Well, at least according to former executive Hisashi Suzuki: Link Usually I'd chalk this up as sour grapes, but looking a the whole picture - he does have a point; the Square brand name doesn't carry as much weight now as it did before the merger with Enix. Most would argue the games...

The SWTOR free-to-play model is extremely stripped down. It's an obvious bait and switch from EA to get players to subscribe and have access to all the basic features of the full game. But to play devils advocate; I can understand limiting the online features like warzones and flashpoints, but...

I wouldn't take metacritic seriously. Way too many people make accounts on the site simply to write troll reviews and give games 0/10 scores out of spite. But to answer your question TC, no I don't think its possible to please 100% of any given fanbase. People in general are just more vocal &...

I tried playing FFVII a few months back but I just couldn't stand it, the game looks like a bunch of jagged rocks covered in crayon vomit. Even SNES games look better by todays standards. I know graphics don't make the game but even I have my limits.

I definitely agree that games could do a job of making supporting characters feel more 'alive' and not rely on the main character as the fixture of their life. It just doesn't make for a healthy relationship when the one 'alpha' friend plays messiah with everyone's personal life. But since the...

Morrigan from Dragon Age 2 Alyx Vance from Half Life 2 Naoto Shirogane from Persona 4 Personally I can't stand Morrigans guts, but you don't need to like a character to appreciate how well developed they are. Bioware did a great job making her such a polarizing (albeit unlikable) character.

I'm an American man. I'll take naturals any day of the week. I'm not saying I hate implants, I just hate BAD implants that obviously look fake - which is most of them.

I used to swear by SNES, PS1, N64, Dreamcast, & PS2 but ever since I built my gaming rig - I haven't looked back. Unless I really want to play a console exclusive like Red Dead Redemption (damn you rockstar), then I'll dust off the PS3.

Chrono Trigger: The first RPG I really got into, and the reason I'm a gamer. Up until then all I knew was streets of rage, mario, & sonic. This was the first time I played a game that felt like an interactive book. I could explore the world, travel through time and enjoy a great story with...

lolis mowing down hoards of faceless monsters using over sized weapons? Don't get me wrong, I don't hate anime - I'm just not into THAT kind of anime. Seems a bit too shallow for my taste.

I just got back from a midnight taco bell run an hour ago...dead serious. I NEEDED a burrito.

Just be careful. You know....for fear of chafing...

Ugh, no thanks. I'm done with the whole ME3 ending fiasco. But anytime the community is willing to add more story content to a game - it just adds to the experience and proves just how much fans care (er, obsess) over a franchise. This is a good thing in the long run. That said, as...

Ezio is by far the most developed character. You really get to see him grow over the course of the game(s).

I honestly don't think it fits Star Wars very well, the whole robots, android & cyborgs with a soul angle is more into Blade Runner / Star Trek territory. As twisted mentioned earlier - it's too philosophical for the light vs dark mantra of Star Wars imo.
