    The most spine-chilling, bricks-shatting moment in gaming

    I got to that part at noon on a Saturday and I still turned the game off and walked away after getting out of that mall. The rest of the game never topped that for me.

    MW3 Ricochet Problems

    If you play Modern Warfare 3 you might have noticed that all the "Hardcore" modes were replaced with "Hardcore Ricochet," meaning that any damage done to a friendly player is done to the offending shooter, usually resulting in the shooter's death rather than a teamkill like in the previous...

    Which game/sequel are you most disappointed never happened?

    All these choices and wished for Star Wars sequels and no mention of X-Wing or TIE Fighter? Am I that old? Best starfighter or fighter sims I've ever played.

    User Review of Popular Games

    I should note that I don't usually put much stock in the actual numbers but just look at what people are saying to get a feel for what the user experience is like. If I based music quality based on youtube comments the only good music is classical. I dare you to find an overly negative comment...

    User Review of Popular Games

    Usually when I'm browsing around the Steam Store looking for something interesting and cheap to buy I used to check the Metacritic user ratings whenever possible. I did this mostly because the user reviews often contained more relevant opinions of the product, like a critique of the story and...

    Planetscape Torment: To Buy or Not To Buy?

    I've been looking for a new RPG for the PC and I noticed this on GoG. I've heard a lot of good things about this but because my PC was way out of date when it was originally released I missed most of the classics until KOTOR came out. Is this something that I should invest my money in or is...

    MW3 no different than MW2....(some MW3 gameplay)

    The UMP-45 in the first vid sounds terrible. Actually...all the guns sound terrible.

    You are killed by the last weapon you used in the last game you played.

    Giant ball of lava from the XBL Arcade game "From Dust." If that doesn't count then I suppose the Minecraft pick would be the only other weapon I've used in a game recently. Personally I would rather a 50m ball of lava do me in rather than a pick to the face.

    Poll: Origin v Steam with battlelines drawn, where r u?

    I'm confused about this is any different than Battle.net for WoW and other Blizzard games? You don't find those on Steam and yet there isn't a daily cry for its immediate failure and destruction despite Blizzard's connection to Activision. I'm not up here to defend EA or its business practices...

    Fallout: New Vegas, what guns to pick?

    Get a scope for the hunting rifle and your aiming problem shouldn't be a problem. That and the brush carbine were my favorite guns.

    Poll: Which bad AI is worse in a game?

    With stupid AI I always felt that even if the game wasn't acting realistically I could always get a joke out of it. One example for me is how in every Assassin's Creed game none of the guard recognize you in your distinctive cowl until after you've perforated their friends, especially the...

    Daily Drop: Xbox 360

    A RRoD'd Xbox is very easy to fix. This video demonstrates the proper technique:

    Will You Buy Star Wars on Blu-Ray?

    Seeing as how that would that would require me to spend my gas money on a Blu Ray player...no, I will not. Besides, everyone knows that the best box set was the original VHS one. Mmmmm the delicious obsolescence.
