    Which game/sequel are you most disappointed never happened?

    Star Wars: Republic Commando (just imagining a sequel with the Frostbite 2 engine makes me weak in the knees) Command and Conquer: Generals (I know its not the best C&C game, but I really liked it) Populous: the Beginning (I would give a lot to see a modern version of Populous, I loved...

    EA Boycott?

    I play on Xbox so I don't need Origin. I don't use any EA forums (unless BSN counts). I like EA's games too much. If you want to boycott them go for it - I understand that EA has been doing some shady (to say the least) stuff, and I understand why people would want to boycott their games...

    No bathrooms in Skyrim (or: the treatment of bathrooms in games?)

    ME2 had bathrooms. There were three on the Normandy (Captain's, male and female) and there were toilets in one of the clubs on the Citadel. I think this is the only game I've ever played that included bathrooms. Although you can play Saints Row 3 AS a toilet...

    Rumor: Dragon Age Getting Multiplayer

    I'm guessing I'm the only person who kinda likes the idea. Its built on Frostbite 2. A PvP arena won't impact any SP. YOU CAN PLAY AS A DRAGON. Like ME3, I'd rather it stayed SP only but I'm not gonna go ballistic about something I know next to nothing about and has yet to be confirmed...

    Hardest decision you've ever had to make in a Video Game?

    ME2 spoilers. (I don't really know how to do the spoiler box thing - I don't post here often). Legion's loyalty mission in ME2. Rewrite (brainwash) or destroy the Heretic Geth for their beliefs. Garrus' loyalty mission in ME2. Help a friend hunt down and assassinate someone who...

    Poll: According to my peers, PC gaming is inferior to consoles.

    On the one hand, the PC clearly has better graphics, more precise controls (although I personally prefer a controller for everything except RTS games), modding capabilities, arguably better communities and cheaper games. On the other hand, DRM is more intrusive on the PC, things like Origin...

    Poll: Most "evil" video game publisher?

    Do you mean Ubisoft? They were the ones saying 95% of PC gamers would pirate the game anyway, and they were the ones who have dropped at least 2 games from the PC in the last week alone.

    Poll: Most "evil" video game publisher?

    I don't think EA are that bad. They used to be pretty bad, but then they started taking on new IPs, such as Dead Space or Crysis. Unlike, say, Activision, EA gives developers more time. When Activision forced developers to rush production of sequels like Tony Hawk or Guitar Hero -...

    Ubisoft Kills Ghost Recon: Future Soldier on PC

    But OutrageousEmu is right - £50 is a happy medium. A large pizza costs about £12 and lasts maybe an hour. A decent meal can cost £40/£50 and lasts a couple of hours. Even a short game like Portal 2 provides dozens of hours of entertainment for £50 - the same as four pizzas. Something like...

    Ubisoft Kills Ghost Recon: Future Soldier on PC

    Wow, that is a bit of a dick move by Ubisoft. The PC does have far more widespread piracy than consoles, but it can't be anything like the 95% figure they're suggesting. Oh well, I'm a console gamer anyway so this isn't a big deal for me. The only Ubisoft games I play are Splinter Cell and...

    The simple solution to the Metacritic problem

    Wouldn't stop things like zero-bombing. Hundreds of people would just rate up the zero reviews.

    The simple solution to the Metacritic problem

    The way to do it would be to delete user reviews that are too much higher or lower than the critic reviews. Scores that fall outside of this range would be ignored. For example, if critics rate a game as 6/10 then the user scores should be expected to fall between about 4 and 8, with a few...

    Top 3 FPS this gen

    Of this generation? I guess that doesn't include HL2, so: Bioshock CoD 4 Halo 3 (I'll probably get some hate for this, but its inclusion of 4-player co-op, the customization in custom games, the forge, the theater and Bungie's incredible support post-launch meant that Halo 3 set a new...

    Well EA MIGHT have been a little shadier than previously known.(emphasis on might is necessary)

    I'm not sure your tin-foil hat is shiny and obvious enough. Anyway, the media hates videogames - the news would've pounced on this in an instant.
