Indeed, the sudden, unannounced disappearance of Shamus Young bears investigation.

Edit for repeat post. I blame the TOS screen that was just thrown at me.

Heheheh, this is now my favouritest takes on that joke ever.

I'm going to go ahead and say that Civ 4 was probably the better game. That said, Civ 5 is still excellent and I've been playing it almost non stop for two weeks. The City states are a good gameplay driving force and the combat system seems pretty good. Really should play Civ 3 at some...

I don't own any of the current generation of consoles. I wouldn't call myself a PC elitist but frankly, I, like a fair amount of people, much prefer it. I prefer mouse and keyboard, switching only to a USB pad when I feel like it - not as default. I prefer the ability to use freeware. I...

It's... frankly amazing how many times this happens in so many computer games. I suppose it's just one more example of cutscene incompetance.

I can see the quite understandable relative realism angle here, but dammit, it sounds like too much stress and bother. In Mass Effect and its sequel, I spent up to five minutes agonising over some dialogue choices, wanting to make my attitude clear. Though those long pauses were often due, it...

Well, it's a damn shame that we're probably never going to see what that graphics engine is REALLY capable of, but I suppose I can get over it. I suppose it's kind of cute to see what they can accomplish with more limited hardware. You know, like when you download an obscure ROM and go, "Wow...

AHAHA! AhahahAHAAHaaaaarr... AHAHAAH! AHAHAHAHAH! Ahhh....

An interesting topic. People seem to want a protagonist who is either relatable or admirable. Unfortunately, what is relatable or admirable differs from person to person and worse, they seem to have forgotten all about the relatable part most of the time. Also unfortunately, the industry...

This is pretty damn tragic. You have to wonder what kind of life the kid had to put him in a mental state where he would kill his own brother. The fact that a PS3 is involved is kind of meaningless. Since this did happen, it could have happened over anything. The kid doesn't need jail...

Any game where they make me aim the bloody gun is a shooter. In an RPG that's the character's job, not mine. Couldn't agree with you more.

You know, when I heard that they were going to remake X-Com (or UFO: Enemy Unknown as I knew it in my part of the world) I was genuinely excited. I was hopeful that this was going to be one of those remakes where they just slap better graphics on an existing game and call it a day. That would...

That was sauce. Awesome. Sauce. You know what? I would watch that whole damn film. I wouldn't even need to be stoned. Yep, I think this is the 'something extra' that Halo has needed all along...

Oh and it's a great pain indeed... but it's just another symptom of potential creative death in the industry. Too much money is involved now and shareholders want guaranteed returns. I never did play Bushido Blade, but it was always on my 'one day I'll...' list. What I saw of the game's...
