Honestly this is just all a bi-product of the Copyright Laws in the United States and how multinational corporations influence how such laws are written & enforced... I'm not surprised and I don't expect anything to change, despite Elliot taking down Evil Corp. . . . Copyright Law of the...

Thief 2014 has the most incompetent audio implementation I've ever seen and to this day it's still not fixed and probably never will be. http://forums.na.square-enix.com/showthread.php?t=142563 Even Thief: The Dark Project has a better surround sound implementation and that game is almost 20...

Shamus- Stay critical, keep speaking truth to power while promoting good game design and I'll keep coming back to read what you write.

Egosoft, the makers of those fantastic X Universe games (except Rebirth...), removes the DRM from all of their games a year or so after release.

Well said Shamus, well said.

loved the Hellraiser Pinhead reference during the credits

American McGee's Alice, one of the most memorable games I've played from that era. If you haven't experienced this game you are missing out. Be use to vote for it on GOG, http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/american_mcgees_alice

Amnesia & the Penumbra games, definitely the best of the genre of the modern era.

F.E.A.R. 3 may have had F.E.A.R. in the title but it wasn't a F.E.A.R. game, it was a Co-Op shooter more reminiscent of Call Of Duty in the F.E.A.R. world. It's one of the few games I never completed, only playing for a handful of hours before uninstalling and regretting the purchase...

yeah... the completely incompetent sound design in this game ruined it within the first 30 minutes for me, after that it was uninstalled and never completed...

FC2 to this day is one of the few games that I saw through to completion, those almost instantly respawning guard posts ruined the game. The lush world and fire spread were fantastic though.

yeah... it's a shame. DRM doesn't stop piracy, it only punishes paying customers.

Fantastic electronica intro music. Thanks for exposing me to this track

Well sung Jim, well sung.
