Its an interesting point you bring up. Playing characters who are evil for being the sake of being evil. I do however think that this game is in poor taste. Would you still play this game if it was set in a school? Or if you played a Nazi in Auschwitz? My main problem with this game is that...

Can HBO just be in charge of all tv adaptations? Please? Now I haven't read the comics but why choose to adapt it into a tv series if you're going to drop one of the main characteristics of Constantine? I mean who are they trying to market this to? Can't be the fans of the comic and if it's...

Had a quick read through its Wikipedia page. Kind of bummed that there's no mention of a Ron Pearlman appearance besides a character that was created with Pearlman in mind, but he's played by a different actor. Maybe season two? Bonus points for having Ramin Djawadi score the soundtrack.

Huh, a thread praising Watch_Dogs. That's pretty refreshing. Main reason I bought it was because my local game store had a good combo of 20% discount if it was pre-ordered plus a 30% boost to game trade-ins if it goes towards paying for a pre-order. Only paying for the pre-order once I picked up...

Hey, Tom Cruise is actually a good actor. He's been playing a tall man for years. *Ba-Dum-Tish* Seriously though, no. Every movie starring Tom Cruise is just Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise. Peter Serafinowicz would be a great cameo.

The fact that The Simpsons' mini-figs dont have the standard Lego stud on the tops of the heads makes me uncomfortable.

South African gaming is not as obscure as you might think. We have our own annual gaming expo/lan with booths from most major game companies (EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, etc) which is hosted by our national gaming magazine. We even have national teams for various eSports. As for imports most...

Im all for lawsuits, but only if the cause is just and the compensation is appropriate but come on 40 million? How do you come up with numbers like this? If GTA V was based entirely on her life then I would understand, but the character in question is a part of a small optional side quest and...

Its time to calm a llama down internet. So Ubisoft has made a decision you dont like. So what? Some people like sequels some people like stand alone games. Some people like COD some people like Journey. Ubisoft doesnt have to cater to every demographic. Now I do agree that they are releasing AC...

Besides a few skippable sequels/tie-ins you do not need to have any prior knowledge of the series to play any ff game. All games have a separate universe, story, characters and gameplay. Think James Bond. You dont have to watch every movie or read every book to enjoy Skyfall.

If an advert pops up on an Xbox and nobody is around to see it does it still make a sound? Adding advertising features to a console that you clearly can't advertise to save your life. Well done Microsoft, well done

Also research has shown that the term 'gun violence' only came into being after the release of the Nintendo64

So a mentally ill person living in a country that allows easy access to high calibre weaponry goes on a school massacre. ..... Curse you Doom 3 when will you learn that there are innocent lives at stake.

Seeing as the next generation of gaming is being overshadowed by the consumer rights Vs. developer rights debate I have decided to add my two cents. First of all I believe that both sides end up using flawed arguments. Developers seem to believe that used game sales take money away from them...

I personally think that used games can be helpfull to game developers. Case in point: When Arkham Asylum first came out I completely ignored it as to me superhero games are generally pretty poor. But when I saw a second hand copy selling for dirt cheap I decided to give it a bash. Turns out it...
