The more "gamestop only" content they put into games, the more I shun the company. If I need to buy a game that isn't on Steam, I'll go to Best Buy.

Also one more thing to point out, one of my friends bought the PS3 version and haggled with the guy at gamestop to get the CE version of the strat guide, there's more achievements on the PC version than there are on the consoles. Listed out 1 achievement per line on a page, the console list...

1) Lord of the Rings Online 2) Dungeons and Dragons Online 3) WoW (distant third, would only go back if game makers keep releasing junk and the above 2 shut down completely. Though SW:TOR looks like it might have some potential)

a) No, none of the console versions have this, from what I read, they reserve this only for the PC due to the mouse/keyboard combo for control b) No idea, haven't played Dark Alliance, but if you mean close up 3rd person aspect on the selected toon, yes, this is how the console version will play.

I got the PC, mainly due to the lack of a console that would run the game (read: 360 or PS3), but after reading some news, I'm glad I only have that option, with the ability to pump the texture res higher than consoles and the Baldur's Gate style camera (that alone would sway the decision for...

For MMOs, it depends on what you are doing. Straight soloing and grinding, any class that isn't DPS is harder to grind with. For grouping I'd say pure DPS classes, especially those designed as glass cannons. Pull hate at the wrong time and you'll wipe the raid.

So many awesome games shown in this thread. The game I continually have the urge to return to is Homeworld/

In RPGs, starging your quest out in jail or a bar (though it did work for Bard's Tale). FPS: Zombies... Plot: Your boss ends up really being the bad guy in the end, and other mindless "plot twists" that really only serve to add a couple extra levels.

My current disappointments are RA3 and Oblivion, but the worst game I can remember purchasing was Myth III. Didn't do my research and thought it was more like a base building RTS, I think I played it 2-3 times then forgot about it.

"The Rig" is my current machine. I went through a sad phase where my PCs had names from female anime characters from series I was watching. I'm glad that's over, I think getting married helped with that.

I'd have a couple less games to play when my MMOs are down for maintenance, patches, and/or other assorted hardware/networking issues.

LOTRO Far Cry Far Cry 2 Doom III (reinstalled to see why I never finished it) Morrowind Oblivion Spore Yeah, I'm all over the place with the games I play, but most are just used for breaks while finishing off my graduate paper.

Half-Life, the OG. Nothing has matched the experience of going through that game.

I'll place blame on this situation squarely on the parents and the sister in charge of watching him. While you don't need to hover over them, they shouldn't be allowed to leave the apartment when nobody is watching. And certainty when the parents are home, his video game system shouldn't be...

While I agree that games now are more about showing off technology, rather than making game play enjoyable and memorable, I do not agree that the graphics card industry is to blame. I blame the over saturation of the gaming industry, where developers are a dime a dozen, all spewing out mediocre...
