We'd...

Excellent episode! Though me and a friend are entering into the contest. We have a camera, we have a porch. But we lack questions given we cant find much overlap between our various gaming/nerdy experiences. So! Anyone have any questions we can explore?

Hello folks, Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep1tpzicPp0 I've done up a small video commentary series talking about quests in MMORPGs today. Its fairly rudimentary right now in terms of visual style right now now as I get the hang of Sony Vegas, but for the moment I think it...

Small article I've written. Not exactly a review, per se, but more an examination if you will (hence the title). Not entirely happy with it, but deciding to move on and just post it for now. Hope you get an enjoyable read, at the least. *** I like strategy. It's always run through my veins...

I've been a longtime TF2 fan, but was recently looking for something different. I was gonna try Battlefield Heroes, but when I read the review and realized it had a levelling system all I can say is "D:" and avoid it like the plague. I really dislike leveling systems in MMOFPS games in all...

I've heard about the game and was considering getting it till I realized it was for the PS3. XD Still, this is fairly informative. Judging from what you described it seems to have a similar atmosphere as Fatal Frame, at least from what I've heard about the latter game. Regardless, good work -...

My Top 10: 1. Homeworld 1 2. Immortal Defense 3. Traffic Department 2194 4. World in Conflict 5. System Shock 2 6. Dawn of War: Winter Assault 7. Diablo II 8. Crusader: No Regret 9. Freespace2 10. Half Life 1

edit; double post, sorry

Immortal Defense. Its not just a game. Oh no. Its a story compelling enough to make it into a whirlpool of surreality thats just...well, lets not go there. Suffice it to say though, its pretty damn deep. Otherwise I'd have to say Traffic Department 2194 from the old DOS era. Great game, that...

Sometimes I still tend to play System Shock 2. Still play MW3 and 4 at times, along with Freespace 2 and maybe Tachyon: The Fringe. Still looking someplace where I can find Crusader: No Regret and No Remorse though, as those are two games that I'd die to play again :( Otherwise I dont really...

Hey folks, Before I go on about anything else, I'd like to say this first: I deeply respect not only The Escapist, but the De-Rez folks too and especially Chris Slack. Their work is quite fantastic and while not always being the top-notch humour on the internet, does it's purpose and gets a...

I have a game design I eventually want to make...but I'm too afraid to put it here or anywhere else (mostly out of fear the Idea will probably get stolen :P). But what the hey, can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs as they say. The entire idea is grand and probably unfeasable...

One entire TF2 Team (i.e. 1 person per class) vs....wait for it....the Combine. Now THAT is a story someone needs to write! :D Another good thing maybe the F.E.A.R. Pointman vs The Master Chief or Gordon Freeman. I've actually written this up a bit in a piece of fiction which also involved a...
