    RPGs Should Ditch the Stats

    Actually, I sort of agree, after a fashion. Obviously with it being a game, theres always going to be numbers in the background, but I like the idea of an rpg where your skills and abilities grow more naturally, rather than assigning points to them (which always felt a little jarring to me)...

    Will The Elder Scrolls 5 use project NATAL?!

    I'm gonna join the unpopular side of the argument ant say yes, I think it would be absolutely fantastic. However, two problems: 1. The combat system would need to be revamped and improved to fit the control scheme, with the physics and collisions etc. 2. Bethesda, they make great...

    Valve Considering "Cross-Play" Between Left 4 Dead and L4D2

    The sequel does seem very similar to the original I'll grant you, but I can't seem to understand why people are complaining that they're paying money for a new game rather than the same amount of cash for DLC. Valve have gone for the optimum solution here. L4D2 being a separate game means people...

    Poll: Is Left 4 Dead better off with or without story?

    The game is probably better without it, as it'd be a little annoying to be thrown into the start of a campign straight after all the stress of the last one. But it would have been cool to see how the survivors met, even if just through some concept art slideshows or short cut-scenes (the l4d...

    Poll: Video Game Scores, a broken system

    Yes, they do. But only if they're backed up by a written review. i'd never judge a game on score alone, but the overall review can put me off a game.

    Poll: Graphics make the game?

    Al of the aspects of the game have to work together. I loved crysis, but mainly for the gameplay and the characters (and throwing people through walls). That said most of Crysis' 'rewards' for completing a mission are huge explosions or visual treats which would be ruined if the graphics weren't...

    Who's the next world superpower?

    In theory. It's all very well until people realise that the guy doing hardly any work is getting just as much as you for it. Then the whole thing breaks down because people lose motivation. Then you have the problem of corruption... I'm not saying that full-on capitalism is the best way...

    Why I don't like piracy: a software developer's thoughts.

    I agree entirely OP. And as for Spore, there is no way anyone can say 'I pirated it because of DRM', DRM is only there because people pirated games in the first place. No-one pirated Spore to make a point against DRM, they pirated because they wanted to play it, and didn't want to pay. EA not...

    Another mediocre game that doesn't deserve the attention (Force Unleashed)

    I think the problem is that you wanted a different game, something more like KoTOR where you can 'choose your path' and all that. It was designed to be a fun game to mess around on with a (reportedly) good storyline and there's no way multiplayer would have worked... Not that I'm gonna buy...

    Is Google Planning To Buy Valve?

    Valve must have been approached to sell loads of times by now, and they haven't. They're not about to sell up to Google, who have no previous history in games and just want Steam.

    I need some good book recommendations......

    I know The hitchhikers guide has already mentioned, but if not that, there's always the Dirk Gently series.
