    John Carmack: PC Is Not the "Leading Platform" for Games

    It has come to the point where I avoid all games that are released on both the console and the PC. The reason is simple, it is basically a guarantee the game will be a bunch of crap on PC, with possibly horrible controls, brutal GUI and such awkward, buggy overall experience that's it's just not...

    *SPOILERS* Dragon Age 2 Discussion

    Honestly, I can certainly understand the fair share of criticism this game has received. Myself, I'm a lvl 17 mage, in act 3, and have just uninstalled the game, because I can't continue. It feels like going to work to grind this piece of crap. And after hearing even from fan boys that the...

    Mass Effect: ?Traveling makes a man wiser, but less happy.?

    Someone mentioned the Mako yet? It was not fun to drive at all. And the physics is totally ridiculous. Driving around with that thing in planet exploration almost made me quit playing the game. The side-missions are also incredibly repetitive.

    Zero Punctuation: Spore

    I would have appreciated Spore alot more if it was less shallow than a baby pool though. "Shallow sandbox" is as an effective combo as "tasty shit", "claustrophobic miner", "acrophobic pilot" or... man, I could go on forever. It's alot more fun coming up with awful combos than playing Spore...

    Zero Punctuation: Spore

    While I think you're absolutely wrong, it's not like it's a major accomplishment. How many competitors did he have actually? The other movies made by himself, featuring a metrosexual Robin sidekick, or his competitor featuring a laughable Governator on ice? Or could we count such masterpieces as...

    Zero Punctuation: Spore

    Yes. Yes he did. No acknowledgment for that though. That's still like stumbling around with a knife in your back, instead of having your throat slit open. You still die, only a little bit slower. But alright, you're right, it's impossible to even compare Batman Returns to a musical. Batman...

    Zero Punctuation: Spore

    I bought the game after watching a friend play through the first two stages (then I had to leave) to support mr. Wright for making an inventive new game - and I feel dirty because of it. It was ONLY the two first stages that were kind of inventive - and they got tiresome awfully quick because of...

    Spore is good, DRM is bad, shut up already (edited for repentence)

    I bought the game, didn't care about the DRM and still think the game sucked. Royally. If I would have been 8 years old, I guess I could have had an easier time looking past the incredibly thin surface and hailed the game with the perfect score of "Ooh, shiny!" The game is basically 5...

    Your total nerd moment as a gamer

    Slightly, IF you're female. If you're male however... My nerdiest moment must've been when I played Farcry during one evening. It was totally dark and watching Alien as a teenager has given me a slight phobia for crawling in ventilation systems. I explore one of these dark vents with my...

    Regretted purchases, and why?

    Baldur's Gate 2: I stopped playing at chapter 2 and never picked it up again. I hated it. Oblivion. I thought it would be fun and revolutionary. I was wrong. Frigging Spore. Watched a friend of mine play the first two evolution stages and thought "wicked!" Too bad those two stages were the...

    8 years to develop, 8 hours to beat, What do you think of SPORE?

    To summarize it shortly, the first two minigames were fun and felt new. If they would have spent 8 years of gunpowder on these creature and evolution stages, the game could have been thrilling to say the least. The land creature part was a little bit too repetitive (like everything in this game)...

    Spore. From single cell to galactic warlord.

    This isn't a review, it's a story.
