I'm hoping you all can recommend some games to me. Here's what I'm looking for: 1. Strategy game (ala Civilization) 2. Free 3. Multiplayer - And an intelligent player base is bonus. 4. Preferably browser based, but if it requires a lightweight download I won't mind too much 5. Doesn't...

My last exposure to console piracy was PS2, so I don't know if this is how it still works or not but... ...you got a chip and then soldered it into the console somewhere. As far as downloading stuff? No. This was long enough ago that downloading an entire game would have taken FOREVER. We got...

I'm sure this is true in many FPSs, but I particularly notice it in BC2... ...your pistols are never cocked. The hammer is up. Magic pistols...

I've spent a ridiculous number of hours on BC2. The destructible environment is a game changer in my mind. I'm going to have a hard time getting into any FPS that doesn't have it after this.

Definitely give it another try. The more experienced the players (say, over level 20) the fewer the snipers. I'm not surprised the beta had tons of snipers. With summer vacation on, we're seeing a resurgence of snipers (lots of school kids just picking it up) but it will die down again. Also...

Not just the gaming industry, but the movie and book industry as well. I've been a post-apocalyptic fan for years. On the one hand, I love that there's new content. On the other hand, I'm the kind of person who likes being unique in her tastes, so I'm a bit annoyed that something that is such a...

OT: I love that. :D

The Wii made gaming approachable for non-gamers. Think about the typical PS3 or Xbox game lineup. Those games generally assume you know something about gaming, or have played that particular type of game before. If you play online multiplayer, PS3 and Xbox folks have little patience for "Noobs"...

Oh My God YES. I was playing last night and died literally 6 times on one round of rush because this one medic kept reviving me before killing whoever it was that killed me first. Personally, I'd rather no one but my squad revive me, because they can then at least warn me that I'm getting...

I would love to have some way of saying thanks. I play BC2 a lot, and the only people who can actually hear me are the ones on my squad. It is still so rare for someone to drop ammo that I always say thank you whether they can hear me or not. I just wish they COULD hear me. I think if there was...

I'm torn on my answer to this question. I eagerly anticipated RDR, and bought it the day it was released. When I bought it my interest was primarily in the Free Roam, because I have tons of people on my friends list, and I wanted something to replace Borderlands (which is stale now, and will be...

The fact that I enjoy FPSs surprised me, particularly war type FPSs. I'd always looked at them before and thought I wouldn't enjoy them, but now it's my favorite genre, and my current favorite game is Bad Company 2. For context: I'm a girl, and while I'm not the Casual Games or strictly RPG...

My biggest annoyance with that age group is the dependency. I'll admit I have a soft heart for someone seeking help. I'll be the first person to offer a noob assistance in learning the ropes. Some folks will take that assistance and run with it, while some will then decide they want my help with...

I felt this way originally. I've been exploring Home the last few days, though. There are some fun mini-games (wish there were more), and I liked that you could virtually visit the E3 booth. There is definitely room for improvement, particularly adding content that appeals to the over 15 crowd...

I enjoyed Twitter when it first began, but dumped it about 6 months ago. It was interesting when the content was fresh and the content generators were interesting. But when every mom-and-pop started using it I decided I was done. It's as bad as My Space now. I generally agree with you on the...
