Why are you getting so upset? I'm obviously going to reference Splinter Cell: Conviction as it's the most recent example and I'd hazard a wager that's the reason others would also. I'm not wrong - it is a theme shared with Conviction so I don't know why it bothers you. Irrespective of...

Having never played Max Payne before, I imagine I'm looking at this game from a completely different angle than most. I'll definitely be buying it, Rockstar are among the select few developers that provoke a Day One purchase for the vast majority of what they release into the world - and I...

I'll be happy as long as it is a possibility to 'ghost' the entire game, with accident kills coming back in full force. I'm becoming worried about the innovations (if yanking straight from Splinter Cell: Conviction can be deemed as so) that there will be forced gunfights to ensure the player...

When Civilization V hit, I think I managed to chalk up eighty hours of game time, which bled away without much notice. This expansion seems very interesting, and I'll have to keep a keen eye trained on it's progress. In reality, if there are enough new civilizations I'll probably get...

Died with a Plasma in Devil May Cry outnumbering me. They just won't stop multiplying, and on Hard it's a pain. I'm cowering at the prospect of Dante Must Die. It didn't look too powerful, I imagine a laser beam would kill me instantly so not too bad.

Tyrion for me and position 39 on the leaderboards, I shall settle for that.

Devil May Cry of the Devil May Cry HD Collection, having recently completed The Saboteur - a very underrated game. I forgot Devil May Cry's roots, in how the first game focused mainly on survival as opposed to the style of later games - it was a little bit of a transition but managed to find...

I hope you've left him. With no exception, if he has the propensity to do it once he will do it again. No matter who you are, you deserve better than the complete lack of respect and cowardice surrounding being unfaithful. Don't let this discolour your future relationships, and only...

I played PLD on Final Fantasy XI for twelve months because I enjoyed being the centre of attention and a staple of every party. It caused a lot of annoyance because my survival was dependent on the other five (and later seventeen) knowing exactly what they were doing else I was the first to drop.

No, because using a game as an educational tool is inefficient. Any time that isn't spent directly gleaning facts is a waste of time allocated to learning. For merely piquing curiosity games are acceptable - I'm thinking Hearts of Iron and similar. Actual knowledge should then pursued...

I don't often drop a game until it's fully complete - I like having games in my collection that I know are done and dusted. I'm not just talking about obtaining all the trophies, I'm talking of having everything there is to be seen, seen. Even goes so far as a game like The Saboteur, which...

A favourite of mine is "how is this fun?" and similar variations when I've been killed yet again, or slipped out of a time requirement by an inch. Only when I'm playing on the hardest difficulty - my 'fun' playthrough on easy I remain silent.

For the core audience definitely not. This material has only been present for the last six or seven years on this level and is very fresh in comparison to other common themes drained dry by Hollywood.

I just watched an episode of House where the storyline followed a patient who involuntary spoke everything he thought. Season five, The Social Contract if you're interested. We build social courtesies for a reason, people don't want to hear that you think they look fat. They don't want...

The consumers, forgetting this is, always has been and always will an industry driven by profit and the growth of profit. The disillusionment that any company is a friend or anything other than an entity by something more than the intake of money. If a company appears to be handling your...
