In similar games you end up having gold in your bank because it generates over time and people don't log in that often to spend it all. Plus you have to save up for big items. No idea how they'll be handling defense replacement though. Looking forward to entering the beta, though the open...

There's a lot of games like this without any real player input - where you simply have 1000 attack army and 4 turrets and 200 troops in a defense army, and you send the army out and other people attack you without actually influencing the battles. Actually setting up the defense and actually...

Guild Wars 2 is out, it's good, and it's like a love-letter to World of Warcraft and anyone who wanted to play that game but found it stupid, as they'e specifically re-engineer all the things people mock about WoW. instead of 120 skills you get 10. Instead of killing wolves to fetch hearts only...

Ironically, the shooter that will eventually outsell Call of Duty will be something disruptive - something new, nothing like Call of Duty, that takes chances and redefines the genre. You'll never outsellf Call of Duty with a CoD-like game, because the CoD fans are used to it already, and like it...

I mean, how is it surprising that players like Ellie more when the main character is another stubbled-bearded short-brown-haired athletic male whose name starts with a 'J'?

Whats with all the normies bashing on our relationships suck thread? Maybe some of us are single adult virgins with no prospects and we want to commiserate together about how valentines day is totally made up by big corporations :P It's kind of funny, I meet so few people as a true antisocial...

Just finished Tomb Raider and was thinking about reboots - what's the general feeling about these things?

I like the idea of starting a National Games Association that will get the same sort of law-influencing power as the NRA. Someone from the states, get working on that!

GoldenEye was the one and only 'great' game based off a movie.

Like someone said earlier, EA is most like making 90% of the micro-transaction money from 10% of the people playing their games. Odds are high that 10% is fulled with people who don't give a kitten, whether it's kids with parents buying their games, rich people or 'casuals' who just want...

Micro transactions or 60$ launch price EA - it's one or the other. I'm glad all the talent left Bioware so I won't be missing to on any games when I boycott EA

Assuming the Xbox 3 announcement event ends up like the PS4 one, I feel like these anti-consumer policies are forcing me onto the PC platform. I don't want a media box, I don't want social integration, I don't want kinect or move or waggle remotes - I want to play games without a hastle, and...

Between my massive backlog of xbox games to play yet, my recent positive PC experiences with AirMech and Guild Wars 2, and the anti-consumer stupidity of Microsoft turning further and further away from their core demographic, I was already thinking of eschewing the new console generation. The...

Skyrim was great and all, but I much preferred Fallout 3's quests so here's hoping it's not just a tv show.

As game companies are bought and sold and merged and stripped, close and reopen, and so on, I'm finding it less and less useful to just look at the name of the company that makes a game as a recommendation. I'm wondering who exactly among devs is most likely to be responsible for the parts of a...
