Good news everyone! Amazon EU has released the pricing information and release date for the new Xbone. Here is the good news and the bad news. Unfortunately the fact that the price and release date have been (maybe)released is all the good news we get. As for the bad news, yes, the price has...

I will second Skyrim and Civ 5. I have played every game in the Civ series and think 5 is a great addition. Legends of Grimrock - Just started yesterday but love it so far Mount and Blade Warband - Cheap game, great for simulating hand to hand Knights in shining armor combat. Graphics and...

Let me start off by saying I have limited knowledge of cell phones and can only tell you what I learned from personal experience. A. You have to buy an unlocked smart phone. Do not buy anything that comes from Verizon, Verizon works on a different network (GSM I think please don't hammer me...

I'm with you on this one Wakenbake. I am stuck on Skyrim as well and have yet to play my unwrapped copy of ME3. I have been struggling with living with a non gamer for about a year and a half now. What it boiled down to at first was me either staying up ridiculously late to play (after she...

I handle interviews on a quite regular basis and the lie you told is really not a big deal. They just wanted an example of where your moral compass points. Clearly you are an honest person judging by your (over)reaction to this white lie. If you would have lied about something really relevant to...

Hello Escapists! I am a big fan of racing games in general (preferring sim types over arcade) and have recently started watching (and fiercely enjoying) rally racing. I haven't spent any time with Forza 4 and very little with Gran Turismo 5 (because of the horrible loading times!) and need...

Mount and Blade Warband is the best of the MB games. I love the large scale combat although the vanilla version lacks a in terms of troop strategy. I really enjoy the modded versions better that add simple formations such as Shield Wall for infantry or Wedge for the cavalry. I have over 100...

I also played all three and Warband is my favorite. For me exploring all of the various troop trees and building up my army was the best part of the game. In Fire and Steel I was not a fan of hiring mercenaries and then equipping them with better gear, to me it was a completely unnecessary layer...

I was not aware there was a demo mode! I appreciate the advice guys and I will be giving it a try.

Hello Escapists and thank you in advance for the advice. I haven't played Minecraft up to this point despite all of the hype. But I am thinking about trying it out as it is relatively inexpensive. The only thing holding me back is that I bought Terraria (yes I know they are different...

Buy plastic cups, paper plates and plastic silverware. Not having to do dishes rocks. I lived like this during University and then the first few years of glorious bachelorhood. For some reason it seems like doing dishes causes more arguments than any other chore in the house. Don't get a dog...

I recently moved to Switzerland and in the part I live they speak German, well Swiss German but that's a whole other story... I used to hate the language. It wasn't until I developed a basic understanding of the language that I began to appreciate it. As you learn more and more and get used...

I watched it and really enjoyed it. I was originaly put off by the slow mo kool aid like blood flying but I got over it. I really enjoyed the story and have already re watched the season. If you like it you should check out the next series Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. Its a shorter season, 6...

I would highly reccomend Elder Scrolls Oblivion from the options you gave. I have been playing that game on my 360 since the release date and am still not bored with it. I just downloaded Terraria yesterday and can't stop playing it. It cost me 9.99 Euros and is worth every cent and more!

I have all 3 of them. And Warband is by far the best. The newest one Fire and Sword is actually my least favorite. As mentioned before the modding community is huge and add a lot of different scenarios to the game. New equipment, troops even complete re works of the map. Plus I am by no means...
