Say what you will about Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2, but when you get good at that game the game actively rewards you for being awesome. If you get as good as Batman and can make it through Sen's Fortress in one life, the game will reward you as such and let you be Batman. In comparison, the...

They added women into COD Ghosts and the world didn't end, what's the big deal? Furthermore, couldn't you make the argument that the US Military is trying to get more recruits from all walks of life, to the point of opening the United States Marine Corps to women, so therefore to get the usual...

And I thought her Brawl down smash A nerf was bad, yeesh.

The game has fairly solid shooting mechanics and a good PVP portion, and runs well. Just its kind of bland when it comes to stories and locales. Also 30 FPS doesn't cut it on Play Station 4/XBox One. Planetside 2 is the mother of all computer melters and SOE is committed to 60 FPS on Play...

My theory on HL3? Either its tied to a major new Source mile stone (that other, more readily availible games like TF2/Portal/Left4Dead and DOTA 2 keep stealing the thunder), or that the scope creep on that damn game is the stuff of legends. As a coder, what I wouldn't give to be a fly on the...

Alternatively: "Something something something Darkness, something something something the Light, something something something something Guardians"... oh my God, this is basically every Final Fantasy game stripped of the characterization/jail bait fan service isn't it?

1- Sniper, Scout, Medic, Pyro as my favorites. I never get to play Sniper a lot because if I see more than two of them I don't pick him, Scout/Pyro can be shut out on a lot of maps but medic is always in demand and needed and everyone loves a good ubermenshe. 2- I would say Soldier/Demo...

I would say Left 4 Dead 2 with some good buddies and Portal 1 and 2. While L4D2 is somewhat violent, its a hell of a fun experience with friends and a great way to learn how to play coop games or work alongside a team. The portal series is more about puzzles and movement rather than raw twitch...

Not sure how to answer this, but I'll give some reasonable examples of what's NOT fun: Guy 1- The Hypocrite. This is a guy I used to LARP with and he was a horrible human being in all regards. Being trained in other martial arts weapons (namely traditional Jujitsu), my instinct was to...

Credit given where its due, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was full of these. The starting intro credit reel execution, the nuclear blast mid way through, and the final show down on the bridge were all pretty potent for their day. I remember being particularly hard hit from seeing first hand...

World of Tanks is rage quit personified. Forget Dark Souls, COD, or even Mario Kart. Dark Souls is tough but fair, COD you can get lucky and get an uber kill streak run and Mario Kart can be played by just about anyone 4 and over as a fun party game with minimum investment. I put up with a...

Warframe definitely fills that void for me. I just grab Nova and my best set of guns and go pulverize few levels. Warframe in the later levels is just pure cathartic violence where you mow down dozens of hapless Grinear or Corpus at a time with a character who's basically an overpowered super...

The Command and Conquer series used to have the best one, as it pretended that your computer was uplinking to the GDI or NOD command module as you installed the game, definitely remember getting pumped on the loading screens for that. While I love steam to bits, it sort of took out the magic of...

Sony picked a pretty bad time to do this, as retailers in Canada are known for price gouging in the last five years when we had dollar parity. Everything else in this country also costs an arm and a leg, perticularly with books, clothing, food, and other essentials because they were priced when...

My best philosophical advice I can give is to treat Dark Souls like an open world fighting game rather than a Final Fantasy clone. Every fight needs to be approached with the idea that the enemy can kill you if you get lazy, so mind your spacing/blocking and counter attacking and pay attention...
