    Poll: Arming the UK Police

    We'd manage it in the same way you would; with a specialised rifle team. As many have said above me, you arm the police, you end up arming the criminals, which just leads to more fatal violence. I'm all for a better equipped police force, though. Tazers, and maybe even beanbag shotguns would...

    Valve Says "Hang In There" For Half-Life 2: Episode 3

    Yes, you are the only person :P. For me, source is the only truly seamless engine I've ever played on. I think it would be awesome if Valve had kept Episode 3 production under wraps the whole time, and then one day BAM, huge full Steam store page spread and internet explosion.. Completley not...

    The undefeated video game Boss

    Branka in Dragon Age Origins. Sided with the Golem. Thought my party was strong enough to take on anything after finding the rest of the game easy. Was wrong.

    Poll: Fallout 3: Energy weapons or Small Guns?

    Small guns are somewhat more wholesome I find. I like a bit of hard recoil from my weapons. I did enjoy a few enegry weapons, particularly the Metal Blaster, but I remember in Mothership Zeta I refused to use any enegry weapons on principle that TECH DOESN'T PAY.

    Poll: Are You A Console, Or Computer Gamer?

    PC gaming master race. I just enjoy the generally lower cost of games, the higher potential for graphics and scope, the free updates and the ease of aquisition of games. I also like clicking on peoples heads to execute a perfect headshot. Hey, if I want a bigger challenge I'll use the USB 360...

    What is your favourite gaming controller?

    My favourite controller nowdays is the 360 pad. Connected up to my PC of course, I'm one of the master race.. ;) Though I feel the need for agility of a controller against the accuracy of a mouse and keyboard sometimes. I love the Gameboys Colour too. It's still a controller! It just happens...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic is EA's Most Expensive Project in History

    Perfectly as I can? ;) I quote Muphrys law! EA have set themselves quite a challenge it seems, they couldn't have picked a harder market to crack. I wonder if the subscription fees are going to be anything like WoW? I don't think you could have much of a chance with a smaller budget. WAR was...

    Poll: Half Life 2 Now Has Achievements - will you replay?

    I was a right dumbass a couple of months ago. I'd heard about the 'one free bullet' achievement, but not about how the PC only has achievements for Episode Two. So, I played through the whole game with such boundaries in place, and got a nasty shock when I completed it.. I want my achievement...

    What Country Do You Want To See In a Fallout Game?

    I don't think a post apocalyptic jungle looks like anything.. i.e. All the trees die. >.<

    What Country Do You Want To See In a Fallout Game?

    Definatley UK. Specifically London and the surrounding countryside. It would give such a different feel to the previous Fallouts.

    Poll: Is It Just Me Or Is The New Steam Bad?

    I think it's just you! It's more user friendly, as everyone is saying. Not that the older version wasn't, this versions format is just so pretty. It seems to link things together more effectivley too, such as the 'other friends that play this game' feature. No more trawling through other...

    Zero Punctuation: Final Fantasy XIII

    LOL, you said it. I haven't played FFXIII yet, but from what I'm hearing I shouldn't bother. I loved III and VI, but I stopped playing at X. I got almost all of the way through until the game taught me that unless I 'ground' more, then I wasn't getting any further. They're just far too...

    Fallout 3

    You're about to give away weeks of your life to this game. And you're going to love every miniute of it. Solve the puzzle in The Museum of Technology (The Vault should help you find what I'm on about. You get an amazing assault rifle as a result of it.

    Poll: How often do you read a book?

    Once a week. I'm a great historical fiction fan myself, writers like Bernard Cornwell or Conn Iggulden. I'm also reading Stephen King's 'The Stand' at the moment, which I can't get enough of. I think books are on the level with games with which you connect to the characters, unlike most...

    Do you ever hide that you're a gamer?

    Nahh. Gaming is cool nowdays! What with all the gritty storylines and mature themes as well as all the colourful JRPG's and such, theres going to be somthing that appeals to everyone. I don't really see the point of hiding something thats essentially part of your personality. Anyway, I'm not...
