I loved both, but Majoras Mask was easily my favourite. Time being an integral part of gameplay was awesome as were the various effect masks. Besides which, events occuring only during certain times made the whole thing feel more integrated and the npcs were more lively. When you watch the...

Melodic death, hands down.

On the contrary, I hate it because it's NOT the same experience all over again. MW was a brilliant game I throughly enjoyed and played into the floor. Then with MW2 they removed a lot of things that made the first great, while also adding new features that made the game worse. Also on a...

Love is an abstraction. Good luck finding one of those! Next time you feel inclined to say, "Is this love?" Give yourself a good slap instead and remember that words are not feelings :P Why do you think there's no such thing as a definitive answer to what love 'is'? As for why people...

I make it comical.

I truly wish the Western, mainly English, martial arts hadn't died out in the presense of guns. In my opinion, most people are likly to find that the martial arts their countrymen and ancestors, who are presumably most like them due to a similar cultural and social setting, are better for them...

Forgive the self quote, but i did actually make that point, although you could hardly be blamed for missing it, There's a big problem with this, which is that developers under the wing of a major publisher, as most are, are on fixed rate wages. The best they can hope for in terms of real...

I agree with this as a good soloution to gain more sales that become profit for the publisher, but I can see why publishers don't, or think it isn't. World of Goo was hit with a 90% piracy rate and it only cost £10. I don't know. When it comes to actual soloutions to these problems, the whole...

Walls of text are inevitable i'm afraid. Though this time you can skip to the bottom for a conclusion of sorts relevant only to the orginal question, devoid of piracy issues and digression. You're falling into the hypothetical money trap there Root. 90% of it is only in theory 'gone'...

Like the previous poster stated, lots of sources have been cited as various industry killers but they survived. However, this implies a reason much closer to home when it comes to the recent supposed death of the gaming industry. The majority of publishers are producing crap. Crap with a £40...

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Here's a video of single player combat with a sword. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWKRkhpFqhE

Hence why i used the word 'unskilled'. In a modern gunfight, i'd personally bet on the person that'd had training in how to handle the gun, how to aim, how to draw, how to duck, weave, take cover and so on. Yes, a complete novice could, by luck or natural talent, kill that trained gunmen...

Watch out for 'The Crossing' being developed by Arkane studios, the people responsible for Dark Messiah of Might and Magic single player (which was excellent, compared to utterly terrible by comparison multiplayer, made by Kuju.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crossing_(video_game) The...

No. Not least of all because Flemming commissioned an image of Bond as he imagined him, in which he is clearly white. Bond is what he is, and there's no significant or meaningful reason to change that.

This could be just the thing to recharge the western mech scene, video games and all. On the other hand, it could bury it forever. I feel like someone's whispered in one ear "You've won the lottery", then in my other ear "But you only have 4 minutes left to live."
