    Just flew a jet in battlefield 3... omg.

    I lost my first dogfight because I jizzed. That's how awesome dog fighting is. Unlike most people, I found the learning curve to be surprisingly easy for both jets and helos. Now I'm able to actually help my team by disabling ground vehicles. And the balance of infantry vs. jets/helos feels...

    The Generic FPS: How Would You Change it For the Better?

    1) Scrap single-player for co-op campaign. I'm sick of useless "friendly" AI. Ideally, the story-driven part of the game would be similar to GoW Horde mode. Maybe then the game devs can focus on decent, original war stories instead of resorting to cliches. 2) Give players more things to do...

    What is a "try hard"?

    This. A million times this. It's the epitome of hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance.

    5 crucial lessons learned from modern video games

    Yeah, now that you say it, that's exactly how I feel. It's a shame, really, that kids today just aren't fully appreciating their games, intentionally or not. I sure as hell will make my kids appreciate their video games as the cornerstones of their childhoods.

    What are some moments in games that really hit you?

    Assassin's Creed, the first game. I really liked the grand-master of the Assassins, Al Mualim. Or at least, I liked what he wanted me (and Altair) to believe in his "cause".

    Would You Buy SW: Battlefront 2 Port for 360/PS3?

    I think it's safe to say that SW: Battlefront 3 is a dead end. So who here would buy a current-gen port of SW: Battlefront 2? The only changes would be cosmetic, i.e. graphics. No new content would be introduced. Edit:And the game would be full price: USD $60.00. Also, damnit, I forgot a poll...

    Online Multiplayer Deathmatch/Team-based Strategy Discussion

    Team-based games generally take time to learn and limits the user base. CoD is simple enough so that, quite literally, even a baby can kill someone. Ergo, more people buy the game. And there's really nothing you can do about this trend until the FPS genre is milked dry in a decade or two.

    The Best FPS Multiplayer Experience

    Bad Company 2. The battles when both teams have competent players and only end by a margin of effort by one squad... those are the moments I live for. And then of course there are those battlefield moments, events so bizarre and unexpected that make for the best and most memorable of stories.

    Rumor: Wii U 50% More Powerful Than PS3?

    I call bullshit. Granted, it's been 5 years since, but more than a PS3 CELL processor?

    Actually the US spends more than the next 14 countries [http://www.globalissues.org/article/75/world-military-spending#WorldMilitarySpending]... the US is neither that crazy nor that rich. Have you ever looked at what that budget funds? According to this recent Congressional Research Service...

    Gearbox honors decade old pre-order with goodies!

    Daaamn... the guy deserves everything and more. I wonder what would happen if he tried to redeem that at an actual Gamestop?

    Is Militarism in Modern Games a Problem?

    Tbh, it's not a particularly important or even relevant issue at this point in time. If the political/social atmosphere was similar to the nationalistic fervor like in World War 1, then there might be be some cause for alarm. However, the current climate is that economic prestige takes...

    Free Code with A Used Game...?

    I bought a used copy of Mortal Kombat on May 7th from Gamestop, and then a day later I discovered I needed a "Kombat Kode" to activate online multiplayer. Since it apparently wasn't included on anywhere on the manual, I just played single-player... until a week ago, when I looked at the receipt...

    Why all the hate for Mr Caffeine?

    So I guess I'm the only one who felt like he was really time traveling?
