Am I the only one who was surprised that (L)ink didn't show up?

1. It comes across as if you're saying that because you didn't personally like 5th-gen Armored Core, the series is now an extension of the Souls games in gameplay style. 2. Even ignoring that impression, you're applying "I don't understand the new game" as a reason to dislike it. ACs in...

I can't honestly say that EA are a great company, but I can honestly say that Ubisoft Support is quite emphatically and significantly worse than EA Help. That doesn't make EA Help look good in the grand scheme of things, but it puts into perspective that it could be worse. Also, I've recently...

There are ways to approach XCOM which neatly sidestep the need to save-scum. Things like building up TWO good squads, and always bringing a couple of lower-ranked guys into each mission, and making a point to rush out the satellites early on. If you're playing on Impossible, a bit of bad...

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but there's a problem with the complaints (both from Yahtzee and others) about Mirror's Edge. I hate to have to say this, but if you can't tell where your feet are in Mirror's Edge, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. The game LETS YOU SEE YOUR BODY WHEN YOU LOOK...

Two points about Syndicate's "Breaching" system (they don't call it hacking): 1. There are a few moments where, if you bothered getting used to using the system, it made some fights a LOT easier, and was a MUCH more efficient and rewarding way to win the fight. Problem was that the level...

Time to call people out on their misinformation (this comment will contain potentially MAJOR spoilers - I'll keep them as generic as possible though) You DON'T destroy EUROCORP. You destroy the Eurocorp HQ - there's still plenty of Eurocorp assets/products/other stuff around. You also kill...

Pretty sure saying Space Marine is like Gears of War is just repeating the Infamous/Prototype debate - Totally different games, with enough similarity in the premise that nobody's going to let it go. Also, "Gears of Warhammer" is just too easy a line for most websites to pass up, even when it...

I'm more good at that because everyone else i've played against is bad at it. Don't have anyone around who plays enough to learn the tricks.

Personally, I didn't find that Fallout 3 caught my imagination as well as it really should have. I'd loved the first 2, and while it was good, it just... didn't make me lose myself in its story. Rather like Mirror's Edge for the real feeling of caring about the world you're in, honestly...

I won't be the one to do it, but I'll watch and see how long until you get argued with on that point.

REALLY depends on the game. In Dragon Age, I liked having the variety of options for my character, and it would have been hell to provide even two voices (male and female) for each race and class combination, let alone giving players a selection. In a game where your character is more...

Isn't that like playing God of War without killing anyone? Good luck....

One Must Fall: 2097 OLD 2D fighting game about giant robots and their pilots. I'm still awesome at it. Resistance: Fall of Man. Don't like Resistance 2 as much - they gave you a weapon limit. Never got around to buying it because of how much that annoyed me, so haven't played online...

Crouching in real life lets you hide behind obstacles which would otherwise not hide you, reduces your visible profile, making you harder to spot, and it encourages less noisy movement. Having a "silent walk" mode in a stealth game would be nice sometime though. A couple of less conventional...
