    A petition to get the Street Legal Racing Redline source code released. For you racers out there.

    There's an old racing game out there called Street Legal Racing: Redline. It's a game that was heavily underrated at release, but which now has dozens of active modding communities for it that span the globe. One of these communities, GOM-TEAM, is trying to get the source code released to them...

    Zero Punctuation: Battlefield 3

    Eh, got the game and I have to say the following: Singleplayer = crap. The Multiplayer has way too many glitches still present and the game feels like a beta. Heck, one of my mates has a tank cannon attachment that, as of about a few days ago, does not fire a bloody round. You get the recoil...

    Zero Punctuation: Bastion and From Dust

    Well, wish no more. The Bastion is coming out on Steam, so you have that to look forward to at least. Scarily though, Yahtzee giving praise for two games in one review...? Okay, maybe not high praise, but still, if universal balance must be maintained then the next game he reviews may have to...

    DICE Details Console Compromises in Battlefield 3

    After a long BFBC2 session mate, I can kind of see where you're coming from. There really aren't a whole lot of ways to rush some of these maps, which seems to become more apparent when you're on a low-populated server or a high-ticket server (not sure if it was legal, but I once played on a 250...

    DICE Details Console Compromises in Battlefield 3

    I am going to be honest here, some of the most fun I've had has been on the lower-populated servers. The issue the devs have to deal with is making a map that is suited to the number of people playing it - just like 24 on a map for 64 would feel exceedinly empty, 64 on a map made for 24 would...

    Sony, Pre-owned games and DRM

    While I may not have read all of the replies, I think I can speak for most gamers when I say, used games wouldn't be such a problem if the games had, what was that term now... Ah, yes! Lasting Appeal. For example; Lost Planet 2. Bought new, got bored, traded in and got a copy of San Andreas...

    Outland Review

    So, so, SO many of Sierra's early games. Look on TV Tropes for "Have a Nice Death", the two page quotes at the time of writing are both games from Sierra. Heck, same site, only search "Unwinnable by Design". Sierra has their own section... **EDIT** Add me to the list of folks who would...

    305: What They Say

    You know what I want to see more of? Local split-screen. From what I can see, the number of local mulitplayer games is on the down... Yeah, online gaming is fun 10 vs 10 on some server, but I doubt there will ever be anything, gaming wise, like sitting down with some mates, with a couple of...

    Poll: Do you buy manga or read it online?

    where I live, paper manga is bloody hard to find. My options are as follows: 1) Read online 2) Don't read it at all. Sadly, it's the same for anime; it's not exactly big here in the UK. The little that is licensed is usually licensed by a now-defunct company, the little that is available is...

    More Death Please?

    The Chinese found the solution illegal immigration a few thousand years ago. You can see the bugger from space. Off topic, I know. Buy hey, c'est la vie.

    Biggest annoyance in a game

    Personally it's when you spend two or three hours trying to pass a mission/sub-mission only to unlock something that would let you ace it in a few seconds in the next mission you do. Moot point: Assassin's Creed 2, where a side-mission has you take out ten heavies in a minute. I spent the better...

    Zero Punctuation: Just Cause 2

    Okay, Yahtzee MUST have gotten himself a cat, or the publisher's club decided to pull some kind of late april fools... Anyways, here's a little bit of fun for the next time a new ZP comes out: Make sure you can't hear it and see if you can guess what he's saying. Makes for a good way to kill...

    Boy Sees Boobs in Comic, Tells Mom, Mom Tells News

    yeah, now I think this could have been avoided. Any sane comic store owner would read the comics beforehand to determine its rating, thereby giving them an excuse to open one of every comic in the shop and keep it for... Archival purposes. 'Course, I'm a rather jaded individual, so I'd just put...

    Zero Punctuation: Dark Void

    Hmm... Seems interesting. Might rent it eventually. And Yahtzee, was that the bacon flow chart you used there?
