    F2P online FPS-es

    Thanks all, I guess I'll take another look at Blacklight anf Tribes, and a new look at Shootmania. Just to clarify, although I own TF2, I never played it much, I'm not a fan of the mechanics or aethetics of the game. I have nothing against class FPSes, but I like damage and guns to be...

    F2P online FPS-es

    The challenge is to find a new F2P FPS for me to play. Here's a few titles I actually remember playing: A.V.A. (UT3 engine, played it to death) A.P.B. Reloaded (UT3 engine, gun and car mechanics are sub-par) Parabellum (low playerbase, so-so game mechanics) War Rock (hackers) War inc...

    Favourite Developers of Yesteryear

    Toika, Troika and Troika! Also Westwood Studios.

    CoD is a very good game, we wouldn't be discussing it if it wasn't.

    People talk about CoD because COD4 was a good and vaguely innovative game. The sequels haven't really added much, with the exception of money to the publishers' bank accounts, and rage to the internet. Mind you, the BF series is much the same, it reached its zenith with BF2 and hasn't really...

    Your Favourite DLC (Downloadable Content)

    Only ones I've played are all the DLCs for Oblivion, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas. Of those, Old World Blues was, subjectively, the best. I say that because due to the scope of F:NV, you often lose track of the plot, finding yourself wandering through the radioactive wasteland, shooting...

    EA Gets Ready to Throw Down With Steam - UPDATED

    If it requires you to run it to play the game and autopatches for you (as steam does) I'll not be using this platform.

    Games you couldn't wait for that turned out to be huge disappointments.

    Every single attempt to combine RPG and FPS games, with the notable expections of Deus Ex and Mass Effect.

    Why did Warhammer mmo 'W.A.R.' never become big?

    As people have stated, a "fantasy" setting MMORPG is in direct competition with WoW (where the playerbase is), and it simply didnt offer anything significant over WoW for players to move to it. The 40k MMO might have more luck, if they actually put in the work on the shooter aspect of it - so...

    Battlefield 3 to be EA's Biggest Launch of All Time

    What's the opposite to gold? Lead? Well, then EA have a lead touch. For every success, they have three disappointments. I like BF2, I liked CoD4 and I've disliked everything that's followed. They bought out Westwood, makers of the massively popular and well designed C&C series: what do they do...

    Is the single player content in darkspore worth $70

    Played in the Beta, and the answer is a categorical no. No aspect (nor all of them combined) is worth that much. About time people stopped paying extortionate prices for god-awful games. This plays like an arcade game, and as such belongs in the 'bargain bucket'.

    PopCap Mounts the Unpleasant Horse

    That snatch of song in the trailer sounds like it has Serj Tankian singing, anyone know what it is?

    Let us talk, you and I, about Blizzard

    Ironically I can't post on their forums since I've not bought any of their games since diablo II Lord of Destruction. However, given my experience in LoD, they are quite willing to accomidate the playerbase responses and feedback.

    Let us talk, you and I, about Blizzard

    As much as I dislike WoW, and it's demon-spawn (ie "wow-clones"), it, Starcraft and Diablo I & II are without a doubt a part of video game history. Furthermore, using an existing intellectual property to bring in fans of the previous games is in no way bad providing you're adding a proportionate...

    Global Agenda

    For those who aren't familiar with it, it's a Sci-Fi MMO FPS with a few RPG-ish elements (skills, PvE dungeons, loots). I wanted to be in the beta, but wasn't selected. Played a trial account, didn't think much of it. Anyway, since they are offering the game for $10 with proceeds going to...

    Make achivement for old Game

    Or, we just remove achievements from current games. :) Yes, I think I like my solution a lot better.
