I suppose this is true, but I don't think the Amiga, Commodore or Atari ST really hold a large share of the market these days.

RPGs have traditionally been multiplayer. Story driven? yes. Character Development? yep. Narrative? Absolutely. But none of these things are a replacement for sitting down and co-operating with a group of friends to accomplish a goal. Multiplayer, done right, is the best way to run a role...

D'oh! Sorry mate!

The behaviour of a helicopter or aeroplane is dependent on the air quality, to an extent. Even if you had the ability to scan the atmosphere of an unexplored world, you would probably need to make modifications to the vehicle before launch: air/fuel mix, rotor speed/engine output, resilience to...

Sigh... Kids these days. Time for a bit of a history lesson. We're talking about Bioware here. A company that built its legacy on top of multiplayer role-playing games. Baldur's Gate, anyone? Neverwinter Nights, anyone? RPGs are a single player experience? You poor antisocial sod...

I'll stop buying 2nd hand when someone publishes a game worth buying. $50-$60 for 5 hours of content? There's your thief right there. Of course, I'm not talking about buying 2nd hand on release week. There are plenty of good games already out there. I can wait months for yours.

I wish a company would say "We're going to take the FPS experience back to 1995". I'd buy all their games.

Completely disagree on this principle. Movies need Mature certificates to contain adult content. A great, dark story could be envisioned without the need for gratuitous violence, gore, porn. Ratings boards are a lot more lenient about content when it is only there to back up a great story. I...

Ok, I can beat this dead horse. Firstly, I'll say that The original TV show is an adaptation of an even more excellent Radio Series with a brilliant cast. Anything else pales in comparison. So a lot of my dislike of the film is biased because I thought the Radio show cast were so good. I...

Honestly? This isn't an excuse for piracy. You bought a game, so you have the right to play the game. If it doesn't work then the correct course of action is to contact the publisher or developer to work out the issue. Perhaps you've stumbled across a broader issue with their system... don't...

Right, right. Nintendo are too good to make direct sequels like Super Mario Galaxy 2. Don't expect to see Nintendo re-releasing old titles like Super Mario World just to squeeze a few extra gold coins out of their fans. [disclaimer: Aforementioned Nintendo Fan]

Choices are cool. Character development is cool. What we're worried about is getting a corridor shooter with levels loosely tied together by a shallow hub-world. (Mass Effect 2 already started us down that path, good though it was.) Hide the numbers behind story elements, for sure. I've...

I am required by law to warn you that that last solution was looking pretty good.

Not really. Anonymous have not claimed responsibility or involvement in this episode. In fact they have denied it. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109475-Anonymous-on-PSN-Outage-For-Once-We-Didnt-Do-It Now, you can speculate on whether a subset of Anon are to blame, but the fact...

They ended up with Black Ops. Mission Accomplished.
