I think everyone has done that thing in a game where they have been stuck for days on a really simple puzzle just using an item in the correct context or not having the right item or missing a certain switch or not seeing a really obvious hidden path before. Sometimes it's bad game design...

I'm voting in Double Fine, more specifically Tim Shafer. Tim is an industry legend with a reputation for making great games, as a prominent member of the games industry he has the contacts and knowledge to make games through the normal funding routes. The only reason I can see him funding...

Actually from a technical viewpoint the "rooftop view" is really telling, no fog effects, no smoke pouring out of every chimney, really simple skyboxes. As far as getting "the same" shots for comparison, it's impossible it looks like those assets are not in the game. I'm not whining about...

http://www.psmania.net/2014/10/assassins-creed-unity-bullshots-vs-in-game-graphics-comparison/ A really nice little comparison between the AC Unity teaser and promo screens and the actual in game footage. I think Ubisoft needs a reality check, I mean first more 30 fps is cinematic nonsense...

Hmmm... concise but accurate.

Civilisation ? Beyond Earth When Civ V was released long term fans of the series were up in arms. I was right at their side in complete agreement, CIV V at release was a huge step back from IV and as expected all those neat gaps were filled in with DLC content which bumped the total games cost...

I did some reviewing recently and hated it, turned me off of games and writing at the same time. Doing 2 reviews to a professional websites style guide made me hate mankind.

I'd like to the Commonwealth troops in particular the Indian Army, their War in Ethiopia against the Italians and the re-conquest of Burma would be a really interesting and rarely covered part of British and Indian History.

To justify slavery being a modifying factor you should compare the results of native African athletes with African American athletes, you see clearly that there isn't a massive divide between the two and all Africans slavery or no have characteristic strengths which are advantageous in most...

I think you need to re-examine the medical side of German science, there is one thing that has been taken from the German WW2 experiments and it's something unbelievably important for modern medicine. Forced Hypothermia, the thing that allows us to manage organ transplants and high risk open...

As Britains we have trouble accepting this but it is so true, the amount of denial and opposition to her kind of says it all. That teacher was disgusting, her attitude stank and yes she is racist, not all racism is malicious most of it is just naivety or in her case stupidity.

Most fun I have had recently was in 40+ year old Morris Minor 1000, although that was on a racetrack, so to say you can't have fun in a "basic" car is just silly, you can if it weighs nothing and has rear wheel drive. But silly and totally incorrect car analogies aside,60fps is objectively...
