Where the divide lies is that its just the same complaint over and over and over again. The vast majority of core gamers are male so it makes sense that the games tend to target them and yet you have this small whiney minority in the gaming press incessantly complaining about how every...

I don't buy into any argument that its inherently sexist to write a damsel in distress storyline. That said writing a damsel in distress storyline over and over and over again deserves criticism not on grounds of chauvinism; but on the grounds that its repetitive and uncreative. By the...

This is a contradiction in terms. You either rule your emotions or they rule you. You can either be sensitive or strong, yin or yang. They both have value; but homogenizing them weakens them both.

Played the hell out of Insanity on ME2. A few tips. 1: Don't do an Insanity Run with a character imported from an ME2 endgame save. You'll start out at level 30 and all the enemies will be scaled to level 30; but you won't have any upgrades when you start the game so the game will be...

There are a lot of Star Wars games that should come back. Star Wars Republic Commando. Knights of the Old Republic as a true single player RPG. and the X Wing and Tie Fighter flight sims were also great. Given the generally low quality of Star Wars games over the past few years though...

I have control over my emotions and I can lift heavy objects.

Mass Effect 1.

I called my congressman (Patrick Mchenry (R)-NC) today and his aides said that he planned to vote against it. From the sound of the guy I got on the phone this was definitely not the first call he'd gotten about SOPA today.

Yahtzee gives good critiques so long as you go in with the understanding that even when he loves a game his critique is going to be about 90% negative. He's very good at pointing out the short comings in even great games; but he's not really a good barometer for figuring out a good game to...

The internet is a great tool for free people across the world because it is not controlled by governments. Giving the state control over free expression on the internet is just another step towards tyranny.

If you point something that looks like a gun at someone who has a real gun you shouldn't be surprised when you get shot. I'm not a fan of the cops; but if they feel their lives are being threatened then they have the right to defend themselves just as you or I would.

Part of me wonders if Bioware didn't do something really clever by being less ambitious and focusing more on the combat with Mass Effect 2. Namely they gave themselves room to improve. If they had refined the combat and fulfilled all the potential of Mass Effect 1's exploration and...

That's just ridiculous man. Mass Effect 2 was an amazing game. It wasn't as ambitious as Mass Effect 1 was since it largely abandoned the exploration of the first game in favor of more linear shooting missions and the main storyline was dull compared to the intergalactic mystery you tackled...

Just slash his tires so that he can't make it to the game in the first place. Your character may be lawful good; but that doesn't mean you have to be.

Well you're opinion of KOTOR really depends on if you're a Star Wars fan or not. I am so I loved KOTOR because it let me really explore the setting that I fell in love with when I was a kid watching Star Wars on VHS. Even if you're not a Star Wars fan though the storyline is really great and...
