I played The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for at least half a day at some point.

Speaking of free stuff...you can't pirate games on an Xbox! ;) Nah, I buy my stuff fair and square.

Neither can I! It's baffling to me. It's the same crap people have been saying since the Wii/360/PS3 were all released.

It's comforting to know that, at the end of each year, I can have a good laugh by looking at every gaming media outlet and reading their solemn words about how "while many believe PC gaming is dead, _____ proved to be a suprising year..." Uh huh. World of Warcraft just passed 11.5 million...

Well that was boring. Jesus Christ, it wasn't that funny. Stop jerking off to the man, you guys are the type of people that he keeps making fun of.

I used to have a pretty bad Civilization IV addiction. Like the type of addiction you would expect from a WoW gamer.

I think it's harmless.

GTA IV is great, but anyone who thinks it's some work of art needs to get their heads examined. From Game Informer: "I now know how critics felt after screening The Godfather." The Godfather > GTA IV

The only web comic I've enjoyed was Concerned. Everything else just sucks, including Penny Arcade.

Is the sky blue? Of course there's sexism in video games.

You're actually arguing that Half-Life is not an old-school shooter at heart? That's unbelievable. None of those were particularly innovative and they're all still very simple. Look at the squad segments; you point the cursor at a spot and they move. That's it. The puzzles are very basic as well.

Trench warfare probably isn't as exciting as storming the beaches of Normandy. Battles wouldn't be much more than running for your life across no man's land. And who would want to play with those primitive weapons, anyway? Multiplayer could be cool. Having 100+ other people charge the...

Why are we even arguing about this? Some of your suggestions, as stupid as I find them to be, may in fact make Half-Life a better game that will still satisfy its fans but completely defeat the purpose of the Half-Life series: to be a deliberately old-school type of shooter. None of this even...

How about criticizing Half-Life based on its own merits instead of Halo's? That would make a lot more sense...

This game just sucked, pure and simple.
