I know that feeling from the other side Bob. Worked at a theater for three years that used to put on critic screenings and it was pretty much a mess every time. Mostly exacerbated by the fact that we didn't have a projectionist. The company had replaced all the film cameras with digital...

Grinding can be ok. As you said, Elder Scrolls essentially allows you to grind up skill to get better (though I would argue that only applies to certain skills like smithing. Leveling your One-Handed by killing dudes is just playing the game). But that's the thing. I'm allowed to do it. It is a...

Yeah, its doesn't put any emphasis on terrain tho. So it's simpler in some ways but the skill system is really addicting and quite rewarding. So it might not entirely scratch that SRPG itch, but if you have ever wondered what a fusion of traditional jRPG and sRPG would look like...well here you...

More FFT than X-COM. You travel the overworld in a pretty standard jRPG way, but when you touch enemies (they are not random) you basically go into an Final Fantasy Tactics sort of combat system. It's actually a lot of fun, and is one of my favorite psp games. Also the sequel (Second...

Well shit. Wait, Child of Light had a female main! Beyond Good & Evil 2 as 2D UbiArt game confirmed!

It's weird. Every modern 3D Ubisoft game runs like a pile of ass on my pc, but the 2D UbiArt engine is so smooth. At least they can't take the newer 2D Raymans away from me...right? D: Also, I'm still waiting for Beyond Good & Evil 2 Ubisoft. Make it so it can be the last non-UbiArt game of...

God I hope they go with the source material, cause while it's not necessarily well written, the lore is interesting. I'm pulling for a Ravnica movie. Would want Brother's War, but that's kind of done away with in modern MtG lore.

Was waiting for about 5 games to be released I strongly wanted. Obviously the ones announced today are not out yet, but I have strong bias towards Bayonetta and Kirby. So this will be the first "next-gen" system that I get. And honestly, it may be the only one I get, now that I've upgraded...

Vanquish. I get the feeling a lot of people have heard of Vanquish, but judging by sales, not many played it (the curse of Clover seems to have followed over to Platinum). Its a shame because its a fun,fast paced game, and the closest a game has gotten to being both a spectacle fighter and TPS...

Haven't played DS2 yet (friday is so close...) but I didn't use the pvp in DS1 really. The couple of times i did try it was just a massive lag fest (also pc version btw, i assume the online for DS1 on consoles was better). I would love a no pvp version. At the very least a options menu...

The World's End. The themes of alcoholism, addiction, and learning to overcome your personal problems (Represented for the characters by the Blanks, each one represented one of the main characters vices) really resonated with me. I've had family and friends with these issues and so it just...

Honestly, while I've seen all the aliens films, i was never a huge fan of the franchise so I didn't follow Prometheus at all. So when I saw it in theaters I was taken aback at all the aliens references, then the ending with the progenitor alien happened. I didn't hate Prometheus, hell I still...

I'm less offended by the heels themselves, than their design and color. Just... bleghhhh...absolutely terrible looking!

I've been through the gamut of different game systems, and I'm also gonna throw in for WoD. It's a pretty simple system, with a fairly simple to understand world (well, some would argue with me on that, but I find most groups don't go super deep down on the pre-set lore path, WoD has a lot of...

Saw it in theaters last night and I just really didn't like it. Eva Green carries this movie so hard that the other performances just pale in comparison. And where you found Sullivan Stapleton's performance understated, I found it just boring. The action also feels like its aping 300's...
