Tried to get back into GW stuff, but just couldn't justify shelling out the cash. And I work full time, feel sorry for parents funding their kids' hobby. What really irks me is the lack of support for their better games (IMO): Necromunda, Mordheim, Bloodbowl, Battlefleet Gothic. I REALLY...

Ah that's nice for you Ubisoft, I played an open world game called Elite on the BBC Micro in the 80s. I also heard text adventures are going to be big in 2014! (Okay I'll stop being facetious now!)

Hello there my fellow escapists! Here's my first impressions video of Hearthstone, the collectible card game from Blizzard. Please note that this game is currently in beta. As a result everything you see here is subject to change. Any feedback you guys can give me would be most welcome.

My favourite part was the poetry you could request over your CB radio while you riddled some scumbags with missiles. Happy days!

I third this. Interstate 76 was awesome, it's also available on GOG for $6!

I know it's against the TOU to self link, but I feel that this will save me a lot of typing: This is about control and nothing more, this will escalate if it is allowed to go unchecked. Pornography today, then tomorrow bloggers and their "terroist" propaganda, unfavourable reviews of...

I'd like to see franchises mix up the genres a bit. A 4X game in the Mass Effect universe has the potential to be awesome, but I doubt that would ever happen!

I approve of this thread! Especially the OPs second choice! I really like Matt Barton: he's got some great gaming insight and interview content. For his interviews he get's some very interesting guests, he's well worth checking out, that guy should be doing that for a living.

It's a great game, it's also been out a while:

Just what I wanted! Maybe I can attach a Kinect to my laptop too! I don't really think anyone would be interested in this, only people that "have to have" every gadget that comes along. Would be interesting to see how many developers and consumers would take this on, considering you'd...

Gladius Strategy/RPG where you develop a gladiator school in a fantasy alternate ancient Rome. You could have a variety of gladiator types and also mythical creatures like Cyclops, Minotaurs and Yetis! HD Remake, no need to alter the game, just spruce up the graphics and pop it on Steam or...

Aye, agree with this 100%. This shall be another commandment!

Yeah the weapons in PS2 are more "side-grades" than anything else. Lose some fire-rate and gain accuracy for example, it does help keep balance but essentially renders those purchases pretty much useless. I also think buff items like xp and loot drop boosters are fine also. I appreciate what...

Hi Escapists, I've cobbled together my notes from another Critical Hit video (this time about micro transactions) and arranged them in some form of comprehensible language below. I've skipped the discussion about what MTs are and got to the nitty gritty: which games do it badly and what...

I thought all of the important data is stored server-side to force the player to be connected to play. If that is the case then it will be impossible remove it as it is an integral part of the game. Still a shitty thing to do, and the only people who have been hurt by the DRM are the people...
