Banjo-Tooie, every pokemon third gen and later, and the great monarch of pretty games, Metroid Prime.

Something you imperial-bashers need to understand is that the imperial system is not arbitrary. Where the metric system was designed to be easy to make calculations with in a base 10 numeral system, imperial measures were designed to reflect common use and be easy to estimate without...

You can have hard sci-fi with unknown technology. There have certainly been hard sci-fi works with FTL travel, which is waaaaaay more problematic than a force field or machines that utilize biological components. What is interesting about Mass Effect is that it's hardness varies pretty...

I'm on board if only for the shadow of a glimmer of a chance of a new Ogre Battle game.

I don't want to nitpick...but Newton's Laws of Thermodynamics don't exist. There's Newton's laws of motion, which don't apply at near light speed. Completely unrelated is Thermodynamics, the study of heat and energy flow. What you're thinking of is Einstein's Theories of Relativity. But...

Yes, because the most reliable way to get information about a new product's quality is from the press release announcing it.

I'm not certain why it is really needed, and I am REALLY unconvinced about the need for a dedicated Steam Box. But you know what would be crazy? If by "living room machines" with steam streaming support, they are actually talking about one of the next gen consoles. That would throw...

By the Valar, The Silmarillion is the most obtuse book ever written, with the possible exception of Paradise Lost.

Hmm, you know, you have a point. What else came out this year? By what you're saying, there must have been nothing good in order for it to stand out so much. Let's take a look... Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Pikmin 2 Painkiller The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape...

Well, it depends. I managed to get through about 5 minutes of the Penny Arcade games before I had to stop to prevent further wretching. I managed to get through Mass Effect 3 and didn't realize its badtitude until an hour into a sleepless night, and poor Metroid Other M. I finished it, and was...

Less hair to comb, more face to wash.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Anyone who says otherwise wants the terrorists to win.

This test is clearly crackpot. All of the answers are desirable: it's just picking your your favorite colors and feeling smug that the test compliments you. Note that none of the answers call you jackass who's only good for disappointing your father and supplying organs for more deserving...

The way I see it, the ending is still bad, but they expanded it enough to at least be functionally bad. Sure, it made the entire series one big plot hole, but at least it's filled with delicious custard instead of soul crushing despair. Before the ending was like sauerkraut, a bitter and...

I was playing MGS3, when my rocket launcher inexplicably got infinite ammo. Every time I changed weapons, it's ammo count went to 99. The Fury died horribly, and the rest of the game was a mass of explosions.
