    The Escapist Show: Episode 38: Crytek

    I hope that Crysis 2 is a better game than the first. CryEngine 2 looks stunning compared to anything you will find today, despite being two years old. Why can't they just use the already great engine to make a game that takes more than ten hours to play through? Unfortunately, Crytek seems...

    Has there ever been a game directly based off of a book?

    not many I can think of. A bunch of ideas in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. came from "Roadside Picnic" by the Strugatsky brothers, but that's about it.

    Poll: If a Tree falls in a forest...

    Difficult to say. While the tree might well make a sound, It would be difficult to prove that the sound existed.

    Cars and you...

    Should there be gun control in the United States

    My point exactly. A gun is like any tool. They can be useful. They can be fun. They can also injure or kill if used inappropriately just like any other tool on the planet. I think that we would be better off as a society if we took all the money we use trying to control weapons, and put it...

    Rhayn reviews Fallout 3 DLC (so far!)

    Sounds good, but I was wondering: how well do these fit into the canon of the series? Or how does the DLC add to the story of the fallout universe as a whole? (I like the story parts to fit together) Operation: Anchorage felt like a bit of a cop-out, what with the whole simulation thing.

    Poll: Doctor Who

    IMHO, it doesn't get much better than Doctor Who. It's just something about Sci-Fi/Fantasy that doesn't need a massive, over-arching plotline to drive the show, but does it on a show-by show basis. Not many shows do that, save SG-1 (seasons 3-5) and _some_ Star Trek.

    Should there be gun control in the United States

    people, people, people. Not this again. Sure, you can make gun control as tight as you want, but if someone's going to go breaking the law and shooting someone, they won't check if the gun is legal first. Just one question: Why do shootings never happen at firing ranges?
