The events of ME:A do take place chronologically after ME3, thanks to the 600+ years it takes to get to Andromeda (it is a journey of two million-plus light years, after all), it's stated clearly that the expedition left in 2185, which is the year before the Reaper War started.

Oh, come on. If unobtanium is as vital to Earth's... well, everything as was suggested, then the only even vaguely logical response would be for Earth's government to step in with a full-scale military action that stomps the Navi into the ground and simply takes the unobtanium, along with...

Thirdly, they get together with Paradox to create a grand strategy version where you can play as anyone ranging from someone controlling a single planet as a vassal of one of the House Lords to one of the five House Lords themselves, having to deal with not just the other Successor States, but...

Minor nitpick - the reputation system in Fallout: New Vegas isn't new; it was part of Fallout 2 and (I think) the original Fallout as well. And as for Mass Effect, while there are Paragon/Renegade choices that are massively obvious, there are others that aren't quite so obvious (that I...

True enough, but I suspect that many - if not most - dev teams will go with the path of least resistance, especially if their corporate overlords are starting to get impatient.

Right, the "everyone who comes to Earth to help with the final push is trapped and starves" argument, which is not quite accurate. Firstly, there are other forms of FTL travel that don't include the mass relays, but they're a lot slower, so it'd take longer to return home. Which leads onto...

Fair enough. Stupid Stephanie Meyer ruining a perfectly serviceable word...

In fairness, the problems with the OFLC randomly slapping the RC tag on games have been around since during Howard's time in government. I could also point out that the Gillard government was the one that put out the request for submissions regarding putting a R-18+ rating in place for games...

Well, the Twilight's Hammer has always been part of WoW as servants of the Old Gods, going back to vanilla, so it's hardly a surprise that the patch dealing with the climax of the fight against Deathwing (the latest minion of the Old Gods) would be called Hour of Twilight.

Yeah, but 2000 wasn't really aimed at desktop users. But he did leave a couple of things out, and I'd do the list like this: 95, bad. 95b, average. 98, BAD. 98SE, ... meh. ME, OH GOD, THE HUMANITY! XP, ok... now we're starting to head towards an actually good OS. Vista, aaaand now we're...

I actually thought that was one of the best missions in the WoL campaign, to be honest. In any situation like shown in the Reach trailer, the fact that you know you're doomed to lose in the end is a bit of a downer, but if the events leading up to the ending are handled well, there can still...

For me, it's a tossup between the scene in Wing Commander where a damaged fighter is pushed off the deck (with the pilot still in it for added drama)... where it promptly drops. They're in deep space, and the stupid thing behaves as though it's near a planet. Facepalm number 1. The second...

While I probably (hell, almost certainly) won't be buying this instalment of MoH, it won't be because one of the teams for multiplayer is the Taliban. It'll be because the entire game sounds like it's trying to latch onto the success of MW/MW2. And, given that it's a modern FPS, will take about...

Yeah, the version told to me was: Who ate all the pies? Who ate all the pies? You fat bastard, You fat bastard, You ate all the pies!

From the Honor Harrington series: pretty much the entirety of the Mesan Alignment's leadership, with extra kicks as a bonus for the so-called Long-Range Planning Board. Although, given how Mission of Honor ends, there's every chance they'll be getting theirs, along with my other nominee from the...
