OOH Elephantmen, fun stuff... I'll second (or is it now third?) Transmetropolitan, and add in that anything that Warren Ellis does is great (skip Ignition City though) with a special mention for Planetary, great stuff. Y the Last Man is good, as is Fables. But Fables doesn't appear to have an...

I can actually remember really liking the PC Gamer magazines (French and English variants) because they seemed to put more of a focus on in depth reviews (at least at the time) which for example, led me to go out and buy Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, which the french PC Gamer (PC Jeux) had...

Yes you fool! Buy it, buy it now, and don't question me! And then just play the campaign to get to the time trial maps, which are heaps more fun than those stupid cops.

Well, my last name is 'Heron' which for those of you not aware, is a type of bird. And I'm a boy; so you combine these two together and get...HeronBoy! Wait no..that sounds bad. So I chose something that's reasonably similar, and I ended up with birdboy. Yay!

Well I've been playing Torchlight for the last week, and just finished Portal (again!) and so far there have been no problems whatsoever for me. I notice in the Steam forums a lot of people are having problems, but I'm wildly guessing that spending almost 3'000 Aussie dollars on a MacBook Pro...

I say yes, buy given the alternative (which included landing troops on Japanese soil 48 hours after dropping more bombs) I'd say its a necessary evil. But then again, that's what war is in general.

I can remember first hearing about this game in the French version of PC Gamer (PC Jeux) and thinking that it sounded interesting. Then I found at a GAME store for some truly absurd price, and got it with the original Halo for 10 dollars alltogether. Of those two games, VTM:B was easily my...

Now I remember. I just never thought that the guy in Starship Troopers were called the Terran Federation (only aw the film) but I do remember the 'Would you like to know more' And yeah, obscure reference.

I'm guessing Starcraft right? (Don't hurt me if I'm wrong) I probably went too fast in the "think up a future" phase, but you can still tell us why you like it. :)

Oops, I had that on their until I replaced it with the Mars Trilogy. Sorry!

Pretty simple question; what sci-fi future would you like to live in if you could be dropped into it, and why? Sorry if I missed out your favourite future, yell at me and expand my knowledge, the more good sci-fi books I have to read, or movies to see, the happier I am. :)

Personally, I disagree with Miss California's opinion, but does anyone want to know the great thing about the USA, and in fact most of the western world? You have the right to state your opinion. It's what allows us to come on these forums and scream at each other, and at her, it's...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Red Orchestra sequel, Heroes of Stalingrad, just announced, where there is going to be a single player campaign where you can play as a German. I think this is the first step towards showing the Germans as anything but human. While I'm sure that RTS' have...

Well, since my parents never got married, and I'm arguably a perfetly normal teenager, I don't actually see the big deal in marriage anyway. So I'm all for letting homosexuals get married. I mean, I know at least three kids alightly younger than me who have two mothers, and they've all turned...

Not a game, and not quite as extreme as your vision, but Forever War, by Joe Haldeman, takes place in a future where humans are at war for no adequately explained reason, with an alien species. It turns out that there was no reason to fight, that a simple lack of communication (and no attempt to...
