    Games you wish you hadn't spent the money on

    QFT and by far my most disappointed purchase ever.

    Bioware are getting really lazy as of late. (Possible Mass Effect 2 spoilers)

    To be honest, I enjoyed ME2. However, I think some of the criticism leveled by the OP, as well as the criticism leveled in the blog review linked earlier, are very fair, particularly in light of the fact that this is the second of a planned series, and they didn't seem to tie the stories...

    Game Dogs: Episode Six: The Cleric

    Not impressed. And speaking of recycled jokes and overused tropes... The whole search for secret doors/traps thing? Seriously? That one was even done by another vid series on this site (Unforgotten Realms), and in a funnier manner. C'mon....

    A View from the Road: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Microtransaction

    I've noticed that a lot of these replies involve concerns revolving around a "level playing field" (or something similar). Keep in mind that this is only one type of the microtransaction we're discussing. As noted in the article -- which I enjoyed, by the way -- there are different approaches...

    Favorite Failed TV show?

    I completely agree with those who have already said "Firefly," and I think I also saw a "Rome" somewhere up there (which I thought was also a great series). I'd also add "Miracles" to the list. Oh, and hey, Noamuth, The Sarah Conner Chronicles ... not cancelled yet! :)

    194: The Five Habits of Highly Addicted Gamers

    QFT. This "article" was terrible; the poster here captured, in a simple post, much more of what I expected to see from this piece..

    30 Percent of MMOG Players Buy Gold

    I disagree that it's all about laziness. It's been years since I bought any gold, but I'd done so back in the early days of EQ, and it was not anything to do with laziness. For some games, the best way to make decent money is to farm (or get really lucky, if you're playing a game where the way...

    Original Diablo Dev Talks Diablo 3 Art

    I could not care less about Roper's opinion. He has no credibility in my book at all after the absolute crap that was HG:L and the mismanagement of that fiasco. I would pay more attention to a genuine fan of the series' comments than I would his, because at least the fan has the courage of...

    Resubscribe to Warhammer, Get Shiny Things

    I still have an active WAR account, but I've been debating whether to cancel it for nearly 2 months now. I have a great guild who used to play together in DAoC (Mythic's earlier MMO), and they're a great group of people. Sadly, that's the only thing keeping me in WAR at all now. The gameplay...

    BioShock 2: The Big Sister Revealed

    Doesn't the new plot have something to do with kidnapping little girls from their homes out in the world (and potentially taking them to Rapture)? If so, I can actually see why we might see both Big Sisters and a return of Big Daddies in the second game. Big Daddies were strong, but they...

    Game series who's deaths you weep for.

    Good one. QFT.

    Game series who's deaths you weep for.

    Also not really a series, but I'd love to see updated/improved/modern versions of some old Microprose classics like Darklands or Master of Magic.

    HanbitSoft Confirms No More Hellgate For Western Gamers

    It's not worth it, even at $20. This game was terrible, and after (stupidly) falling for the hype, buying it when it first came out, and uninstalling it after (maybe) a day of play -- making it the most expensive coaster I have in the entire house -- I wasn't surprised to see FSS crash and...

    whats the game you most regret buying?

    2 words: Hellgate: London.
