Yahtzee. Play Evil Genius.

Me? Give money to EA? I think not.

Yesyesyesyesyes. Kane, definitely.

Mm, pointless taboo relating to sex. Honestly, people, these people are people, and I can vouch for them because I'm an arse-bandit myself, and if I'm going to be perfectly honest, yes, we do feel the need to say it more than a heterosexual will outright say he is a heterosexual - because it's...

Heh, nice to hear people still like the board games, though! Curiously, my college has seen an explosion of people playing chess of all games. It's great!

I'd rather play Warhammer than WoW (but I'm not giving money to EA or Blizzard respectively), simply because Warhammer actually has a really nice background and setting, which WoW stole liberally from.

The sheer concept of that gave me a slight giggle as well as a faint chill. I'm not entirely sure I like where this technology's going.

Excellent, more splenetic juices erupted upon the tawdry corpse of Spore. I agree with everything that "Mr. Yahtzee" as we're apparently now calling him on everything - although to be perfectly honest, I was expecting him to hate it more.

It's the year 2000. Deep in a subterranean Maxis bunker, game designer Will Wright and his team began work on what was to be heralded as one of the most anticipated games of all time. Concieved as a working title, Spore was originally named SimEverything, another addition to the murky depths of...

Well, I like to say that reviews don't affect my buying habits, but that would probably be a total lie. Yahtzee is the obvious one that I'll "listen" to, though mainly for the good games. I'm going to acquire Psychonauts at some point, for example. And my friends, both online and real life, tend...

Personally, I found Oblivion too generic... and there's a point where "open-world" gets in the way of the whole thing, where the world is in danger and you can merrily waltz off to steal from people's houses, commit the odd regicide, storm a dungeon, blah-de-blah, and the world will be in the...
