Wait, what? I thought the whole point was to control the games with this and have the tablet display things that were unique to that player, so that one player could have information that the other didn't? Basically, to make games like they were on the GameCube when you used a GBA as a...

I'm not really expecting it to be anything more than a generic shooter that will just be fun to play through once. I played the demo and enjoyed it, but then it only took about 15 minutes. I can see how it could get boring after a while so maybe I'll just have to play it in 15 minute sessions...

I haven't played it myself (still have to play the first one), but just to jump in quickly - A) I hate in-game tutorials. The only time they are acceptable are when they can be turned off. If a developer ever thinks of utilising an in-game tutorial their next thought should be to make the...

You're working on the assumptions that a) it will be full of bugs and b) Bethesda haven't either already delayed it (before it was announced in December 2010) or learned from previous games and allowed extra time for testing. It probably will have some bugs upon release - what game doesn't...

The funny thing is, I was waiting for this game without really realising it. I picked the original game up for the Xbox shortly after its release, just on a whim, and couldn't put it down until I'd completed it. It was a fantastic game - really immersive, great plot woven seamlessly into the...

I'd love to jump in with a suggestion of a game that would hook you in right from the start, keep you busy for months, and leave you so grateful to me for suggesting it that you're eternally grateful and never forget my birthday, but as it happens all the best RTS games I can think of you've...

It's simply 'reactionary' hatred. People tend to hate anything that gets overly popular. There were people who hated Halo before it was even released because it was getting so much hype. The same goes for just about anything else that gets huge - you'll find groups of haters for things like...

Roger Ebert has missed the small point that, a century ago, people were saying the exact same thing about movies - that they were not, and would never be, art. Any serious critic would discuss painting, poetry, music, literature and theatre, but utterly decry anything put to film. Now, of...

I own a lot of games I haven't played yet. Some are pretty old games now, but I didn't buy them all upon release so I'm not sure which I've actually owned the longest. I know I got Final Fantasy IX not long after release and I haven't played that yet so... 9 years? Although if you want to get...

I have the same approach he does - act cynical and expect everything to suck, so that you're pleasantly surprised when something is actually good (because if you expect everything to be fantastic you'll be constantly disappointed). So I try a lot of games and stick with the ones that I actually...

Good thread. Some people have mentioned some games that I don't think are rare, or at least I'm not aware of it. Perhaps they're just younger gamers who have had to go out of their way to find games from previous consoles that older gamers picked up as they came out. For example, someone said...

Points for creativity but they're not the first company to try such things (Operation Flashpoint's loading screen advertises its 'performance degrading' anti piracy measures, and that's 8 years old now) and it doesn't take pirates long to find a way around such things. Anyone who downloaded a...

When I first got a 360 I didn't care about the achievements, I didn't see the point. When they added trophies to the PS3 I still didn't see the point. I play games through however I want to and if I pick achievements up along the way it's just a number. However then I started to get into the...

Traditional zombies - slow moving, shuffling, groaning, where one zombie is no threat at all, laughable even, but a zombie bite is fatal, resulting in more zombies and the threat comes from their gradual but unstoppable increase in numbers and the inevitable exhaustion of supplies for the...
