    20-hour games are "short"?

    I base my xbox game purchases based on the idea that 60 bucks is a lot of money and I cant go around throwing money away on a game Ill finish in one night and never play again. Ive noticed that all of these "games are NOT too short!" threads usually state that some people have jobs and lifes etc...

    Criticize Your All Time Favorite Game...HARSHLY

    Shadow of the colossus is so fucking boring, most of the time all you do is ride the horse around and theres literally nothing else to do but look at the scenery. One of the first things I noticed about Dark souls is how awkward it is. Lets not even delve into the atrocious camera controls. I...

    Terrible design choices in otherwise excellent games?

    Its been a very long time but I remember how the sly cooper games had a ton of cool gadgets and stealth techniques but it forced you to gradually unlock them during gameplay so that you only get to use each one a handful of times before the game is over.

    Poll: Have you ever bought a console for one game?

    the title reminded me of something I had almost forgotten. I bought an Xbox and a copy of Halo back when it was new, since everyone seemed to agree it was the best thing since sliced bread. I had never been so underwhelmed by any console Ive owned, and Ive owned many. It looked like a hunk of...

    Game(s) of the Year 2012?

    Well judging from previous years its definitely going to be whichever one isnt all that great but sells lots of units and has a ton of hype so Im guessing Mass Effect3. As for my choices, unless all nude girl wrestling simulator 2012 comes out in the next few days, Im voting Xcom.

    A good FPS

    Personally, i really enjoyed Doom3 in spite of the critical response on forums like this one. It had almost everything I expected from a doom sequel minus hordes and hordes of enemies all at once, most encounters were 3 on 1 max.

    Xcom tips, tricks and advice

    Ill admit I was feeling mighty superior having suffered unacceptable losses in two consecutive games following the engineer rush strategy and then having massive success with an alternate route. So superior that I joined two forums to pat myself on the back publicly. That said, I havent yet...

    Xcom tips, tricks and advice

    I jokingly referred to you as a noob once and youve been mad ever since. I joined this site because I wanted to talk about xcom, considering you are one of the few people talking about it, its no wonder weve crossed paths more than once. When I said it only worked for me on normal, I meant what...

    A Kotaku Article on WiiU's BLOPS II Reviews:

    "Its crap" says a bunch of people who never played it on the new Wii. I have no idea, maybe those guys are right. Ill refrain from casting judgements until I buy a Wii U and play a game I have no interest in no matter the platform which will be approximately half past never.

    Xcom tips, tricks and advice

    Talking shit? Im actually just posting an alternate strategy, I mean no offense when they dont line up 100% with yours. And I did read your post, its not exactly a completely unheard of strategy, I tried it myself several times and it only works on normal difficulty. You discourage people...

    Valve, they are my favorite game developer for many reasons the least of which not being the impeccable quality of their games.

    Minecraft Runs on Computers Great and (Very) Small

    Weird considering that after 20 minutes of minecraft my Crysis 2 capable laptop gets hot enough to fry eggs.

    Xcom tips, tricks and advice

    Oh and thermo-generators are a WASTE. Never plan your strategy around them. You will want to build a 2x2 block of normal old power generators gradually starting from the right side of the access lift on the top level. Plenty of power to cover every important facility you need unless you are...

    Xcom tips, tricks and advice

    I have to disagree with the idea that bloatedguppy's tips are the "ultimate". Im skeptical because he assumes you will lose 2 or 3 countries before you take the alien base mission, that engineer rewards take precedence over panic levels and that continent bonuses and alien interrogations are...
