Name a game in which your character can die. As in, if you mess up your game is over. No. Almost every game, if you mess up you start back a little, with some minor penalty. Kirby is no different. You lose your beads and you respawn. If anything, the death penalty in Kirby's Epic Yarn is...

There is no time "before" the Big Bang. The Big Bang is Time Zero. All matter has always existed, but there is a definite beginning to existence. Also, the universe is not infinite in size (or volume). It is finite. There's not empty space out there. Space, itself, is expanding with the universe.

Browning 9mm with staggered clip. It's comfy. I like comfy things.

What's not acceptable is not defending your supply lines - including (especially) your supply of respawned units.

Neverwinter Nights 2 - completely unplayable in co-op mode.

A beautiful game horribly mauled by repetitive gameplay elements, clunky combat and a UI designed to cause carpel tunnel. In my opinion, 2008 was a poor year for games. The best game I played in 2008 was re-playing The Witcher from 2007. Oh, and the Left 4 Dead demo (if you've played the demo...

What an awful ending to this game. Certainly their are flaws throughout, but nothing as bad as the way it just ends.

Myth: The Fallen Lords The Operative: No One Lives Forever

NWN2 I bought it to have fun playing the campaign cooperatively, like I did with NWN years back. Mistake. After playing The Witcher, going back to NWN2 is like playing My Little Pony.

The only MMO I've ever played was WoW. Why did I quit? 1. Not enough end-game content. Once I've seen a dungeon three times, I've SEEN it. Give me something more. I'm not obsessive-compulsive enough to find doing the same thing over and over again entertaining. 2. Constantly changing...

Complaining about this would be like complaining about free candy. I really enjoyed The Witcher. Once this upgrade comes out, I might enjoy a second play-thru.

Why?

Even though I loved the game, I almost quit the demo halfway through because it took me awhile to learn to control movement and camera position. No, it's not nearly as awful as NWN2. And yes, the prologue is almost one big cut scene. Much of Act I is generic with a poor ending (you'll see it...

Took a watch to the game. Got the following loading times. upstairs-to-downstairs - instant (less than a second) enter building (1st time) - 4 seconds enter building (subsequent times) - 3 seconds enter outdoor section (Trade Quarter, first time) - 22 seconds enter outdoor section (Trade...

Yes. The NWN2 engine is called something different (I want to say it's the Infinity engine), but it evolved from the Aurora engine, too. Having built modules in NWN, I would have to differ with the opinion that CD Projekt didn't improve the game engine. If I get the chance, I'll time a few...
