    An RTS that plays like chess

    Depends on the person, though for me, its correct, I love S:TW but absolutely hate R:TW. I have tried over and over again to like it but cannot, now its on the shelf gathering dust. To me, its because of a massive increase in complexity for no reason, a 100 page manual, or a terribly slow...

    Red Alert 3

    Lost all its value when EA took over and forced Tiberium sun to be released before completion. Still, im going to end up buying the game if they release it on the console, C&C is one of few good, well executed console RTS.

    Best Game Quote

    Fable 2: You are now famous enough to use the "Kiss My Arse" expression not exactly a plot wise quote, but I still found it hilarious.

    AutoSave

    Supreme Commander that bloody game, a good chunk of the objectives involve you escorting large amount of trucks that die if anything simply looks at them funny, and your only allowed to lose about 1/4 of them before you lose. Then considering the fact that the levels in the game last for...

    Aww Crap

    Today, whilst playing C&C3 KW quick match on X-Box, Marked of Kane(me) vs. GDI a while in he managed to get a MARV out (it's a godly, nigh impossible to kill tank), and I didn't have nearly enough firepower to take it down. Screw that idea, waited for the MARV (and most of his army) to go...

    Serious question regarding consoles.

    Trust me, it takes about an hour or two to get used to the new controller, I still play my PS2 often and effortlessly switch between them. £40 (im in Europe) a year is pretty much nothing for the gold account, and considering Xbox games are generally cheaper than their PS3 equivalent, that...

    Zero Punctuation: Mercenaries 2

    The NPC helicopter section was godlike, unhelpful, but fucking funny

    Near-Death Experiences

    When I was 7 years old (I think, It was a long time ago) at a swimming pool, I couldn't swim at the time and managed to jump right into the deep end without my parents nearby, Ironically just deep enough so I could reach the ground and jump just far enough to get my head above water level...

    Poll: what annoys you most in a game

    Personally, I hate escort missions, particularly because 95% of them are terribly executed and in turn difficult for the wrong reasons. I suppose QTE are the worst on my vote, but im lucky enough to somehow manage to dodge games with them. Also copy and paste your post into word, spell...

    Games That Were Wrongly Ignored.

    Team Buddies for the PS1. Far from perfect and plenty of little problems to pick at, but all in all, it's a great game. Always thought it was one of the most underappreciated gems in gaming.

    Music with your gaming

    Only two times I have done it, first was playing Kameo just to try it out, but the music in the game was fitting so I stopped it. Second time was playing Dead rising attempting to alleviate the boredom of getting 50k (or something) kills for the achievement, also to turn off that bloody...

    Worst videogame betrayal

    One of my friend's (and by friend in this case I mean cousin who I don't really like and only allow into my house because he is family and im too generous) asked to burrow one of my games and letting me burrow one of his, he leaves comes back 20 minutes later, having traded it in and bought...

    Good RTS

    This is why I didn't like Rome total war, its too tedious for me to enjoy, what was wrong with the way Shogun worked, simple, buildings / units, choose your forces carefully and engage when ready. I took around 15 minutes to prepare some 5 cities for a single turn in Rome it was so confusing...

    Good RTS

    C&C3 was a good console RTS, for once one that is user friendly and easy to play, but the game itself isn't that good. 1: Resources: more than 1, preferably 2-3 sets, 4 if your pushing it (Age of mythology) 5 is too much, having a limited set of resources means the game wont go to the side...
