    The Escapist Presents: The Escapist On: Griefing

    There's an anti-social section of society which comes out in online gaming thanks to its anonymity, bias towards the experienced player, and lack of actual consequence. Much of what keeps humans in check are the penalties for doing wrong. Nobody wants to get locked up, or worse. Games...

    Home Of The Underdogs Goes Under

    That's a damn shame. I loved HOTU. I hope the code / site can be resurrected elsewhere some day. Nowhere else was a patch on it.

    Zero Punctuation: Thief: The Dark Project

    I love thief. I'm playing Deadly Shadows now. I think you were a little harsh on it btw. It feels very similar to the original, but works without having to re-wire my dual-core PC with wet string and spit. If Thief 3 has one problem, it's the ledge-'pull-up'-detection and getting stuck on...

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

    Awesome review. Strange how it was 40% bashing the game, 60% bashing George Lucas ;). Anyone who's seen Spaced will understand the frustration we ALL feel at that 'tard of a director, and the foetid sputum he's forced us to watch in Eps 1-3. I too was hoping that Force Unleashed would stick...

    Zero Punctuation: Painkiller

    I haven't laughed so hard in ages. If ever a review hit the nail on the head, this is it. Played Painkiller recently and absolutely loved every minute of it. Awesome levels, especially the last one which even had my game-o-phobic girlfriend saying "that's pretty cool". AWESOME...
