Funny that you mention that, I picked up Borderlands GOTY just a few days back, and it's probably what got me thinking about ME2. Pretty much a steal at $20, too...especially when a lot of people paid twice that for the DLC content alone. Seriously though, Bioware did this with the first one...

Here's hoping this mentality dies, and dies soon. Though, for those who remember, there was a lot of griping back in 2007 (Bioshock) and 2008 (Dead Space) for the very same reason. What makes it worse is that (for the very FEW of you who don't remember) the sequels to both of these titles...

Hey everybody, is there any news on if there will be a retail release of ME2 that will include all of that DLC for Xbox360 owners? I know that obviously a great deal of the DLC was packaged with the PS3 release, but obviously that doesn't pertain to me. So yeah, any news on this, Escapists...

I think LA Noire is more "bankable" to turn out to be a quality title. Brink strikes me more and more as an experimental jumble of ideas that may or may not congeal into something formidable. Normally, I'd ask whether or not you prefer online play vs. offline...but considering that you're...

Hey everybody, I've been a Lumines addict for probably about two years now, and just discovered the SHEER AMAZINGNESS that is Chime a couple days back. Any recommendations for similar games that have a puzzle/music hybrid going on?

"M4 Part Two" by Faunts....plays at the end of Mass Effect. Best credits song ever, if you're alright with music that isn't necessarily the theme, per se.

Professional reviews on Metacritic are by (mostly) qualified individuals who are being paid or are required to review the game. User reviews are individuals that clamor to the site in the hopes of dragging down whatever goodwill or optimism the professional reviewers have established. Not...

Never did it while in college, nor have I missed work for it. I get that some people get excited (and trust me, I seriously considered doing it for Dead Space 2) and impatient at the notion of having to wait for something, but it's just not worth it (both financially and job security-wise)...

I think this is more of a two-part question: Are there game's that you have flat out just not finished (and have no intent to), AND what percentage of your games have you currently completed? ...if that makes sense... Personally, probably about 10% of my games, I really have no desire to...

Alright, this might get me in trouble, but *charging up the flameshield* Final Fantasy 9. Sorry guys, but I really like the modern vibe that FF7 and FF8 were rocking. I get the "back to basics" emphasis of 9...but that's not what I wanted. That, and the character design imo, was...

It'd be a hard feat, that's for sure! Obviously, not all "fear triggers" work for all people, and the sheer fact of not being alone might be enough to overcome it. Plus, having someone to talk things over with (as opposed to insanely rambling to oneself) would likely lessen (though it could...

I would say that there certainly are games out there that have a "stealth" element (Splinter Cell: Conviction) or have the option of being stealthy (Fallout, Alpha Protocol), but I can pretty safely say that "strictly stealth" titles are gone/on the way out. Why? I'd say it's a combination...

Hey everyone, I was recently marveling at the product of Team Bondi's motion capture work on LA Noire and it had me wondering just how likely it would be that the industry as a whole would move in such a direction, or be able to afford said resources in the first place. Are we only a few...

Eternal Darkness has one of the best narratives, hands down. I'd venture to place it as an "adventure title" of sorts...there's combat, but the emphasis is on puzzle solving via the glyphs acquired. The way in which the narratives are interwoven across time is masterfully done, and, in my...

Umm....I played Mass Effect 1, and the only next-gen console I have is a Xbox 360, I was simply pointing out the perspective of PS3 players. Granted, I only played through the entire thing once when it came out (something that happens when you're bogged down with school and/or other games)...
