>> original >> WWII games Does not compute. In all seriousness, Saboteur seemed like it was going on that track. For a while it seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth, but... hey presto! Google search reveals 12/8/2009 pre-order shipping date. Of course that's not exactly...

While it is indeed magic, and indeed it is bullshit, it's the magicky bullshit of credit and debt... The States borrow money from China since China's economy is better than that of the States. This leaves China holding lotsa power, until the States have a better economy than China. At this...

Too bloody right. And let's not forget the glamorization of senseless violence to everyone who will listen in the States. More specifically, the glamorization of killing because the government tells you to. I fail to see how it's worse killing someone in a video game than being encouraged to...

Too right. I read the GI preview for that and got psyched, yet can't even find rumor of a release date or any kind of production.

Depressingly true. I love(d) Mass Effect, but different character designs and skill sets fail to distract me from the fact that I'm still saving Feros. Again.

Those aren't two totally different things at all. [/sarcasm] When I hear that someone at, say, Ubisoft enjoys a round of WoW, I'm not going to make a gigantic deal about it. It challenges expectations and is rather interesting, though, so I'm probably going to remark about it. Maybe even...

Yeah, good point. Playing Mass Effect was a pain for a while, as I'm sure GTA IV will be when I finally get my hands on it. I was referring mostly to controls rather than mindset, but you bring up a good point. In Halo you're pretty peachy taking half a clip, unlike nearly every other FPS...

I've had similar problems in the past, though they didn't go so far as getting kicked. Since I usually don't have $60 American to shell out on a game's release, I usually wait for reviews, see if the price goes down, etc. This also means that I'm six months to a year behind much of the gaming...

Fair enough, but you must admit that gaming is much more often associated with the Y chromosome.

First off, let me say right out that this is probably the among the greatest threads it has ever been my pleasure to view. Right, now that's out of the way. I personally am not fond of WWII shooters, and am among the (far too) vocal masses regretting Call of Duty's regression thereof. I do...

Seems every time Rockstar releases a game they get more infamous. At any rate, I can't help but think even Rockstar can start pushing luck at some point. Not to be a Jack Thompson here (we have enough of those already), but the company seems to eat up controversy like, well, like an...

I find myself in agreement with Zallest. As a male gamer with a decent social life, even I get sick of the aforementioned male idiocy in pre- and post- game lobbies. And while I definitely do appreciate (despite having heard of) the increasing volume of female gamers, I tend to think it...

Hm. I'm looking forward to Mirror's Edge as much as anyone, but both this bag and the yellow GameStop preorder bag are failing to convince me to either pay extra money or preorder, respectively. Even the most scintillating single-player experience, for me, is worth $40 American at best. Now...

Yes, it's recent (and with two games, no less), but seriously, what happened to Assassin's Creed? I loved the console version (and from what I hear, the DC version on the PC was just as good), but I think they may have rushed a bit too quickly to cash in on the DS, resulting in its mediocre...
