    You know you've been binging on a game too long when...

    When you want to play for 2 hours, THINK 2 hours have passed then find that 5 have. When you shut off the game and can still see everything in the gameworld clearly when you blink. When you begin to look at areas in Real Life and start mapping out how the Prince of Persia would navigate to...

    Hard as Nails Achievement, Piss Poor Gamerscore Payoff

    Ever been Achievement hunting and spent 10 million lifetimes getting it only for the game to give you 10G? Ever been looking over the Achivement list for a new game and found something along the lines of "Find all 500 secrets - 15G"? What are the worst Achievements you've seen or done where...

    Bad game Sequels that if not for the original would have been great

    Was thinking the other day as you do, about the everlasting question "But is it as good as the Original?" and starting musing on games that would have been awesome if not for their original doing everything its done before it and/or the original just being better. So my question to the...

    Gaming Sins

    - Finding out if I can kill a quest giver, doing so and then reloading to an hour ago out of guilt and in fear of Karmic punishment. - In Left 4 Dead 2, piling up all the gas cans and gas cilenders in order to eliminate anyone who was unfortunate enough to play as Nick (Coach all the way...

    Any stubborn anti-fighting game players out there?

    I like fighting games, for the most part, but two things always get in the way of me playing them. 1./ Since I own the game, I will obviously by default be slightly better at it than friends and theres nothing fun about going round a mates house and getting slaughtered time and time again...

    So, silent protagonist or voiced main character in an RPG? [Wall of text warning]

    I'm a mixed bag on Voices or silent. I like Silent, but when I'm given options and its simply assumed I said them when another character replies, it does irk me. Voiced on the other hand I like also, but due to video game logic, you do end up sounding like a prick half the time when you...

    Tekken tag 2, 7 and beyond...

    God of War is a perfect example of stubbon unchanging-ness, but at least theres only 3 (main) ones not 7.

    Sick to death of Spoilers

    At the end of God of War 3 Kratos becomes a pacifist. At the end of Crisis 2 the Main character decides he's stronger without the suit. Metroid's Shamus is really a androngonous man. But seriously, unless it comes out of nowhere, if you want to avoid spoilers, then don't read internet...

    Tekken tag 2, 7 and beyond...

    Thing is with rosters is there is only so many ideas you can throw in really, look at all the Street Fighter characters that use the Dragon Punch or are in some way related/rivaled/trained with Ryu? Once you've done your wrestlers, your Hong Kong clones, samurai and typical street brawlers...

    Bullet Storm, An overall ..meh

    Eh played the Demo, leashed someone, then kicked them, leashed them again, kicked them again, did this about 5 times then shot them in the head. It was 30 seconds of fun before I got bored with another unremarkable FPS but 30 seconds nonetheless

    "PS3 DOMINANT!"

    Being poor but ironically owning all 3 consoles, they are all roughly even (yes even the damn Wii) You buy a console primarly to play games right? All three play games very well, all 3 let you download games straight to the console for easy access and all 3 have the option for...

    UNITY!!! The Pros and Cons

    So I was thinking the other day, whilst having my Xbox and knowing NOBODY who has one, I asked the fairly noobish question to my Pc Gamer buddy: If Microsoft owns both PC and Xbox 360, why not have servers that allow (non-modded) Pc games and Xbox games to be able to play with one another? So...

    Games that have an OPTIONAL mechanic that you Hate but still use...

    So we have all heard of some players utter hatred for VATS or how a certain weapon makes the game too easy, yet some people still go for that weapon or hit the freeze time button dispite how much they hate it. What games have you played with an OPTIONAL (as in you can choose not to use it)...

    The Health Bar is more realistic than Regenerating.

    Regenerating Health makes games have a focus on Speed. Health Bars makes games have a focus on Ability. Taking into account a GOOD game based on each, with Regen you appeal to an audience that wants to blaze through a level feeling like a badass, with only surprises or complete stupidity...

    Is there much worth in me getting Left 4 Dead 1?

    Been playing L4D2 now for a while, and now I'm online, it's equal parts stress reducing and increasing with how some plyers play. With Payday coming up, I was thinking about getting the Original, to see why some people boycotted the 2nd one. But in my mind, I would assume it would be more...
