If I were to find myself suddenly stuck in the 1950s, in a suburban neighbourhood, I would do the following: 1) Ignore the little girl who wants to play. 2) Look for a nearby house where a weird old lady lives by herself. 3) Listen to the old lady's ramblings for clues. 4) Find an...

Worst: The Bolter (and all the other weapons) from Warhammer 40k: Fire Warrior. Let's just say that beyond the lousy gameplay and lackluster story Fire Warrior had terribly underwhelming weapons, which is something not to be expected from a game set in the "There is only war!" franchise of all...

First I would like to apologize. It's not my intention to start an argument - I rarely post, but this time I'm compelled to respond. Andy, I like your articles and I respect you as a gaming journalist, but this comment is youtube level. For starters: I love my country and I get upset when...

Baldur's Gate 2? My art is unworthy in comparison to the skillful masters of this thread.

Disappointments: Crysis 2 - "So we heard you guys like tropical islands, open world gameplay and wacky octopus-like aliens. That's why we're gonna give you a city, lots of corridors and generic alien-robots." FEAR 3 - Oh my God, where do I even start? I admit, the series is a guilty...

From the top of my head: no guns in Mirror's Edge - hard but satisfying.

This is a cool hard sci-fi anime. It's set a couple of decades into the future but it's still quite grounded in terms of science. Humanity already has a base on mars and it's gearing up for a mission to Venus. The show follows a group of people who collect space debris (junk, old...

That's not a tear in my eye, it's just dusty in here...

I like games and I like CGI movies. Well-made intros and trailers are a big thing for me when it comes to picking something up from the ocean of possibilities. So without further ado, what is your favorite game CGI cinematic? [/spoiler] I am prepared. Amaze me!

Inflated HP bars and insta-gib attacks are overrated. In my opinion a boss fight turns really interesting when the boss pulls out moves and tricks that are only available to the player up to that point. From the top of my head a good example would be the Empress in Prince of Persia: Warrior...

Some interesting behind-the-scenes info about the game (don't know if it's been mentioned or not): http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/20/the-story-secrets-of-spec-ops-the-line I can say that I really liked the game. I can't remember the last time a video game made me think about it...

I only keep my game shortcuts on the desktop, the image is from Thief 3. I challenge you to play all these games.

Why I personally hate EA? Because it's the omen of the industry becoming McVideogames that's why...with everything bad associated to the term. I just read about damage control marketing and professional trolling so I take the article with a grain of salt.

to rub mint = "a freca menta" (romanian expression) = to waste time/ hang out doing nothing While mint produces a nice smell it's not really useful or necessary in any way. Basically what happens when you play video games.

Ewoks vs Starship Troopers OH, WAIT... (I feel bad for the troopers.)
