More important than all of that, you know what that absurd pile of cash can REEEEALLY afford? Psychonauts 2. After Notch withdrew his plans to fund the sequel after getting everyone riled up about it I've been extra-antsy about the idea. My very first thought upon reading the news of the buyout...

Oh Christ, I've heard waaaay too many of Jim's podcasts. My first thought upon reading that very first paragraph was "Whaaaat! Jim's dad wouldn't do that, he was some sort of absentee dickhead in Germany!" because I have a weirdly detailed knowledge of his childhood now, apparently. In my...

It wasn't obvious that the guy in front was the hero and the guy sitting on the statue's crotch was the villain? This is the exact same dynamic they used in the cover for Far Cry 3, with Jason Brody buried up to his nose in the beach and Vaas knelt over him.

This looks absurdly like My Kind Of Thing. An exploration based game where you bumble around being a goofy, videogamey bear and eating everything? And you fight bigfoot? And there's some sort of mysterious, mystical bear lodge? Count me in.

That's a bit of a letdown to be honest. Were it some other stealth game, I would be quite excited at such a serious and grounded approach to espionage and stealth, but since it's Metal Gear... Enh. This is a series that has an electro-punching Russian man in a giant mecha tank, a guy that...

So, I just now discovered that multiplayer in FF6 is a thing that exists (and it's now a thing that I NEED TO DO) and was honestly pretty blown away by that. What about the rest of you? Any moments likes this? any weird things about a favourite game that you didn't find out about until after...

As someone with Aspergers, I found playing Auti-Sim pretty accurate to my experiences. I never had it quite that intense ( though this is obviously more of a typical Autistim simulator), but it was fairly close. Being close to the loud noises and interacting with the source was actually...

So, yeah. Due to some random difficulties, we're going to be using Steam voice chat instead of Skype. My Steam ID is Poerts.

Hey all. I recently started running a 4th Edition shadowrun game with a few players from my regular IRL D&D games via Skype. We've been running them as random pickups when everyone has some spare time in the evenings (or late nights, depending) and I was thinking that it might be fun to draft in...

If only Japanese Devs released games on the PC. I'm going to grab either the WiiU or PS4 just so I can play some Japanese developed games. I really miss their unique quirks and design-styles when I play only Western ones, as much I love them. If it wasn't for the Japanese dislike for the PC, I...

I am entirely in love with this game, but it flew right under my radar until I randomly ran into a gameplay video for it a day before release. It is such an intense, horrifying game, and (for a zombie survival game, at least) is fairly polished. At the moment, I'm tentatively calling it my...

See, now, if this ran those Steam games with it's actual hardware instead of streaming them? And you could play even those same games anywhere? Even at mid-range settings? That would be awesome. 350 bucks for a portable gaming PC would be fucking astounding. A high-end android phone without the...

Dang. The first few posts here were really well thought-out and damn helpful. Thanks, internet. Probably gonna go for the 3DS. Anyone else commenting here is invited to abandon courtesy and common sense and begin screaming mindlessly at each other over juvenile console-wars bullshit. Godspeed.

So... I'm kind of poor at the moment, but have at least enough to consider getting at least one of the two Current-Gen handhelds... Soul Sacrifice has me seriously considering a Vita, but so far, I'm reeeeeally not seeing much else to play on the damn thing. I could download old PSP games on it...

I am excitement, I am entirely excitement. One of the most common thoughts going through my head while playing the Witcher 2 was "Wow, this is awesome, if only the world didn't feel so cramped", and it seems like they've got that solved up just fine. Some of the bigger environments in these...
