    Critical Miss: Top Five Games of 2012 #1

    I never played Thomas Was Alone so I won't disagree with your assessment. But if you love games with a powerful and emotional narrative, I have to agree with El Capitano here and say that you would probably love To The Moon. It is light on gameplay but it tells an incredibly powerful story...

    The times you thought: 'fuck this game'

    Years ago I was playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I'd played through about 2/3 of the game in an afternoon/evening and I was about to beat Over The Hill. However, I failed to notice that the current law had a ban on Missiles. In an attempt for an easy finish I had Marche regular attack the...

    The Bablefish Poetry Game.

    The first paragraph of the Wikipedia article for black holes [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hole] becomes this: The black hole anything will pass and event horizon it will fall that it will can escape after and the gravitational field to be like this is endurance of the space where it is...

    Xbox Live: What Are We Paying For?

    My exact mentality when I determined that purchasing Xbox Live was a waste of money. But then again, I'm such a cheapskate that I'm iffy about purchasing Far Cry for 9 dollars from Steam.

    Games that have been ruined by their Fans

    I think no amount of reiteration can express how much Halo's fanboys ruin the game. Far too much of the "OMG HACER U CHEET" mentality and actual quotes. I'd also like to say MapleStory. When people tell me they think it's a great game, I typically ask if they've played a different game at all...

    Games getting worse with every generation?

    The problem is that the collective gamer hive-mind is unable to properly appreciate works of art like SotC and Okami, they just want action and destruction, which Halo brings more than plenty of (in a rather idiotic and bland package, but the dumbed-down "USE SNIPER RIFLE ON ENEMY" mentality is...

    Why British Papers Hate Games

    I'm pretty sure the last time the media actually had any major impact on the world was Watergate.

    Hacking MMORPG

    It's rather difficult to do, especially since the useful functions like cancelAttack() are not available to new players right away, but it's quite fun overall.

    Games you keep as your "dark little secret"

    Have to say Baten Kaitos Origins. My friend and I are always gabbing off to random passersby about how amazing this game is in every imaginable fashion to the point where one would assume it sweats perfection. And basically it does. I played Odin Sphere. What an amazing game it was. When I...

    Hacking MMORPG

    To me this looks like it could be totally fascinating or a devastating snore-fest, depending on how well everything is implemented.

    Games that should never be a film

    Making movies from any video game is a bad idea.
