Oh I don't mind them blasting the list, most of the criticism has been fair anyway. I think for the most part I failed to communicate that a single one of those things doesn't necessarily mean the game will be bad, but the more that apply, the more likely that it will suck. The Batman games...

Yeah, there have been a fair few good licensed games. I enjoyed Riddick of course, and the non-film tie-in Transformers games are a blast. Like Alfador and chimpzy pointed out, games that aren't meant to tie into a movie releases seem to have much better chances. Pretty much every good licensed...

I figured it's about time we developed a list of things to watch out for, so that we don't make the mistake of buying things like Aliens: Colonial Marines again. Am I being fair with this list? Do I need to change or add anything? Would I be right in saying that all of these apply to Aliens...

I also really enjoyed the original reboot, and despite the reviews I plan on picking it up at some point. It doesn't do anything wrong, it plays like BF3/CoD, it has scripted events, and everything you do in it has been done before. Those things are true of the BF and CoD series as well...

Oh Steam Greenlight as well?! :D How is the feedback on that? Do they give you many stats for tracking the number of votes?

My team has recently released a game as part of my Games and Interactive Entertainment course at Queensland University of Technology. There's about 30-40 teams who have just released games here, and I'm curious what other games have emerged from other courses around the world! >tl;dr If...

This lol. Goddamn it... (In the past year alone I have been told this three times, two of those by girls I told I liked >.<) So yeah, I'm that, as well as the silly guy who makes all the really awful puns that take awkward seconds for people to get, at which point they groan in emotional...

I'll probably play as both at some point.

The best way to play, and the secret for getting the most out of that game: There is no best way to play and there is no secret for getting the most out of the game. Honestly. I played it for long hours and everytime I would tell myself 'today you are doing the story quests'. And...

Oddworld games. I'm kind of a massive fan, and right now it's in some bloody good hands. I get all teary just thinking about the fact that my favorite franchise has a future once more :'D I'd also buy any Elder Scrolls game, Insomniac game, Naughty Dog game, or Mirror's Edge game without a...

He uses comedic metaphors and exaggeration to point out the flaws in games while only briefly touching upon the good points. He doesn't hate the GAMES, though he might dislike aspects of them. What he hates is the dumbass design choices and mechanics that are thrown in simply because everyone...

Mogworld surprised the hell out of me. I expected it to be alright, maybe more of a parody, but turns out it also has a pretty good plot with some very interesting... erm... mechanics? :P It was a genuinely good read, and it just keeps geting better as it goes along. By the end, you really want...

I have a problem. Basically, I'll start reading something, then something else will come along and I'll start reading that, then it'll happen over and over again until I have something like 30 books on the go that I just randomly pick up and continue when I feel like it. I'll spare you a big...
