Master Chief is supposed to be dead. I'm thinking he's become like the microwave dinner of heroes- they thaw him out when they need something quick and convinient.

To clarify, I'm talking more about modern dispensationalism, such as the Scofield bible. Mainly the way Darby ran the books of Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelations through a woodchipper to produce a bizarre prophecy timeline. I'm sure the catholics always had an understanding of the beast of...

I'm so sad that this failed, it sounds like what I'd like to see more of in RPGs, whereas they wound up taking the same old Tolkein route again and again. Maybe yet... One thing, the doctrine of the Antichrist, the rapture and Israel-centered armageddon was only invented in the 1830's by a...

I think the Dune series hasn't recieved the movie it deserves yet. By the way, I've only seen the Alan Smithee extended cut of the David Lynch film (he took his name off it because he was unhappy with its direction) and I get the feeling it lost something when they tried to smooth out the plot...

Targeting the casual audience (READ:WOMEN!) Zynga are evil, ohhhhh how I hate them!

Also, there's Yahtzee's suggestion of reverse levelling that strips away abilities as you progress. If it were a strategy RPG, that would mean losing a lot of units with every victory, until you had a handful left to launch a last ditch attack on the overlord's palace or whatever.

It was made by the Dutch? Now it's just downright bizzare. Still, it's obvious it was made for the American market, perhaps the Dutch wrote it as satire, which was promptly lost on the American actors/localizers? Anyway, the baddies were just too likeable, I felt sad having to kill them :'(

The 90's! I love you! This means we get wizards and dragons and lizard men, AND guns, yay! As far as I can understand with your combat/stealth intergration, if I were to, for example, open up a minigun wielding dragon with an RPG, that blast would bring a legion of helicopters full of heavily...

I for one, would love to see protaganist based off Yossarian, the 'hero' of Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22. Excellent book, if you haven't read it, I highly advise you to do so. I highly value character and motivation as well as clever dialouge in the plot. If you're expanding art, then you're...

I'm not sure I can get into this one, because like billions of people I was, tragically, born NON-AMERICAN.

I really can't decide which is worse, Battlefield Earth or the Killzone scripts. You're probably right about the vote with your wallet thing, but I actually believe they'll get better one day. Remember what they were talking about in Extra Creditz? A change is on it's way.

Yeah, as stated above, just finished a decent shooter but had to slog through the most wretched piece of shit to ever be called a script. I think I sicked in my mouth a bit during the scene before they boarded the space elevator. I've always tried to maintain that the story is superfluous in...

I like over-the-top movies, anyone got a master list of all the good campy films?

Is there anywhere specific we can send our feedback so it reaches EA or DICE? Most companies love feedback on their products. If we could all do this, I'm sure they'd get the message (if they haven't already) about the most obvious and common suggestions, which are: More open world gameplay...

It's not that the powers that be down here have decided to ban violent video games, it's just another example of Australian leadership's biggest flaw- no one is willing to make the decision. We're stuck in limbo on this issue, the original decision to not create an 18+ rating for games was an...
