Ballpene hammer. I still can't figure out why a major action star has never gone to town with one of these things.

Counterattack, try thinking of it from this perspective: I'm a fruit merchant. When I sell an apple, I want to get as many dollars as possible for it. You have ten dollars, and I think you'll give me ten percent of your money, so I charge a dollar for an apple. You look at that price, and it...

I've had an idea for a Silent Hill game bouncing around in my head for a while. I know it will never get made, but it's fun to think about. I thought I would share it, see if anyone had any suggestions or comments...

I've always thought that developers are missing an obvious middle ground. Regenerating health allows a better feel for 'real injury' - if you get hit by a few bullets, you die. If you had only that much health and didn't regenerate, the game would be frustratingly difficult. In fact, there are...

I have a problem with this, but I tend to come at it from the opposite direction. See, I find a weapon I like and stick with it. I prefer honing my skills with a single tool rather than learning how to use the whole kit. I get to the point where I can deal with pretty much anything with that one...

Disclaimer: The following is entirely my opinion. I think that Heinz was justified in stealing the drug. If I were him, I would have done the same in his situation. I also think that what he did should be punished. If it was up to me to decide whether he did jail time, I would probably put...

A warning label would be perfectly reasonable. But if it's sold in the US, it has one - an 'AO' tag on the front and a box on the back detailing exactly why it's rated 'AO'. I would also imagine it has a detailed description of what the game contains on the back of the box and an illustrative...

If I remember correctly, it was labeled as a 'rape game'. I don't know if a clear and honest statement of content is a good idea, though. It seems to offend people.

I have to admit, I was curious enough to download. It has a story, but it's not all that involved. Less plot than an average FPS, and not all that much content either. If it wasn't so controversial, no one would give it a second look. EDIT: Also, to get to the attractive girl you have to go...

You make a good point, but it serves to illustrate the heart of the matter better. Making video games that simulate rape is extremely close to the line between what is acceptable and what is not. However, that line is very clear. If someone were to rape a 10-year-old, they would be committing...

I never really got the idea of early-announced release dates. Experience has shown that they're pretty much never accurate. It's not really surprising, either. Release dates are generally based on ideal or near-ideal predictions, without anywhere near enough compensation for unforeseen delays...

I hate to sign up just to post once, but I can't help myself. Looking through this topic, I saw a lot of very interesting points, but one really stood out. A couple of people (or maybe just one quoted repeatedly) have mentioned that rape games cannot be "justified". I think that's the core of...
