    Moments in Games that Made you Cry

    Two games did it for me, more out of joy than sadness. Chrono Cross was the first one. After everything I'd gone through in the game, everything all of the characters gave up, sacrificed, and all the people we lost, it was gratifying to conquer the final enemy, and see them all rewarded with...

    Has a Game Ending Ever Been Spoiled for You? [Spoilers] Black Ops Ending

    I had the ending of the first disc of FFVII spoiled for me by Cheatcc.com. God rot it you bastards! Spoiler f****** tags! *beats Cheatcc with Mario's mallet*

    M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender"

    Wow. First, for those of you who know what's coming, let me just confirm what you've probably read elsewhere by now. This movie is bad. Really bad. It fails at nearly everything it tries to do, and it tries a lot. It's a poor adaptation of widely praised animated material, it's a lackluster...

    Know Your Kung Fu: A Review of Gaming Styles

    Before I get started, to the administrators, and The Escapist community at large: I know calling this a review is stretching the definition a little bit, and I'm asking for some leeway regarding it. This seemed like really the best forum to put something like this, the place where it would be...

    Shamelessly mining the knowledge bank

    Been there, done it, DEFINITELY a good experience. It's the videogame difference between bottom shelf wine coolers and 100 proof Southern Comfort.

    Shamelessly mining the knowledge bank

    I need to tap The Escapist's vast and far-reaching field of videogame knowledge for suggestions. I'm a PC gamer, and I've been looking for something new and interesting to play for the past few months, but every time I hit google I get the usual "Top 10" lists that invariably include: Bioshock...

    First Encounter Assault Recon

    F.E.A.R.. Barely three years after its release, and its name is already synonymous with gaming-done-right. You don't have to be Nostradamus to see the ultimate ascension of this title into gaming's Hall of Fame, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Doom, System Shock, Final Fantasy, and Zelda...

    Gears of War: It Should've Been Better

    I don't mind hearing that if he'd said it as much. But he came to me with rude words in a rude manner, so I responded thusly. I don't go into anyone else's threads and gripe at them, then tell them what to do with them.

    Gears of War: It Should've Been Better

    Well, after hearing a couple of people suggest it, I went back and stared at the START GAME screen for a few minutes, and just like they said, there is a short cinematic giving a bit of background to the game, namely what the world is, (It is Sera. I guess someone just forgot to correct Anya's...

    Gears of War: It Should've Been Better

    I did. Read the review and quit your bitching.

    Gears of War: It Should've Been Better

    As I swam through the internet a few days ago looking for a new game to sample, I happened across several old ads and praises for GoW. Luscious screenshots of giant, pissed off Marines fighting an alien invasion at 6000 rounds a minute, combined with the praise many of my friends had given this...

    Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath

    System Specs: AMD 6000 dual-core processor 2 GB RAM Nvdia 8600 PCI-e, 256 MB. This review will be kind of short, since this is an expansion, and much of the core elements were covered in my C&C 3 review. LOADING AND INSTALLATION Thankfully EA didn't cock this up. The...

    Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

    That's what I'll do next! The expansion! I have indeed played it, and you wouldn't be wasting your money to buy it.

    Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

    I'm not sure. I was thinking about doing F.E.A.R. next, but that's kinda old. My limited budget kinda keeps me from reviewing cutting edge titles.

    Gigantor borrows Assassin's Creed off a housemate: gives it back soon after.

    Assassin's Creed sounds like the all too common case of a game having more potential than sense, like it was the rough draft of a better game meant to come, but never did. Appreciate the review man, this'll give me an idea of what to expect if I ever have the chance to play this.
