    Valve, Blizzard Want Single Online Platform for Consoles

    If Valve and Blizzard teamed up, I would never see my friends or wallet again.

    You now have a Army of the last thing you killed in a videogame.

    Right behind you. If it were Magic instead, I'd have an army of Myr Battlespheres.

    You now have a Army of the last thing you killed in a videogame.

    I was playing Marvel vs Capcom 3 just a bit ago, and defeated Galactus. Bow before my army of Galactus...ses.

    Videogames: The Untold Stories

    I think you're missing the point. "The Escapist" has postulated that all games are, in essence, Role-Playing Games because in all games, the Gamer Plays a Role. While this may seem to be an oversimplification, keep in mind that the first role playing games - the ones that you have thoroughly...

    Grammatical mistakes EVERYONE makes

    There's one that almost everyone makes during their daily conversation, and I've already hinted at it in this sentence. The contraction of "there's" equals "there is" and should be used to refer to a singular noun. "There are" should theoretically be shortened to the much more cumbersome...

    The Escapist Presents: Tour the Fortress

    Wow. All of you guys are good looking people. Men and women. You've got quite the attractive staff! Must be a prerequisite to work there.... (Sniffles, putting mirror face-down before slowly tearing up job application through blurred tears)

    WiiWare's My Fireplace is a Game About a Fireplace

    I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard. Great sarcasm!

    What Grade is Your Content Comprehension?

    I would submit timelessness may be a more worthy litmus test in helping to determine inherent value of a work. Look at a musical like "The Phantom of the Opera" for instance. Hovering at a musical comprehension level of probably 6th or 7th grade and with subject matter that is as worn and...

    What Grade is Your Content Comprehension?

    This may be sidelining the topic, but I'd be really interested in discussing with you what your implied 'other' values may be. The rest of your post makes the snob/connoisseur dichotomy pretty lucid and categorizes about 90% of my friends (and my own feelings about various media) but still...

    What Grade is Your Content Comprehension?

    After sifting through three pages of forum thread about this, a rather enlightening and enjoyable little missive, I am unfortunately forced to draw an unpleasant conclusion: Almost no one here (or elsewhere, give me a moment to explain) can resist a chance to talk about how intelligent they...

    This Is Your New, Post-Cataclysm Warcraft

    Here's hoping they only make it 180 of those degrees! I love this debate between the remaining hardcore elitist cells that remain, and the actual video game writer/critic who knows way more than most of us about the industry, and the minutiae involved therein.

    From any form of fiction, Pick a wife for Kratos

    Not sure if that's a spoiler. Someone has to put her in her place, and same for him. I think they would cancel each other out wonderfully.

    Kratos

    Oh, and this may be better fodder for a new thread, but I feel it has a basic connection to the subject matter at hand. Isn't God of War, as a trilogy, supposed to explain the connection between the end of Greek mythology, and the beginning of Western religion? When Kratos kills literally...
