    No Right Answer: Videogame Industry's Biggest Broken Promise

    For me, Spore. I was really excited about a game about evolution, and it most certainly did not deliver on that. I didn't mind the art style becoming more cartoony, I was just disappointed in how it ended up wound up having a minimal basis in biology. It wasn't a terrible game by any means...

    Games that were Almost Great

    KOTOR 2 is the first game to come to mind. It was rushed and very buggy with a lot of planned content not included in the release. It was a very, very good game, but stopped short of being great thanks to the lack of polish and just how much near complete content was left out.

    Japanese tactical role playing games or 'Simulation RPG's'

    I am very fond of the tactical RPG genre. My favorite is the Fire Emblem series, with Path of Radiance for the Gamecube being my favorite in the series. I like the way they have big casts of units with unique personalities and how cultivating relationships between your units ("supports) gives...

    Planescape Creator Has "Kickstarter Fever" - UPDATED

    Planescape: Torment is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and Planescape is my favorite campaign setting for D&D. I've spent a lot of time reading the manuals for it just for leisure. However, I don't want to get my hopes up too much that this could result in a new game in the Planescape...

    The funniest game you´ve ever played

    It's a tie between Portal 2 and the Ace Attorney series. Portal 2 is more quotable, but the Phoenix Wright games sometimes crack me up with character design alone.

    What is your favourite game genre?

    RPGs, with adventure games being second. I enjoy a lot of games that have RPG elements but aren't necessarily traditional RPGS.

    The new Pokemon Game. WTF?

    A tactics game with Pokemon sounds like the ideal game for me. I'll be pretty upset if it doesn't get localized.

    Poll: Which generations of Pokemon do you "recognize"?

    All of them. I have my favorites, but every generation has some Pokemon I like. I prefer the huge selection we have now, especially in terms of team building. I love that it's easier for people to put together a team of Pokemon they like and be somewhat competitive than it ever has been...

    How Have Games Brought Brought You Closer Together With Someone!?

    My brother and I have often played video games together, which has made us closer and given us something to do together. Growing up, it was the NES with two controllers. Nowadays, it's usually stuff like TF2 online. Even though I often regret all my time playing it, I met several people in...

    Poll: Should Nintendo Stop Making Consoles?

    The game does require motion plus. It's very integrated into the play and it's hard to imagine how the game could work without the motion controls. For what it's worth, I think SS uses motion control in a much more fun way than TP did. The way the sword swings corresponding to the position of...

    Poll: Should Nintendo Stop Making Consoles?

    I'm currently enjoying the heck out of Skyward Sword, a game that is far better on the Wii with Motion Plus than it would be on another console. Granted, the Wii isn't perfect, but Nintendo makes games that use the hardware very well, and not just party games. So, no. Don't assume all...

    TF2 players, what class do you use the most?

    It can depend on what the situation is, but Demoman is my most played. I usually use the regular Grenade Launcher, Scottish Resistance, and the Ullapool Caber (because it's hilarious). Sniper is the second most by a small margin. I love Jarate and the Sidney Sleeper, though I occasionally...

    What do you think are the "trippiest" games?

    Rez, Child of Eden, the Katamari series, and Cubivore all come to mind.

    Poll: Which final fantasy game should I play next? (6, 8, or 9)

    Nine is my personal favorite, but six is also fantastic. While "best Final Fantasy" is a highly debated thing, I consider them to be the best in the series. They're the pinnacle rpgs of their console generations. Eight is still enjoyable, but I'd save it for last out of the three. I don't...

    So who actually completed Amnesia: The Dark Descent?

    I beat it twice. I enjoy being scared. The second time I played it to listen to the commentary, and that was far less scary overall.
