    What's the difference between battlefield 4 and CoD:Ghosts?

    The same difference between basketball and Football. One is more about a group of individuals pulling together a game, and one requires a team effort to accomplish a 'mission'.

    Recommend me some point-and-click adventure games!

    I think Kings Quest VI was my first point and click, and loved it. If you can deal with the age of the property, Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle show you how the genre is supposed to be done. I also had a lot of fun with a game called Noctropolis. It's about a comic-book geek who got...

    Batman and Superman "Facing Off" in Man of Steel Sequel

    First off, I do think a "World's Finest" (They'd better call it that in some fashion, BTW) movie could work. It allows there to be a contrast between the characters, and sets up a possibility for a JL movie much better than anything else. It escalates Batman's character to a world-player...

    Poll: Do we really want next Gen consoles?

    New generation in general? No. What I think will make this a good console generation is that, for all intents and purposes, all of the next-gen gaming platforms are expected to have the same 'metal'. Meaning that they'll have more or less the same processor and GPU architecture, and each will...

    What makes Superman, Superman?

    Superman is one of those rare characters that wouldn't work as black because of his symbolism. Basically, he's supposed to be the ideal person, and much of this had to do with his upbringing in middle-America. Part of what makes the character who he is is the fact that he has an internal sense...

    So a black actor is considering role of Johnny Storm and nerdrage has turned racist again.

    I don't see any reason to have a problem with it. I just look at it in the sense of Samuel L Jackson is the iconic Nick Fury now, though for 60 years, he more or less looked like John Wayne with and eyepatch. The character added a certain amount of 'gravitas' to the role. And no one has said...

    Poll: Honestly, was Xbox Live worth it this gen? Will you pay for it next gen?

    When it's all said and done, I do believe it was well worth the price of admission to be a paid XBL member. I've paid almost the entire time I've had an 360, and to be honest I'd have felt naked without it. I haven't worried about my service going down for a few months due to hacking or anything...

    How to Make Horror Games Scary

    I think that making the character powerful, but forcing the player to change tactics is what would be most effective. Give the character a minigun, and a resupply depot at the entrance to the game. Let them come back as often as they want to rearm. But the monster's flesh absorbs whatever...

    Say something nice about the Star Wars Prequel. If you can.

    1. Seeing that Anakin was actually the cause to his own descent into Vader more than being 'seduced' by the darkside. 2. Yoda vs. . Let's be honest, when you saw Yoda vs. Doku, you thought it was worth the price of the ticket. And when the Yoda vs. Palpatine fight started, you were on the...

    Might purchase a Gamecube...

    Funny how the gamecube was a much better action platform than it's successor.

    Can a good story save poor or medicore gameplay for you?

    Worst case scenario, a good story will extend my desire to play a game with troubling gameplay. Once the gameplay interferes with my ability to progress in the story, then not even the story can save it.

    To the WiiU hopeful

    Two words: Silent Scope in combination with the wii-mote serving as a "gun" of sorts, the controller would make an awesome sniper rifle scope.
