Planescape Torment Dark, bizarre, and endlessly inventive. If you're even remotely interested in video game storytelling check it out. Mother 3 I only recently finished this. Hands down the best jRPG I've ever played. Equal parts comic and tragic it's something worth experiencing.

Maybe but honestly I think we've kinda been there ever since Doom.

What it is is the gaming press being too thick to realize the whole thing is a parody of macho jock games. The game presents the characters as amoral, the macho backslapping is a part of that. Seriously how Army of Two copped flack for it's ludicrous characters and Gears of War gets rave...

The analogy is interesting but I'm not totally convinced. Hardcore gamers are still very much the core of the market, sure there are many more casual gamers than core but the core buy a lot more games. This will probably change but for the moment hardcore gamers haven't quiet developed that...

Fun fact. Anime character designs are deliberately racially ambiguous so that they can appeal to both Japanese and American audiences. Avatar as an anime-inspired American cartoon borrows this aesthetic hence why you can't really call Aang Asian or Caucasian.

Madden NFL. Think about it, there's one released every year like clock work and that trend isn't going to stop any time soon.

When I'm on the PC I like coffee. When I'm playing on a console I like cola. Not really sure why. Of course if I'm playing on a console with friends I like beer.

Out of Gas was my favourite. I just loved how bleak and desperate it was the whole way through. Although my second favourite was Our Mrs. Reynolds just because it was so darn funny.

Hey agreed. But I would like to point out that I don't it's wrong for Sessler or anyone else to express their opinion. Just that the opinion itself can be wrong. But yeah we appear to be butting up against some kind of semantic difference over the word opinion. That's cool. Oh and sorry about...

Why can't an opinion be wrong? It's my opinion that the sky is brown today. Am I suddenly right about that. The problem with the whole "opinions can't be wrong" rubbish is that if we accept it to be true then there is no reason for anyone to listen to anyone. After all we all have our own...

When reviewers review a game on what they want it to have as opposed to what it does have it is a big problem. So let's imagine that everyone takes up x-play on their let?s use re-gen health in survival horror games suggestion. It would kill the genre. Survival horror is mainly about not...

The first Condemned game was completely terrifying. Puts the rest to shame in my opinion.

Let me start by saying that it's not racist. But it is highly provocative. Given that in Africa millions die from diseases like Malaria and Aids every year it is clearly insensitive for Resident Evil to portray their fictional disease as having come from there. When you add on the history...

Really? Cause way I see it trying to please their devoted fans was how they ended up last place in the previous generation. What made Nintendo successful was bringing new people into the hobby. The NES and SNES and Wii are a testemant to that. During the lifespans of The 64 and Gamecube they...
