    Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders review by MikeTheMugger

    Sky Gamblers: Storm Raider is an Arcade-style dog-fighting game that is a nice change from the horde of twitch-shooters currently on the market. It's one of those easy-to-learn-hard-to-master games that seems simple at first, but over time you'll learn there is depth to the combat. With close to...

    Dark Souls 2 - FS new patch is burning witches

    Candidus I see where you're coming from but a lot of players like Dark Souls and dislike the random shoehorned PVP. Co-op should not be the price one pays to deal with reds and blues. And burning human effigies takes away white signs. Anyways, my real problem is with these patches, which are...

    Dark Souls 2 - FS new patch is burning witches

    I may try that out. I'll have to go online with it eventually though. I need co-op footage for streaming.

    Dark Souls 2 - FS new patch is burning witches

    I don't mind the co-op. But I don't PvP hardly ever. There should be different servers for co-op and PvP. A lot of these patches are "balancing" for PvP, but these patches affect every aspect of the game. Im not sure that playing offline would revert my game. Even a fresh install may come...

    Dark Souls 2 - FS new patch is burning witches

    I was all set for starting a new sorcerer character today, as part of my skit for the RFC "mike the mugger" channel on youtube. I noticed that a new patch was on the news bulletin on the load screen but didnt think much of it at the time. But an hour into my session i hit a small setback, From...

    How do I submit videos to the Escapist?

    I looked over the submission page but it seemed to be more geared for writing. It didn't include any information on video submissions. How does one go about pitching a video?

    Stolen Pixels #188: Test Your Shooter-IQ!

    After the brilliant slug-fest that was Call of Duty Modern Warfare; I have to say that I am very disappointed with what has happened to the series. I won't mention Black ops in too much detail. It was a spec-ops game about very noisy and clumsy battles. When you make a game titled "black ops"...

    20-hour games are "short"?

    Replay value seems to be an unsung hero, but I think its just as important as an initial play. Want to see how well those four weapons you never got around to upgrading your first play of Deadspace frag enemies? After beating the game you get to do just that! Yay for weapons unlocks! Seriously...

    20-hour games are "short"?

    It also depends on just how much time you want to invest in a game. I know it's possible to blast through FFVII in 17 hours, but you'd really be missing a great game. Genre has a big part in this as well. If you know you're not the kind of person who wants to put 50+ hours into a game then you...

    Poll: Reading the strategy guide before playing the game

    I definitely understand the guides actually making you derive more enjoyment from a game too. The Mass Effect 3 and Dark Souls strategy guides both contained some eye-popping concept art. If they made murals of the black knights from Dark Souls I'd have one in my living room! And on my work...
