The continuing adventures of Fagballs

Sounds like its suffering from Bionic Commando syndrome. Overall it's fucked up and a lot of people will hate it, but it may have enough redeeming qualities to make it worth a 20 dollar purchase.

RPG was used to describe the original Dragon Quest and what it means (though it is a misnomer) is that the game is governed by visible stats (HP, MP, Atk, Vit. etc.) and that your actions are chosen from a menu rather than real time skills determining the outcome of thing. Therefore a game...

I'm so tempted to email croydon@parliament.sa.gov.au and ask him if the Jews in Nazi Germany were just a vocal minority? I mean, apparently it's OK to oppress minorities (vocal or otherwise).

Left 4 Dead doesn't really shine unless you have 2 or more players of similar skill struggling to live through the game on a difficulty mode appropriate for their skill. If the two players are actually real-life friends and that difficulty mode is expert, the game is incredibly compelling...

It's true that L4D2 is little more than a large expansion for L4D. They couldn't even come up with an alternate "boss" zombie to replace the tank. However, considering L4D was still fun to play the day before L4D2 came out, that's not exactly unwelcome.

House is pretty formulaic, but it seems like there are a lot of jokes referencing the medical babble, and even if 99% of viewers don't understand it, I have a feeling it IS based on actual medical conditions. By the end of the show they've carefully explained whatever condition it was. In ST...

"There are good user-designed levels to be found in Little Big Planet, it's just that they're difficult to distinguish from the dross that surrounds them." In other words, it's a microcosm of the larger game industry.

If you spawn "god" and "zues" you get two identical looking celestial beings that kick the crap out of everyone. It's possible there are behavior differences, but I haven't noticed. There are a ton of things like this in the game where various different words spawn the same thing. And often...

Your point was that we should have assumed Scribblenauts was a shallow game aimed at children because it is a DS game. We've demonstrated that that is a stupid idea because there are plenty of non-shallow games not aimed at children available for the DS. If you had pointed out the box art, you...

Who cares who it's aimed most squarely at? There are enough quality games designed for adults or for everyone (truly) that it is well worth purchasing. Although lately I'm finding the release list a bit thin for my tastes, I've gotten more than my money's worth from just ten games: Three...

Everything he said is true, but Scribblenauts can still be kinda fun for a while. The worst thing is definitely the "huge boulder" problem. I'm imagining a very large rock, but if I can't find the right word for it, I end up with something the size of a basketball. The most annoying this is...

Guitar Hero. While I was wasting 8 hours of my life waiting for a Wii on launch night, I finally got a chance to play Guitar Hero (a game I thought I wouldn't like because I can play real guitar (and drums) very well). It turns out I liked it enough to go out and buy the first two games a week...

Your guns is of course your best friend On which you must always depend When you get into fights You can look down the sights And bullets come out of the end classic

Someone above suggested that the Wii made Metroid Prime 3 worse than the first two. I agree. However, it's still a very good game that puts most other games to shame (especially Wii games). Hell, compare the "planet approach" loading screens of Prime to Ratchet and Clank on the PS3 and you'll...
