    Takatchi Plays Dead Space, Does Not Wet Pants.

    I clarified my recommendation a bit to indicate that this game is probably only going to be a hit with people who are already wanting for another survival horror attempt. BUT, I'm glad that the review is readable all the way through to the last sentence in the first place. :D

    Takatchi Plays Dead Space, Does Not Wet Pants.

    Caution: This review is lengthy, rambling, and contains strong language. Yes, I know I'm a little late on the bandwagon, but I'm getting to these games as I go! I can only play one Xbox at a time. Dead Space was an interesting title to me ever since I first saw the teaser trailer...

    Takatchi plays Gears of War 2, becomes chainsaw mass-murderer

    I always thought one of the selling points of the series was that your main characters are colossal man-rhinoceroses instead of pretty-boy action heroes. Anyway, thanks for the praise and feedback so far everyone. :D

    Takatchi plays Gears of War 2, becomes chainsaw mass-murderer

    WARNING: This is a long article. Christmas holiday was good to me, and I came out with several games that I look forward to playing. The one I decided to start off with was Gears of War 2. Let me begin by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed Gears of War. I played it through on every...

    The Escapist's EVE online group!

    I recently got an offer to reactivate my EVE account for 5 days. I think I will, and join this group. Prove to me that there's a reason to play this single-player MMO.

    Do I just like bad games?

    Y'know, I always find that in the movies and such, whatever the critics loved I always end up hating - and the movies that bomb and cause their production studios to close down are among my favorite films of all time. Video games are the same way, and I don't trust most review sites to give...

    Does anybody actually like sonic unleashed?

    I haven't actually played the game, but I haven't liked a one since Sonic Adventure. Since Sonic games are about running fast and collecting rings and beating bosses in three hits, I can't imagine the storyline of Unleashed is compelling, regardless of gameplay mechanics, simply because it...

    Ask the internet. Episode V - Girls on the internet?

    I find it slightly interesting that every single discussion about female gamers inevitably boils down into "girl gamers get treated differently because they are girls." What if I just want to talk about girl gamers as a social phenomenon and a potential exposition on how games, like...

    Most under rated games you ever enjoyed.

    Final Fantasy IX. It's like, the least-loved Final Fantasy I've ever seen. Nobody I know enjoyed it, but they enjoyed the confusing and mechanically-alien FF8, and most folks I know tout FF7 as the god of all Final Fantasies. 9 wasn't critically hated, but it sold worse than either...

    Ask the internet. Episode V - Girls on the internet?

    I don't know about the rest of you, but I've found gamer girls run the gamut. To be incredibly shallow for a moment, I know a ton of gamer girls who are very good looking! Not that I share the outlook of some of the very pants-on-head retards from the post screenshots, but there is a certain...

    Twilight (Movie Review)

    I'm really tired of these vampire crazes that portray them as romantic, trouble, emo creatures of the ambiguously-sunsetting-twilight. Nothing in the world can make me watch this movie, after all the reviews and opinions of it and its book series. And I'm not going to watch a vampire movie...

    Zero Punctuation: Spore

    Hype is probably the thing that is killing gaming generations from here on out, because marketing is so painfully cheap and good game design is apparently incredibly expensive. This makes me glad I didn't reserve a copy of SPORE and decided to wait it out. :(

    Isalan's Wrath of the Lich King preview

    A pretty good overall look at Wrath, but like RAM said up there, there's not a lot of personal opinion. I for one am very critical of WoW because of its claim to fame as "THE MMO." I'm not looking forward to Wrath, and in this review you basically covered some features and other things that I...

    Overall WoW appeal

    I enjoyed WoW while I played it. It's basically taken the various cookie cutters from popular MMORPGs and standardized them, kind of like how way back in the day England was using a billion systems of measurement that changed every year before somebody sat down and said "OK, we're doing it THIS...
