You mean Goldfields? I had that and loved it, although I remember it being much easier than what I hear of Oregon Trail. I think I wound up being essentially the best at all possible professions. As for edutainment purposes, no, we never played Oregon Trail. The similar age bracket at...

Speaking of Sam and Max, I'm gonna go with the original LucasArts game. The "I can't pick that up!" comment chain alone left me almost on the floor. Ali Hillis is good in everything I've heard her in (Liara in Mass Effect, Palutena in Kid Icarus and Smash Bros.) Also, for my joke answer...

The first dedicated videogame? That would be Wavy Navy for the Apple ][c. Damn I'm old.

Personally, I'm fine with social commentary in the gaming industry, but a review doesn't leave enough space for something in-depth, and unless it's particularly egregious shouldn't be the focus of a review of a game that has redeeming features in actual game quality - especially in an industry...

Neronium pretty much covered it for mine. Jet Set Radio, the Sonic Adventures, the Powerstones and the Crazy Taxis were all incredible, and the Rayman 2 port was by far the best console port. Will back up Redworld on Fur Fighters as well - especially as it has splitscreen multiplayer. Something...

Your friends/lovers/relatives/Twitter followers/pet cat made this game, and now you're reviewing it? Fine. Review it anyway. But tell us. You're being paid to like this game? Fine. Like it, and get paid. But tell us. You don't like that this game has ? Fine. But a) tell us, and b) judge it...

Oh, it was.

This is in no way my first post on an Escapist forum game.

Total Annihilation for real-time, Civ V (vanilla) or Advance Wars (the first three) for turn-based.

Ubi for now, but only because they appear to be actively trying to get off-side with literally every developer in France.

Hmm. On the one hand, Portal 2 had less moments where I knew what I was supposed to do but had difficulty actually doing it, was longer and funnier, and had some creative uses of new concepts. On the other, Portal 1 was this amazing, compact, unexpected little burst of originality that had...

Barbecue sauce and chicken go on a pizza with pineapple. And mushroom. Mmmmaybe onions. I never did get what is objectionable about pineapple on pizza.

Besides my array of semi-humorous t-shirts, I tend to wear pretty much the same thing every day anyway. It'd probably be more noticeable to people around me if I didn't wear the same outfit every day.

Apparently the idea was that Sonic Team were going to continue on and make their own actual Sonic game while the licensed game was pushed out by Big Red. A real shame as this licensed trash will colour the views of any potential game they now release. I was holding out hope that they would...

I wish I could say I was surprised by this, but in the end, it's a licensed platformer. That it happens to feature their mascot apparently does not alter the approach they took to the game, and this does sadden me.
