Not in the eyes of the writers pehaps, but certainly in the eyes of a whole lot of fans... Do you know why homosexual fanfiction is called "slash"? Because of the little dividing character in "Kirk/Spock" - a storytelling staple rampant LONG before the Internetzorz. :D

As I've mentioned in previous "video-game-voices" threads, in the ME titles Jennifer Hale does the best voice work I've ever heard in a game. (If a description is needed, I think "a hundred nuances of kickass" would be appropriate.) That said, it's not the voice alone which makes a character -...

Have you seen the achievement requirements for Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2? Good. Now, have you actually played the game? Seriously, what kind of person would put themselves through 11 months of uninterrupted shittiness to earn enough virtual cash to buy 6000 similar swimsuits and...

OK, after 2 years of faithful service, my 360 is starting to crap out on me. When starting up ME2 (one of my most anticipated games ever), I was treated to a system freezeup with those dotted white vertical lines across the screen. This was repeated for 3 restarts. THEN it suddenly kicks off...

Nope, Neverwinter Nights 2 STILL wins.:P

I wanted to play through all of it before commenting, and having done that I can say that Good morning blues has the right idea. Baldur's Gate 2 is still unsurpassed when it comes to RPG storytelling, and Dragon Age didn't come close. First off, I'm a huge Bioware fan and all their previous...

The 360 version looks like crap, texture- and environmentwise. Don't know if it's SUPPOSED to look that way since I haven't tried the other versions, but I was surprised to see such incredible low resolution clothes and flimsy objects (like trees) in a current generation game. The avatar meshes...

I'll agree on Nicholas Cage and Will Ferrell, but I'll raise you one and mention Rob Schneider.

I'm a R.Y.N.O. man myself, but the "Pocket Airstrike" in Mercenaries (obtained by getting 100%) is a close second for me.:)

Oh drat, got beaten to mentioning NWN2. God that was BAD.

To me, it always felt like "wow, 100-foot monsters, what an awesome idea", but they couldn't be bothered to think up a proper motivation or story for this awesomeness so the left the player to "fill in the blanks" and got branded as being "poignant" and "thought-inspiring" as an extra bonus. To...

I loved the animated series, and I've had this on pre-order since May (when it was originally supposed to be released). I hope it's going to be as great as it seems, but I heard something about the reviews being a bit of a "Kane & Lynch" deal; that is, only publications promising to give it at...

Some good suggestions already made, but I have to say... Okami. THE best game I played on the PS2, sort of Zelda goes JRPG with really beautiful graphics and a great story. Look it up if you don't know about it already!

This.

Bioware gets mentioned a lot, with good reason, but only Jade Empire and Mass Effect... How time flies - turn back time 8-9 years and you'll find the Bioware game with THE best romances - Baldur's Gate 2. Sure, it doesn't have 3D graphics or anything fancy, but the writing is superb (or better)...
