Halo trumps most fps-games based on it because of three things. One, the other games are based on it not the other way around if your premise is to be believed, which gives it the sense of being innovative while the others have the sense of being generic (I think). Two, grenades, in no other fps...

Wish number one, powered armor with effectively inexhaustible energy supply, high mobility and a melee combat focus along with the proper training to use it. Two, the attention and capacity to contact the infernal unreality of the Warp (warhammer)so as to one day ascend to the level of daemon...

Well, I was named after a character in a sci-fi book, and after finishing Deathstalker Coda I reaffirmed that I would maintain that tradition by naming any son I had Owen. Blasphemous to be sure, but hey, why not. If I had a daughter... jeez that's a difficult one. There was a name that I used...

Well there's only two possibilities right, that he's full of it (infinitely probable) or that he's being honest and has some kind of strange disorder that modern technology sets off (exceedingly unlikely). If he's full of it then one has to hope that his case is at worst defeated and at best...

Yep, Bootfighter Windom XP SP-3.

There seem to be two main camps here, people who like Tali'Zorah Vas Normandy, and people who hate her. I can't understand the second one. In the first game I took Tali with me on most missions because my characters were going to focus on combat skills thank you very much, and I needed a hacker...

My natural inclination was to be mildly crude and suggest Melfina as the most attractive off the list and hence best for the role of 'first mate' but it seems like everyone here's actually being serious. Not used to that on the internet. Anyway, Chewbacca doesn't speak any language other than...

The main character, slayer of dozens, nay hundreds of 'bad' dudes who are actually mostly just grunts doing their jobs without pause, consideration, or seeking an alternative (with the rare exception of killing a lower number to get through the whole process a bit faster) having doubt and...

I vote tricorder, not because I don't like weapons- I do, very much so. Not because I don't think that the PADD might have useful information, it might very well have schematics for a bloody warp core, then again it might not. Not for a whole lot of reasons. The tricorder however, has a...

To me, two major scenes were where you leave Cortana at the end of Halo 2, and where you save her in Halo 3. Maybe you have to read Fall of Reach to fully understand why John and Cortana are so close, but really those moments mattered to me. Also, Mass Effect 2 really played on the emotional...

Shit, no one mentions ADA? Zone of Enders, Jehuty's detached backup battle-intelligence. Both a robot and a love interest, how can you go wrong? Or for that matter, cortana, but since she is strictly AI she counts less.

Played EVE more than a year ago, played it again earlier this year. I really do like it because it's more intelligent. Oh yes, I mean that. It's more intelligent, it is actually a lot more than just the one click because early on you have to figure out when your in optimal range and really...

There was a time, when the Earth, and the moon, were at war- wait no that was einhander, I'm thinking of when the only channel I watched was G4. That was when shows like Portal were still on. And I am still utterly and completely enraged by a) the ending of that series and b) that series'...

Being as I am genuinely afraid of religion's effects on people, I have none. I do however have tremendous faith in the existence of higher powers- and further in the potential of humanity to grow beyond even those bounds. I suppose then I would label myself polytheist.

No plot doesn't mean bad plot. Bland plot doesn't mean bad plot. Gears of War? totally average, but the characterization made the bland plot kind of fun. Katamari really doesn't have a plot either, it just kind of happens. And convoluted doesn't always mean bad either, FFVIII was pretty hard to...
