For God's sake. It's amazing that so many people don't get this. *ahem. Reverb voice on* DEUS EX'S STORY IS NEITHER ABOUT AUGMENTATION OR CONSPIRACIES. IT IS ABOUT WHERE THOSE TWO THINGS MEET: THE DISTRIBUTION OF POWER. In particularly, DX1 is about what happens when one man (Bob Page)...

*Sees Reaper Hanar* Now we know where Metroids came from.

I like to think that on a whole we've just finished a golden age of gaming lasting from 1985 - 2005 (roughly), but on a personal level my favorite years where the time period from 1997 - 1999. In that three year period more 'best game evar!' candidates came out than any other. Most of these...

Well that's just awesome. It looks like they're continuing to the 'Armor Wars'-esque story from Iron Man 2. Looks like Uncle Sam got him some armor after all. My guess is that he'll turn out to be a Buck Turgidson-style loose cannon of some sort.

Am I the only one who didn't really care about the Catalyst and it's logic? I thought the ending sucked because you arrived at it with no choice/variation having any effect and everybody effectively losing (on an individual level). It undermines the entire series (including the first 95% of...

Hopes: I dunno. Dihonored gameplay perhaps? Some more info on Guild Wars 2? A Metal Gear Solid 5 announcement? Dreams: An announcement of a Final Fantasy XV that doesn't suck. Or fuck, I'll just settle for Motomu Toriyama being locked in a room and forced to work on endless FF mobile phone...

That child is secretly pro-gay. "Ain't no homo gonna make it to heaven" is a double negative. But seriously, if you were him, would you say anything that supported gays? The way they cheered when he said it was pure fanaticism. Anyway, to quote Harvey Dent, the night is darkest before the...

Well, I was glad somebody said this. Stealth is a naturally binary state. Any stealth game with additional 'risk' is usually just operating off some sort of 'chance' element (like a percentage bar). Yes, most of the work in Hitman is done in the players head before they even touch the...

I thought I'd blocked that movie out. That wasn't so much depressing as it was unrelentingly cruel, almost to the point of feeling exploitive. I kept expecting a reprieve or a 'point' of some kind, but it just kept going and going and she got none. Ugh, now I feel dirty again, damn you!

Still this:

I'm curious as to whether you mean representation in style, or in gameplay. IF we're talking gameplay, then Planescape: Torment can't go unmentioned. Though Soul Reaver probaly has the best combination of both. As for style? I'm not sure. I like old-style Resi zombies. The shufflers.

Has there ever been a more self-hating combustible fanbase than Final Fantasy fans? So caught up in the OCD-esque desire to compare and contrast the series, that every Final Fantasy fan seems to ere towards a sort of absolutism driven by weird Final Fantasy ideologies. It's gotten to the point...

I always liked the old Phantom Menace playstation game. Especially the RPG/adventure-ish bits. Definitely my guilty pleasure. As for my unpopular opinion. I generally think FFVIII is one of the most misunderstood video games out there. It was around the time that Square was going through a...

This article was done much better (though I guess without a rider perspective) here :http://www.zeldainformer.com/news/comments/epona_horse_or_vehicle EDIT: Actually, that wasn't the article I was looking for. I know there's a really kick ass article that focused on immersion and narrative...

I give you, a masterpiece of an opening: I know it's not the most loved game, but I've always loved the Final Fantasy VIII opening too.
