Just curious, how would you define an Arena shooter? I guess I sort of thought of feel like Quake and UT got defined as arena shooters more because the action is confined to a small or enclosed map more as the result of technological limitations than anything else. Do you think there's...

Seriously, when/how do you find time to play? And how often? I was between XBox and PC games maybe 15-20 hours a week before our little girl game along. I expected to give up "all of my time" to the baby, but I figured I'd be able to squeeze in an hour or two every couple of days. But it...

For me, it wasn't the rinse-and-repeat formula, but this experience you're describing that made me stop playing COD, I think around the MW2 timeframe. Call of Duty just made me too tense. When friends or family would call in the middle of the game, I would get irritated and it showed in my...

Did anyone see the Fountain?

When I was a little younger, I tried Salvia and Kratom a day apart. The first night's sleep was fine, but the second night I got stuck in a dream in a dream in a dream etc.....maybe it was a coincidence, but I must have woken up l0 different times, with each waking feeling like a real one (kind...

I've always been interested in this argument because people usually like the books better than the movies if they read them first. I just think those movies are always going to suck to you because its a tricky thing to adhere to the author's story when you're trying to cram that kind of...

Just want to say I respect that you stuck your neck out there and made an argument for your dissenting opinion. I think with so many new ideas out there about what other life could look like, its hard to say for sure whether or not we've even been visited. I'm not a fan of those Ancient...

That's pretty much it, right there....call me lazy, but I'm tired of having to change the games out. Ever since we had our little one, I'm just as likely to turn the damn thing off and take a nap as I am to get off the sofa and swap disks. Even an optional disc changer would be an...

I've honestly been disappointed by most of the titles. A lot of them are a blast the first time you play, and lose their luster quickly: Yoostar, Fruit Ninja, Kinect Adventures... But all that changes when you have a few friends over to play. I agree that Dance Central is a blast, and I...

We just had a baby, so even though i have Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, and now UFC 3, I haven't played them yet. Also, I haven't gotten into Wings of Prey, and I only played DCS A10 once.

Has anyone ever played "The Path of Neo"? I thought that game was pretty awesome at the time, and I thought it was a franchise that was pretty much ready-made for video games. Only most of them sucked. But The Path of Neo was decent. Would a new Matrix game pique your interest?

I didn't think Homefront was bad at all.

I think this is the fastest way to get your favorite titles taken off the shelves... You know how in the 90s the sportsbike manufacturers added TREs to their bikes so that the government wouldn't come in and regulate them? I think that's the kind of self restraint developers should employ...

thanks for the replies, folks. I Orcs looks interesting, I may start there. it looks a little silly for me, but I like the idea that you can participate in the action in addition to "placing the towers". One other thing, I have Starcraft 2, but I never play it. Are there any good tower...

Hey Guys, I'm sure this has been covered before, but I really like Defense Grid, and I'm trying to find out if there are any tower defense titles that are as good or better. We just had a little girl last month, and games like these are great for me right now, since I can pause and get up to...
