    Is the mainstream games Industry running out of ideas?

    I had a thought this morning as I fired up Audiosurf, and that was how come the games that have original and interesting ideas 'indie' games. Aren't these new and exciting forms of entertainment what we all ought to be playing? This got me to thinking about games in general and I had a sudden...

    Poll: Do online reviews affect video game sales

    I personally couldn't give a damn about reviews. Sure some person on the other side of the world didn't have as much fun as me but it doesn't matter I still had fun. For example, I preorderd The Force Unleashed and played it to death before going online and seeing what everyone else thought...

    Sonic Unleashed: Will it help save Sonic or not?

    It seems that not content with making huge amounts of games with its own franchises, Nintendo is doing it with Sega's as well. That said, the new Sonic is a positive step towards innovation, and the WereSonic could add some really interesting gameplay - think like Supersonic back on the...

    Gears of War 2 the worst game launch ever?

    I disagree, that defective photo is great! I want to shake the hand of whoever did that purely because the words out of the mouth of anyone receiving it would be "what the hell?"

    Does anyone else feel bad when their troops in RTS games die?

    Nah, I frequently use those faceless soldiers as cannon fodder. In most RTS games (Warcraft 3 and Dawn of War particularly) I like using the basic troops as a squishy bloody shield for my more effective units. They will either absorb the hits otherwise directed at my better troops, or be allowed...

    Difficult or Cheap?

    All I know was Ninja Gaiden's difficulty was enough for me to give up because I couldn't defeat almer or alma or whatever. If you stop having fun it ceases to be a game and starts to be a time waste.

    Songs You'd Like to See In the Next Rock Band/Guitar Hero game

    Daft Punk - Aerodynamic. For those unaware it is played on a guitar through a synth to give the electro house noise in the opening, from there on in its pure electric gold my friends. If you haven't heard it youtube it.

    The Philosophy thread

    Existence is subjective. Thus if you believe you exist then you do. What do we think on morals? Do we think we should strive for the greatest good for the greatest number? Or should we operate on self advancement and self preservation?

    The "Let's at least be fair" school of gaming assumptions

    Portal was a puzzle game and valve managed to cram a story into there that had forums wailing with 'the cake is a lie'.

    Best independent title of 2008 - your opinion

    Audiosurf obviously! (I'm not 100% sure if it is an 'indie' title, but I did find it in an obscure corner of steam...)

    Difficult or Cheap?

    Although much of the point of Ninja Gaiden was to be absurdly difficult, that said why they couldn't include a difficulty setting for fun is beyond me...

    Difficult or Cheap?

    The only game I found that came close to a truly fair difficulty set was Deus Ex Ivisible War. Realistic was just that, ammo was scarce and both you and your enemies could take few bullets. Only the player character's biomods (think special powers like invisibilty or increased strength for those...

    Poll: Halo 4 poll

    I'm not sure how much ignorance there can be, as I haven't met many gamers that haven't played a game in the Halo series, and the anger that I think your detecting isn't at the game itself, all that is said is that Halo was a good series but now its time to put it to bed and see what else bungie...
