    10 Classic Games That Need Star Wars Remakes

    That suggestion to do an Star Wars version of Ultima Underworld reminds me of the Sith Temple levels from Mysteries of the Sith. If someone could do a game which combined the best parts of MotS's Sith levels and Ultima Underworld, that would be an interesting experience. It would be rather...

    Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II - Flawed Force Fun

    Jedi Knight only takes three short levels before you get the lightsaber. By contrast, its sequel, Jedi Outcast, had you wait six levels before you get your lightsaber and Force Powers. And the first person shooting elements in Outcast were far more flawed. The arsenal in Jedi Knight works to its...

    The Big Picture: American Sniper Sucks (And It's Okay To Admit That)

    There a few users here and there who complain about leftist-propaganda, but what difference does Bob's views make? Don't some of you dislike it when shows or movies you like are accused of being rightist-propaganda? This video barely even constitutes as propaganda: propaganda usually doesn't...

    Escape to the Movies: Leprechaun: Origins - Fool's Gold

    The Big Picture: Dumbsday, Part 1 - The Death of Superman

    I'm glad that Bob did this video, but I would've liked him to give more explanation as to why Doomsday is dull. I personally find the whole crazy plotline to be inspired, from Superman's sudden death, to four different Supermen taking his place. It's kind of like a crazy DC spin on the Messiah...

    Zero Punctuation: EarthBound - Not Your Typical JRPG

    This is an awesome review. I think he describes the game very well, and I liked how he is drawn to the kids playing heroes meets cosmic horror aspect to it. I found it interesting that he described the plot as school children fighting God, because he borrows a bit of that archetype for his...

    Postal 2 - Ambitious Garbage

    The one part I agree with him is that the game at times does force you into a fight, whether you want it or not. Otherwise, the game does a good job in having it so that the player can choose to live life (mostly) normally, or become Death the Destroyer of Worlds. Although the game is full of...

    Escape to the Movies: The Purge: Anarchy - Original Idea Done Better

    The Purge seems to be a simplified variation of A Clockwork Orange. The similarities are there: a dystopia where gangs with unique costumes/masks being free to roam free and cause chaos by night. A Clockwork Orange (both the book and the film)is a much better satire than The Purge. I'm surprised...

    The Big Picture: Destined for Disappointment, Part 1

    MovieBob actually interacts on this forum?! I am astounded! When will he come again? Back on topic, the reverse-discrimination arguments are getting pretty convoluted. I much prefer Shredder to be played by a ripped, intense Japanese actor who knows how to play the villain as a ruthless...

    The Big Picture: Destined for Disappointment, Part 1

    @Britishfan "Anyone else bored of hearing MovieBob bash the Amazing Spiderman? I understand that there is no reason for it to exist, but personally I found to be a better film and far more enjoyable than the trilogy that came before it." I thought fans were more bored with MovieBob trashing...

    8 Videogame Anti-Heroes You Can't Help But Love

    There are a handful of anti-heroes who I definitely think are worthier to list. 1. Caleb from Monolith Productions' Blood He's amoral, power hungry, delights in killing his enemies in a variety of ways, cares only for vengeance, and he has a tendency to quote pop culture like Duke Nukem...

    The Colbert Retort

    I do find it surprising that only this one statement is singled out of many satirical statements Colbert and his writers made to reflect many of the brain dead statements said by many a right-wing television commentator. It sucks when the underdog mistakes a satirical comment that's supposed to...

    The Big Picture: Scarlet Unity - What Assassin's Creed and Batman Have in Common

    My introduction to The Scarlet Pimpernel was through the 1997 Broadway musical, and it was actually a well done musical though I bet it's probably mostly forgotten. I liked that Percy was adept as using disguises and pranks to befuddle and outwit the French Revolutionaries. In the musical, Percy...

    Any Functioning Fan Forums Dedicated to Yahtzee?

    Because I am a fan of Yahtzee's games (especial Poacher) and his other stuff, I've wanted to join the forum on his Fully Ramblomatic site. It doesn't permit registration anymore, sadly. I'd like to discuss him here, but hardly anyone wants to discuss his new and old games on The Escapist forums...

    Zero Punctuation: Dishonored

    Don?t forget that Yahtzee has a bit of morality system in POACHER too, if you want to get the most fulfilling and satisfying endings. For example, in order to get the secret ending, you have to avoid killing zombified Blemings, white rabbits, as well as not shooting the gamekeeper. You also get...
