Right now I'm reading The Fountainhead. I've just started and I'm now in chapter three of part 1 and all I can think is if I didn't read the Escapist would I have ever come upon this book with such an enthused desire to read it to completion? After The Fountainhead I plan to read through...

Most people say that but actually I find that co-op single player is often far more enjoyable than the online multiplayer. Lately I have been playing Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes. This franchise really brings together the RTS and the hack and slash gameplay of a dynasty warrior game. Which...

I like the idea of gametap, now if I could get that through a console I would be all over it but for me it isn't worth it to play those games on the PC especially the old games. I need a nice couch or recliner when playing older console games. If the next pc I build can be put into...

But that's just the thing, large parts of the history of Rapture have already been told in detailed. So if another game was made in that exact setting they would be constrained by so much mythos it would cramp any creativity they would bring to the project. It would be like trying to make a...

Unless he's talking about turning it into a movie franchise. Otherwise I hope they don't make an actual direct sequel or prequel of BioShock maybe the next game will have the same type of relationship to BioShock as BioShock has to System Shock 2.

It's makes sense to be worried about the 'death of authority' as applied to internet. For me though it balances, from here at my computer I have access to an amount of information that can't be compared to any one library. And while information may have been overall more reliable pre-1992 there...

His views are very interesting. I don't agree that writers have to give up the Hero's Journey or 3 Act structure, but it would be nice if they were used differently every once in a while. For example the Hero's Journey structure with respect to video games has almost always been used to...

Storyline and it's shinier. BioShock is definitely an game that I believe many should experience, try out the demo if you like the demo you will like the game.

A Double Dragon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dragon#Home_versions] sequel could be good if it was done right. It's really a great series but that genre doesn't seem to be popular at the moment. Zombie Revenge...

There's been alot of talk about the chambers. I just finished a short session I was fighting an Elite Big Daddy in Fort Frolic I died because I didn't feel like healing with the vita chamber right next to the fight and the Big Daddy would die with one more shot. So, I die respawn open the vita...

Where does Jack keep all that stuff? Has anyone else taken a moment to think about that too. About eight different weapons, ammo for each weapon, crafting ingredients, first aid kits, eve hypos where does he put it all? It's no wonder he instantly eats all food items he has no where to keep...

I must be weird. I don't feel this way about BioShock at all. This is first time I've ever felt dread from the mere thought about playing a game that isn't completely broken. The game's setting doesn't upset me at all and neither do the NPCs, but the combat is just so annoying for me that I...

These videos make Wednesday fun again, thank you Yahtzee. I'm still playing BioShock but I really don't feel like finishing it anymore. Every time I go to play I just remember I have to shoot a bunch of splicers again. I Have this question and I hope someone can think of an answer because...

I should have worded that better. What I meant was getting rid of or reducing used game sales in major retail chains. Selling a used game is legal and can never be stopped nor should it be. However, when one of the biggest video game retailers in the U.S. is best known as a pawn shop for...

The used car analogy doesn't really work simply because car dealers make a significant amount of money on selling new cars over MSRP. If you stepped into your average car dealership one that sold both used and new cars I doubt that the instant you walk up to a sales associate saying that you...
