Mass Effect 3.

Good writing.

Drew Karpyshyr. His absence completely nullifies the artistic integrity rationale for preserving the ending. It's like Stephanie Meyer coauthored Two Towers and wrote Return of the King.

I've heard that name too, but only in conjunction with Walters. So maybe two writers should get the axe?

Mac Walters is the only one that really deserves it. He's the one who took the franchise away from its original direction, he's the one who wrote the ending, he's probably the one responsible for the little kid fiasco. He used his position of head writer to bypass the peer review process that...

The powder keg has been slowly filling ever since the Kane and Lynch scandal, and ME 3 was like throwing a molotov at it. I for one couldn't be happier that gamers are actually standing up to the way the industry has been acting, and hope to see some closures in the gaming press (GIN and G4...

In my experience, videogames are about the worst thing to get excited about, but I do have my eye on this one.

The focus on graphics and flashiness is the problem, not superior graphics themselves. For example, the last three Elder Scrolls games have looked progressively better, but general consensus is that overall game quality dipped with Oblivion and shot back up with Skyrim. The reason for this is...

That's all the more reason for you to agree with the OP. Russian Rubles will get the job done too. I have a friend who bought ME 3 and BF 3 that way for about that price.

There's two things I've learned today. I logged about 20 or 30 hours of Touhou before I discovered slow movement.

I don't often get loading times that justify multitasking, but I read during Shogun 2 coop campaigns. When I was playing EVE online I spent a lot of time browsing Danbooru while I waited for enemies' tanks to break.

The same sex relationships were botched pretty badly, which I saw coming when Bioware made a big deal out of announcing it. So many NPCs exist seemingly for the sole purpose of being gay; Cortez being the most blatant example. With the exception of squadmates, NPC's personal lives were...

Here I was thinking that it would be because the ads contain no in game footage, only pre-rendered scenes made specifically for the ads. It would be like a movie trailer made from other movies.

Google Docs has a better survey app than that site and it's free. I recommend using Docs whenever possible, the online storage is a life saver. As for your project, old age is a protected status under US discrimination laws. I don't know the name, but there was a Supreme Court case about it...

Since when has IGN gotten flak for rating games too low? I think the gaming press in general is held in pretty low esteem, especially when it comes to reviews. While fanboyism does play a part, the fact that publishers get nearly all their revenue from the companies whose products they...
