    A question about Steam

    Alternatively, your mate may just have to put up with having to leave his PC on overnight. I had to do it with mine and I continue to constantly reap the rewards with the Orange Box games.

    A question about Steam

    If you purchase a hard copy of a game that is available on Steam, you will also enter the disc's product key into Steam, assigning that game permanently to your Steam account. From then on, as far as Steam is concerned, you own The Orange Box, and you can use any game disc as many times as you...

    Poll: Did you really feel sorry for the Companion Cube?

    I think part of the game's deeply dark humour comes from the fact that it is just a block, but when GLaDOS brings the guy up in conversation later on it's quite sad. Not full-on disturbing, but poignant. Also, if you want to be "disturbed" by Portal, put a turret through a Material...

    The most beautiful sight in a video game

    Ratchet & Clank is full of these, to the point when Insomniac now start every level with the camera pulled way back! Plus, any game Bethesda have so much as breathed on.

    What games that were bad that you saw potential in?

    I think that Aliens Vs. Predator definitely had a lot of potential, and that can be seen in feint glimmers in the Alien campaign.

    A new gaming Icon

    Sackboy. He's infinitely variable but instantly recognisable at the same time - an ideal symbol for the video games of today.

    The new steam UI

    It's taken a lot of its influences from the Zune software, in my opinion.

    Funny Gaming Dialogue

    Battlefield: Bad Company. Just everything about its humour is spot-on, and what seals the deal is how the banter flows naturally, not skipping awkwardly from soundbyte to soundbyte as other games do.

    Poll: New Team Fortress 2 Class - Rifleman

    It is an awesome drawing, though your inteerpretation for it is, IMHO, a bit too similar to the current classes. My idea for your drawing (based largely on his British personality): The General. Able to stop and open a laptop computer, viewing a complete map of the battlefield, including...

    Ideas for theoretical "Scariest Horror Game Ever"

    The best type of horror is not from the monster getting you. It is from the monster coming to get you. In a game, when the monster shows up: lock and load, let's kick some arse. This is why the last third of Dead Space is not scary. It's hard to be scared of the final boss unless you stop and...

    Things your Folks used to say when they saw you Gaming

    My parents tend to walk in when I'm playing WipEout HD on Zone Mode, which is possibly the best showcase of why I 'needed' a PS3 in the first place! And since that can be played with just two buttons and the left stick/motion sensor, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who wasn't able to join in!

    Next time period for Assassin's Creed 3?

    It is important to note that, for story purposes, Desmond has no reason to re-enter the Animus. He's now fully trained, and the third game could well be just set in the game's "present". Of course, that would suck, so I'd love to see an Animus segment set in Tudor England or World War I. The...

    "Twilight" franchise loosing millions due to not releasing a video game.

    Quoted from the MachineCAST: "Ha...ha...ha." I am surprised they didn't cash in, but reading the synopsis of the fourth book, there is a very messy childbirth scene which would be highly inappropriate/QTE laiden (though those two are not mutually exclusive) in a potential game.

    Poll: What do you do with the instruction manual?

    I read the manual on the way home. A game should be capable of turning you from a novice to an expert by itself - after all, if a mate comes over they don't read the instruction manual before they play your games!

    Zero Punctuation: April Fools

    The video was hidden in the middle of an episode of Game Dogs...so the amount of users who may have seen it is somewhat hindered already. Secondly, the video could be seen as a stark contrast to everything he's ever done. But most importantly, HE IS SCREWING WITH OUR HEADS! He wants...
