    Beyond: Two Souls DLC Trailer Looks Like Portal

    This DLC doesn't make any sense when you consider what game it's attached to. The entire reason one generally plays a game like Beyond isn't necessarily for puzzles, but for the story and choices you make. A thirty minute puzzle section, with no story element or dialogue of any description...

    Spec Ops: The Line. A Shooter Propelde By Story Rather Than Gameplay?

    I've played it through, and can honestly say that SO:TL was one of the biggest surprises for me this year. They weren't lying when they said they were putting the emphasis on story, because it really shows. One of the best shooter stories I've played in ... ever? It's also the only shooter...

    Writing self in?

    The problem with writing yourself, directly, as a character is that you come off as someone who wants to glorify themselves. All writers put a bit of themselves in a character; their anger, greed, lust, altruism, ect. There's nothing at all wrong with this. Sometimes, actually, you need to...

    BBC Apologizes For Halo Gaffe

    I doubt it. I think he'd "mix it up a little" ... with some grenades.

    Trailers: God of War: Ascension - Announcement Trailer

    Though he has some pretty terrible marks for 'Human Empathy'. Seriously though, that post made my day. Capcha: "you win". Seriously.

    Trailers: Prototype 2 - Live Action Trailer

    Seriously, dude, I think you need to sit back and relax a little. We get that you don't like Prototype and REALLY dig Halo, but that level of rage is unhealthy. Live-action trailers have become a new tool for advertising. While, maybe, Halo was the first one to do a live-action short, that...

    FEZ, Journey, or Trials Revolution?

    I'll start by saying that I haven't had a chance to play either FEZ or Trials Evo yet. What I can say, however, is that Journey is a piece of brilliance. It's short (like a couple hours or so), but it is the literal depiction of 'art game'. Not a single word is said in the game and you generally...

    Warhammer 40k fused with Star Wars

    That is undoubtedly the best way to put it. Ever. My only question is, do you really think the Marine will need the Heavy Bolter? A simple Bolter and a Chainsword and he'd be pretty happy for awhile. Well, until he ran out of targets that is.

    Warhammer 40k fused with Star Wars

    A Chain Lightsaber...can I drool now? Honestly, if the two universes actually met, the Space Wolves would probably just call it "Target Practice". Hell, you could throw in Starkiller from the Force Unleashed games to try and even the scales and it still wouldn't make a difference. Well, the...

    Kingdoms of Amalur: A surprisingly pleasant surprise.

    I am pleasantly surprised by Amalur. Don't get me wrong, there are a few quirks that rub me the wrong way but ultimately didn't detract from the demo for me. Example being the camera, though that might simply require me getting used to it. The aesthetic felt very nice, especially in a world...

    Police shoot an "armed" middle school student

    Yeah, because it's police brutality to eliminate the threat posed by what is perceived as an armed suspect who is aiming what appeared as a live weapon at police officers who refuses to drop it.

    Police shoot an "armed" middle school student

    ...You have obviously not read a single thing in the article or in this threat. 1: "They're lives were in no way on the line". They didn't know that. At all. They saw what appeared to be a live weapon being waved at them and in the surrounding area by a suspect saying he was going to "kill...

    Police shoot an "armed" middle school student

    Excellent post. For anyone else wanting education along the topic lines from the quoted post, I would highlight this section of history... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hollywood_shootout That is the sort of crime and violence our police face, but also was 15 years ago. Cartels and...

    Police shoot an "armed" middle school student

    1) Kid caused a situation that warranted police response. 2) Kid brandishes a pellet gun that, in some cases, can be indistinguishable from the real counterpart. 3) Police tell the kid to drop what they perceive as a live firearm, multiple times, to which he ignores them. 4) Kid starts...

    UPDATE: Penny Arcade Smacks Down Shady PR Dude

    How the topic changes and evolves over the course of a single day... I think we can all agree that Paul is an insufferable twat. I think we can also agree that (so far as we know) his family was not involved in his dealings in any way, and as such should be crossed off of 'the hit list'. It...
