    WoW Gets Real Money Trading, End Times Ensue

    In all the posts of all the forums i've read. Not once have I seen anyone explain to me why this is worse than PLEX in Eve. Eve being a game that is said to have a great and vibrant economy.

    WoW Gets Real Money Trading, End Times Ensue

    THE SKY IS FALLING! Or, not. Blizzard is basically implementing a way for players to buy an item with a high in-game value for real world money. This will likely create a safer and more attractive way for those who might consider buying gold. http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=PLEX...

    This was what I was about to say. Now I don't have to.

    Poll: It's really time to stop supporting Blizzard

    So they cheated, against the EULA, and got banned? Good. If they wanted to 'customise' their experience there is a map editor. If they just wanted to win, Blizzard has supplied cheat codes. If, however, they wanted to gain achievements without any challenge... then I guess some folks felt...

    No Haters: If you love Halo so much tell me this. . .

    I played Halo 1-3 and they were alright. I had some good fun playing the campaign co-op and a bit of online play here and there. I've moved on though, FPS is nice and all but after a while online just feels like a grind to me. People really need to stop caring about previous Halo titles...

    Zero Punctuation: Viewer's Choice: Duke Nukem Forever

    So does this mean that Yahtzee is not in fact a successful games critic or reviewer but instead comedian and satirist? Hmm, methinks he is having his cake and eating it because he is both.

    Best opening sequence.

    For me it has to be MechCommander: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smq8Oe5CFE8 It's got some action, shows you what the game is about and even teaches you how to take down enemies when seriously outmatched! Don't think MechWarrior, find out.

    SC2 lives off nostalgia?

    Yeah, well Pawns are getting a charge and AoE move so it'll all blance out so long as you rush. Also, At the end of the day one decision determines whether or not you win at all games. Sometimes the decision to play is enough.

    SC2 lives off nostalgia?

    You are right ofcourse. You just have to discount the excellent game balance, amazing multiplayer ranking and matchmaking, pro gaming potential, insanely good campaign design, incredibly powerful map editor and... well... let's just say production values the likes of which most big studioes...

    Yahtzee-Do you take him seriously?

    If you want reasons to not buy or play a game he's great for that. As a person i've a measure of respect for him since he's managed to create himself some internet fame, publish a book and open up a gaming bar so that's all good. As for 'Zero Punctuation' you can't take it seriously. It's fun...

    Games that shaped/matured you as a gamer

    Warcraft: Orcs and Humans got me into gaming. Baldur's Gate made me appreciate complex RPG's. Might and Magic VIII taught me to never give up. Mechcommander taught me about online clans. Age of Empires 2 let me know how fun custom games can be. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 let me appreciate...

    Best Single Player PC Game

    Portal is a fantastic game that I loved. But you can only play it for the first time once, after that it really loses its charm through each play. I would reccomend Knights of the Old Republic/Mass Effect/Jade Empire/Dragon Age because they're excellent RPG's and have decent replayability but...
