You do realize that to most business execs that dropping DRM in any way, shape, or form is not considered a sustainable business practice? DRM is more or less the brother/cousin to the RIAA's attempts at stopping the pirating of music, and they will do anything they can, including alienating...

While I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, on both the splitting of SCII and the possible monetization of certain factors of Battle.net, which may or may not be happening (as there is evidence pointing to either), I feel that since the merger there has been a trend towards raising...

I'm a rather large fan of the RA and by extension C&C series, but I have no love for EA or DRM. The evil that is known as SecuRom is what stopped me from getting Spore and is what will keep me from getting RA3, besides the fact that as being EA they will probably mess up and turn this game into...

Pretty much anything that is brought over by Atlus is worth the full price. They're pretty much the reason I plan on getting a PS3 in the near future.

I never found the 360 version to be as bad as the rest of you make it out to be, sure it doesn't hold a candle to the PC version but I could at least get through it unlike Oblivion.

Soul Caliber is pretty much the only fighting game that I enjoy and while including Yoda/Vader/Vader's Secret Apprentice seems like a shameless plug in a sad attempt at marketing, however if they were to include cameos by characters that would actually make sense (or you know I just want in)...

JRPGs own my video game library. Honestly they make up like three quarters of all the games I have, and while some are utter turds others are like the second coming of Jesus to me. Second is usually action games with only a few shooters finding a place in my library.

I tend to pick classes based on moods, such as: If I'm pissed I pick something with highly destructive properties, if I'm more neutral then I go with something that I believe takes more skill, usually something relatively stealthy. Thing is those are usually the only two moods I'm in when I'm...

The one MMO that will always bring me back is FFXI. I tried WoW but the high end there contained all of the drama with none of the rewards and the art style just hurt my eyes once you made it to Outlands. Gave EVE a try but just didn't find it my cup of tea and am planing on trying Age of...

While that is a good theory I doubt that is what is really going on, because you have to remember this is Cliffy B. and Epic that we are talking about, and neither have ever come up with a good or original story and for them to actually give even two thoughts to the plot would amaze me.

While I do like both styles of RPGs I find myself drawn more to JRPGs as I prefer the deeper stories and settings they tend to offer while the character customization tends to draw me to the WRPGs but not nearly as much. Now this may be biased as the very first game I ever played was the...

I'd be the male love interest who in the name of all that is cliched either get killed half way through the story or, and by or I mean most definitely, be taken hostage/prisoner by the big bad of the game and be converted to the side of evil to give the Heroine a choice between either killing me...

I like my current skill level in most multiplayer games I partake in, I may not be the best thing since the internet out there but I almost always end with a positive spread in my Kill to Death ratio. I find however that my best matches and the ones which I found to be among my funnest game...

Honestly I don't think that X and X-2 were all that bad, sure they weren't some of the better games but you can't make constantly platinum level games on a constant basis. Honestly I think the drop in quality started with FFVII, because at that point Square started to target a demographic...

The way I see it is that the common 'fantasy' setting is already thought out and one generally knows what you need to include in order to have a successful 'fantasy' setting. It is similar to EA's sports games, they have the groundwork already built for them so all they have to do is add the...
