    The Walking Dead Episodes 1 & 2 Review

    So, yes, awesome game. It's been mentioned before. Now, I haven't been following much of the Walking Dead comic series or television show. I read a few paragraphs about them on Wikipedia but the basic plot, at first glance, looks kind of muddy. My question is: How does the writing in the...

    Dear Esther Review

    I'd like to sing the game's praises, too. And I'll tell you what I enjoyed most. In the words of the review: "You might be startled by a bird roosting in an empty, dilapidated house, or see an ominous light emanating from a distant cave, only for those moments to be absent your second time...

    The Little Touches in Assassin's Creed

    I'm not sure I agree with your Fallout 3 point. For example, in the Museum of Technology, you can reach a hidden ledge leading to a room with valuable items, but also two embracing skeletons on a mattress. A nice touch. And in the town of Minefield, besides being a gigantic Snatcher...

    Video Games you cannot criticize.

    I'm going to have to take issue with Persona 4. It's mostly excellent, but, damn, those little "slice of life" segments really got on my nerves, mostly due to how mundane and unfunny they were. Not to mention the plotting could've used a bit more, hm, directness. But, no, I personally...

    Zero Punctuation: Splinter Cell: Conviction

    Like a few others who replied here, I'm a Montrealer. And, I must say, I have no idea why anyone would suppose that Montrealers are stupid. I can understand "needlessly angry", "schizophrenic", "poorly maintained asphalt streets", even "poutine poutine el oh el", but why "stupid"?

    At what point did you fall in love with your favorite game?

    Emerging from the Vault in Fallout 3 is definitely going to be mentioned several times, I think. They did a great job capturing that "beautiful; but what now?" feeling, assuming that has a proper word for it. I guess my other favourite game right now would be Mass Effect. The scene during...

    Fun games to watch?

    Oh, yes, I did mean the "back seat driving" brand of watching. The kind where you ask the player, "Sever your rescuer's head. Let's see what happens."

    Fun games to watch?

    No, I don't mean games loaded with cinematics. Just games that allow you to be entertained simply by watching a friend play. Like... BioShock. Or God of War. I need more.

    What would happen if every single PC game offered an official toolset?

    Just as BioWare and Bethesda have done. I guess only a specific brand of video game might properly benefit from fanmade additions, but it seems to me that being able to adjust the gameplay settings to perfectly match your precise tastes is a laudable selling point. I wonder if most...

    Samuel L. Jackson: How many good films has he been in?

    I can't even name ten. Yet he's beloved by everyone. Including me. How would you explain it?

    Biggest regret, as a gamer?

    I'm sure many of us gave away or sold an old console, only to longingly stare at our TV sets, our fingers tapping imaginary buttons, wishing we could hear Mario's "It's-a me, Mario!" one last time. So, yes, my worse sin was letting my cousins take my Nintendo 64 away, games and all. Then they...

    Rule: If I need to go to GameFAQs to fully experience your game...

    Adventure games from the 90s are the serious offenders here. Since progressing through the game required the ability to match the exact "rational" reasoning the developers held, I'm honestly surprised the genre lasted so long, especially since GameFAQs wasn't the beast it is today.

    Why oh why can't I like Final Fantasy 6?

    It took a few shots of Jack Daniel's, but I made it past the octopus. To be frank, I think it might simply be the combat system that frustrates me. So far, all I seem to be doing is using the default attack command, healing between battles, and, maybe, if the enemies have a blue hue, using...

    Why oh why can't I like Final Fantasy 6?

    So many people say it's brilliant. But I can't get past the raft sequence before losing interest. I think it's starting to affect my personal life. My girlfriend won't give me the time of day. Dogs growl at me, while I've been repeatedly spit on by toddlers and young children. A homeless man...
