Any "map packs"- I don't know what halo/CoD/gears and the like are trying to pull, but 15 bucks for a handful of maps is imply not good value, regardless of the maps themselves. Even free it'd be a lackluster update to any game. Operation Crimson Hammer for Spiral Knights was QUITE boring...

If you would like to discuss the pros and cons of Steam (or any other DRM setup for that matter), please do so in a thread dedicated to that; I'll even copy and paste all the relevant posts into a new thread if you'd like me to. But if you gents and ladies can't keep things civil you're not...

All the people I play with know how to share, so while the occasional debate popped up we never felt too annoyed by the loot distribution. I've never touched the Torchlight series, Diablo 2's point/click interface bored me to tears so all my friends told me not to bother.

Forgive me if I missed a pre-existing thread, but I couldn't hold in my excitement for this game any longer. After seeing all the notes on BL2 trickling around the internet, I got up the nerve to preorder it, something I must stress I rarely do. Borderlands was a brilliant game despite...

Alas, they'd probably have voted to kick me too given some of the wonky AI... And that's the first Liam Neeson-based compliment I've received. Thanks. I know what you mean, but unfortunately I lacked anyone online or off to join me. It happens.

I tell myself it wouldn't matter, but I guess I don't really know until the game comes out. There was one article here where the author talked about his half-life mod: it was full of horrible gameplay and bad plotting, but everyone focused on the one word which implied a gay main character...

Well, I'm not entirely sure how the vote mechanics work myself, so I may have been filling the blanks to get my point across. But I got kicked, and the votes had to come from somewhere, right? Thanks, but I actually got a formal invitation back when I got a deviantart account. What's...

So I have a 48 free trial for xbox live and I decide to spend most of it with Left 4 Dead 2. Now in the short times I played online, Scavenge quickly became my favorite game mode. It's more like a sport than Versus, which is funny since I usually dislike CTF-style game modes. I join a random...

Popularity and length don't equal quality, though I will admit that I've watched all three, and I got ending fatigue around the end of the first arc for naruto, and partway into the second for bleach. They all have similar, noticeable, numerous flaws, so I'll have to agree with all the people...

Americans really DO love capitalism. A lot. California: -Skateboarding, surfing/beach activities, and being lazy are not our main pastimes. Maybe the third one, but just personally. -We aren't THAT liberal, just mostly. -We aren't all really rich. Considering I live in a tourist town...

I'll have to agree with the people who mentioned that this was an interesting point, but perhaps Ocarina of Time wasn't the best example. I've heard from more than one source that Nintendo only used a male character model for Sheik because a female one made the twist too obvious. I personally...

Psychonauts Okami Shadow of the Colossus Mass Effect Bishock Tricky question. It's hard to recommend a game on gameplay alone, but these five have some of the best writing, plotting, and atmosphere there is.

WOO. Of course my town banned fireworks this year... But YEAH BARBECUE. We Americans either celebrate by making things explode, or, if we can't do that, EATING STUFF. ESPECIALLY MEAT. THE MANLY SORT. AMERICA

While I (an American) am somewhat aware of rude European gestures (this one included), most Americans are less so. I wasn't aware the ESRB was so culturally sensitive (or even culturally aware). Considering it's a Canadian/American organization, and they misread OUR culture often enough, then...

Depends on the FPS. The list below should make it obvious how I play a game, though. In general: Best: *Assualt/storming a position *Close-Combat (especially the knife in CoD 4) - the two overlap often *Sniping with medium-range weapons Worst: *Sniping with long-range weapons...
