    UPDATED: New Fallout Coming From Original Fallout Devs

    It'd be really cool if it was in the same perspective as the first three Fallouts (if we count Tactics), but I think it would be a hard sell to gamers who have already experienced Fallout 3. They wouldn't want to go back in time to an older type of gameplay. Granted, I'd still buy it, and I...

    To the people who don't pirate: Is life really so bad?

    If a company has stopped receiving money from a game, like it's an old PC game that I can't find anywhere except some dude in Utah who doesn't know about "fair price strategy", then I pirate if I can. If the game is new, I'll buy directly from the publisher. If their prices are somewhat off...

    Escapist Radio

    There were four episodes of Escapist Radio, which was pretty much the old crew of Gamers With Jobs Radio, meaning Russ Pitts and Sean Sands. I enjoyed the four that were released quite a bit, but after a "We'll be taking a little break" message it fell off the face of the site forever.

    Side Quests, Are they worth it?

    I never have liked side quests since I simply want to beat the story of the game. If I'm asked to hop around for three hours fighting the same ol' fights simply because I can get a slightly better weapon when I was already doing fine then no. BUT if the side quest is worthwhile and is not out of...

    Best accidental find?

    Oh this one is so easy. I was at a friend's house playing a little bit of Morrowind as I waited for dinner to finish and I saw a copy of the Blade Runner game for the PC. I asked him if I could borrow it, and he said I could keep it since he never played it and hated the film. He had "received...

    Poll: Resident Evil,.. Fandabidabulous or not?

    I still do not get why the entire gaming world went completely nuts for RE4. I played it, and wasn't impressed. Give me the remake of the original on the Gamecube any day.

    The haters of Halo

    The first one kept the Xbox alive. The sequels were nothing more than shiny multi-player cash cows masquerading as a single-player experience.

    How do you read game reviews?

    I read the text and completely ignore the score of a game since I tend to get sidetracked if I want to buy a game that was scored a 6. If there isn't any numerical value assigned to something then it's much easier in the decision-making process. I can stomach a game a lot easier that "has a few...

    What have you been playing lately?

    I technically have only been playing Guitar Hero II, and that's off and on for an hour or two every couple of days. I just learned of the wonders of co-op mode due to finally finding a second guitar, so that's fun. When you suck at a song but your friend is sucking worse beside you it doesn't...

    Nintendo Plans Wii Strap Education

    I recently got my grubby hands on a Wii of my own, and I can see how the little remotes could turn into white missles. After I opened the box and got passed the obligatory "Holy freaking crap, I'm holding a brand new system in my hands for the first time" feelings, I was just toying around...

    Where's Radio?

    Ah, so there is life left in the radio. I think I speak for the majority of the listeners when we say that we enjoy the chemistry/sexual electricity that you and Certis have in the show. You have great banter, good dialogue, and great voices for the podcast. As long as you don't change that...
