    If you made a war game...

    A special forces FPS, but really realistic and very hard - like that SAS game that came out a while back.

    If you made a war game...

    A Gulf War game wouldn't be that fun, to be honest, since it mostly just involves utterly destroying an opposing force which has no modern militry hardware.

    Under-Used Themes/Concepts In The Gaming Industry

    The problem with most "modern wars is that they tend to involve a lot of massacres of innocent civilians by soldiers + rape and torture - since genrally both sides do this (the more powerful force to a greater extent), it would be hard to make a game that was 'appealling' to the mass market...

    if you could have any fictional invention

    A GSV (a General Systems Vehicle from the "Culture" series of sci-fi novels by Iain M. Banks). They can be anywhere up to about 200 kilometres long, have pretty much anything inside them... oh, just read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_types_(The_Culture) GSV is 2.1 on the list. Also I...

    Best Local Multiplayer Games

    The best thing about nightfire is when you turn the weapons selection onto random, just because its sometimes so wierd (funny bugs on certain guns start happening, and you sometimes get turrets with guns on that clearly weren't mean't to be kept in the game.

    This topic is nearly a month old - why is it still listed as 'new!'?

    Poll: Controlling the Game

    I don't have a decent console of any kind so, although my PC is also crap, I almost entirely rely on WASD + mouse.

    What game would like to see a movie made of?

    The Metroid series - it would be interesting because it be quite like a modern silent movie (at least no speech, anyway).

    Poll: Will we ever see the end of prejudice?

    no-ONE - doesn't mean there will be noTHING to witness it. I suppose it depends on your definition of "sentient life" too.

    Books and Series to Avoid

    Oops, I forgot to include the Old Testament. A couple of health doses of genocide, with large helpings of rape, torture, destruction on an epic scale, and lots and lots of murder (mostly for no apparent reason). The plot is generally pretty garbled too, and the author(s) made no attempt to...

    Books and Series to Avoid

    Every single book which has a cheap looking illustrated cover, and purports to be about teenage vampire werewolves who are a bit confused and angst ridden, because they have to save the world from some other vampire werewolf furries...

    Poll: What's your religion?

    "Non-religious" isn't a religion. Also, why have you not included Pastafarianism - it is surely just as (if not a little more) legitimate a religion as the others listed?

    Power armoured marine or girlish boy with big sword?

    I really don't enjoy JRPGs and most fighting games, so I haven't ever played a game in which there are any really thin boys with huge swords (no euphamism intended), but I hate the very idea of them anyway. I have played games starring Beefy McMacho, and I hate those characters too, but they...

    Cheating Sans Guilt

    I was given Goldeneye for the N64 by a family friend, and he'd left his completed gamesave on the cartridge (those were the days...) he'd unlocked nearly all of the cheats, and I spent many an hour gleefully running around the second Bunker level with invincibility, infinite ammo and all weapons...
