No content worth viewing on the front page... yeah, I don't have any hopes for this site. I've got no reason to come here now bar ZP. Escapist has no content.

I tend to agree that what the Fireflies were doing was wrong. There had to be better ways - more tests, more options to consider. They were not in the right, morally or ethically. Joel's actions were absolutely moral. Whether they were ethical is another matter entirely. Remember: morals...

I didn't even think Bill was gay. Ever. I assumed that Ellie was just making jokes; it never occurred to me to take them in any way seriously.

I didn't say the entire world revolved around it - I'm saying it has blighted Ellie's life since conception. One of the things that Last of Us does right is to explore how people react when the world goes to hell. A lot of the "villains" in the game are people just doing what they feel is...

Okay, I am going to say this RIGHT NOW that I am about to go into a very dark place with my theory about what Ellie is. If you lack the emotional and mental maturity to handle that, I suggest you skip right on by this post. All the sensitive types gone? Good. Here's my take. Ellie's world...

Escapist, please be more accurate with your news posts. You don't get access to the Doom Beta by pre-ordering Wolfenstein: New Order; you get a copy of Wolfenstein: New Order when you sign up for the Doom Beta. ;)

Issues with GW generally fall into two categories; the price of their stuff, and the pay to win attitude. It's no coincidence that the units with the best stats are always the stuff that are brand new and never existed before now. Their aim is to make people keep having to rebuy their army every...

My vote is Syndicate. X-Com got a successful isometric reboot, so why can't Syndicate?

The hallucination thing was done really well in a 2000AD strip. A Judge with PTSD after the Robot Wars (it's a sci-fi story series btw) starts seeing "robots" everywhere. In one shot you see a wife and an infant together, watching in terror as the Judge guns people down. In the next scene you...

Actually, the point about your allies could well be another reference to the inherent stupidity of many games. Think about it; how many games have you played where you encounter an NPC and almost immediately you think "he's a traitor", or see a situation and know it's a trap? Think how...

Well, we're officially into the 8th Console Generation now that the PS4 and XBox One are out and swinging, so I thought it was a good opportunity to sit down and chat about the consoles now past. Just a heads up, I'm posting spoilers and inviting everyone else to do the same, so if you don't...

Yeah, because EVERYONE lost interest in Sonic, Mario, Half Life, Metal Gear Solid, etc. without DLC to tide us over...

I am not wowed by massive breasts on characters. It can work if done for comedic effect, but played straight it only takes away from the game in my opinion.

No. We should never stop hating on that console. We all saw what they intended the XBone to be, and for that they should be punished without end. That console deserves to be the biggest commercial flop in the history of the gaming industry. They deserve to tank so hard that they have to drop out...

This is correct in nature, not in Humanity. In nature, pack species survive because of the pack. A group of wolves or lions or whatever can take on and bring down larger prey. Moreover, a lone hunter that is injured is dead; a group might, in theory, look after the wounded member until it...
