Seriously, guys? The GLA in the first game was actually funny to me in a guilty way, but c'mon: it basically portrayed the Middle East as a backwards wasteland filled with suicide bombers and impoverished cannon fodder. The only way they could be more insensitive would be to make an African...

What would I do? I'd probably die horribly, along with the idiotic girl who can't bear to fire her own weapon when she had the opportunity. Chances are that he's better trained with his weapon and more mentally and physically prepared for a fight (since he's in the middle of clearing out a train...

It's also worth mentioning that TF2 and LoL are both free. Unlike SFxTK. Just something to think about.

Would I be considered homophobic if I thought characters should have a set sexuality i.e. Kaiden could be gay, straight, or bisexual (don't know which one he is canonically) but would stay that way no matter the choices of Shepard? I just think that the fact that a character's sexuality will...

Of course. Let's "explore the possibilites" by making something that will result in the ME universe being closed off for at least a couple years (if not more) and force a constant money drain on anyone who wants to experience that universe again.

As a couple of other posters have already pointed out, this is a category that is COMPLETELY subjective. Why on earth would a name as reputable as Guinness include what is basically a popularity contest in their book?

Uh... it was swooping pictures of chess pieces with (pretty) strings in the background. Hardly the amazing trailer you were hyping it as, and certainly not what it'll take me to buy yet another version of the admittedly classic board game. Also, the Saxon-style playing pieces reminded me of a...

And hell, even if they couldn't get at an especially annoying Anon member they could just kill 10 Mexicans in his place and call it a day. It's not like that'd bother them or anything, considering all the practice they've had.

Yes. Yes, I am. I'm terrified of death. I'm an atheist, and I have no desire to be "switched off" forever.

The game itself looks okay for a hack-and-slash, especially if the co-op stuff gets working well. However, "a faithful entry in the LOTR canon" it most certainly is not - the fact that the eagle is basically used as a weapon is bad enough (Tolkien specifically meant the Eagles to be independent...

You know, I don't see anything incriminating in that article about video games - hell, the closest they get is saying that the games "aggravated" the situation. It's pretty obvious from the article's wording that the captain is receiving the blame here, not the games. Would the Escapist stop...

Actually, I think this could be a good idea. If the kids sit around on their asses playing video games the whole time then yeah, they don't need any more encouragement (and why would they pay for it in the first place?), but if the camp has activities outside as well it could prove to be quite...

Are video games, television and other sedentary activities contributing to obesity? Probably, because instead of going outside and doing something kids are sitting on their couches and pretty much absorbing entertainment instead of going out and finding it. Are they the only reason, though...

NOOOOO Colon and Buzzsaw are... dead. Ah well, they were awesome while they lasted. Good show this week. Hope to see Gulliver again, too.

NOOOOO! Don't do it Bioware! Seriously, enough with the MMO's. I want my single-player RPG's with a well-written story, fun characters and a distinct lack of griefers, damnit.
