Uh-uh. They can come back to me once they've managed to make GFWL not suck. Oh yeah, and it'd be nice if they dropped the concole exclusives and at least tried to port their games right. What I mean is, talk is cheap and they've done very little so far to deserve my trust. Until then I'll...

The problem isn't that it's over or underpowered. I was there when they made the pyro's backburner a +50HP, no falloff beast of a weapon and I dealt with it just fine until they (rightly) nerfed it. The problem is that they are taking these super-rare, cosmetic-only items (which I'm fine with...

This is what worries me the most. I would only be minorly bothered if it were, as all the fanboys are claiming, a way to make money off the impatient and if it had no effect on gameplay other than delaying unlocks, but consider the following: They added "item sets" for all 5 of the packs that...

OP, you seem pretty set on getting that beast of a computer, and of course it's your money to spend as you please, but I have to add my voice to the people telling you that that is just complete overkill (especially for Starcraft 2, Civ 5 and Diablo 3, the first of which I can close to max out...

Easy, I'll just make it big, round and red, and label it as "SECRET EVIL LAIR SELF-DESTRUCT BUTTON". That way the hero will set it off himself and I can taunt him from my rotating chair while petting my cat. Yeah, I'm a bit old-fashioned that way.

Eeeeh, they're welcome to try it if they like, but I don't think you'll find a lot of PC players lining up to buy it. CE was, compared to most other shooters on the platform, uninspired and somewhat run of the mill, but it was competent enough, I guess. At least worth the bargain bin price I...

So gents, how long do you reckon it's gonna take before, say, the auto industry or school textbook printers start clamoring for their slice of the second-hand market? Mr. Castle needs to get rid of this ridiculous sense of entitlement. He is not entitled any kind of control over what people...

I'm seconding this. Getting hit by an $88 million bill sucks (and is excessive, mostly in the sense that she's never going to pay it off and Blizz knows this), but this lady brought it upon herself. Reverse engineering the server code to host your own private servers, with all the copyright...

Jedi Knight, no questions asked. It just pains me so much to see LucasArts sit on such an awesome IP and release mediocre cash-ins instead (Empire at War, I'm looking at you).

Agreed 100%. I built the rig (mobo, GPU, power supply, everything that goes in the actual case. 4850 with a beefy dual core and 2gigs of RAM) I'm currently posting on for <500 euros 2 years ago and it still runs most games on medium-high settings at 1600*900 just fine so I really have no idea...

To be fair, I'd bet some cold hard cash that they're (mostly) doing this in order to get more people to use Steam. Valve pockets a pretty substantial commission on every sale they make through steam (I can't recall where or when I saw it, but some indie dev said it was around 30%), so it's...

"Forgiving" is quite the understatement. I still can't fathom why anyone would give LucasArts a pass for all of their frankly shitty games (Ugh, Empire at War) when they are sitting on such a GOLDMINE of beloved franchises everyone would sell their grandmas to see revived. Where's the Jedi...

I think that such a game would be pretty tiresome to play, to be honest. Valve's dev commentaries (especially L4D's) are littered with comments on the importance of pacing and how to best alternate between tension-building, action and wind-down periods. L4D's not strict horror per se, but I...

n-thing the "WTF where is TF2" sentiment. Best multiplayer shooter I've ever played.

How come nobody mentioned F-Zero GX yet? Even to seasoned players the cups are pretty challenging on the highest difficulty so long as you're not cheesing them with the über-racers you can build... But the story missions. Oh sweet merciful christ the story missions. Mission 7 on Very Hard is so...
