Halo Reach was a fun solid game, and while I was dissapointed with the story of the campaign I quite enjoyed the gameplay. However Reach was the fifth game in the series and by that time I was getting tired of it all. It didn't help that I didn't like the implementation of armour abilities...

This! People wouldn't buy sequels if they didn't enjoy the original. Ok it's not everyone's cup of tea, but fact is a lot of people get a lot of enjoyment out of the Call of Duty series so they buy it when a new version comes out because they want to play the new story, the new maps and any of...

After reading this weeks post I can't help but think that Yahtzee would really enjoy The Joker Blogs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJtIPi0Nb60

Titus complete with Thunder Hammer and Jump Pack... the only downside is that it will be so big it'll take up half the living room. :lol:

Well I guess the UK Border Agency are on their way to kick me out after I got 46% on the UK test, but fortunatly I got 84% on the US test so at least they have somewhere to deport me to. :P

That and we have a healthy lack of respect for hacks trying to pass off nonsense as scientific fact without a shred of evidence to support it.

You know how it is, you make something that does well and the publishers demand a sequel! ;) Yahtzee is a professional blogger, he gets paid for generating traffic and he takes the quickest route available to do this by being a troll. While he often makes good points in his reviews, if you...

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?pIndex=4&aId=9400003&start=5 Jes Goodwin interview on the short lived podcast, he talks about how it was originally done as a bit of fun as a sci-fi version of the Warhammer fantasy game.

Agreed! If I want to cower in fear while I heal up I will go back and play other shooters. For Space Marine I want to be a Space Marine, a (nearly) unstoppable engine of destruction who either kills everything or dies in the attempt. There's a great quote from the fiction that sums up the...

Well I had a good time of it all last night with that demo, when I could pry the controller out of the hands of my mates that is. ;) I think you are mistaking the Orks and Space Marines of the tabletop rules for those of the background fiction. I've been submerged in the lore since the...

Britain has a lot of vocal pedants when it comes to language, people who complain that a '9 items or less' line in a supermarket should read '9 items or fewer' or rage against the use of the greengrocers' apostrophes. It is usually these same people who complain about the use of Americanisms...

Half blind in one eye so the 3D effect just doesn't work. More 2D please!

As Notch is on record as saying Minecraft was a clone of Infiniminer I'm not sure he has anything to complain about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9t3FREAZ-k

Perfectly normal in the UK, after all if they haven't got the wit to perform a merry jape before noon then truly they are an April Fool.

I wear my granddad's old service watch. It's a basic wind-up watch, all mechanical no batteries. He got it in 1939 when he signed up, wore it throughout North Africa and Italy campaigns and then everyday until he died. 72 years old and it still keeps perfect time. Compare that to my...
