Let's assume that the zombies don't die. You can't just outlast them for a few months. What the survivors will need to do is create the infrastructure to MAKE things. Grow their own food. In the book, "I am Legend", the guy survives by scavenging supplies from warehouses and stores. That's...

This is a very good point. I wish I could play a game like Halo 3 without the need to worry about my ammunition, or the worrisome tendency of my magazines to run dry. Gears of War violates this by turning reloading (an inconvenience) into a bonafide game mechanic. It then redeems itself with...

Tranq gun in Hitman (Sadly, you NEED to replay the game to get decent mileage out of it. I know I haven't.) Gravity gun AND crossbow of Half-Life 2. Superheated steel rods? Count me in! Missile Pod (Mounted) in Halo 3... kinda sad, "biggest" game didn't serve up any moments of "I AM PAIN...

Poon Lim http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poon_Lim Awesome, awesome guy. Unfortunate name.

Call of Duty 3. Not the historical aspect of the grand strategy. Just the "I killed 300 germans with a handful of soldiers, including one who keeps using the phrase "leftenant". That Canadian mission is drilled into my skull as narratively making no sense. With less than 10 people, I took and...

It takes a fair chunk of time for a good game to dip below $60. I pre-order "sure things" like Halo 3 or Gears 2, and if I see something good, I'll take it then and there. I figure the longer I own it, the more fun I'll have.

"Awesome! Fresh doughnuts! Full disclosure... we're actually FBI." - Hitman, Blood Money, after you give the FBI van-dwellers doughnuts. Poisoned doughnuts.

My response is that, as a fencer, I have many things to blunt, deflect, or lessen the blow (Armor, my sword, my ability to move out of the way). There's actually an engraving of a guy with a sword trying to parry a pistol. The audience is dutifully horrified. This trope can be seen in the...

"I hate them. I hate them for what they are, and what they will become. But most of all I hate them because they are incapable of good, honest human hatred." "Come take them." - Response to "Leave your weapons on the ground." "NUTS!" - The Bloody Battered Bastards of the Bastion of...

I AM sure about dual wielding guns. As someone who "knows" guns, here are the facts: you could train with two guns for 10 years and still not be able to match up to someone who has learned to shoot one gun for a year. It just sucks to duel wield, and it always pisses me off to see duel...

"Vegas Legend" from beating the campaign of RS:V on "realistic" (yea, right...) Very frustrating to get, took me quite a while. Also, the "Survival" achievement in that game. Basically, if you win a survival match, it is quite likely that you won't get it. So I just kept playing survival...

America's Army is a game I've had a longstanding interest in. I'm not too bothered by the whole propaganda aspect of the thing, just haven't had time to get around to it. So, when I read a story about how America's Army trained a guy to stop bleeding, and then he saved someone's life in a car...

Yea, you really have no right to complain about the difficulty without it being on Legendary. Also, as one who took over an hour to master the throw smoke grenade - shoot- advance - shoot - advance - shoot - advance - shoot -advance for Call of Duty 3's second level on Veteran (No guarentees...

They taught me that trying really does make you better. Seriously, the only difference between a "bad" gamer and great one is some practice. Keep trying. Eventually you get to feel like a badass.
