    Escape to the Movies: Act of Valor

    Honestly it was a little difficult to watch with all the "asking for forgiveness" and pro-seal rambling. I just want to know how good the movie is, and it's hard to get a feel for that when he's constantly covering his tracks with forgiveness. Especially as a non-American the whole review kind...

    Star Craft II- Is there anyone who will not be getting this game?

    I have mine pre-ordered and played through a significant portion of the phase one beta, I think i managed to play around 500 games or so. Battle.net 2.0 has its issues, but with the recent news that they are re-adding identifiers, are planning on implementing a chat system, and adding cross...

    Recommend me some fantasy novels!

    I personally just picked up "The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski. This is the enlgish translation of the book that inspired The Witcher video game. It's a great read, and a little different than the normal fantasy read in that it is a collection of (slightly linked) short stories dealing with...

    I have a comparative politics exam tomorrow morning that I should probably be studying for.

    Games you have completed in one sitting

    Castle Wolfenstein for original Xbox on co-op mode, you can't save in co-op so me and my cousin pulled an all nighter beating it. Similarly, I also beat Halo 3 in one sitting on co-op mode. At the time I didn't own a console so I managed to borrow one for only one day and rented the game, had...

    Poll: Snowing yet?

    I live around the Toronto area and we just had the first November in 70 years without snow, but that was November, its now a month later, and there's now snow on the ground and its cold as hell.

    What's Your Game Fuel?

    Normally I love hot beverages, coffee, tea, etc and so that's what I usually drink when I play. However If I decide to "drink" while playing, nothing is more satisfying than Captain Morgans Spiced Gold with Coke!

    New Prince of Persia Is a Sands of Time Betweenquel

    Due to how soon this game is going to be released I'm almost positive it's meant to generate hype for the PoP movie. And while it might not follow the movies story this seems to reek of movie-tie-in horror. That being said it's impossible to judge the full game of a CG trailer but nothing I...

    Poll: Do you rent games?

    When I was a kid I rented practically all my games; but now that I have a job and can afford them, I prefer to buy them. The two reasons (excuses) I make for buying them are that a) most of my games have long play-throughs' and b) its the only real collection I have =D

    Favourite ORIGINAL Pokemon?

    Nidoking, to me he always seemed like one of the more "badass" looking ones ^_^

    New Prince of Persia Is a Sands of Time Betweenquel

    Over at Gamespy the main page describes the game as being a sequel to the previous Prince of Persia: "And while the trailer doesn't really reveal anything about what the game will be like -- except that it appears to feature the same lead character from the last title" -Gamespy Being...

    A View From the Road: Dungeons, Directed

    I think it's your last point that's most important and the one that most people would probably be upset over. There's a nice sense of empowerment or accomplishment by going back to a previous raid/dungeon in higher level gear and just annihilating everything. It's fun to go back to a raid like...

    224: So Many Games, So Little Time

    As a 19 year-old university student I find myself in the transition phase between the Hardcore and the Casual. Similar to your experiences I tend to be more drawn to the shorter, if not equally fulfilling, games such as Prince of Persia and ODST, instead of my usual engorgement of MMO's, namely...

    WoW: Cataclysm Part 3: Dungeons With Dragons

    Personally I think it's good that the game world is changing: From a lore perspective it keeps things fresh and gives the developers more opportunity to throw interesting plot lines that we haven't seen before. Whereas from a game play point of view the players are getting a wider variety...
