    Should I/How do I go to school in Australia?

    I would imagine most large university's would have a section for "international student admissions" on their web sites where you could see what their requirements are for admission and what you need to do to get in as an international student. If anything, you could always just email their...

    Underwhelming gaming experiences

    Probably L4D, I originally bought the game (for 360) to do split-screen with a friend of mine and wassn't that impressed by the local coop play. Granted, I havn't actually played it online, so maybe my opinion is flawed.

    Why do people think online games like MW2 are actually fun?

    Well, the reasons I enjoy online gaming: 1.) I enjoy the competion and challenge of playing against other people. 2.) I've had moments in online games that were just as intense, if not more, than the most well thought out set pieces in a single player game. I attribute this to the fact...

    Best Games You've Found In The Bargain Bin

    Killer 7 for $10. Funny thing is, I didn't have money for it when I first saw it, so I buried it at the bottom of the bin and came back the next day to buy it.

    Worst game PURCHASE you ever made.

    Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, payed a full $65 for it, with tax, when it first came out. I knew I hated the game after talking to a character brought up a loading screen and after scrolling through the two lines of dialogue, the game goes to another loading screen. It baffles me that a game has so...

    Poll: No Room for "B" Games?

    I was thinking this same thing earlier today. To me it seems that gamers are very polarized in their opinions on games, with a game either being excellent or complete garbage. As a result, very rarely do you actually see someone say a game is "ok" and then give strong points about what the...

    Just bought a PS3. What games do I need?

    If you plan on getting God of War 3, you might as well get God of War Collection if you havn't played the first two games. You can probably get it for cheap and the remakes still hold up to modern games.

    Ever Make a Character Too Old for the Story?

    Fallout 3 is the biggest example that comes to mind. Going by the years that pass in the intro, the main character is about 18, if I remember the time jumps correct. Meanwhile, my first character looked like he was in his mid thirties. It wassn't too annoying until I started meeting the...

    What's The Purpose of Inflated Damage in RPGs?

    I believe that the raised health pools in games, like FFXIII and others, is used as a way of controling progression and as a means to separate early game content from late game content. By creating the large health differences, it makes it nigh impossible for low level characters to defeat...

    Games you couldn't wait for that turned out to be huge disappointments.

    Star Wars: Force Unleashed, previews of the game talked about how amazing the enemy AI would be, how objects and walls would take realistic damage based on their material, and that you would have an arsenal of force powers at your disposal. Then I played it and found Starkiller to be a...

    Which one subject is really disconcerting for you to talk about?

    Fight Club, cause that would be breaking the first two rules. OT: I wont touch a topic involving religion (just a can of worms not worth opening).
