Mass Effect, but only if I could somehow plant the idea in my head that the trilogy was tragically never finished, leaving only two games.

I'm glad to see someone actually taking a reasonable approach to this. This whole situation is ridiculous. Hey guys, remember at the end of FEAR 2 where Beckett gets fairly graphically raped by Alma, both physically and mentally, while you're controlling him no less? And do you remember the...

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Visceral still gets nothing. They've already been paid. Part of that $10 goes to MS and all the rest goes to the executives at EA.

Karen O? You know somehow I'd not be incredibly surprised. Was probably an...interesting night, at least.

I played the demo a few days ago - admittedly on my laptop with a GeForce 310M, so I had to turn all the settings down to keep it solidly above 30 FPS - and I didn't see anything wrong with the controls. The default mouse sensitivity is pretty low but that's just a personal preference thing...

Well, good thing DRM never, ever flags anyone incorrectly [http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2007/08/windows-genuine-advantage-suffers-worldwide-outage-problems-galore.ars], leaving a legitimate customer with an unplayable game. OH WAIT

People talk about how the PS3 "hasn't been used to it's full potential" and such because they don't really understand the core technologies. The Cell, for one, isn't appreciably better and general CPU tasks than any modern desktop processor (EG Phenom 9850, C2Q 9450), because it doesn't really...

Tsk, tsk, Shamus, borrowing jokes from Yahtzee! [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/5-Tomb-Raider-Anniversary] Hilarious stuff though, good work as always!

I disagree that my copy of the game is still yours after you sell it to me. And so does the law: it's called doctrine of first sale [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine], buddy. No, I don't have the right to make copies of it and give them out, but I DO have the right to use the...

I know it's trendy to beat on EA, but frankly C&C3 was one of the best games in the series, in gameplay, graphics, and cutscene quality (loves me some Joe Kucan). It's better than Tiberian Sun in every way except maybe some of the story writing, and the interface will (or at least should) go...

Obligatory Firefly, excellent show. And to be honest, I'd LOVE to see a good, new Star Trek. No Brannon/Braga bull, no going into the past, just good-old fashioned TNG-style Trek. Jump forward another hundred-odd years, make everything looks new and shiny, and rehire the GOOD writers from...

They don't get any more sane when you get to Uni, either, I'm afraid. Then again there's been this one girl who's been sinking knives into my heart on a more or less routine basis for years now, and I keep going back and hoping she's changed. never does, but I love her anyways. Eh...

GTA:San Andreas - Keep getting to about ~66%-75% of the way through and my savegames corrupt. After about 4 times of that happening I said "bother that nonsense" and haven't tried again. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - Similar story, got about 75% of the way through and had to reformat, and my...

I'm going to go with World in Conflict. That game got rave reviews, sold like hotcakes, and has an absolutely rabid fanbase, and that absolutely scares me. It has no base building, no resource managements, units are just granted at pre-determined times in set numbers and are balanced strictly...
