Which is? Don't leave us "socially-deprived" hanging.

You equate a space simulation to real life? And ask me whats wrong with playing for fun. Some people like football, some like swimming, others like checkers. What is your point really? I was criticizing the author of an article that is supposed to somehow be informational in a tongue and...

Clearly Yahtzee doesn't like MMOs, so he is qualified to rate EVE as one how? Sounds like we have another pubescent individual with attention deficit disorder getting a job at a semi informational and sometimes funny online gamers news forum wishing he really was working for a legitimate...

I don't get your response. Game replay equates to just one more run thru of the game? Sure you said "at least" but that implies to me that you are just as likely not to and if you do, a third run thru is out of the question. Yes, the game has multiplayer support, its nice but when 90%(just...

My advice to you would be to keep it as non-linear as possible. Replay-ablility, as the same character or different character can make a game incredibly more interesting. If you have to create a story driven game, try and emulate a game like Baldur's Gate I or II. These were both story driven...

I'm sure you will be saying that in 6 months too. :p

Halo3, like Bioshock are just more in a long line of games that sit on the shelf after 12-36 hours of gameplay, just that they have more current graphics. Sad really. Gone are the days of games that had replay-ability. Now the only games that have any staying power are online massive...

Laws are being written and have been enacted, that hold parents responsible for alcohol use by their children. A similar responsiblity lies with games and the rating system. It is not only the parents "rightful place to make choices for their own children". It is their duty. If we hold parents...

I disagree Malygris. Phil is part of the problem, as is anyone who uses inflammatory subjects for their own personal agendas, whether that be for ratings, notariety, political gain, or just plain old vindictiveness. Gullible, stupid people will always exist. Loathing them gets you nowhere. I...

As a graphic designer/gamer. I have to say, I'm dissappointed with the new site layout. Additionally, I miss the magazine format and the pdf files. Crosslinking and all that "jazz" never really appealed to me as I don't come to this site for research, I come to be informed and semi-entertained...

Just like the political saying "Its the economy stupid". In the gaming world, "Its the game stupid". Consoles have very little to do with it. Oh the new ones are always "shiny", but the luster wears off quickly if the game selection blows. The best games of all time have always been those with...

I liked Tie Fighter, Homeworld, Freespace, Wing Commander etc. They were all great games, but when you made it to the end, you were just done. Oh I tried going back and doing it all again, and sometimes I made it thru again without getting bored. But in the end they are all one trick ponies...

Now thats a shame. Its a really good game.
