They should take a look at the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series if they really want to get an idea of how to make an open, living world work from an FPS viewpoint. Sure the areas aren't huge, but it feels well and truly alive.

Allot of my friends love this show, but I really don't get it. As previous people have said, it seems to be mocking nerd culture, no friendly poking of fun, little tongue in cheek humour, but straight up "look at the freaks!" mock-o-rama. Want nerdy comedies that are actually good? Stick...

Well I was all geared up for this, but according to this handy dandy currency converter grafted haphazardly into my chest, the UK price of a £139.99 comes to an eye watering $203 American Dollars. I feel pretty disappointed right now. I hope there's an equivalent boxed edition to the digital...

The real question is where the hell are my pants?

"I'm not counting Pixar because it's CG..." Animation is the application of a series of sequential images to create the illusion of movement. Various tools and methods are used to create this illusion of movement. CGI is a tool, much like a stop motion animators puppets or a 2D animators...

We have steam sales over here in England, and game prices are often insanely cheap. The sales are probably the only reason that I own steam. But day of release prices are usually the same, or a little higher.

That's quite interesting. I must confess that I presumed that digital distribution prices, because of their nature, where the same across the board, no matter what country you lived in. I guess this signifies that once more England's pricing plans are more expensive, as I've never witnessed a...

A few people have mentioned that steam, amongst other things, is cheaper than acquiring a retail copy. I'm sorry, but that's a right load of hogwash. Steams prices, excluding sales or promotions, is far from cheap, and when considering new releases is often a couple of quid higher than buying a...

I think your missing the point that this child won't be you. He may not even like fallout, or geek culture. Case in point, my father was a hell of a sportsman, who enjoyed an eclectic mix of sports at every opportunity. I, on the other hand, become bored to tears at the mere mention of football...

I love you CDPROJEKT. You gave me a collector's edition that was actually worth a damn, and for the same price as the regular game. I barely ever buy collectors editions. Art books and trinkets appeal to me, but big lumps of junk don't. This was the first fully priced collector's edition I...

The league of fatties better be the villain for this one!

Ennio Morricone is the master of the universe when it comes to movie soundtracks. Ecstasy of gold is a classic, but for me by far his greatest piece has to be The Musical Pocket Watch from For a Few Dollars more. What a piece of music, and what a scene! Sends shivers down my spine everytime.

I bought this when it was originally released all of those years ago, and realising it existed was a complete accident. I can't remember seeing a single advert. It doesn't matter how good a game is, if no one knows about it then no one's going to buy it. The opposites true for shit games with...

I'm sure the happy couple will be distraught to learn that I'll be shitting my bones out for minimum wage during the ceremony, but I hope they have an obscenely extravagant day!

It ruins the prologue section of the game. I for one will mostly be playing this game for the story, and I don't want to know the beginning in advance of being able to play the bulk of the game.
