    Trailers: Goldeneye Reloaded - Reveal Trailer

    For such a new game, why does it look so bad? Is this just the Wii graphics? I love how they're focusing on the single-player, because the original goldeneye was fairly strong in this regard, but it just looks generic, it looks too serious and too spectacle driven. Did it really need...

    Train Simulators. Why?

    'Densha de GO! Final' is a pretty good train game from Japan (obviously). The excitement for the game is that its not just a sim, but contains game elements. The point of the game apart from driving drains is to wrack up chains and multipliers on the way. As you drive the tokyo underground...

    Trailers: Tomb Raider: Turning Point

    If Tomb Raider was an RPG with an emphsise on strong plot and character development this trailer would be fantastic. Since its an adventure/platformer with a history of utterly linear progression through largely copy/pasted levels with copy/pasted hostile animals and is the very definition of...

    Poll: Jimquisition: like or dislike

    I definately like him, he's pretty good right up until the little bit at the end where he goes "And so thank God for me!" which isn't as funny as the slightly more natural humour that comes through in the writing of his scripts. Junk that stuff off and I'd probably come away feeling a little...

    San Francisco considering banning circumcision

    Circumcision is very definately, in my view, a cosmetic surgery. Its only religious for Jews and some muslims (who picked it up off of the Jewish citizens). North America is the *last* developed country still to practise this. If its a religious thing for Catholics, why-oh-why do countries...

    How many of you outside of the UK actually want to see the royal wedding?

    I think the biggest complaint most of us brits have is that its just another stupid event. If there was any actual patriotism behind it, there might actually be some vague interest - but its just another hyper-consumerist event, quite close in proximity to another big consumerist event...

    How SHOULD sex scenes in games work?

    To be honest, if it wasn't going to be either complained about or purile it frankly should be something that happens as part of the plot - regardless of how you play the game. Games with successful sex-scenes like Final Fantasy X (Mostly implied) and older games like Nomad Soul (Woman on top...

    Trailers: Crysis 2 Semper Fi Trailer

    Having loved Crysis 1, I leapt at the opertunity to experiance crysis 2 as 'obtained' in some form by a friend who knows more about getting games like that than I do on his computer. I didn't want to ruin the game, just get a taste... and am very disapointed. Completely linear corridor levels...

    Trailers: F.E.A.R. 3 Behind the Scenes Trailer

    The FEAR series is just one game with an ever repeated plot and list of locations. Your a silent protagonist. Go to an office building. Go to a hospital. Go to a subway station. Go to an underground lab. Go visit Alma in other lab. The first game, both add-ons AND fear2 had exactly...

    Who isn't going to buy the Duke?

    I won't be buying it for the same reason I didn't buy ModernWarfare2, Bad Company2 and I won't be buying the new Medal of Honour game. The same reason that I wish I hadn't bought BioShock2. I want to actually play a new game with some originality and something new and fun. I don't sense that...

    Poll: Would You Kill Baby Hitler?

    I don't know if this has been mentioned already... Go see "The Boys from Brazil" staring Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier. If I wanted to change history - and if I had that ability - I'd choose a far better, cleaner and more certain method than killing a baby. World War II didn't happen...

    Zero Punctuation: Viewer's Choice: Duke Nukem Forever

    This is a review of the 3DRealms game (with occasional references to the screenshots and trailers) The new game is by Gearbox Software and has *nothing* to do with the 3DRealms game. Yatzhee said clearly that the 3DRealms version of Duke Nukem looked like "Utterly generic brown FPS that...

    Duke Nukem Forever CONFIRMED at PAX 2010

    I'm sure its been said already - but ANY game studio thats done an FPS before could and should be able to make a game to just about any theme in a eighteen months or less. When whateverthehelltheywerecalled studios got kicked off their own project by the publishers it was completely the...

    What is the Glitchiest Video game you've ever played?

    It'll come as a suprise to no-one but the worst ever game for bugs, glitches and impossible-to-control game problems I've played is probably Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness for the PC. All tomb raider games have their problems but AoD was just so unplayable it wasn't believable. Several jump...

    Poll: Paintball

    I too paintballed for a short while, competition paintball with the inflatable cover. HOWEVER I changed to airsoft two years ago and vastly prefer it. Average age of airsofters considerably higher as is their maturity, every game is themed (and if it isn't your sites probably not so good) and I...
