Al Tair suggesting he thought the earth is flat in Assassin's Creed 2. :c The game is as a whole pretty concerned with historical accuracy, so it was a shame to see that common misconception trotted out again (for those who don't know, everyone who mattered in the middle ages correctly...

Is this ACTUALLY true? People have been saying that developers sacrifice story and gameplay for the sake of graphics for years, but I haven't seen any evidence in support of the idea. It just seems to be people going for graphics whores as the easy scapegoat because they happen to be annoying...

This isn't about open worlds. This is about moment-to-moment gameplay. Half Life is an old game that is utterly linear with no open world, but still a less directed experience than, say, Call of Duty 4, in which practically every single thing you do involves a scripted sequence.

I feel like I've been shielded from this to a very large degree because I don't have the money to buy all that many current gen games. It's like a couple of years ago when the big thing everyone was complaining about was quicktime events. I'd never even come across one in a game and couldn't...

Has Yahtzee not heard of Zombie Master [http://www.zombiemaster.org/]? I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up yet. A team of human players play the game as an FPS, and one player, the "Zombie Master" plays it as an RTS, commanding a horde of zombies against them. I've actually never played...

I found that read like Discworld without any of the life or wit. I liked Fog Juice alot better, surprisingly.

Yeah, when he mentioned the third and fourth players were two Toads the first thought that came to my head was "What? What? Is it really possible for an entire dev team to be that uncreative?" I can brainstorm for thirty seconds and come up with some cooler ideas than just slapping on two...

Man, I thought the winner might be something at least slightly creative and interesting. It's well-made and runs really smoothly, but I'm not having any fun, and more importantly it just really surprises me that the winner to this is you running around in a single room dodging infinitely...

I like the idea of mixing Guitar Hero with more standard gameplay. I really think (and this is most of the reason why Brutal Legend turned me off from the start) that a fantasy world would be a bit tacky, but I'd love to play something kind of like this where you start out in London in the...

I deal with the issue by reminding people that "good" and "bad" have no concrete meaning and basically just mean "desirable" and "undesirable". So basically my position is that you can call music talented/talentless, complex/simplistic, original/generic, sincere/hypocritical, whatever you...

Do you even know what game you're talking about here? Scribblenauts lets you fucking type in any of ten thousand plus nouns and summon them instantly. That's the kind of thing all gamers dream about (and that most expected would remain firmly within their dreams). Even if it is broken to hell...
