I can't believe no one has mentioned Conker's Bad Fur Day yet. I mean, an opera singing giant turd? Redneck sentient farming equipment? I my opinion, that game is the king of weird, both in terms of antagonists and the game as a whole.

2011 wasn't a bad year in gaming I suppose. We had many wonderful titles. That said, I do have a candidate for Most Disappointing Game of 2011: Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter. SOTS 1 was, without hyperbole, bloody awesome and, in my opinion, one of the best games of all time. When SOTS 2...

With this game, the bar is set so ludicrously high Bioware will need a spaceship to get there. Honestly, I think ME3 will be really good, but I doubt it will live up to expectations, unless it comes with free tickets to the ISS, a cure for all the world's diseases and cake.

In short, NO. At least if it's Bioware's fault. If it's because of EA meddling I might be more forgiving. Simply put, ME3 is probably the one game I'm looking forward to the most next year. Ruining it would break my heart in about 10 different ways.

If we cannot, what else could we possibly have faith in?

Does the Zerg Swarm count as a weapon? If it does...well, Woe be upon thee Xeno scum!

So a fleet of Advent warships from Sins of a Solar Empire. An armada of elegant, heavily shielded, heavily armed warships crewed by psychic space jihadists. Well, I can think of a few fun things to do with that.

You don't. In this case I suppose you'd have to take their word for it. Or not, depending on the situation. In general however, everything is nonsense until you have proof that this is not the case. Otherwise you might as well believe any old wive's tale.

Ryan Dunn was not exactly a saint, but still this is tasteless even for WBC. I wonder how long the people of the US will put up with this crap. I know there is such a thing as freedom of speech, but speaking ill of the dead like this makes me want to consider if we should limit it. If WBC...

About the plot holes, consider this: If they explained everything in WoL, there would be nothing left to do in the expansions. By leaving plot holes or unexplained things, they create an easy sequel hook and a reason for us to buy the games when they come out. Think about this: Star Wars...

Can you imagine any polititian trying to make that fly in the US? Most nations are, unfortunatly, not as progressive as the Dutch are, so I'm afraid that will never happen. Thought of the day: Have you ever noticed that when something is being banned or restricted, the abuse of said item...

A wizard did it. That's the standard answer for all your questions on the way things work in SciFi and fantasy. Dont think about it and just enjoy the ride.

Toy story reference. Dont see many of those around here. Kudos for making me smile.

Why has noone mentioned Starcraft II yet? It's soundtrack is amazing enough to make the completely hollow and open ending feel like a victory.

I can't believe Two Steps from Hell hasn't been mentioned yet. THey are a group that pretty much specializes in epic bombastic trailer music. Heart of Courage, for example, played in the ME2 trailer is their handiwork.
