The Farcry series breaks my heart. Incredible tech, great core gameplay huge marketing budget. Yet made by one of the blandest cookie cutter developers out there with repetitive missions, bad writing and not enough nerve to actually follow through with the dark controversial topics they mention...

The answer is April Ryan in The Longest Journey. Any other answer is wrong.

He didn't even finish the prologue? My God. Someone tell this man about what a Difficulty Slider is stat!

The Thames was an open sewer in Victorian/Georgian times. Look up the origin of the phrase Big Stink. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Stink

Any song is art. Any painting is art. Any game is art. Any creative work is art. But art does not necessarily mean good.

Well I think the reason that Halo 3 never went to PC was that when Halo 2 arrived, two and a half years late, without any hype or marketing push it was pretty badly panned. Gamespot, for example gave the xbox version 94% and gave the Vista version 70%. I do think the first Halo was a...

Well the game seemed to have lost a Atton Rand love line for the ladies out there. Also I felt the approach to romance and party relationships was much better than the average Bioware game. Especially Kriea's bizarre militant mothering and Visas' obsession with you and talking about being...

I said at the time of the leak the website had been silent for almost a year. Hmmm, not sure if I'm allowed to by Escapist to host what is arguably piracy. But you're a big strong boy with Google to hand so I'm sure you would find it if you wanted to. So in that case I'll add it to the OP...

Today I found a leaked version of the Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords Restoration Project (Or KOTOR2TSLRP for short) from June 2008. For those who don't know this was a game which saw a three month cut in it's development time due to Lucas Arts being an idiot. As a result when...

Shakespeare WAS liberal/left wing. Just look at the anti-antisemitism of Merchant of Venice.

Well if you mean the insane Mass Effect thing then its uproar was because of its liberal, so corruptive, view on sexuality. Well I'd argue they reflect a perceived conservative trend in the audience who would not be able to accept or understand an alternate culture.

Well I'm British but I know the audience for here is predominantly American so I used Republicans rather than just conservatives. Like wise most games seem to be set in America or at least with predominatly cast so using the American two party made sense. It's probably closer to the...

Are computer games the last right wing medium? I was listening to the audio commentary for The Armando Iannucci Shows when Armando brought up an interesting point. He claims that the theater, books, movies, television and high art are all predominantly left wing. Certainly in terms of how they...

If you're coming all up in here trying to tell us Mass Effect is the best RPG then I command you to play KOTOR 2 before you post. Both funnier and scarier than Mass ever managed and has the greatest video game villain ever. My vote is torn between Kotor 2 and Anachranox. Also Bioshock is a...
