I'm impressed. B:I is the It game of the moment, which means amongst gaming circles, it is generally untouchable. I can appreciate that this is a commentary coming from a place of admiration that still acknowledges the flaw-that-works-for-some-people. That said, I don't think it was...

I think Mass Effect would obviously make for a better TV show because there's almost no direct plot in Bioshock, as much as I love that game. Most of it is extremely straightforward...except getting interrupted every level with a fetch quest, which only *barely* works in a video game. Bioshock...

I agree with it's GotY, but I do have to disagree it had an unprecedented amount of choice. The illusion is very convincing, but play the game more than once and you'll realize that simply none of your choices matter. Not a single one. They all lead out to the same conclusion. They all lead out...

Dragon Age: Origins is an ugly, ugly, ugly game. It didn't age well the day after it came out. The art design in general is very boring. Combat is slow--not even slow in an appropriately tactical sense. Slow in a "I can buy a tombstone and personally engrave the epitaph by the time Alistair...

Actually, I'd like to expand upon that "why men are portrayed as idiots", and what I've come to feel: In the '50s, TV portrayed the ideal family. A strong, supportive, bread-winning father; a nurturing (if sometimes prone to overstep her bounds) beautiful housewife and mother; and a few scamp...

Provided I have played the game or am really interested (or if I've played a previous game in that series). His critiques are a lot more enjoyable if you understand what he's going on about.

Well, I'm completely and totally not interested in multiplayer...I just hope that this multiplayer is developed by an entirely different team on a different budget and nothing about single-player is sacrificed. I have no intention of buying a multiplayer mode unless it looks beautiful.

For the most part [http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/departments/nrd-30/ncsa/stsi/36_NY/2009/36_NY_2009.htm], driving accidents occur for people 21+ over. Partially because of alcohol age limits, partially because of the limited use most teenagers have over cars. Considering how very few accidents...

I think that's a limited viewpoint. Valve is a business first and foremost--but they're a business with a rather different approach, and that's that people who like you are the sort of people who will be loyal to you. They're the sort of people who will trust what you make will be amazing, and...

If I made a guess, it was that their earlier games were more revolutionary--they were new, different, and exciting. As we got used to their formula, we wanted different things. Some fans hated that, some liked it. At first it seemed like they were doing well introducing new concepts. But they...

Up until WWII, the United States had a policy of isolationism and neutrality. Think Sweden. America's main interest was not fighting the German side of things, it was fighting the Japanese side of things. Which the United States continued to do for a few months after V-E Day. I think we can...

Other have said it and I will echo them: He says what he needs to to keep gamer's faith. Why the hell does he hype his games and release them if he's agreed with all the unfortunate responses they keep getting. But then he doesn't improve what works, he just piles more half-baked ideas on top of...

I like having more options, but at least back up your arguments with valid points, instead of misleading images. If you want to say "RPGs used to have more options" be my guest. They did. But please try not to make it difficult to read what you say as serious points.

If EMPs existed, they'd most like kill people, too, since we run on electric impulses.
