So Beast Wars... my favorite incarnation of the Transformers universe. Groundbreaking 3D animation for its time. End of the first season in the last episode...two characters who...while not as plot-important as Megatron and Optimus, are killed in 6 seconds of screen time. They got a LOT more...

You know, Heroes of Might and Magic III had a campaign that was predictable if you played it over and over again, yet it was one of the most masterfully crafted games of it's time and IP. Is Warlock 2 = HOMMIII? No. But I would not judge Warlock 2 so harshly just because it's one campaign mode...

"I'd rather just sell people sprites and cut out the whole 'game' middle man. Now who wants to buy a picture of a silly white fox? They're on sale at 75% off today, only $25!

In the future we can harness the power of the land, sea and the very atom itself! ....still working on those little white dots for the city limits.

You fire a 9mm round at the Mafia Thug The Round pierces his upper left torso. The round fractures his rib The round fractures his left lung The Mafia Thug is having trouble breathing

Is it more or less sexist to wish they'd put out the next beach volleyball title instead of this. I'm all about the boobs but don't really find it attractive when the girls are beating the crap out of each other.

If he follows in Maxis's footsteps and remakes their old games for modern times...and does them well. I shall follow. That said, I don't know *exactly* how much of 5imCity's failure is his fault vs. Executive meddling, so I'll wait for the reviews on his first work before taking the dive.

I just set up a retro gaming section in my man-cave. Among them are my Wii and PS2. With JUST those two systems, I'm able to play PS1 and Gamecube games... That means I can enjoy classics like FFVII or Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door without having owned the PS1 or Gamecube. This allows me...

I bet it looks like a giant enemy crab.

I didn't feel like upgrading to a 3DS....until Pokemon X/Y was announced. Now I'm upgrading. The Wii U has no such thing to make me budge.

Bioware had complete CREATIVE control. Development deadlines are not part of the "Creativity" so when EA gave them a release date, Bioware was forced to rush their game and get 'creative' with the ending rather than flesh it out better if they had more time. Lie of omission. EA is good at this.

If you reverse the two headline prices... 5imCity for Free and EUIII for $32... EUIII would still be the better deal of the two.

Pssst... the DRM isn't the thing we're shouting about anymore (at least not primarily) Once we were able to get INTO the game itself and past the servers... we found a broken and unfinished product that was bad regardless of the DRM used. Get with the times.

I want to know about the Giant Enemy Crab. Will we be able to attack its weak point for massive damage?

This looks like the only thing that could tear me away from Crusader Kings II (another paradox title).
