    When can a trailer be considered "too" dark?

    For those of you who have seen the rather amazing new trailer for Dead Island (http://uk.ign.com/videos/2011/02/16/dead-island-announcement-trailer) I ask you. As much as I love the idea of a game that really brings the horrific nature of a zombie apocalypse into a realistic light are some...

    Dead Space 2 trailer

    From what I heard from the trailer here's a transcript: Doctor?: Is he alive? Doctor?: Isaac Clark, I'm going to show you some images and I want you to tell me about them Isaac: Get it away!, Get it away! Isaac: It was just a short "burst/loop?" but it put things in my head, there's so...

    Mass Effect 2 Plot Holes (Spoilers)

    If you own the collectors edition of mass effect 2 (and thus the artbook) you can actually see what the finished human reaper would look like. It looked like a modified version of sovereign so no the stupid looking reaper larva wasn't going to become a giant terminator (thank god)

    games you can recall in a second that fully satisfied you start to finish

    I'd have to say: Mass Effect Bioshock Portal Assassins Creed (PC version so it had the extra side quest variety) Plants vs Zombies Batman: Arkham Asylum Team Fortress 2 (Yes I know it doesn't end)

    Mass Effect 2 Cast

    Looking at that list I have decided that Bioware have the single greatest voice actor casting director in the history of time (and he has one hell of a budget to boot).

    Dead Space 2 Teased With Ink Blots

    I've just remembered something I heard a few days ago. Spike TV's VGA's are supposed to have 10 new game debut trailers and they are in a few weeks. Maybe one of those trailers is the new Dead Space 2 teaser?

    Dead Space 2 Teased With Ink Blots

    The bottom creates are leapers (or at least look like them). I think those little blobs that are "bursting" out are those annoying little scuttling skin things that leap on you and eat you in the game.

    EA Cancels "Over a Dozen" Unannounced Projects

    Sigh that comic pretty much sums up my feelings. People need to learn to stop complaining about EA making repetitive games and then not buying the genuinely innovative games they do make (like dead space, mirrors edge, etc). Also if one of those axed titles was Dungeon Keeper 3 then there...

    Games no one remembers but you

    Freelancer for the PC. I loved that game and was so disappointed Microsoft canceled the sequel.

    Greatest Non-Final Boss in Gaming

    I found that it did tend to get a bit tedious towards the end of the fight but the atmosphere was fantastic. Overall I thought it was a very well put together fight given that you could never actually engage him directly (without getting eaten). Mind you I don't think I can actually name a bad...

    Poll: The shaving myth

    Again that's a really simplified version of how it works but yeah that's the basics (although it won't cure baldness as the roots are usually dead when you go bald so they can't grow new hair follicles).

    Poll: The shaving myth

    The body itself is not directly aware of the length of the hair (I explained it a bit poorly). Basically the root hair cell itself is aware that it has been damaged and this causes it to adapt and grow back more rapidly and with more "ferocity" (read the hair is thicker).

    Poll: The shaving myth

    Yes it does, this is because after the removal of hair the body increases the rate at which the hair will regrow (and its thickness) in order to prevent the hair from being removed a second time. Its an old bit of genetic programming back from when the humans still used the human body as a...

    God of War III Demo Bundled With District 9 Blu-Ray

    Believe me, District 9 is anything but a shit movie. Sure it has been a bit over-hyped but by god it is one hell of a great film. If I was at all interested in buying a PS3 then this bundle would certainly be enticing for me.
