    XCOM: Enemy Within Standalone Expansion Changes and Additions

    Well, given that the announcement trailer had this [https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1237275_660151117342389_1118804672_o.jpg] symbol briefly flash on screen and the Council Representative mentions "another force at work against us", I'd say the odds are good.

    Movie Trailers: Birdemic 2: The Resurrection - Theatrical Trailer

    Look at those special effects. Listen to that naturally flowing dialogue. Observe the masterful camerawork and beyond perfect cinematography. Clearly James Nyuyen is the Stephen Speilberg of this generation.

    Zero Punctuation: SimCity

    Sim City 4 is on Steam, you say? More features and far less cheaper, you say? I can name my city "F*ck Mountain" and no one will get all pissy about it, you say? Sold.

    Let's Remake Star Wars

    Brilliant. We can do a gritty reboot of the entire series. Hell, we can even cast Katee Sackoff as Han Solo. ... I'm not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not...

    So I'm about to start Mass Effect 3...

    It's not necessary, but if you've got ten bucks to spare download From Ashes. Javik (the Prothean) has some very interesting insights, and you just have to bring him with you to Thessia. Don't ask why. It'll all make sense later.

    ESRB ratings when you were a kid.

    One of the first games I ever played was Wolfenstein 3D on MCDOS. When I was three. ... I'm no expert, but I think that might be a "no".

    Facebook: Your Cat Is a Public Figure, Not a Person

    In a similar vein, I know several cosplayers that have had their cosplay profiles on Facebook wiped out as part of the "unclassified" purge. It's not just fake profiles for pets.

    The "R" Word

    Oh! Sorry for causing any undue alarm.

    The "R" Word

    As the saying goes, "this is why we can't have nice things". "A word that is not in our vocabulary". Oh, shut up you spineless little nothing. Look, I realize that we live in interesting times. People get easily offended to an almost pathetic extent these days, the world is trying to be more...

    Adam Sessler Leaves G4

    Wow. I never thought I would see the day... I think it can be argued that, along with Morgan Webb and X-Play in general, Sessler was single-handedly keeping G4 relevant to it's original purpose (much like TRL on MTV). Now with Sessler gone I don't see how X-Play will be the same, and with...

    Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion Beta

    As someone who plays Advent and gears his fleets to rely heavily on "fighter superiority" I love the corvettes. They're dirt cheap and cost half the supply that the standard Disciple frigate does, meaning that I can jump into a gravity well and immediately have a swarm of fighters and corvettes...

    Poll: Okay, Angry Birds has become WAY too popular

    At this point I kind of see Angry Birds as being the iOS equivalent of Furby, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sure, I don't "get" why some people I've seen wear bright green shirts with the green bird's face on it, but to each their own. If they're enjoying themselves, good on them...

    EA steals from Games Workshop

    I hate to be the guy to point out the blatantly obvious, but Electronic Arts hasn't stolen anything here. Tibrium Alliances' developer, Phenomic, is the one "borrowing" designs. Whether or not the vehicles are inspired by 40k or are even direct rips is irrelevant. EA is as responsible for an...

    Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut is not victory.

    Is it a "victory"? Well, I guess that varies from person to person. My only issues with the ending was a lack of closure that, according to the press release, is being fixed. Then again, that's just me. Here's something I can say that I know isn't subjective. Whether you think it's a "win" or...

    FemShep's Voice Actress Talks Mass Effect 3 Ending

    .. of there's a tinfoil hat-less Scenario 4; Jennifer Hale is telling the truth and both her and Mark Meer haven't been invited back to record new dialogue because Bioware either isn't at the stage where they're needed yet or they simply aren't needed at all. After all, they do use the term...
