Gee, I was so disappointed when my offline character in Diablo 2 couldn't be played with my friends... oh wait, that's right, that wasn't a problem because I could play on lan or open battle.net. Did you EVEN PLAY DIABLO 2, Martens? While you have always online for your games because you're...

Ahhh, he can't disprove a vague feeling that you have based on nothing more than gut feeling with little to no evidence. Riiiight. Agreed with the post above that some of this is very short-sighted and that the author is focused on the small picture rather than the big picture. It's an...

Perhaps because they didn't: (a) Think the beta would be leaked at this stage (b) Think someone would over-react and cry "ZOMG BIOWEAR IZ LAEM!!!!!1ONEELEVENONE11111!!!1" because no one had edited a string yet. Ahhh, how wrong they were. It's a pre-release beta (they're usually known as an...

Nice theorycraft, but a system that limits (combat) gameplay options based upon dialogue (or other gameplay) choices really doesn't translate into good game design. In fact, it would be terrible design. Why? Because plenty of people talk in a way that doesn't translate nicely into appropriate...

QFT. His Lair of the Shadow Broker commentary basically boiled down to: 1) Liara has a completely different personality. Waaaaa! Waaaaaa! WAAAAAAAA! 2) Feron = Thane. 3) Because of 1 & 2, LotSB & BioWare == lame. That's seriously about the level of intelligence in his "review". I wish...

Ah, a ME2 = Gears of War proponent? *sigh* If they watched smudboy's videos, I imagine they probably had rational reasons to discard many of his suggestions. I disagreed with a large amount of what smudboy said. He wants a specific type of experience, and the majority of his complaints were...

That's a matter of personal preference. Shadow of the Colossus is pretty much the ONLY Japanese video game with a soundtrack that's appealed to me. Though people rave about the Final Fantasy soundtracks (more so than other JRPGs or Japanese games), I find them really dull. But from more...

I paid full price for Alpha Protocol. Don't regret it for a second. Despite the slightly clunky controls and set-pieces at times, I'd still rate it one of the best games I've played in the past few years. The majority of the hate is due to reviewers who were expecting "Mass Effect 2 as a spy"...

His persona is not the reason why I dislike the Jimquisition. The problem I have is that his arguments are almost always filled with logic holes you can drive a road train through and still have room to spare. If you're a "game critic" or doing "game journalism" or whatever it is he claims to be...
