6 Lord of the Rings films, one for each book, would have been much better; although I don't know how successful they'd have been with the general audience, given that one or two books would be pretty devoid of battles, or largely consist of Frodo and Sam walking. As a gigantic fan of the...

Last year's game was the first triple-A game I've enjoyed in quite a long time (indeed, I haven't played a decent AAA game since), so I'm pretty excited about this. I feel like I'm the only person who quite likes the title, but oh well.

You seem to have an odd view of what pacifists think. Pacifists are not against violence only on the premise that they themselves are being defended. I know of no pacifists who like their own country's military. They do not "expect protection" from the military; that's the whole point. And...

Yes, I believe in pacifism. You might think there is little choice in a situation, but that doesn't make it morally right to kill someone. I don't believe it is ever right to kill someone. Taking another life is simply wrong, under all circumstances for me. How on earth is pacifism...

Hmm. Well, either way, they have delivered what they promised. People are owed nothing other than what they bought

Backers are not investors in the business sense. Yes, they are investing their money for themselves, but only in the same way that I might 'invest' my money in a charity by donation. There is no obligation to do anything for your backers on Kickstarter. More to the point, there was never any...

Yeah, like how EA has ruined every game they've made, right? Fact: EA has made NO good games in the past 5 years. No wait... Mass Effect franchise was fantastic, Dragon Age: Origins was phenomenal, Dead Space is pretty good, Battlefield is a strong franchise... the list goes on. All of these...

So EA bought the Star Wars licence a couple of months ago in order to make sure that no Star Wars are ever made? You're thinking of the movie tie-ins. EA/Disney said they would not be making shovelware movie tie-in games - which is a good thing. But they've confirmed they have several Star...

The PS4 and Xbox One are cheap PCs, but the Wii U is different, it actually feels unique compared to the other two. I disagree that the Wii U is innovative - to me it seems like a hi-res Wii - but it's definitely a bit different. The only thing Sony and Microsoft's consoles have going for them...

I think we have different understandings of what the friendzone is. Where I come from, it's when a guy likes a girl but she wants to just be friends rather than be in a relationship. Of course relationships involve sex, but the idea of the friendzone is nothing to do with sex. It's not about...

Uh. I respect and agree with Jim's views most of the time, but I think he's really wrong here. I don't believe that sex scenes in Bioware games are forced, or at the very least they don't feel it (which is what counts). When I played Dragon Age: Origins the first time, I genuinely fell in...

The Playstation Eye isn't a government camera, so I think I would choose that one if I was forced to buy into motion control.

I generally think Polygon is alright, but that interview was horrific. Kotaku is interesting because the vast majority of it, like the other Gawker sites, is just rubbish, but because there's so much on there, they do have some original journalism. Polygon is far superior to Kotaku overall in my...

Yeah, I genuinely find his voice relaxing. I'm a fellow Briton, by the way. He has perhaps the only tolerable northern accent I've ever heard. It's really nice. I honestly doubt he is putting the voice on. And with regard to being divisive - I think it's good. It creates arguments, and I love...

Totalbiscuit is superb. Honestly, I think he's the best Youtube personality, period. He is blunt, honest and consistent with his opinions, and his thoughts are usually rational, unlike an awful lot of other people's. I do sometimes disagree with his views, but I enjoy listening to them because...
