    Review: Prince of Persia

    Can't wait! Great review. By the way: "It's a minor complaint, but the game's aesthetic is otherwise so pleasing that it's jarring to hear someone who could just as easily have voiced Nathan Drake or Master Chief standing in as the Prince of Persia." It is Nathan Drake. Same voice actor.

    Your Greatest Sleeper Hit

    The Last Express. Nobody's played it, but for my money it's one of the most innovative, rich, and intelligent games ever made.

    Jack Thompson Threatens NIU With Lawsuit

    He's jumping on this tragedy to bolster his own little crusade. That's just disgusting to me.

    The Darkness: Beause eating hearts is too much fun.

    Funny. When I think of playing Butcher Bay again, I get a little jolt of excitement. I love that game. Also, I wouldn't buy The Darkness either, but that's only because it's extraordinarily short. But what's wrong with linearity? Certain games lend themselves to a tightly-controlled story and...

    The Darkness: Beause eating hearts is too much fun.

    Actually, this is Starbreeze's second FPS game. They made the absolutely brilliant Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Honestly, I'm a huge fan of The Darkness, Butcher Bay, and Starbreeze in general, because they try so many new things with the FPS genre. They switch subgenres...

    Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (Gamecube)

    Honestly, I prefer the original. Partly because of the ludicrous new direction of the cutscenes (which, come on, you can't honestly say aren't a MASSIVE part of the MGS experience), partly because attempting to use MGS2-style controls on the Gamecube controller, which is apparently made for...

    When was the last time you cried and/or teared up during a video game?

    Most recent - the ending of ICO. Also, someone mentioned Passage - that was masterful and definitely made me tear up. The big choice in Mass Effect. You know the one. That was pretty intense.

    -snip-

    In Burger Time I once killed every enemy in the level with one falling bun. This was in a college class that was examining gaming as a medium, so this was in front of twenty-five people who from that point on considered me a hero. It was pretty epic.

    Myst Online Goes Offline

    This is a tragedy. Maybe only to a few, but for the people that did play the game, Uru was a world of unparalleled community, detail, and imagination. It's sad to see it go, without ever reaching its potential.

    does anyone care about lost?

    Lost is the best show on television. And I was one of the people who thought it looked stupid and pointless and convoluted for two years. But I gave it a chance, and by the fourth episode of the first season, it was my favorite new show. It fluctuates in quality, as do all shows, but when it's...

    I <3 Fox News

    This really saddens me. Does the average dipshit still view games as "Atari and Pac-Man and all that?" Not to mention the one woman's quip about "who's actually playing games", implying that it's still only 13 year old boys, is wholly inaccurate. Statistic from the ESA website: "The...

    Funniest Thing You've Heard In An Online Game?

    I saw this on trade chat in Orgrimmar: "Oh man, I can't wait to see One Missed Call!" "Are you serious? That movie looks like shit." "No way, man! It looks SO scary. It's gonna be awesome." "You've got to be kidding me. Are you, like, thirteen?" Pause. "No! I'm fifteen!"

    Looking for a well written story

    No, man, it's OBVIOUS we're a forum biased towards FPS, RPG, Adventure (Point-and-click as well as Text), Survival Horror, Action-Adventure, Beat-em-up, and Puzzle games, as well as many varied hybrids of the above. (And that's just based on what we actually recommended.)
