You have a point there. The Darkness may have the best engine to allow a game about Doc. Oc. Aside from that, there was a fair amount of substance to this review. Perhaps it was to make up for the problems he had with the first game. I had to agree with the review on the first one...

Sounds like the developers of Amy only make games, they don't beta test them. Can't have that now can we! ;D Yeah, I'm glad Yahtzee warned us heavily on this one. I like a lot of horror games and this sounds like it would have been a huge ball of disappointment.

It is not quite how I would interpret the game, but that is a very valid way to look at DA2. Thedis is a very messed up place and the humans are still got the better end of the stick overall. They play out a lot of injustices in the series and shove you out to experience the world in shades of...

Well, maybe there will be some action in the last film? Thanks for taking the hits we don't want to.

Yes, I am quite familiar. I am not only a fan of Wagner's "Ring of the Nibelung", I am also very fond of the "Song of the Seeress" poem from the "Elder Edda" translated by Paul B. Taylor and W. H Auden. My copy is out of "The Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces Fifth Continental Edition"...

*AFTER CREDITS SPOILERS!! WARNING!! The ending of Dragon Age 2 was really quite good. And given the trend of games these days, I can't actually remember a better one in a decade honestly. And the level of love and betrayal in the game makes you get attached to or mad at the characters in...

I like to have the option to see the world through another's eyes in a game. So I like to see it available, if it is done well. However, although gay/lesbian/bisexual are explored somewhat in games, transgender, intersex, and neuter (such as aliens that are crystalline entities, spore or bud...

I enjoyed your summary of side quests to main quest percentages by comparing them to television serials. It actually does allow a pretty clear mental picture of how the two interact. I also appreciated your points on how location of a side quest giver can alter both a person's desire to do it...

The argument on Origins was that it seemed that Fantasy could not escape the 1960's concept of dwarves, elves, and humans. I did not mind this so much. But I do understand that it seems like Sci-Fi can make more types of aliens than just greys, reptiles, and apes, so why can't Fantasy come up...

Morrowind is one I have bought twice. I had a used copy that was buggy. I bought a new one later when the Game of the Year edition came out.

Krazykidd has the right of it I believe. If people have a bad online experience it does not mean they will quit playing games. It means they will either switch to another online game to see if there is a better community or they will simply go to a single-player mode. The game experience when...

I have to disagree on your point that the thread is disrespectful. The OP attempted to step into the shoes of the other gender to see how they were treated as gamers. His experience was unpleasant and he is attempting to see if it is a common thing still. That isn't disrespectful, it is an...

Agreed. I was attracted to Dead Island BECAUSE it looked like it would be brightly colored and have a strong sense of incongruity and wrongness because of it. Done well, it can be more chilling and creepy than the done-to-death bombed out city ruins. I was also very disappointed to hear...

Wow, you HAVE been busy, Neutral Drow! You know, I did not give this game much of a look before but I have to say, your review makes it look much more intriguing. Thanks for the good review!

Maybe it will get touched on next week? Sometimes when people have received a bad shock they need time to rest and recuperate from it. Conan might have zapped poor Movie Bob that badly. Ha ha ha. Anyway, I do hope he will enlighten us a bit more about it. I am tempted to go for the monster...
