    Zero Punctuation: Mortal Kombat X - Test Your Might

    I think he was complaining *because he's a critic.* I think that's what I like most about Yahtzee. Even if he enjoys a title overall, he's going to criticize. I think he fundamentally still understands that glorifying a great game is failing to criticize it.

    Gen Con Unhappy with Indiana Governor over SB 101 - Update

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" Doesn't this mean exactly what you say it doesn't? It's respecting Christianity, no? This is in the establishment clause, which, IS in the Constitution. I think this has...

    Dying Light Review - Dead Island With Parkour

    I have to agree with most of the commenters.. I'm also surprised about the complaints about the parkour controls. I find it to be quite fluid, very dynamic, and very simple to control, without feeling like it's simply a QTE, and pays more attention to your INtention, as opposed to your...

    Can anyone recommend a decent book series?

    Have you read the NightWatch/DayWatch/TwilightWatch series of titles? They are originally written in Russian, but the English translations are quite good, and the films are also respectable (done by the director of quite a few large blockbuster American titles). I can't really recommend...

    We Really, Really Don't Need New Consoles

    I truly don't mean to sound rude, but this complaint is not relevant. Why? I would fall back on my old analogy: "Your PC is like your home. Keep it clean, tidy, and you're unlikely to have any trouble finding anything. Occasionally, some things in your home will need maintenance and may...

    BioShock Infinite Review: A Head in the Clouds

    ... or worse, won't give you the option to even participate in said racism, if you're ever-so-evil and willing to do such a horrific thing... ... oh, wait... ....... <OK, I won't spoil it, after all>... Clearly, you are the very textbook definition of prejudice in regards to your opinion...

    Would Tomb Raider's story still be considered good if the main character was male? [Spoilers]

    'Gameplay coming second to story' - please see "The Walking Dead" QTEs is not 'gameplay' or strategy. I'll tell you though - the STORY in that one... I don't think I've ever been 'scared' to choose a QTE outcome, or brought to serious teary-eyed emotion via empathy ever in a game before "TWD"

    Would Tomb Raider's story still be considered good if the main character was male? [Spoilers]

    I really think all these opinions are in the same vein of players who 'skip' all the journals or don't really try to find all the backstory elements scattered around. Sure, it's not top-notch writing or character development, but it *is* there. At least, more than most of her series has been...

    Would Tomb Raider's story still be considered good if the main character was male? [Spoilers]

    Did we play the same game? I was perplexed at this, then (being objective) figured I should think about why I was confused. Yep. I was quickly able to come up with four or five different scenarios where I "used the environment" where it wasn't painfully obvious you could do so in each case...

    Games you like that are "uncool" to like.

    "Too Human" distributor was forced to recall all details about the title as a result of an Unreal engine dispute. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Knights#Silicon_Knights_v._Epic_Games This may have been addressed already by someone else, so sorry if it's on the latter 3 pages at all.

    Games you want to get into but can't

    Tip: Look up "what to invest in first," and consider playing on "Easy" for your first play-through. Once you get comfortable with the 'focused' nature of it, even a turn-based strategy game can hook you (I *HATE* turn-based top-down games as a rule). I was impressed once I finished it. It...

    Good movies that depress you

    OMG. "Red, White, and Blue" Borderline 'gore-porn,' and VERY disturbing. There were SEVERAL scenes I almost could not watch. It's on Netflix I think. Check it out, if you've got the stomach and patience. Pay attention to the story. It gets important to focus on the details as their...

    Good movies that depress you

    Didn't that also happen to be Natalie Portman? Back on-topic: "Stay," which was directed by the guy who did "Monster's Ball" and one of the "Bond" films - I think the first with Daniel Craig? "Stay" never fails to surprise me every time I watch it.. which has to be (no exaggeration here)...

    Small things you love about games you like.

    The BEST thing about the entire Dead Space franchise (.. I think this has been in place since 1, at least....) is the fact that there's never (EVER) any 'loading' screens or transitions that are apparent. I'm just Isaac... Sure, I may be in an elevator for 10 seconds, or, flying a shuttle...

    Dead Space 3 Dev: The Last Thing We Think About is Money

    Correction: EA doesn't believe in STEAM. No? I mean.. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen an EA title readily-available-at-launch since Origins. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I *did* check for DS3 on Steam.
