For combat it makes sense to be stealthy by default. But I think too much balls-out action can ruin a stealth game. Anyone remember the jungle section in the first Hitman game?

I'm really not convinced that the games gamers love will actually work on this system. Remember the Eye Toy on PS2? Exactly. It doesn't matter how fancy the tech is, or how much fun you have the first week you get it. The games are all that will matter. I predict that it creates a niche...

Pedant pedant Pedantpedant pedantpedant pedaaaaaant ped-ant (to the tune of the Pink Panther). Plus you're wrong. The things which I refer to as being wrong are the media created, rather than the acts which they depict. That should be clear based on the context, to anybody with a reading age...

Things you'd like to see in Left 4 Dead 2, whether you play the first game or not. + Occasional zombie-tracker pickup, used in place of main weapon, for balance + A vehicle level or two (with several blockages needing manual clearing, crescendo style) + Bandit-type human enemies +...

How do you mean? In the best way of any game ever? Fanboyism aside, I do think they were extremely well judged for the game it is, it feels perfect. What's your zombie poison? Night of the Living Dead shamblimg zombies? "You gotta shoot em in the head" zombies?

I don't understand all the "What? Already!" reactions to his. It's just a teaser lads, it's not as if the game will be in shops next week. I'm interested to see how the melee weapons are implemented. Will they take damage? Will the chainsaw need petrol? How will it affect the Vs mode, which...

Here's why they blame games. (They meaning hack journalists) I'm a assuming a *lot*, just for argument. Most adults don't play games. Most kids eventually stop playing games. Most people who do play games as adults are more up to speed with technology. If you're up to speed with...

Even if it's simulated, some things are wrong, and shouldn't be transmitted in a free society. If I make propaganda that depicts a minority as debased animals who need to be killed, I shouldn't be allowed broadcast or distribute it. Likewise, if I make something which, while produced...

Oh, fighting games can be so frustrating. Although if I'm among friends and we're having a winner-stays-on session, it's not uncommon to, rather than handing the controller, throw it at the next persons balls, if they're sitting right. Although Fight Night on PS3 gets people more worked up...

I'd agree with you on that. It did make it feel a bit like half a game. I imagine it was a case of Valve realising how much playtesting is necessary to ensure the VS mode doesn't fuck up. Bad spawns for Vs, etc). I'd say it takes a long time to get a Vs mode ready as opposed to a campaign mode...

I lived in a house that had all of the Big 3 consoles. The 360 ruled over the others. The Wii got taken out when people were drunk. The PS3 really just gathered dust. Some would say that movie lovers would prefer the PS£, because of Blue Ray and crap. In my experience, you can get a lot...

I like to listen to the pope's christmas mass, but backwards, with a phaser effect added, and maybe some flange. It works well for Nintendogs. Other than that, I don't usually listen to music while playing games unless it's something like Civilization. Anything more engaging than that, and...

Shan't. Although the fact that shots from the game are actually spliced directly into death scenes in the film might be a giveaway.

They made a game of the film? As for the possibility of gaining a foothold in the console market, I don't know. How would you make a dent in the current market? Nintendo pulled it out of the bag with the Wii, so maybe they're hoping to make a similar departure, with a new level of...

I'm wracking my brains trying to think of a good visual to go along with my slogan: "I gave away a free t-shirt design to a private company who sells it for $19 a pop!" PANTS-ON-HEAD RETARDED been taken.
