This pun deserves more love :)

Although it makes this thread sound like a broken record, I'll recommend Kerbal Space Program as well. It's very close to being finished, offers hours and hours of gameplay and most of all is enormous FUN (I use the term in the same way it's applied in Dwarf Fortress). Seriously, it really is...

As I'd rather strap the corpse of a decomposing plague rat to my PC than install Origin, I guess I'll give Titanfall a pass. Back to Planetside 2 then.

Echhh. I really wish Hollywood would stop plundering the 80's as a source of movie ideas. Especially from franchises that had effectively run themselves into the ground. Don't get me wrong - I still thoroughly enjoy the original RoboCop, it's a barrel load of violent satirical fun that is...

Are humans animals ? Frequently, I'm afraid.

Blimey. I remember that old chestnut from playing the first version. The more things change, the more they stay the same.... Being old and relatively wise, I generally avoid forums for MMOs. It sounds like it'll just be the usual stuff anyway - NC and TR complaining about overpowered lashers...

Having backed this project for quite a few bob, I'd suggest moseying over to the Kickstarter page now. We're thirteen updates in, and there is now quite a few videos and lots of concept art up. I fully agree it was not the best launch ever, but maybe this latest info will persuade you to back...

I'm in the process of upgrading my PC in order to play Planetside 2. When the original first came out it was a real blast, and if it provides me with only half the enjoyment the original did, I'll be well pleased. Tried to run it on my existing PC and the game just pointed at my set-up and...

Depends on whether we're talking 'shock' scares - sudden loud noises, unexpected foes etc - which any game can do, or overall atmosphere. Bioshock or Call of Cthulhu have the best disturbing atmospheres in my book. But you certainly don't have to be an A-list game to be tense and dramatic...

Exactly. Playing as Ken Dodd, stalking victims armed only with a tickling stick, a book of sentimental songs and a lexicon of aging one-liner jokes (all weapons upgradable in-game). I presume you could also recruit and train up Diddy Men to help you in your goal of taking over Liverpool, whilst...

My delicious homebrew IPA is going down very nicely, thank you. A cheeky 6.9% alcohol content too. Seriously, it's so incredibly easy to brew your own beer I'd recommend everyone gives it a crack. And it's immediately a great beer as you made it, of course ! :) *steps down from soapbox...

What do I sound like ? The bastard son of Stephen Fry and Tom Waits.

Hoo boy - lots of good recommendations out there already. I'll happily second Transmetropolitan, Hellboy, Sandman, Preacher, Sin City and The Boys. 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' is good too - well, to be brutally honest the first two graphic novels are by far the best of it before...

Nail hit on the head there, Ryank. I'd also add that the storylines, even though they were a major selling point, were often pretty ropey. Case in point being the Smuggler story, with often half-baked reasons conjured up to make sure you kept in with the Republic; and the episodic nature simply...

My personal advice would be to sit back and enjoy the show. It may cause a little confusion at times, but mercifully it doesn't stick exactly to the books. Why mercifully ? Because George R R Martin could have done with a much better editor. One who'd cut out the long reams of guff that tend to...
