    Poll: Sell me on (or warn me about) Guild Wars

    I started playing guild wars 1 a while back and loved it! The level cap was only 20 which was discouraging but not that big of deal. I started my three day head start on saturday and immediately fell in love with Guild wars 2. Level cap increased to 80, great graphics for an MMO, and free to...

    Poll: $60 bucks EB credit... what to do?

    I would skip Dragon's dogma. It's not a whole lot of fun after the first hour or two. Naruto is really fun but it was just a check out game, considering you can beat it and unlock almost everything within a week. I don't know much about Dynasty warriors so I can't really say anything about it...

    Poll: Which Game?

    Sleeping dogs looks awesome. If you ever played True Crime L.A. It'll be similar to that, which was a great game. The graphics look fantastic and the story sounds awesome. I played the first darksiders and that game was really fun. I can only imagine the second one getting better. I've only read...

    Soundtracks in games

    I love when games have a great soundtrack. It is definitely something I pay attention to while I play the game. I think my favorite soundtrack is from Super Mario Sunshine. All the songs in the game fit the mood while you're playing and it makes the game so much more enjoyable.

    Activating a phone

    Okay so I'm trading my iPhone 4 for a Droid 4 and I was wondering if anyone knew how to activate it. I know previously you would just call that verizon number from the new phone and it would just activate, but has that changed? Also would I need to do anything to my phone before I traded it...

    The Art Institute of Pittsburgh

    Yeah at any school you will do well if you try and put forth the effort. But as I said in my first post I'm going for game art and design more specifically for the development aspect. Not just straight up art. So from what I've heard from you guys that graduated and from people I've talked to...

    The Art Institute of Pittsburgh

    Thank you for your help. I've looked into full sail and to me it seems like a lot of the same thing. Except Full Sail is asking for $80+ and AIoP is asking for around $65 including books and software. I think I'm going to go with or the Art Institute, but like you said I will get out of it what...

    The Art Institute of Pittsburgh

    Yeah that makes sense. I really want to be on campus but being in Ohio, Pennsylvania was the closest game design school.

    The Art Institute of Pittsburgh

    Hmm.. Yeah I've looked at reviews for a lot of the art institutes and they all seem to have mixed reviews. I'll definitely have to keep Tampa in mind. A lot of people reviewing just keep going on about how it's a scam but I guess I just need a few reviews from people that actually graduated from...

    The Art Institute of Pittsburgh

    I was considering the online division. And do you know of any other schools that have a game design program?

    The Art Institute of Pittsburgh

    So I'm thinking about going to the AIoP for game art and design but I've seen a lot mixed reviews from students. Either it's the best or it's the worst and a lot of the bad reviews come from students with stupid reasons and terrible grammar, so I can't really base my decision off of them. Does...

    Poll: A Defense for Space Timmy's Presence at the end of ME 3

    As mentioned prior it's a direct rip off of deus ex, and an insulting one at that. I watched an interview with ray myzuka I think and he said that he was playing deus ex while finishing up mass effect 3. Inspiration is one thing but to completely rip it off and make a terrible ending, extended...

    Games = Violence ?!

    I find it kind of insulting that he would judge you so harshly based on a stupid stereotype that has been formed recently. In my opinion I think all of it is preference. Some people like sports games, RPGs, strategy games, fps, etc... But it doesn't make someone violent because they play video...

    I think this is why we need the Ouya...

    I mean yeah Minecraft will definitely be awesome, but it's not something that will make me buy the system. I want to see some good games being released on it at launch. But we have till march so I'm still excited to see whats in store for us.

    Your Day Z deaths

    I think my most frustrating death I've had was what made me stop playing for a while. I had been playing on one character for 12 hours. It was night time here in Ohio and I was playing with a friend who hasn't played before. So we jumped on a an EU server and we played for like an hour. I took...
