Remember kiddies! Jims opinions does not apply to theISM! Jim gives backhanded disses to religion twice alone in this review! So yeah, don't be close minded to anybodies opinions and when they cry foul!...except religion....fuck those guys... /rolleyes.

The only thing that bugs me about is that it makes the NPCs in mass effect, a series praised for it's writing, nothing more than wish fulfillment vessels to the player. This is a tricky situation because video games are supposed to either be empowered or in control of their world. But, as an...

Not when said like that it doesn't. "Science/Logic/Reason" are the reasons given when someone says they don't believe in God. I haven't heard of any other. You may disavow God because you think He is cruel/unfair but that's completely different then believing He doesn't exist. And the act of...

I see that we will be fighting like gentlemen *discards monocle* This is actually correct. I didn't read the students paper but I read the Escapist article in whole. I trust the Escapist to skew a bit to the left but to be truthful and diligent in their representation of gaming news. I...

+1 - I loved that "ass-covering" disclaimer at the start of AC :D

Before Hitler got all "Valhalla" in his regime a lot of his propaganda and party platform was based on the science of Eugenics. The Jew was "scientifically" an inferior race. Whether or not you think Hitler misrepresented Eugenics is not the issue, it's a very concrete example of science being...

The issue is not whether or not a particular developer intended to portray religion as evil, but what happens if all developers portray religion as evil?

Except that the 8 divines were originally 9. The central plot of Skyrim is the Thallmars control of the religious beliefs of the empire is causing Skyrim to revolt. I.e. the belief in a god is causing a war :\

Does anybody else realize just how the comments above such as "Well duh religion is violent", "religion is racist", "religion is a pox upon society" kind of tie in to the point the student was trying to make. As a game designer and a catholic I actually agree with him quite a lot. It's hard...

And now I don't get to finish this story... Thanks for that EA :(

What does him being openly gay have to do with him being a gamer or opposing SOPA as a congressman? While it may fit your ideology it just feels like bait to me :|

Nothing is really coming out soon, I guess C&C Generals 2? ME3? Both are probably be about the same time. The best would be to Boycott Old Republic though. So you're trying to say EA is too big to fail? ;) I know that's not what you're actually trying to say but I think EA would think twice...

So I felt really good that the internet at large recently boycotted GoDaddy to make them withdraw their support of SOPA. It proved that if you hit corporation where it hurts them the most, their wallet, they'll back off. But then I got a bit of perspective on the whole subject matter. GoDaddy...

This - The problem is a lot of the games are art snobs this site attracts can't accept the COD is the game that is going to do it. Sooooo they rage and call it a horrible game when it's a pretty solid game all around.

Hear hear! The Escapist is starting to become so yellow that Fox is actually looking fair and balanced...and that scares me.
