A GOOD Mercenaries 3. The first was one of my favorite games of the PS2/Xbox generation, I put hundreds of hours into just roaming around causing chaos and messing around (used to ferry around massive amounts of troops from factions that didnt like each other and kick off battles between them in...

I just finished Signal to Noise by Eric Nylund (author of the good Halo books), and as of right now it is my favorite thing I've ever read. Nylund's writing is absolutely bursting with rich descriptions and glorious metaphor. The techno-babble and pseudoscience can be a little daunting and...

I find myself liking performances from actors/celebs who voice act frequently, but one-offs are almost always lackluster. Keith David, Michael Hogan and Mark Hamill are examples of the former, and Kiefer Sutherland is getting up there now that he's done a few games. As much as I love Patrick...

Was playing Ghost Recon Future Soldier a few weeks back on the Pakistan level, and my character put his hand to his head for the communication interlude while we were waiting for the helicopter. He never took his hand off for the rest of the level. While I was manning the minigun, he had one...

I actually find it much more enjoyable playing alone. I played through twice as Zero, alone about 90% of the time. All of my friends were either horribly under or over leveled, so they were useless or kill-stealers. Yes, I know everyone gets the XP, but it's not very fun to sit back and do...

Mass Effect - The sense of discovery, immersion and just...amazement/wonder the first one brought out in me is indescribable. I got it for my birthday and I had a bunch of friends over for a sleepover party, we ended up just playing Mass Effect all night and into the morning, all gawking at the...

I was in a game of Project Reality a while back, before 1.0 (I think it was two versions ago, I know it was a while ago). It was a co-op game on Kashan Desert, and I was playing on my "alternate" account I use on servers I don't frequent. There was already an effective CAS (close air support)...

Right now I find myself half-dreading every time I boot up GTA V. I actually don't hate the characters (I find them entertaining and to be the perfect people to traipse around committing heinous crimes as), but it's mainly the police that ruin it for me. They "respond" to calls from non-existent...

Kremlin is fantastic, one of my favorites along with Without Remorse, Red October, Rainbow Six and Red Storm Rising. Although I will admit that Rainbow Six gets a little too liberal explaining stuff that doesn't really matter while also dropping jargon in other subjects that some readers (even...

You made it about 700 pages farther than I did. I normally love Clancy's stuff too, but 900-some-odd pages of that was asking too much. For me, I recently tried to read the first of the Halo: Forerunner trilogy (it's so unremarkable I can't even remember the name), and I just couldn't bring...

I'll probably get a PS4 in a year or two once there's some stuff to play for it and there's time to gauge its performance (and Sony's business practices), but for now I'm still trying to save for my new gaming PC build.

Oblivion with over 1000 hours, Fallout 3 and New Vegas tied for second at around 500, and Stalker COP in third at Tree-Fiddy.

Saw Russian Circles live in August, absolutely mind-blowing. Not only can they replicate their album sound almost perfectly, but they add in new twists that are just fantastic. Their openers were amazing too, especially Marriages. I closed my eyes and just stood there when RC closed their set...

Nice to see someone with some good things to say, always did like Treyarch's games better. Definitely a Christmas Lister. Good review.

Indeed, Just Cause 2 is the best we've got (not that that's a bad thing, I love JC2). Hell, I'd even settle for a reputable developer taking the first Mercs, modernizing it a bit. Not just graphics but maybe play with the mechanics a bit, like tweaking the accuracy of the non-M4 weapons...
