Some mention should go to the Ticonderoga-class Aegis Cruisers. The last 22 hulls with 128 Mk.41 VLS cells boast more firepower per tonne than any other surface combatant in the world, and they'll be kept up to date with exciting new tech like the RIM-174 Standard Missile 6, Raytheon's Air and...

I'm not banking on it going free to play as soon as you guys think. Rift came out two years ago and that's still a pay to play game. Even more server mergers and pay-to-win stores on top of the monthly fee sure for SWTOR sure, but don't hold your breath for f2p any time soon.

Errr... Marathon *was* an FPS. Though I definitely see your point about Myth with someone asking Bungie to remake it as an Elder Scrolls clone.

The whole developer-sanctioned RMT deal itself still sounds like grounds for the SEC to raid Blizzard's American holdings to me.

"Parents may have been able to avoid a new character since it would not be one many children have grown to admire," the group wrote on its website. But now, a superhero that kids have grown up with will suddenly have the gay. "Who will they choose; Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Plastic...

Perhaps it speaks to how prudish the gaming community is when it comes to matters of sexuality that a fantasy game that happens to have skimpy outfits is somehow more objectionable than games like GTA or Serious Sam that encourage mass genocide in the game world. I'd be the last person to...

Referring to their own country as "the empire" doesn't exactly put its supposed values on a higher moral ground.

Absolutely nailed it on the head for the conversation wheel and accidental selecting dialogue when skipping. I think the one game that got the conversation wheel right was DX: HR. Sure you got a single word summary, but it was also supplemented by a longer summary that was more or less in...

"That the trailer evokes a strong Myst aesthetic" Oh god, please don't turn this (extraordinarily beautiful) game into an adventure game with moon logic puzzles. Point and click adventure games need to die a horrible death in a fire for subjecting us to those puzzles with solutions that fly...

Pretty much how I feel, dude. At least Relic has the decency to tell us that they haven't gotten around to Homeworld 3 just yet, what with them being busy making 40K games (which mind you, are games I dig). And God knows Homeworld is the one series I care even more about than Half-Life...

Whatever the planet scanning in Mass Effect 2 falls under. Seriously, I cannot fathom how some playtesters at Bioware thought that mini-game was okay. Sure the Mako was wonky, but Bioware could have improved that mechanic rather than take it out altogether.

We haven't quite gotten to that point where internet connections both on the ISP and the owner's router side are as reliable as cable TV and hardline phones are now. Don't believe me? Try living in the San Raf dorm at UCSB where your connection is at the mercy of your fellow dorm-mates and...

Wasn't really aware it was that much of an issue beyond good-natured humour (so there might have been some borderline-sexist comments and rule 34 images, but the latter there is virtually nothing anyone can do about). But hey, Ken Levine, you reap what you sow.

Even as a PC gamer to the bone, I really don't get the argument of "a pirated game isn't a lost sale." It's someone who *could* have bought the game and given the developer and publisher some well deserved money and it's someone who is *consuming* the product the publishers are selling. I...

With all the fan stuff coming out relating to HL3 lately, you would think Valve would get the hint to drop everything they're doing, DotA 2, Left 4 Dead 3 (which is coming), Portal 2 DLC, Christ, even CS:GO, to get to work on Half-Life-fucking-3.
