    New Dead Island: Riptide Bundle Offers Bloody Boobs

    After things such as the controversy with the feminist whore skill from the first and just the general argument concerning sexism in the industry, you'd think they know better to make the torso male. Yeah, there's the talk about too much violence in games, but I'd imagine more people would be...

    Poll: Final Fantasy: Gameplay or Story?

    Gameplay wins out for me when it comes to the series. XII and XIII are among my least favorites of the series due to me not enjoying the combat. As far as story's affect on making me like a game, it has little influence. If they made a final fantasy that was a cross between the kingdom building...

    The Five games that define you as a gamer

    I. Theme Hospital After Sim City and before The Sims, this game was what got me truly hooked on managerial games. Maybe due to my love for Ultima III or the humor of the game, there's a certain draw that brings me back to it. II. Fort Zombie For the most part, I generally didn't give much...

    Your Thoughts on Demo Reel

    About as interesting as How It Should Have Ended. Some the jokes went on too long, like the Bruce Wayne taking up an identity bit; going Mario, Spider-Man, Mario probably would've been better. Might improve if their focus was on five to seven minute sketches of movies from different series. The...

    What are 5 games you would get a newb to play

    Theme Hospital Timesplitters 3 - Figure this might be a fun introduction to FPS, and due to its two-player co-op, I could play along with them and maybe ease the burden a little. While I prefer 2, I think the AI partners in 3 would also help if they play the game solo. Seiken Densetsu 3...

    Favorite Webcomic

    When it comes to story I prefer Something Positive, Dumbing of Age, Multiplex, A Comic with a French Name Involving Three People, GastroPhobia, The Zombie Hunters and Dead Winter. I love Something Positive so much, so addicted to it, that I have to forbid myself from reading till the end the...

    Magic outside the medieval times?

    The Parasite Eve series comes to mind, especially the first whose magic abilities seemed reminiscent of medieval fantasy.

    Wii U - The Potential

    Things that may be appealing about the gamepad: Anything requiring the input of codes or names can be done faster. Better control over AI partners. Thinking of Resident Evil Outbreak: you could have the ability to point at an object and instruct them to pick it up, tell them to move an...

    Poll: What's the best animated show airing right now?

    While I enjoy immensely The Legend of Korra, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time and Regular Show, I'd have to throw a vote in for Young Justice. It manages to be as good as Justice League while feeling as if it creates a fuller universe.

    A question about zombies

    As far as it comes to video games, one just assumes it's for the same reason as the typical lack of children in zombie focused games, they either didn't think about them seriously or believe they will be a hassle to deal with in game. Flying creatures are typically annoying to deal with...

    CHALLENGE: JRPG Master List

    Tactics Ogre (PS1) Romancing Saga: Minstrel Song (PS2) Unlimited Saga (PS2) Lost Kingdoms 1&2 (GC) Aren't Holy Magic Century and Quest 64 the same game?

    This Game sucks because the Story is bad.

    I view gameplay more highly than story simply for the reason that when the most interesting thing about a game is its story, the interactive bits get in the way of my enjoyment. I love Wallace & Gromit and was rather enthused at the prospect of the continued adventures of the duo in the...

    Want to get my feet wet in the jrpg world

    Earthbound (Mother 2) has lighthearted charm and some trekking through different lands. Depending how you feel about playing games that need a translation patch Metal Max Returns(SNES, which has a out of Japan release on the PS2, Metal Saga), Hourai High (Has a high encounter rate, about...

    I Need JRPGs like FF VII-X!!

    I'd say give Metal Saga for the PS2 a whirl, which is set in an interesting future. Zoids Saga (GBA) takes place in a similar era. Then there are the Shadow Hearts (PS2) games which take place in the early 1900s. Wild Arms 3 (PS2) had a western aesthetic. Also if you don't...

    Poll: Spider-Man Cartoons

    Spectacular is the best version for me. Great pacing and action that doesn't drag on. Spider-man and his Amazing Friends would be a close second, cause I enjoyed the chemistry between Peter, Bobby and Angelica. While I found Unlimited dull, Ultimate is the worst version I've seen, despite...
