    The Darkness II Review

    This game doesn't really need to be any longer. In the six hours it will give you more entertainment, atmosphere, gunplay, drama, and mindscrew than almost any other game you may have played in the recent year. It's just that good. And I still keep thinking that comic book version of The...

    Mass Effect 3 Gives Steam a Miss at Launch

    You know if ME3 was available for preorder on Steam, without any Origin-spyware bullshit, I would have already bought it. Hell, if the retail version did not require Origin, I would have bought THAT in an instant, without Steam even. Guess I'll have to find some other way to enjoy the series...

    Rumours for the next Fallout...

    To those mentioning New York, from fallout wiki - New York was the location of the United Nations headquarters. In 2065 a nuclear reactor, struggling to power the population of 17 million people, went supercritical for a period of about 5 minutes. While there was no explosion, the NYC...

    Syndicate Gameplay Trailer Turns Up the Heat

    Well that looks and sounds good. Love how the main character nonchalantly shoots two guards and then waves his hand. I think it will be more along the lines of - "How dare these corporations to f*ck ME over, I'll have their heads for this!"

    ESRB Gives Arkham City a Teen Rating

    It's UE3 game, your toaster can run it. Because of the "no kill" policy. Seriously. Batman should just have killed every last psycho he met, the first time he defeated each one of them. Countless lives lost because he needs to keep reassuring himself that he is somehow better then those...

    Playing as a female character usually annoys me.

    Except Shepard is not headbutting him with intention to knock that Krogan out. More like inviting him for a duel and challenging said krogans claims. Just saying.

    Can the world of the game be compelling enough to carry the franchise on its own?

    But here lies the problem, there is some interesting lore in DA universe yes, but there is no goal in the narrative of Dragon Age series. They have darkspawn, mages, idols, flemeths, templars and a hundred others plot threads without some single line unifying them all. In the case of Fallout...

    Can the world of the game be compelling enough to carry the franchise on its own?

    Well, but those Mass Effect and Halo books are just supplementary material. They are there to add some fluff to the main part of the series - the games. Some of them even contradict what was said in those very games, take a novel about Reach, for example, and then play the game, the difference...

    Can the world of the game be compelling enough to carry the franchise on its own?

    Well I can argue that the whole C&C series are based around Kane and his quest to return home, or something... But those games are continuing from the previous ones, carrying the same basic story, characters and plot devices. Mass Effect wouldn't be Mass Effect without Shepard's badassery...

    Can the world of the game be compelling enough to carry the franchise on its own?

    After reading a comment from Mike Laidlaw today on BSN - And it got me thinking: almost every game has some central character around whom the whole games are built - Samus in Metroid, Master Chief in Halo, Shepard in Mass Effect, Guybrush Threepwood in Monkey Island, Boss in Saints Row, and...

    Auction House FAQ

    Yep. You'll have to be always online to play Diablo 3. It's essentially an MMO now. Edit: To poster above me, Diablo 3 doesn't have an offline single player component.
