I was up at midnight playing through LoZ: Spirit Tracks.

You know, I never actually played the game being a total wuss for anything remotely scary. (Seriously, when I was younger I couldn't even beat the Great Deku Tree in OoT because of the Giant Skullatullas in it.) However, an interesting thing after reading this whole thread is all the people who...

As long as the main character doesn't look like he should be performing with ZZ Top, it's already better than the new Medal of Honor game. Though I do kind of hope it isn't in Vietnam, Treyarch laid down the patriotic dialogue and storytelling pretty ham-handedly in CoD3 and WaW. I don't really...

While I do find is method daring and a good way to stir up action and support and I don't mean to undermine his message, now I'm curious to know what the prison's are like in Denmark.

But that's the thing, Thermopylae was a heroic last stand and all, but the Spartans still lost. The point I was trying to make was that if Sparta had held it instead of sending off most of their troops they could have put a complete stop to Persia's advance. The Spartans we're much better...

No way, the Spartans had a geographic advantage so immense that they could have held out there forever if they had more reinforcements. They could have put a halt to the Persain invasions right there if they held out longer, more important (and humiliating) would have been Salamis where Greece's...

Galipoli was a pretty big fail during WWI, got Churchill backbenched for quite some time. Probably not the worst military loss, perhaps Teutorburg or Chancellorville.

Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a saviour such as you!

I know it may seem dorky to over analyze a Redwall book, unfortunately I've read them all far too many times. I think the character in that book was raised in a situation where every treated him like a vermin, so he grew up to meet their racist expectations. I think the opposite also happened in...

CoD2 had my favorite campaign for it's total Nazi slaughtering in well designed levels and fun sidekicks in the British campaign, multiplayer was a little underwhelming though. CoD4 had some intense story-telling as it managed to make me feel like a badass superhero on moment and then feebly...

I mean, I should be able be able to enjoy a fast-paced, action shooter without having to shoot up the airport full of civilians. I said I was buying the game, I'm not even entirely objecting the scene itself, I think it would have a strong impact on me if I was one of the civilians running...

You know, I can't help but wonder a few things. Firstly, it's kind of odd how IW was so quick to confirm third person multiplayer but quickly locked most videos of the airport scene. Also, I thought the leaked third person scenes were kind of weird because there was no aiming reticle. Also, in...

Well, I like to think that it at least provides some buffer against lawsuits since it can give parents a vague idea about whether or not a game is suitable for their kids. I don't know how much it costs the industry to keep it around or if it would be completely worth it, but a since a well...

I loved, loved, loved OoT, its my favorite singe game ever, but the Oracle games for the Gameboy Color together created a gaming package only rivaled by the Orange Box.
