    The banning of violent video games to minors.

    I don't get all this talk about how we shouldn't ban video games from people under a certain age. Maybe it's different in the States but up here in the Provinces, you can't buy games unless you're of a certain age. Or by "banning" is it like in Australia and the games themselves are contraband?

    Is Mass Effect 2 a good Role-Playing Game?

    I guess this whole thread begs the question: What do you think makes a good RPG? In my opinion, it's the ability to play as multiple roles in a game and not feel out of place in the game world. To me, ME2 doesn't count, because it doesn't let you play multiple roles, the way I see it.

    Is Mass Effect 2 a good Role-Playing Game?

    The thing about Cole though, is that I've completed every side quest on the first island of the game, and just about every single quest is him helping someone else. There are like 3 different types of quests that help doctors and get medical supplies, saving maybe hundreds of lives, and you...

    Is Mass Effect 2 a good Role-Playing Game?

    Having recently beaten Oblivion for the 4th time using for fundamentally different character builds, I reflected on why it was the best RPG I've ever played. I settled on the fact that I can assign any type of character I want and s/he wouldn't feel out of place in the world of Oblivion. I then...

    Extra Credits: Role of the Player - My own personal view

    "P.S: I would love a game that is made by a designer who intentionally left exploits in the world, so I could go around and discover various ways of breaking the game. ;-) that would be fun." Play a Bethesda game on a PS3.

    For Those Excited for Skyrim: What Do You Plan to Do?

    Male Argonian Assassin named Aligheri. Bows are nice, but I prefer the feeling of sneaking up behind someone with a dagger for a 1-hit kill. Saw in the trailer someone getting their throat sliced in the darkness, so I'm looking forward to that. I think it'll be a perk.

    "I believe that censorship is worse for society than negative media by far" I'm sure Socrates would agree. ;)

    MGS 3DS a.k.a. The Gamecube Effect

    I confess, I am some degree of a Playstation fanboy and a Metal Gear Solid franchise fanboy. So I was moderatly upset when I found out my favorite game of all time (Metal Gear Solid 3) would be going to the 3DS, and more disgustingly, the company I hold a certain level of contemp for, Nintendo...

    Anti-games debate.

    Wait, did you just say that something can belong to an artistic medium and yet, at the exact same time, not be art? Isn't a poem art regardless of its quality or theme?
