    Thoughts on the Demise of Spaceflight Simulators

    I don't think the genre is dead, it's just that there hasn't been a good space simulator for years. It just needs something new and interesting to bring players back.

    Zero Punctuation: The Year in Review - 2008

    I don't blame him for being lazy around christmas time, oh well, I was hoping for a review of the new Prince of Persia though, since it's finally a game that stands up to greatness of Sands of Time. Mystery

    You brought that up, I was just answering your posts.

    Not outright, no. If there was unmistakeable proof that it was somehow detrimental to society, I might be against it, but nothing seems to actually indicate that. Would you?

    177: Be Still My Beating Heart

    Violent video games have been found to help with anger management, and porn most certainly helps with sexual frustration. The problem is that these work on people that are not "far gone" so to speak, the predators that we want to be "kept off the streets" are like rapists, murderers, thieves...

    177: Be Still My Beating Heart

    I'm just replying to your posts. My initial argument didn't even have anything to do with the game per se, just that people have narrow minded responses to such things.

    I did have a look, they're very stylised. That's all really, just really stylised cartoon characters. You see whatever you want to see. I see cartoons, you see children.

    177: Be Still My Beating Heart

    Well I did say it was regardless of what their age is written as. Visually it can go either way, depending on your perspective. Also, you do know puberty in girls starts as early as 8, by the age of 14 and up they are supposed to be naturally attractive. Humans are also predisposed to...

    177: Be Still My Beating Heart

    I'd have to disagree with you on that, but "individual experiences may vary" as they say. I don't find it disturbing, but I definitely couldn't care less about it. It's very difficult to judge the age of "cute" anime characters for one thing, just from a visual standpoint, no matter what...

    177: Be Still My Beating Heart

    I never actually said anything about maturity, I think you misunderstood what I meant by "grow up", that was directed at people's response to such games rather than the level of maturity the games themselves have. Besides that, most entertainment isn't supposed to be mature. As far as the...

    177: Be Still My Beating Heart

    You mean entertainment is supposed to deal with serious issues instead of being escapism? Entertainment is there for entertainment, no matter the subject. Following this train wreck of logic you end up also saying that violent forms of entertainment make a mockery of causing physical harm to...

    177: Be Still My Beating Heart

    Considering that the propagation of our entire species revolves around sex, I think that the typical "western" culture that hides at the very mention of various fetishes is the one behaving unnaturally. The "western" (never really understood that term, the earth has north and south as well...

    Assassin's Creed: Abridged Version

    I didn't think the sci-fi part of Assassin's Creed was bad at all, it was interesting enough to make me finish the game and made the gameplay elements work really well. Mystery

    Mirror's Edge: Good Idea or Bad Idea?

    The concept is certainly great, but it's being published by EA. We all know what that means.
