    JRPGs: truly dead and beyond revival, or is there still hope?

    The DS recently got Chrono Trigger and thats all I need to hear to be set for a long long time. They used to do these games a lot better when they created them for a niche. Now that their trying to increase their appeal to all segments of the market their essentially watering them down.

    Bioshock: Whats the love about?

    It's a good game I personally gave it an 8 out of 10. I think we all just needed an unfamiliar and original FPS at the time and when we got it we went ballistic. Not to mention the studios are not shy to buying up reviews when they put a lot of money into a game and need to ensure it is a...

    Midway out of cash by June..

    Mortal Kombat isnt the problem really since they reuse characters etc they can make the game for very little money and they sell a lot of copies. Their only in this position for backing the wrong horse. When you can make games for a quarter as much for a platform with twice the userbase...

    Midway out of cash by June..

    True it is sad but when your primary platforms are the worse selling platforms on the market and the budget for making games for those failing platforms is several times higher than the winning platforms what do you think the end result is going to be? Honestly this was seen coming from a...

    Midway out of cash by June..

    http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6207726.html Just another developer on its deathbed. It's a handful of developers near bankruptcy and there are dozens of others losing hundreds of millions. It's safe to say if this carries on their all going to be dead within a few months or years. It's not...

    Most Annoying Online Gamers

    For me it's the young kids on Xbox Live that use racial and homophobic slurs. It's the reason I game online exclusively on the PC.

    Most UN-original game?

    Halo did borrow a lot from Half Life so I can see why people would mention Halo. Having said that though when you think about new games and the games from the past nearly every single modern day game has borrowed something from an older counterpart. Some of the highest rated games this...

    Calling out people who use "gay" as a pejorative term on Xbox Live

    "Gay" is far from the only issue on Xbox Live. Have you seen the amount of racial slurs especially towards black players on that damn service? The average Live user is much younger than the average 360 owner I'd say because I run into a lot of what I'd put at between 12 and 14 year olds. It...

    Anyone else got no hardcore gaming friends?

    I know a few people who play pro level Counter Strike 1.6 and Starcraft but I don't know if theyd be called hardcore gamers. One of them is a Starcraft pro and has competed in tournaments but he treats it like a job and not a game. He hardly plays games at all actually just Starcraft...

    Xbox360 or PS3

    With the 360 I think you'd have a greater selection of AAA games but the plus side with the PS3 would be that you have better titles to look forward to in the immediate future. My personal experience is the 360 is a hell of a console but with Microsoft refusing to refund E74 error consoles...

    Poll: best of the elder scrolls games

    I doubt very many people have played Morrowind and Daggerfall or Arena so this will obviously go Oblivions way but I voted Dafferfall.

    Poll: Macs. What do you think of them?

    I work in animation and while for your average clueless dipshit a Mac is a rip off or bad for a real professional who knows something about computers the OS's software abstraction layer is a beautiful thing for workflow. For your average user though a Mac is out of the question.

    Pokemon --- What it lacks...What does it need?

    Pokemon is fine the way it is it's like reinventing Basketball. The basic formula for Pokemon must not change but an online component or an MMO with extensive customisation, many more Pokemon and good player vs player would be awesome.
