    A Question to Sonic fans about Sonic games

    I really enjoyed Sonic Unleashed, some of the levels were weird but most of them were fun to play. Like you said, the Night/Werehog levels are a little weird and abruptly different from the standard Sonic levels, but I ended up liking the variety. The final level, which alternates back and...

    Tips on useful games for teaching english?

    The Lego Games would work really well. To name a few, there's Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Marvel Super Heroes, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the newest Lego Movie Game in addition to The Hobbit coming out eventually. If the child is familiar with one of those movies in his native language...

    Attitudes towards videogame violence and moral disengagement

    Psychological surveys are always enjoyable, personally, especially ones that give some new questions to think about. I'm not really expecting a reply, but are you by any chance a Psych grad student? I noticed the absence of "N/A" from your "Rank from 1--#" answer sets. Trying to be as...

    Are you a Rocker? (Rock Band / Guitar Hero)

    I still play Rock Band pretty frequently. What brings me back though, are those really difficult songs that are so rewarding to finish. For instance, "Panic Attack" and "On the Backs of Angels" by Dream Theater (which inspired me to go see them live, incredible!); anything by Rush, anything...

    When is it ok for big budget games?

    These questions were a lot more difficult to answer than I initially expected! 1) I feel that it's inevitable to reward success. A CEO sees the figures that certain games bring in, and wants to continue the success to keep their company alive and their employees paid. I like the idea that a...

    People playing games only to kill things

    Another person? Are you confusing this with a past experience? You are being very hostile to a polite question. I'm not saying "I posted an opinion, go away," I'm saying "Why did you quote my post?" Like, what was it that you didn't agree with? I agree that people play games differently...

    Kingdom Hearts 1.5 discussion

    I haven't gotten it yet, but I'm curious about the 358/2 Days cutscenes (which I have not played yet either). I remember reading that there's ~3 hours of cutscenes in lieu of the game. Have you watched any yet?

    I'm sorry, but why did you quote my post? Is my answer not a valid opinion like yours is?

    What books would make for a great game?

    I could see a game where you play as a member of the original Dragon Team, possibly making a plot twist out of the fact that the Dragon Army had always lost before simply being removed. Or, if it was from Ender's POV, I would probably die from pure joy if they could merge Ender's Game and...

    Poll: What's Your Deal With Easy Mode

    I never played the original games, but they sound much better than the reboot. The reboot made me feel so frustrated at how ridiculous and broken the combat system felt, and replaying the same game over and over with different enemies was so dreadfully boring. I'm glad to know that the reboot...
