    Ubisoft Reveals Online Security Breach

    If a person uses the same password for multiple sites, email accounts, etc, then all they need is an email address and password, whereupon they can log into your email, request password resets/reminders for other sites, etc, and essentially they could end up with full access to your paypal...

    Discontinued!

    Sega Hardware. Grew up with the Mega Drive, Master System, and Game Gear, and was heartbroken when the Dreamcast failed and the subsequent drop in the quality of their games, particularly the Sonic series (a lot of people here seem to worship Sonic Adventure 2, but for me the series peaked at...

    Help Me Make A Game... For Real! (Now Accepting Alpha Testers)

    Just went back and re-read MXRom's post. My bad, should have read the thread more carefully as they are in essence the same idea, just a different implementation using one system (where sanity essentially IS proximity) rather than two systems (perception of proximity which is then affected by a...

    Help Me Make A Game... For Real! (Now Accepting Alpha Testers)

    Hi, just saw this thread and thought I'd jump in. Perhaps you could solve two issues in one go. Let's say that (hypothetically) you cannot actually fight the demons (not until the very end of the game at least). Successful solving of a puzzle or running away and barricading a door etc gets...

    The genre you never really cared for

    Real-world shooters (ie CoD, Medal of Honour, Battlefield, etc). I've never seen much appeal in them. Throw it into a fantasy or sci-fi setting and give it a story that isn't just 'x terrorist group attacked Y' etc, and it's a different matter.

    Your favorite OST for a game and recommendations

    I would say FFVII, but I think it would just be my immediate and powerful emotional response to it talking, and that won't do you any good if you don't love that game as much. Sooo, I would have to say Alan Wake. The composition of the score is just stunning, and the licensed songs throughout...

    Jimquisition: Touch Waggle Touch Waggle Swipe

    You're right, but there is still a lot to be said for trying out new things. The problem with new input methods is when they are used as a replacement for existing tech in a situation where they do nothing to enhance the experience. For instance, Rise of Nightmares for Kinect had moments...

    Cthulhu

    Cthulhu's great and all, but I have to love those flying polyps. Nothing says antediluvian horror like the giant gravity-defying precursors to intestinal tumours. Failing that, being plucked from a gigantic mountainous effigy of Nyarlathotep's face and carried through the air while being...

    What is with Final Fantasy Tactics?

    No. The game has a manual. Read it.

    A Canon ME3 Ending?

    This. Exactly this. My Shepard was all about compromise and finding another solution, a third option, as it were. As such, I ended up choosing synthesis. Sure, people say it's unethical, but frankly if someone offered the entire world the ability to be perpetually healthy, stronger, faster, with...

    Characters they need to kill off.

    Ganon. Seriously. Either that or they need to switch up the roles the characters play in the ongoing tale. The Zelda games have never had much of a story (not by the standards of any decent story-driven game anyway), but it would be a lot more interesting without an obvious...

    Miracle of Sound: Crucible (Mass Effect 3)

    I haven't listened to it yet (I will do later), but I predict it'll be utterly amazing but then the last 10% will be so mind-blowingly awful that it sours your view of the whole song.

    Poll: Final Fantasy X remake - do YOU hate it?

    Wait... so to remake FFVII would be too technically demanding, too much of a drain on resources etc, yet a remake of FFX (a standard post-FFVIII, weak as piss, franchise rapist of a game) is worth doing? Seriously Square Enix, take a breath mint or something, because you've clearly been talking...

    It has begun.

    They tell you how to get around it on the Wikipedia front page itself. It's not really a shame, as it's what they intended.
