    Poll: Help finalize the list of contenders for the Second Annual Reader's Choice Game of the Year

    My vote goes to Wolfenstein, but I hope both it and The Wolf Among Us make it. The New Order was my first Wolfenstein game, and I expected just mindless shooting, as that was what I had heard. What I found instead was great game-play overall, along with a great story with great characters that...

    Poll: Opinions on Dragon Age Inquisition Companions

    So it seems we have a full roster for Dragon Age: Inquistion, and I wanted to get a feel for what new companions people liked most and why. Reasoning can be justified by story or gameplay. Before anyone asks, Varric is not on the list since he is not a new companion. Anyway, have at it, looking...

    The most irredeemably evil bastard in any videogame

    General Korbut, from Metro: Last Light. I can't really talk about why he's evil without involving spoilers so SPOILER WARNING. Aside from the super evil look, he wants the Red Line to have total control of the Metro via a super gruesome/painful biological weapon that lasts just long enough to...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Last Gen Release Date Slips Two Months

    I'm still torn on this game. It's definitely one of the better LOTR games I've seen, and nothing about it looks particularly bad, but I just can't shake the feeling that it isn't worth the full $60.00. I'll have to look at some reviews/lets plays when it comes out to be sure.

    Editor's Note: Why I Still Call Myself a Gamer

    Thanks for posting this Greg. Sometimes people, including myself, get so caught up in an argument that we forget why we're arguing about it in the first place. We're all here because we like games, and all of our expressions of disagreement are rooted in the desire to see things get better, or a...

    Letho in Witcher 3? (Spoilers)

    Letho was at the center of the plot of the Witcher 2, one of the "Assassins of Kings" referred to in the game's title. His survival is player determined, and Witcher 3 will apparently allow decision imports from past games, so his return is not out of the question. Letho has a very unique look...

    What are your favorite board/card games?

    I would say chess is my favorite board game. It doesn't really matter if it is a physical board or online, human or AI, I just really enjoy the game itself. Yu-Gi-Oh would be my favorite card game, as I have fond memories of playing it with my brother all the time when we were younger. We...

    Why I Am (Tentatively) Excited About Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

    I think tentative excitement nicely sums up my feelings on the game as well. I still have no intention of pre ordering or obtaining a season pass, but I will definitely be keeping an eye on it. The last Call of Duty game that I bought was Modern Warfare 2, though I did borrow MW3 from my brother...

    Favorite Game of this Console Generation

    So with this console generation starting to wind down, I thought it would be fun to see what game people enjoyed most. You can only pick one game, but it can be for any reason(s) (gameplay, story, etc.) as long as it came out on a console this generation. Feel free to explain why it's your...

    Playstation 4 Questions

    So like many of you I am disappointed by the Xbox One and am looking into a PlayStation 4. However, there are several lingering questions I still have about the system. I've browsed the web a bit but I haven't been able to find anything, so if anyone can answer one or more of these I would be...

    Poorly Reviewed Games You Enjoyed

    Advent Rising: got pretty poor reviews but I loved the story and soundtrack so I enjoyed it despite a lot of legitimate complaints.

    Poll: do you think ME2 is to blame for most issues in ME3?

    I think so, and arguably the original Mass Effect as well. I am not saying the games weren't good in their own right, but I think a lot of the plot points that frustrate people would have flowed more smoothly (Crucible/Cerberus/Catalyst,etc.) if more groundwork had been laid in the previous...

    What are your thoughts on Jade Empire?

    Jade Empire is actually my favorite Bioware game to date. It was a nice self contained story with a good plot and great characters. The fighting mechanics are a bit easy once you get the hang of it but I really liked them. Given how low the price is for it now I would definitely recommend giving...

    Poll: Favorite Dragon Age Origin

    While waiting to hear what kind of character origins will be available in Dragon Age 3: Inquisition (if any), I wanted to get a sense of what origins people liked most from the original game. Feel free to explain why in the comments, your choice can be for any reason (personal preference...
