    Sword Fighting in Games Is Dull

    "Sword Fighting in Games Is Dull" How appropriate. You fight like a cow. Really though, the OP does have a point. Most games simply don't handle melee weaponry or fighting methods with any of the actual feel, style or reward. Even Soul Calibur, which is pretty much centred around sword...

    Did Modern Warfare 2 end with a Cliffhanger?

    How I predict Modern Warfare 3 will end: Pursuing The Burger King on foot through the streets of now half-destroyed NYC or DC, you corner him and manage to unmask him. It was Ronald Mc effing Donald all along. The whole Russian incident, the weapon smuggle, it was all for the power of...

    Zero Punctuation: Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    I've got to say, that Yahtzee did sum up the bad/weak parts of the game pretty well. But a lot of people saying 'well I'll probably skip it' based on this are missing the point: He says it's good, but it's not original Deus Ex good. That's a pretty goddamn lofty comparison to make, given the...

    Poll: Sonic the Hedgehog Characters (And Games Discussion)

    I didn't see Dr Robotnik on the list, so I didn't vote for anyone. (Screw Eggman)

    No "Meaningless Stat Games" in Mass Effect 3

    Sigh... When did Bioware give up on being excellent RPG designers and just start jamming their stories into action games? Edit: Also in Mass Effect 3! Bioware has decided to do away with conversation choices, character interaction and any kind of choices/options you may have had previously...

    Zero Punctuation: Portal 2

    Is Portal 2 excellent? Yes. Could it do with about 50% more hard puzzles? Yes. Does it feel like Valve didn't think people wanted MORE puzzles? Yes. Does it feel like Valve thought we'd value a longer story and less puzzles? Yes. Does this make Portal 2 bad? No. Would I like to see someone...

    Chell in Episode 3...how the hell would that work?

    Half Life 2 is set in 2020, the 7 hour war occurring in 2010 and Half Life 1 happening in 2000. Portal 1 occurs some time between 1998~2020 (Glados mentions that the world has already ended as we know it) . Portal 2 (after the long sleep) is estimated to be around 2200~2300+ (depends on how many...

    Poll: Do you use hair gel? WHY?!

    For this particular kind of style, I'd recommend a fibre-gum based product. There's a lot of them around, but they are extremely flexible to style your hair and the better ones (VO5's Extreme Rework Fibre Putty for example) are very effective and quite cheap. The idea behind a 'fibre' based...

    Poll: Do you use hair gel? WHY?!

    David Elsewhere did the dancing, with a green-screen style mask, then they glued Takuya's head on it. he probably does the very last move himself though.

    Poll: Do you use hair gel? WHY?!

    Quoted for truth. Wax and fibre gum/putty gives you a dry-look hair style, which allows you to mould/spike/whatever your hair and leave it looking natural, rather than slick/wet. With most good waxes/gums, you can re-mould your hair style/shape as you please too, so even if you don't get it...

    So I Did A Little Research On Black Ops...

    Edited for wall of text removal. All posts like this and the others above are nonsensical and whimsical at best, as to what they expect a post Modern Warfare CoD game to include. Why people question the guns and focus on that is beyond me. Most of the plot is made up and based around...

    Second Silent Hill Movie Finds a Director in the Fog

    This... is going to be... well, terrible is an understatement. The director has made 4 bad films and a very sub-par, sludge-like grey TV series, that no one watched. Let me sum up his latest effort; Solomon Kane, for the unaware: Utter trash. With special effects from the 90's era of...

    Escape to the Movies: District 9

    SonicKoala: Let me just end a huge part of your problem with this film in one fell swoop; the key and most basic parts of District 9's story is this: The alien's leader/queen/whatever is dead. The aliens in the slums are basically the equivalent of worker drones. Like ants. Without someone/thing...
