    Poll: Your view on parents spanking their children?

    Verbal warnings are all well and good, but physical pain only drives home a paint that you did SOMETHING wrong. Sometimes telling a child what they did was wrong and a good spank goes a lot further that the simple "no no no". I endorse physical punishment because i learned the best that what...

    Revenge of the Metacritics: Diablo III Getting Review-Bombed

    D3 is a ton of fun, i absolutely LOVE IT! They took D2, improved it and continued on with the storyline. I remember the pain of not having a net connection 24 - 7 (i.e. dial-up) and now to have to consider that i have to wait till late night to play a game would ruin even this game. Yes there...

    Should I Report?

    I would just like to point out that when anyone has stated "its not like someone is watching" is exactly the the potential problem that exists in these times. Society has change a lot since i was 5 - 9 to where we lock the doors now in the quiet small town i grew up in. Not because the...

    Piracy, Not Consoles, Killed the PC Exclusive

    Don't worry, soon its going to be so massive it'll just topple itself .. oh wait ... As for PC exclusive games .. basically unless the industry can't find a way to put it on at least the Xbox they wont be happy. And anything that can be done for a console can be released on a PC, unless...

    Is Steve Jobs the 2nd Greatest Innovator of All Time?

    Jarvis Heart, does anyone know what he did? He made the first artificial Heart. It was a failure but at least he did something. I think that perhaps a lot of you are not looking close enough at the topic at hand. Innovation not inventing, one is actual creation and the other is taking an...

    XCom: Enemy Unknown Gets Screens and Details

    actually the newest Game Informer has a nice bit about the remake of the very first xcom - enemy unknown. It LOOKS like they just updated the game and added a few new aliens but kept the turn based idea alive and basically will be singing to us fanatics.

    Game endings that just ruined almost the entire game for you.

    Most people don't know the game existed so im quite sure it probably hasn't been stated but ... Freelancer If you have played it, and finished it, you know the disappointment im talking about. If you haven't let me tell you of the game and the "oh shit we're running out of money" ending...

    XCom: Enemy Unknown Gets Screens and Details

    First off, I remember buying Xcom : TFTD when it was brand spanking new and i enjoyed Apoc. and beating the crap out of it. Although, i hated how it basically forced you into playing the RTS side instead of turn based but ya take the pros with cons if you truly love a series. I was REALLY...

    Video game stories

    Soul Reaver, it had me in tears in the end. I have never been so moved by a storyline as this one where i wished it would have a 2nd ending, even if you have to jump thru some retardly impossible hoops to make it work. Another simply overlooked storyline is the one that goes along with...

    X-Com and all its glory

    sadly i think what made everything great about xcom WAS the simplicity and to want to recreate that would be where you come up with the most troubles. But if anything about 'cult' games has taught us is that as long as the production stays cheap they COULD do a remake of the game just for...

    X-Com and all its glory

    Finding myself enjoying that i can play these games once more due to Steam and all of its glory i wonder who remembers this fine franchise? Which of the games was your favorite? and is it even worth finishing Interceptor? i stopped when my bases were covering the map and i was slowly sweaping...
