    A Shootout For One

    CoD used as the ur-example of the set-piece? Me and my crowbar would like a word sir... There's something to be gained from considering the differences in approach to set-pieces. They have merge seamlessly with the regular gameplay. Even if you use QTEs, they avoid the cutscene/gameplay...

    New Hitman Trailer Brings the Guns and the Nuns

    erm...what the hell? Even if the game doesn't turn out to be utterly awful, presumably because Square Enix are involved, this trailer was frankly disturbing. Misogynistic sexualisation of violence against women. Note previous trailers for this game have contained men getting shot, beaten and...

    Poll: Who buys the condoms?

    Neither, get them for free. Yet another reason why I love living in a country which still (for now) has a functioning NHS. Family planning clinics FTW.

    The Avengers - you can say quim but not c...Huh?

    Same as the rest: I'm a native English speaker, I read a LOT of material in my academic life, and I've never heard of the word either. One can only assume that the OP is trolling. Also, I'm seeing the Avengers in three and a half hours :D:D:D:D

    Crucible and Gordon Freeman Saved My Life

    Always a pleasure to listen to and always a pleasure to read. It's kind of inspiring to hear a tale of someone genuinely enjoying and making money from their work. Congratulations to you sir, and may Miracle of Sound continue for many years :)

    The ME3 ending controversy, games are art, and committee design.

    It's a hot thread atm, so I clicked on Sentox6's thoughts about Moviebob's tweets re. the ME3 ending http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.355624-MovieBobs-thoughts-on-the-ME3-ending-controversy. I don't want to open another thread on the same point, but instead open the discussion on...

    Escalation

    Anyone else starting to get creeped out by comic after comic with Erin in her underwear? I can't even remember why it happened in the first place...

    BioShock Creator "Sad" Over ME3's Ending Scandal

    So your point is that if someone receives a bad product/service, or one which was not as advertised, then they are not entitled to complain? Most people aren't demanding refunds. I would mostly agree that caveat emptor applies, and that a refund can be refused. A cautious person who listened...

    BioShock Creator "Sad" Over ME3's Ending Scandal

    The JK Rowling comparison would be valid if the last book had ended when Voldemort blasted Harry into that Kings' Cross limbo dimension. Because that would be an ending which was unsatisfying, conflicted entirely with the themes of the book and the motivations of the characters, and left the...

    "The Hobbit" vs "The Hobbit" Pub

    Can't be bothered to look at my old IP notes, but I'm pretty sure that this cannot threaten the film company in any way. The only thing they are stopped from doing is opening a pub on that precise spot...

    Bleszinski: Gears Became a Negative Stereotype

    He thinks that " a Christopher Nolan way" would make things more sensitive and thoughtful? [insert sarcastic laughter]

    Mass Effect 3 Launch Trailer Redefines "Epic"

    Hyperbolic title much? This hardly "redefines epic". It's pretty cool, but exaggerated journalism doesn't make the medium look good. Also, why are there age gates on this thing? You see more skin and more violence on billboards and video screens in public.

    Image of Assassins Creed III's main character leaked

    Ah I did quite like Shaun, even if he was a little 2 dimensional and predictable when he gets sarcastic at every single thing anyone says or does. So some vicious mocking would be quite welcome.

    Image of Assassins Creed III's main character leaked

    Dammit. I was hoping for a female protagonist. And a time period of location that games haven't explored before. Preferably European. The milking of the franchise has made me somewhat sceptical of this game by now. I REALLY hope that (i) They don't try to force the retarded plot from the...
