It's Joss Whedon going back to TV. It could be a Damage Control or Re Gex series, and I would still watch every episode.

Honestly, we'd need to try every dirty trick in the book to survive an alien invasion. The military would know this, and given the chaos and bloodshed of a full-scale alien attack, there'd be nothing to stop them from breaking every rule they needed to. You wouldn't WANT to stop them from...

I was just about to post [http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacewarintro.php]... Then I see that someone else already has. Oh well. But yeah, everything that site says. No stealth, complicated balance of heat management and firepower, very decisive battles, etc, etc.

It's a game with many massive problems, most of which relate to the shooting/stealth mechanics, and the story is not without issues. But the graphics, art/level design and the little touches like the gas mask combined to make one of the most atmospheric and immersive FPSs I've ever played, and...

I don't honestly believe Americans (on average) are much more arrogant, uninformed or self-deluded about their country than anyone else. Australians, Brits and the Japanese can all be pretty obnoxious too, and that's just in my personal experience. But unlike everyone else, the US is so...

This. The humans are far more sympathetic and reasonable than they realistically would be, even without knowing any of the backstory (the Pandora mining operation is absolutely critical to maintaining Earth's survival). The Na'vi are just as (if not more) racist, and do everything they can to...

Ordinarily I would say, "for all its faults, Bloodlines is a 10/10 game." But it doesn't even have that many faults. Get it.

Racism/sexism/whatever still exists in Marvel - it's just overshadowed by the more massive (and reasonable) prejudices afforded mutants/other superheroes. On the Marvel/DC thing... Marvel attempts, mostly, to integrate the idea of superheroes with 'realistic' governments/corporations/culture...

Gamers do. It's called piracy. Shockingly, publishers don't like it. But there isn't another option, beyond 'not playing games'.

Homefront. It's just CRAZY how poor that game was.

For all that we joke, Australian cities are no worse than European or American ones. I, of course, live in suburbia, where my 70-year-old grandmother has to kill pythons with a shovel. I have thankfully avoided the outback.

I oppose gay marriage, abortion, the death penalty, war in general, copyright laws and lengthy prison sentences. I support marijuana legalization, state-funded healthcare and increased funding to defense and space programs. Yeah, it looks like I get my opinions from playing with a political...

It's depressing how angry this ad makes me.

The most helpless first. Children, pregnant women, the elderly, disabled. Of course, that is a purely moral viewpoint, without any logical consideration - all Kant, no JSM.

This is precisely why Crysis 2 was the biggest disappointment of 2011 - it took one of the most dynamic, polished and multi-faceted shooters since Half-Life 2 and turned it into a very pretty COD-clone. Okay, maybe that's a bit harsh, but the freedom, immersion and Predator-style guerrilla...
