I've never said why is WoW so popular? I just say I've had more fun at the dentist's office. WoW is easily marketable because like Shamus said it's what all the friends are doing and there's this whole need to conform (and the game makes it easy to conform) and it's all very social hierarchy and...

The console is simply too simple. It's too damn efficient. You don't have to worry about this, that, and the other thing. RAM, or cards, you just pop the disc in and play that sumbitch till it red-rings or finishes your grilled chicken (In the case of the PS3) Now that the gaps between...

I really think people should practice better moral fiber and not pirate, but hell I'm an optimist. On the other hand, I'm wondering how my people here actually knows what obfuscation means without looking it up.

Can you actually play tennis or bowl a perfect frame, hell can you even box? No all games are simulations for things people find hard to do, or illegal in fifty states and the District of Columbia, not to mention a few countries. A light gun and what the Wii controler can actually do are...

Spot on Shamus.

Sequals, like you said, are okay in moderation. Honestly I would like to see more breaking away from the numbers (Unless it's Final Fantasy, you stick to your numbers because everything else kind of sucks.) Like, what is it Halo Wars? That gives you some back story into the Halo universe that...

I miss my Wii. It was stolen about a month or two ago but I just haven't got the drive to replace it with all my games. I mean I'm guilty, oh no, of being a casual gamer at times. Because a lot of those casual games are fun, they eat up free time and don't require a lot of investment, cheap and...

Wait now you tell me boarding, looting, and razing ships is... oh THAT kind of piracy... Anyway, yeah I tried it, I felt guilty, I got rid of it, and don't do it anymore. Lesson learned. There are a lot of nice indi titles and free copies out there for everyone, and people have a right to be...

First off Shamus, I have to say my unicorn could knock the horn of your unicorn's head. But to the point. I find myself a bit of both depending on the game. Mass Effect for example I find myself leaning toward the heroic. I'm more than willing to let the game pick my party's points while I...

Personally, I thought it was a nice touch, and honestly there are some games that do it right and some that do it wrong. I more or less like them, its not really good or bad in my opinion it's just there. Like the Kojima mega-cutscene or the mushrooms in Mario. I have to say in taking a martial...
