Is it condescending? I guess. "A generation ahead" is misleading I agree, but in this context it just mean newer, not faster. Absolutely nowhere did it say anything about him claiming consoles were faster than high-end PCs, and yet that's what everyone seems intent on burning this guy at the...

Man, first I read the article and was like what the hell? Then I actually read the article. Glad to see the escapist isn't above the occasional pandering and sensationalism.

You know what makes a good critic, at least in my opinion? Consistency. It's ok to go against the mainstream, and being biased against some types of movies or tropes. It's great to have one or two critics that you can look to who seem to share the same gripes as you do, and whose opinions you...

It's not a bad movie by any stretch, but it is filled with so many little annoyances that I never fully could enjoy any one part, and it just ended up bland to mildly amusing. Massive plotholes, a pointless twist just for the sake of having a twist, a weak villain, lack of consistency. The...

Wait, Iron Man 3 is getting good reviews? Really? There are lots of little things that were off about that movie, but the horribly weak villain put me off entirely. I was excited at first, since I had heard Mandarin was one of the better Iron Man villains, but after this I am just gonna...

I don't really think this counts, since I don't remember it being much of a game, more a tech demo or some project or something I got off a demo cd a long time ago, but anyways I'll give it a shot since it has been driving me mad for years. I remember it was in first person, and you could walk...

Now, I have nothing against this game existing, but it should not be called Crysis 3! Crysis 1 to 2 was a major change in engine, enemies, setting etc. This is just an expansion pack. What I am getting at is that this is Crysis 2: Warhead, not Crysis 3.

It's a little late for April fools isn't it? I mean, right? Who is the target audience of an Agricultural Driving Simulator anyway?

How can a single game look so good, and so horribly bad at the same time? I want to play this cause it looks like some awesome GoW style action, and yet I cringed through most of this trailer. Just horrible. No wait, horribly cool. No, now it's just horrible again. :(

Ok, seriously this article can't possibly be expected to be taken seriously. These games are so completely different that it seems foolish to even compare them. When you boil down to it, one is a story-driven rpg and the other is an action adventure game. Anyway, troll article aside, I will...

So I was planning on picking up this much hyped sequel tomorrow, which launched yesterday in Japan, when I stumbled upon a message on the official homepage saying that the Japanese launch of the game has a few serious errors. Apparently users playing the game while logged in to the Playstation...

Ok, nice try Square, but I am not falling for this trick again. I got burned badly enough with FFXIII. And whats with the totally bland main characters anyway? I can't believe I am saying this, but I would rather be playing as the new Hope than that walking cardboard cutout Noel.

Oh crap. I've been slicing through legions of zombies with an electrified katana. Thats gonna hurt, but only for a little while.

Yay, another Nigel episode. I love these things so much! Also, I just had to pause to go find out what the hell Phlogiston is. Tangential learning FTW!

My reaction generally depends on whether or not the game implements a morality system. If it is present, I will usually play the most evil jerk I can imagine. It's kinda sad that this kind of thing is still present in games, and it dilutes the emotional connection by literally keeping score...
