Dragon Age II had a Florence + The Machine track playing over it, which was pretty sweet. I will say I particularly enjoyed watching the Deus Ex: Human Revolution credits, simply because it featured a variety of photos from the developers.

Ah, gotcha. I suppose I've been guilty of that myself, once or twice. And that's unfortunately all it takes. A moment of inattention at the wrong time, and you're either going flying or at least getting the scare of your life.

That is, rather frighteningly, how it often goes. "You have the right to say what I agree with!" I'm not actually sure. It's possible, of course. I never viewed them as particularly sexualised myself, but I guess I fell into the trap. I do recall there was quite a number of female WoW players...

I have no clue what "Inner Chains" is, but I doubt DOOM will take the crown. Shadow Warrior 2 doesn't look particularly great either; the first game was popular because it felt like it did everything it set out to do. It gave you a bunch of fun weapons, a nice set of environments and a story you...

I don't understand why freedom of speech gets dragged into this mess. It has nothing to do with it. Freedom of speech allows you to distribute and receive information without having to worry about a state sponsored organisation or private organisation threatening you. It doesn't protect you...

Yeah, that wasn't really your fault or your smartphone. Sure, the music probably didn't help, but it's not gonna stop an asshole from running you over because they don't understand right of way. I can't really understand why people walk around with their smartphones out. The earphones I use...

I'm not much of a fan of seafood. In fact, it needs to be thoroughly fried before I'll even touch it, or mashed into an unrecognisable pile of soup. Yes, essentially I only like my sea food when it has no resemblance in texture to seafood. This also means that I have absolutely no love for...

That was... disappointing. As far as generic shooter trailers go, that was pretty much on par with the rest of them. I love Doom as much as the next guy, but there's nothing about this "reboot" that makes it seem like anything short of a quick way to cash-in on the popularity of Brutal Doom and...

It's not a win for either side, honestly. Apple aren't getting anything out of this, and the FBI may have damaged their public image by dragging them to court over it. It's just a game of whack-a-mole right now. The FBI tracks down one security hole; Apple finds it and patches it. That is, until...

You seem to be going for a strategy theme here, so I'm going to suggest the Pharaoh, Cleopatra and Caesar games. They're city builders, and quite good ones at that. Aside from that, I'll also second the original Fallout games. They've held up surprisingly well, once you get past the resolution...

I did some quick research, and it's a bit of a confusing mess. From what I can find, the rights to Oni belonged to Bungie originally. Partway through the development, Bungie was bought by Microsoft, but they had a distribution deal with Take-Two, who managed to acquire the licenses for Oni and...

It's good, but I haven't been able to recapture the magic I experienced when I first played through it. In fact, I've found myself increasingly frustrated with some of the gameplay mechanics employed in sections of the game, such as the parts with the Fade. These annoyances doesn't entirely take...

Sniper: Art of Victory. I got across the first bridge you encounter, faced down a squad of enemies, and quickly realised that a game from 2008 should not look and play like a genetic mutation sprung off from the original Call of Duty. Took me 15 minutes to realise that.

I tend to go for high Intelligence, and then I take Small Guns, Speech and Medicine. Because if I can't talk my way out of a bad situation, I'll sure as hell try to make sure I can shoot my way out. Honestly, just focus on getting perks and Intelligence. Your experience will just flow in quicker...

We won't see a new Battlefield at E3, nor a Star Wars game. Both EA and Disney have bowed out of this year's E3. Instead, EA will be hosting an event called "Play 2016" at the same time. Maybe it's not too farfetched to hope we'll see an announcement or two there.
