In addition to this being only tenuously linked to video games, both uses of 'whom' in this article are incorrect. In each case, 'who' is correct. I know this seems like a trivial and petty point but I still expect some minimal standard of journalism from the escapist; that includes the...

Even looking past the lack of context or any sort of information about these films, their titles should be present in the very least. This article may as well be another pointless Facebook status to the tune of 'stuff I don't like'.

My powers of deduction are obviously improving because I've managed to infer from the subtle hints that Bob disliked this movie... Seriously though, I had no idea Shyamalan was involved either. That seems to have been downplayed in all the advertising. I had contemplated going to see this...

Glad to see some people are keeping the genre alive. Some of the best gaming memories I have are of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Broken Sword, TLJ, etc. I'm glad the animation style hasn't gone for the full faux-3D models too; a lot of the charm in these games is the simplicity with which...

Completely nonplussed at the number of people who regularly post on an internet forum and haven't heard of tubgirl... I think the whole reason noone yelled anything is that everyone was just so bored and numb that they were trying to stop their souls from being destroyed by it.

I'm pleased he won this. Since noone knew what the prize was it's not like he intentionally went out to annoy genuine fans. Those self-proclaimed 'hardcore' fans who harbour such hatred towards him should perhaps redirect their anger towards Molyneux given that his experiment not only allowed...

In addition to the reasons people listed above (financial, time constraints, volume of exposition, etc), another reason JRPGs have no real desire to cut down on the amount of text is because in Japan, it's a really good way of helping kids develop their ability to read kanji. I went to...

Very well written article Bob, lacking much of the paranoid hyperbole of some others. As a PC gamer for the most part (and a Sony gamer for the rest) I'm glad that, for the moment at least, I'm safe from this madness. We can only hope that those less tech-savvy don't blindly go out and buy the...

As many have said above, I'm sure they're going to mess up somehow but I don't see it being anywhere as bad as MS - they're just not THAT stupid. I'm mainly a PC gamer but I have a Vita and PS3 and usually only buy the exclusives or multiplayer games for them. Sony is a company I really want to...

Sometimes I just can't comprehend the sheer: 1) stupidity 2) callousness 3)both of these which seems to be the overriding factor in journalism today. The UK has had more than its share of amoral journalists and it seems that those in other countries are just as keen to show they're vile too.

Almost anything composed by Nobuo Uematsu for the Final Fantasy series is stunning, especially when you hear the proper orchestral version. What impresses me most about it though, is how even 8bit version of it still create a sense of atmosphere and help draw you in.

I feel like we've witnessed a similar effect as watching a drip of water on stone for a thousand years. Eventually, it's going to wear it down and break it.

When I was about 4 years old we had a ZX spectrum in the house and it all stemmed from there. When I was 12 and Final Fantasy 7 was released in the UK that's when I really started playing games a lot.

I currently have a PS3, Vita and have recently invested quite a lot of money in a new gaming PC. The only console I'd even consider would be the PS4 but until I see more from it I'm not sure I'll buy one. The new consoles are trying to hard to be mini PCs and I don't see the relevance when I...

I absolutely love my Vita. I queued up for mine when it launched in Japan and was lucky enough to have more titles available to me shortly after launch compared to the US & Europe. Games which force you to use the touch screen and motion control in a gimmicky way I find obnoxious and downright...
