    X-Men: First Class Wows With Surprisingly Tense Trailer

    THAT, is because of our good friends, Orange and Teal.

    Poll: Will you work for Sith or Jedi?

    You know what? SCREW JEDI AND THE SITH. I'm working for the Republic. Gods, I hope this game doesn't devolve into a lightsaber fest.

    The Best Video Game Trailers Of All Time?

    Despite the fact it wasn't a very good game, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos had perhaps one of the best introductions I've seen.

    Space Marines: They're becoming wimpier with each generation (Now with added ORK!)

    As much as I love warhammer 40k Adeptus Astartes (aka, Space Marines.) you really can't deny the fact that they aren't people. They're indoctrinated genetically altered weapons. Their whole purpose is to kill everything that is a threat to the Imperium, and they don't care (well, most of them.)...

    Astronomy in games: does a realistic sky make a difference?

    Funny enough. I remember plenty of times in Fallout 3, where I was running around at night, and just stopping to look up at the sky. I found it fascinating, actually.

    What is that character/place/monster doing there?

    Weeell, Centaurs are the byproduct of throwing humans and other animals into vats of FEV. They're leftovers, really. They're loyal to their Super Mutant masters, and one would suppose, much easier to deal with and control, not to mention the suckers are immune to radiation.

    What is that character/place/monster doing there?

    Well, just like the previous FO games, Fallout 3 is following the same lines of 1950's reasoning when it came to Science Fiction. For example, if you expose certain creatures to radiation, they'll get bigger (Why you see giant bugs in FO to begin with.) though the Radscorpions we see in DC are...

    To everyone who's played Fallout 3...

    I'm about 12 or so hours into the game, I've completed a ton of the side missions and half-way through the main quest line. My opinion? I love it. I've always been a fan of the Elder Scrolls games (Morrowind being my favorite.) so I wasn't particularly bothered when I heard Bethesda was using...

    Girl Gamer's Opinion

    My problem with female characters in games (and media) isn't their sexuality, or being portrayed as sexy (Hey, I'm male, I admit I like big boobs and a nice butt.) as long as they don't beat my head over with it (Functional clothing, is all I ask for...armor that actually covers their body for...

    Zero Punctuation: Spore

    I see wank...lots of it, heading towards this thread like a runaway bus... Other than that, I really enjoyed the review.

    Pc Gaming Dying????

    I dunno, I play MMOs, and I enjoy them immensely. I've always been a RPG nut and playing MMOs seemed like a natural extension of that, not to mention the social interaction (Yeah, there are a lot of morons in the MMO community, but all game communities are like that.) As for the Wii? I'm...

    Pc Gaming Dying????

    Whats funny is that just recently, some folks are saying just the opposite, that consoles could be on the verge of extinction. The latest generation of the consoles has been, on a whole a financial disaster, both Microsoft and Sony have been hemorrhaging enormous amounts of money, trying to...

    Desensitised

    The thing is, that all violence isn't the same. If you know the violence you see ISN'T real, then the graphic nature of said act, won't really affect you, because nobody is actually getting hurt. However, if you see something where a person is ACTUALLY being maimed/injured in some form or...

    145: It's A Yaoi Thing

    Yeah, my mother is the same way. While she's primarily a romance writer that does heterosexual pairings, she's written several stories of gay-men.

    145: It's A Yaoi Thing

    Rather fascinating article. I approve! Its weird how in our society, its perfectly normal for guys to oggle images of women having sex (though we're not all that interested in the relationship aspect.), but its utterly alien for women to enjoy male homosexual pairings...and even looked down...
