    possibly the worst racing game ever

    Hey, this isn't a Sonic R thread. That surprises me greatly.

    Angry Birds Dev Foresees Doom for Consoles

    A man can enjoy a full course meals over his life and have snacks he eats often, he need not ignore one for the other. I wouldn't recommend eating the pigs though.

    Fear of Sequels

    I understand not wanting to get a game if there will be a sequel soon that is the same game and just improved, Street Fighter IV to Super for example, or if you want to play it and the multi-player just isn't there any more. That should make you pause for a bit, but not turn away. The majority...

    A Game Idea In One Sentence

    Survival Horror modern warfare, that is not a twitch action shooter or supernatural/alien based.

    Your MvC 3 team?

    Akuma, Spider-Man/Amy (depending on what I feel like doing), and Iron Man. Strength, switch out to amazing amount of medium combos, and good assist. Trying to figure out someone to use instead of Iron Man, and I don't want to do the overused Sentinel or Hagar. Cap is great for all around and...

    Cutscenes Are Gaming's "Failure State," Says THQ Exec

    Half-Life was good at having a world tell you things, but it was also stuck with "do nothing and watch" more then I cared for at the start. Which isn't bad as an idea except when it's too often and too frequent. I tend to get tired and bored of it, wanting to experience a game rather then just...

    Burnout Paradise

    You don't have to look at the map, the game gives visual clues with the turn signals as well as the upcoming street signs at the top to tell you when to turn. If you know where you are going from experience, just like in real life, you know how to get there as well. They have modes just for...

    Burnout Paradise

    I'm not a big fan of racing titles other F-Zero, Mario Kart 64/DS/Wii, and Crazy Taxi. SO I was surprised that I loved Burnout Paradise so much. Driving around a large open city, discovering new paths to take, enjoying the showtime, going as fast as I can for as long as I can, etc. All quite fun...

    What is the "Citizen Kane" of Video Games?

    As others have stated, Citizen Kane was the best "technical" movie. The one to do it all so well that it stands out for film designers. With that, I say simple Super Mario Bros. Not even the first game, though it's all done just as well, but the first part of world 1-1. Right from the start the...

    You are a Trader in a RPG.What do you sell?

    I sell slaves. Slaves that go around asking "Greetings stranger! What are you buying?". I found this works remarkably well in New Vegas.

    Sections in games you love that you hate

    Water levels. Areas in games where the makers give you worse controllers and make it easier to die in. All at a slower pace. Sonic games in particular annoyed me other then 3 and Knuckles.

    Is it possible to make a game comedy?

    Phoenix Wright and Ghost Trick come to mind, as well as many classic DOS point and click adventure games where you can get it wrong or say the wrong thing and seeing how it was meant to be done can be just as amusing. Oddworld Abe's Odyssey entertained me because it wanted me to mess up and see...

    Could a game with an invincible hero (superman, gods) ever be fun/challenging?

    Wario was immortal, and he had a great game. If a game has such a character, then the need to make the world itself a better design to be fun and challenging to take into account/balance this fact comes into effect. The problem isn't that there is a nigh-unbeatable figure or invincible (as...

    most unique ps2 games

    Sky Odyssey. A flight game where you had a mission and a story, but no combat or or overly technical stipulations. You vs nature's obstacle course and some rather fun goals to complete. Magic Pengel: The Quest For Color. A Monster Rancher/Pokemon/Dragon Quest Joker type of RPG where you draw...

    what do YOU want from the next Grand Theft Auto game?

    A sense of humour. GTA London, GTA3, Vice City, even the bits of San Andreas that I got to try out. I could laugh and chuckle at all the jokes, references, innuendos (not all innuendos are sexual), and gags made me want to keep playing on top of the game play. GTA 4 had none of that for me...
