I think PC gaming is far from dead, and I don't mean in terms of casual gaming and MMOs. Look at the sales that Valve just released for all of their games at retail. Obviously not every company can do as well as Valve, but with the Orange Box selling 3 million world wide on PC just at retail I...

I'm disheartened that none of this gave me any idea what sort of smell the game will have. We all know what the first thing Certis and Fletcher do when they get home with a new game.

He also said that about Mercenaries 1 and 2 and probably 20 other games. You can't fool me Russell!

Actually, if it weren't for GWJ I wouldn't be reading the escapist, so I have to thank GWJ for that. I also have to thank GWJ for having a wicked podcast, great front page articles and a great community, though I haven't been as active over there as I should.

Being one of them guitar playin fellas (I just had a jam with some friends a couple hours ago, and my names purple haze after the Jimi Hendrix song) I'm gonna say that I agree and disagree. Although it doesn't feel the same as really playing guitar, or really playing drums, I find it better not...

Surprisingly that's almost the exact image I had in my head of what you looked liked from listening to gwj/escapist radio.

I've only played the first couple of hours of the game at a friends house and I liked it, but it didn't seem as mind blowing as the reviews might make me think (luckily I hadn't ready any so I didn't expect much). My problem with the reviews though, is more to do with how people usually review...

The boxhead link on the first page isn't working for me.

I think that EA is definitely showing signs of change, all though the recent Battlefield Bad Company downloadable weapons was a step back. But being such a big company means it takes a long time to change things around, but publishing games like Skate, Rock Band, Crysis and the Orange Box is...

That was really good. I don't think it was too short and for two pages it sure had a lot of character to it and brilliant build up.

That is one of the best articles I have ever read. Sean Sands, you amaze me!

When I left the theater after watching Beowulf my first thought was "did I like that or not?" After more thought I came to the conclusion that it must be exactly average or something, because I just couldn't really figure it out.

FF VII is my favorite game of all time. I think a couple of your points aren't entirely relevant though. It was my first Final Fantasy, but the main things that I really liked about it were the plot, characters and materia system. Your complaints about the story I can understand but your two...

Master Chief is easily the worst dressed character in my opinion. Green is so 3 years ago.

Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game of all time, but these guys were hardcore. The problem with all role playing is that one shitty role player ruins it all.
