I used to be a PC enthusiast, but I got sick of always tinkering with graphics settings just to play a game. Sometimes it would take half an hour before I could get a frame rate decent enough to play on. On the Ps3 however, I just put the game in, lie down on my comfy bed (as opposed to sitting...

Settle down, no one is going to invade the U.S. any time soon. We're all too petrified of your nuclear arsenal.

What's with all the Young Turks hate? There are few musicians that know anything about politics. It would be a little bit like asking Obama about his favourite chord progressions.

Stay up all night watching a TV show. Most recent binge was 'Weeds'.

Bunch of pussies if you ask me. They're just words.

If you're so pissed off that games aren't original anymore, then go out and make one that is. In the meantime, stop whining.

I'm skeptical because Sam Lake isn't going to be involved at all. He is a master story-teller and he is responsible for that great 'feel' of both the games. In Alan Wake, there is a scene where you get to read a few pages of one of Wake's earlier novels and they're read to you by the guy who...

+1 The old school adventure games were so story rich. It felt like you were playing a novel or something. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Lost Atlantis ftw.

I'm skeptical of all these open world games because the sheer amount of quests in them means that not too much time was put into developing each individual quest. The reason Mass Effect was so memorable was because they put a lot of effort into the main quest. It was written, coded and animated...

Is San Francisco a drug city?

Does your dad smoke a lot of pot? Enough THC could turn Nicholas Cage into a detective who ultimately gets sacrificed by a crazy cult to a honey God. Oh wait...

I remember getting really scared playing the crappy Blair Witch adventure games. I think it was because I thought the movie was real. Give me a break, I was in year 6.

Hey thanks for all the input. The Call of Duty/ Enemy At the Gates comparison brought back some memories.

Thanks for welcoming me gang. This place is much livelier than the last place I posted at. All this caution against this mysterious 'basement' is making me want to go there even more. Why thank-you! Yours is boss too. Flying Spaghetti Monster FTW. I guess the Snake thing sort of works...

Yeah I get what you mean about the WWII games being like 'Saving Private Ryan'. Especially those hideous 'Brothers in Arms' titles.
