    8 Reasons Link Is Relevant After 28 Years

    Not even very well researched - Link's Awakening doesn't take place in Hyrule and predates Majora's Mask by about seven years...it's also a much better game.

    GDC 2011: First Look at Jurassic Park Gameplay

    This looks like the sort of game that gets the 3% scores in PC Gamer - I mean do the people who made this even play video games? The original Source engine looks about 1000x better than this game and it's almost seven years old! Yes graphics aren't everything but at least get SOMEONE who has...

    Preview: Magic the Gathering Tactics

    Can't see paying $4 per booster working out here - on Magic Online, the only thing that keeps the secondary market going is the promise of being able to redeem the digital cards for paper equivalents if you collect a whole set. Since this doesn't even use the same cards that's clearly not an...

    PC Players Not Getting New BioShock 2 DLC

    Funny how this works in the complete opposite way for Valve, in that their console players get the shaft whilst PC gamers bask in free DLC and continuous support.

    Quick Time Redux

    Shenmue, the first game I played with QTEs in, made it work. It also had places to practice your QTEs in the arcades - the QTE boxing game was cool.

    Escape to the Movies: Inception

    For everyone saying "this film ripped off XYZ" bear in mind Nolan's been working on the script for nine years according to Wikipedia... The comparison to The Matrix is pretty good since this film probably also contains the best action/fight scene since the Government Lobby.

    Seventh Doctor to Play Bilbo Baggins?

    In the books, Frodo is 33 when Bilbo is 111. But in the books 17 years pass between the Long-Expected Party and Gandalf returning to tell Frodo that he's in possesion of the One Ring - something which was skated over in the film. Bilbo was 50 when he went on his adventure.

    Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

    Penumbra: Black Plague (or Overture, whichever was the first one...) used the "running away" element pretty well, but only by making you completely crap at fighting. Still, pretty scary with the headphones on an lights out.

    Question of the Day, April 26, 2010

    Where's the "I've already seen it" option - it's been out for weeks in the UK

    No respect for Grocery store workers

    Sorry, why should they waste their (free) time when it's part of your job to tell people where things are? Sure they should be polite and courteous about it. Also, I don't know what things are like where you are, but in the UK supermarkets re-layout their stores what seems to be every week in...

    Crysis 2 Writer: Halo is "Full of Bullsh*t"

    Did everyone else play through the Halo series with their eyes and ears blocked off or something? It has a great story if you take the time to pay attention. The Monitor in the original Halo gives plenty of backstory if you listen to him as he hovers around. In Halo 2 the Gravemind gives more...

    Yahtzee vs. the JRPG

    I've not played a Final Fantasy since IX (not having owned a PS2 or been remotely interested in MMOGs) but nothing has come close to VII for me yet. I loved pretty much every aspect - the storyline is big, complex and interesting (and even has room for two completely optional characters). The...

    Your Favorite Game Soundtrack?

    Grandia II has an amazing soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYIDqzTt0w4&feature=PlayList&p=A78E4846A0F3C3AE&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1 Brilliant range of stuff from the guitar-driven battle themes to beautiful classical pieces like the one in the link. Also Final...

    SCAIREST HORROR MOVIE EVER!!!

    If this film doesn't scare you, I don't know what will: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105643/ Nothing can prepare you for the abominations which lurk within. And yes, I've actually watched it. My mind is forever stained with the sheer horror of it. EDIT: This one's pretty frightening...
