    Headset for games with future expansion possibilities

    Okay, I'm turning to you guys for advice on the gaming headset side of things. I'm looking to upgrade from a desktop Logitech mic that keeps flopping over and thus can't really be used and from my desktop speaker set. Ideally, I'd like a headset with a built in microphone as part of my 'planned...

    Review of Gaikai, with discussion

    Most all of you are already familiar with Amazon, best Buy, Gamestop, and Steam. You get your games in physical form from one of those big retailers, and if you buy digital downloads, you most likely are using Steam. Well, now there is a new option, in the form of Gaikai. What is it? Well...

    Assassin's Creed Devs Don't Hate the British

    Of all the wars to choose from, and they choose the War for American Independence? How about a cool war, like the Spanish-American War? After all, that war never technically ended. Okay, that could actually be cool, now that I think about it.

    Jimquisition: GUNS GUNS GUNS GUNS GUNS GUNS GUNS

    I wonder...are people just only wanting modern FPS games, so the companies are too Adria to make much else, or do the companies just go with it because they think that is what everyone wants? I go online and all I hear about is CoD or Battlefield in the games that are unique and different...

    Zero Punctuation: Sniper Elite V2

    Maybe he might prefer that new Red Orchestra WWII game in Stalingrad. Shoot nazis or Russians, drive tanks, bleed to death from a bullet fired by a sniper you never spotted, and your teammates couldn't show you, because they are all dead too. On second thought...

    Why the hate?

    Mass Effect one had an emphasis on cover based shooting. Besides, the slimming down in ME2 was kinda useful. Seriously, you could specialize in pistols, sniper rifles, shotguns, and assault rifles. The thing is, each of those is a weapon for a specific situation, and specializing in one screws...

    Why the hate?

    Well, while I dislike paying extra for what is already on the disc, I can understand it when it is to do things like try and get something from the sale of a used game. And you would expect a collector edition to include bonus content. If I had bought a collector edition, I would have liked to...

    Why the hate?

    Extra Creditz covered the day 1 DLC, and I can say it is one of their few things that I agree with. If you do have a point where the dev team is unable to work on the game, such as it being sent for testing on the various platforms and certification that it works and meets the standards, them...

    Why the hate?

    That explains why I have not had a problem-I'm being too much of an idiot to notice a problem :)

    Why the hate?

    I have been seeing this a lot lately, so I need to ask: why is there all the hate towards EA? They may not be the greatest company, and like every company that makes games, I could always nitpick about stuff. But I have a bunch of newer games and (somewhere) I have some games from my childhood...

    Poll: What Makes a Game Art?

    I don't know. Perhaps a mix of all of those? I would consider Ico and Shadow of the Colossus art games. And yet, they are not anything like games that try to be art. Those games are interesting and fun to play. The controls aren't designed by a lunatic, and everything works nicely.

    Poll: Which is more humiliating?

    I find the kid more annoying than humiliating. Older people I am usually happy to see in games. The older they are, the better an indicator that, well, most anyone at all can enjoy games. But the kids? Most every one I run into is a foul-mouthed racist, homophobic 7-12 year old with a voice too...

    Games you couldn't understand the hype over?

    Yeah, I found that as well. they tried to be different with something that really didn't make a difference, but they got a lot of hard-core fans who will defend it to the death. Nicely enough, most gamers on, well, game sites and not VN sites seem to be rational about this, but man, you should...

    Games you couldn't understand the hype over?

    well, to start with, the name is actually offensive. As in, katawa is a word you can't actually say on tv or radio in Japan. While it loosely translates to imperfect girls, a more accurate translation is 'gimp chicks.' Another thing is it is supposed to treat the girls and their respective...

    Games you couldn't understand the hype over?

    Katawa Shoujo. Played it, found it badly written, inconsistent, and actually pretty offensive.
