    Poll: How many Escapists have been shot at?

    Yep. Admittedly they weren't fired AT me (or at least not with the intention of hitting me in particular) but the snap of bullets passing overhead is something that kind of eliminates the signifcance of that. I was outside, working on my car. Earlier in the day I had noticed a large number...

    Why is sex and gaming so far apart?

    Because the main stream media and the public in general still see Video games as being something that's "for kids".

    Poll: Who nuked Megaton.

    Yeah, you'd be wrong in this case. Fallout "rewards" the player with different experiences and allies. You're not gimped for being evil like in so many other games.

    Poll: Who nuked Megaton.

    Well, if you nuke megaton, you still have access to all the perks of the town (including Moira, just in different places) AND you dont have to worry about Talon company jumping down your throat every so often on a contract kill mission. That said, on my first playthrough I defused the bomb...

    Fall of Liberty Developer Says Game Reviewers Too Critical

    Really? because that's exactly how I went into the demo, and it was awful. Scripted events were Broken, the graphics were horrible , the controls were so clunky I could barely aim, and the AI was... well, let's just say inadequate. OK, fair enough. But I had a great time playing "Black" on...

    Turning Point: Fall of Liberty - lack of reviews...

    Also they were completely broken. I remember watching a Nazi Jet trudge past me, rolling and on fire. I watched it continue on it's arrow-straight course all the way until it hit a building- which it simply disappeared into with no explosion, debris, or any kind of awesome. That moment...

    Finding grownups (25 +) on XBOX Live.

    Ok, I gotta step in on this one. I've lived in both worlds, PC and 360, and I can tell you that the majority of CS players are just as bad as the COD:4 and Halo retards. They are (pretty consistently) Either: 1. Taking the game WAAAAAYY too seriously. Swearing at their team members for not...

    When was the last time you cried and/or teared up during a video game?

    Bioshock. I didn't cry, but killing Andrew Ryan really brought me down. I felt like such shit after that that I probably would've cried if it wasn't for the shock of learning who I "really" was. And then that shock and sadness turned to white-hot anger (at Fontaine) so quickly that the whole...

    Age of Conan To Be Censored in U.S.

    I don't get it... God of War had Nipples. hell, DIABLO had nipples. Tiny, pixellated ones. I hate game companies.

    Call of Duty 4 DLC Coming in Spring

    Will this come out before or after they release the patch that fixes the goddamn sniper rifles? You know, the one IW has been promising for about 2 months now?

    Is TF2 Perfect?

    It's good, great even, but its main flaw is the lack of variety. We need more maps, pronto. More game modes wouldn't go amiss either, and on Xbox-live, the lag can be (and is) debilitating. It's not really the service, since I can play COD lag free almost continuously for 3 or 4 hours.

    Pushing Back

    Those restrictions are there because they have the potential to cause harm, either mental/ pschological (fear, panic, etc.) or physical (trampled on the way out of the theatre). Violent/ sexual games don't cause either of these things. And if they DO end up causing mental or (somehow)...
