I wasn't gonna post here, but I think it's worth it to say... I enjoyed this... please don't stop doing them? As for those arguing against it... I don't believe that Bob is actually saying "This is the point of the games!" he's pointing out various forms of imagery which can be interpreted as...

I have been playing it off-and-on since it came out. It managed to replace Red Dead Redemption as my "current game" :) It's... bad... but good :) The truth is, the game doesn't feel "unfinished" and it's not particuly glitchy, or buggy. It just feels... cheap. It doesn't feel worth £39.99. If...

I get that you might care personally about this and hey, I have friends in the games industry too and a couple of them have had to be cut through budget cuts too, but pretending that it's "my" (the consumer's) fault that this DRM is in place is a little exaggerated. I don't pirate and I tell my...

Second. Silent Hunter 5 used it first. I don't know if Command and Conquer 4 used the same system or one based on it, but either way... But yeah, you're right. Good game famous for the wrong reasons.

It's a good point that for ConViction for example, people have been waiting years now. Waiting a couple of weeks more -shouldn't- be a problem (though I suspect it would be for pirates :)) As for drawing attention... Well... it's news :) It's hard to deny so...

Just a point to start it all off. I was planning to buy Creed 2 on the PC (I previously had the PS3 version and traded-in my copy (I know, the second evil of video retail)), but changed my mind after the DRM. That's one lost sale. Also, I was planning to buy Splinter Cell ConViction on launch...

"One of the great laws of war is Never invade Russia" - Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery "History knows no greater display of courage than that shown by the people of the Soviet Union" - Secretary of War Henry Stimson

Every country played their part as they say. Truly the war was a jumbo jet balanced on a pinhead. If any side wasn't involved it would've gone badly for us all. The Russians managed the Eastern Front and lost much in the vanguard. The Polish were invaded early, but fought for their...

As always, it's a case of there's some people to whom there is real racism, and these are the people who truly hate Europeans/US/FSR/Asians/Aussies/Kiwis/everythingesle. There is also the far other end of the spectrum where there are people who are so sensitive that the word "Limey" makes them...

I've rarely seen an unprotected back to be honest :) Just because they're not looking doesn't mean there's no armour there :) (Arms and legs aren't insta-kills either), but I rarely find that someone -doesn't- die from one throwing knife...

I know I can't shut up about the book, but... :) There's a funny/awkward moment in the book when someone tells Artyom about the Nazis. The guy says that they barricade themselves against "the Dark Ones" (being Nazis, he's not talking about the mutants :)) and Artyom freaks out saying like "Oh...

I know it might seem like an odd thing to say, but I've never noticed any competition for customers :) According to wiki... *looks up* it's sold in a lot of places, but nowhere too near Canadia :) Seeing as Mr.Mike reminded me of the original topic... :) I remember I started to really care...

It's actually not what you might imagine :) It's not really "about" the causes (although they often talk about various causes in the magazine.) It's just a really popular magazine with everything from music and film news through to political news. The idea is that it sells to the kind of people...

It's a bit different from that actually :) Celebrities do things like... a quiz show, where the winner gets 1 million pounds to donate to a charity of their choice, or a reality show where the winner gets the same. Publicity for a cause, publicity for the star and money for the cause. Seems...

Well, welcome to the community :) I don't know if you're in Britain, but here we have Comic Relief (a bunch of commedians go on TV and do things for charity. "If we get up to five million I'll shave my beard" and "If we get up to ten milllion we'll break the record for naked people on TV"...
