So today I went to a used game store and saw this Factor 5 game system for $20, which runs Factor 5 games and classic NES titles. Let me say now that I've never played NES games before, especially since my first console was a Playstation 1. I was like, "Sweet, sounds like a good deal,"...

Since I've moved off to college, my mom and stepdad got me my own 360 as a birthday/Christmas/Hanukkah (I'm not actually Jewish, but my stepsiblings are, so I like to pretend)/Easter/everything present, and then three weeks later when I came home for winter break the older Xbox 360 250G I bought...

We're coming up on the 10-year anniversaries of two of my all-time favorites, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (released 2003) and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (2002). Considering the popularity of The Old Republic, I think it would be a smart move on BioWare's part to release a...

It depends on the game. In Skyrim, for instance, I've worked more on side quests than the campaign. Also, in Assassin's Creed (if it's considered a "sandbox" game it's very small compared to others) I've worked on all the side bits like buying shops and training assassins. However, the story is...

I'm sorry, that was my bad, I was comparing BioWare's party system to the OP's description of Mount & Blade: Warband, not Skyrim. I was lazy and didn't look back to his post to check for the title. My fault.

Either of the Knights of the Old Republic games, though a big reason for me is the storyline. It's one of my favorite campaigns with characters I adore, especially Kreia in The Sith Lords. The combat isn't hugely innovative, but considering BioWare put out Dragon Age: Origins just a few years...

I think BioShock might be worth buying just because I'm very interested in BioShock Infinite and while I think it's a mostly different story, I'm sure it will tie in somehow and I'd like to appreciate that more by having played the other games. However, that's a more eccentric desire and you're...

I'm unfortunately not a very big Nintendo gamer, out of practicality rather than preference. I wanted a Nintendo 64 for Christmas 1999, but they sold out, so my parents got us a PlayStation instead, so I never got around to playing a lot of Nintendo's big franchises like Zelda and Metroid. While...

I've never played the RPG you mentioned, but the party system seems very similar to BioWare's usual RPG formula, especially in Dragon Age, which has the very same confrontations between companions that could lead to approval from one and dissent from the other. I do believe that character...

The Flame Lurker in Demons Souls. I had to smoke so much weed to get through that boss. What, he's eating those plants to regain health, not smoking them? This is news to me.

Despite every Google search on the Xbox 360's backward compatability not even listing "Morrowind" amongst the compatible titles, sure enough, "Elder Scrolls III" runs just fine. What's more, it saves onto the 360, even though I read no original Xbox games could. I have two theories: 1.) It's...

If graphics really gave Sony an edge over Nintendo for unit sales, both the Wii and the DS wouldn't have been outselling them for years. As someone who owns neither, from an outside perspective, I'm more interested in the 3DS. Their titles I'm familiar with as handheld games, anyway, whereas...

I'd say Oblivion is still worth checking out if you want a preview of what "Skyrim" might be like. After all these years, its age is showing, but if you've ever played a "Fallout" game, it should be easy enough to pick up, though this is an even more expansive open world. But my copy's glitch as...

You drive home a solid point, but I've been disconnected from the Nintendo product ever since I finally got my hands on a 360. Watching Nintendo's spotlight on G4, however, piqued my interest for a lot of their upcoming titles for the Wii and 3DS, so in general, I want to be more involved in...

"Assassin's Creed: Revelations" comes out four days later, too, and that was my main interest for the year until I watched the "Skyrim" demo on G4. Honestly, I don't know how I'm going to make it through the fall. Hopefully I can finish "Dark Souls" in the month before "Skyrim" and "Revelations"...
