    Zero Punctuation: System Shock 2

    Best fucking game of all time. The Many is what would happen if The Thing could talk.

    Research that stopped you from getting a game.

    I always research DLC, and that's why I didn't get Leviathan. Not gonna pay for stuff they should have told us in the main game. And the more I looked into Blizzard's latest, Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2, the less I liked. Never going to get Diablo 3, only want Starcraft as a bundle of all three...

    Which do you feel has the bleaker game environment...

    Fallout= fantasy, Stalker= realism. Given eastern europe, the world outside Pripyat might not be any better than the Zone, just more congested. Having said that, if we look at both games as only the environments presented, Stalker hands down. Fallout is just too full of cartoony fun, although...

    Rumor: Next Xbox Will Require Constant Internet Connection

    If I really see something I have to play in the next gen, and steambox doesn't pan out, I was going to go with Playstation anyway. Fuck Microsoft's planned obsolesence.

    Poll: Masturbation and you.

    I whack the mole every day. It's a stress release valve that keeps me from staring at a woman's boobs while I'm talking to her. And while what I'm in probably wouldn't be viewed as a relationship by most people, I do get some at least once a month. I've never found an over- or underindulgence to...

    Far Cry 3 Anamolies

    By that logic you may as well not trust anything in the game. Maybe Jason peed on all those pot plants. Maybe Keith was spanked for being a naughty fellow. This veers into "it was all a dream" territory. How am I to know what role I'm playing if I can't know what's "real"? And something I...

    Poll: Is Spec Ops: the Line overrated?

    I will say this much. This game would not have existed if not for Farcry 2. They both build on Heart of Darkness, and they both make you question why you enjoy virtual murder. I was acutely aware of Spec Ops's agenda before the phosphorus scene, and Burn Ward Madonna With Child still fucked with...

    Far Cry 3 Anamolies

    I've no problem with a game being composed in no small part of hallucination, but show me at some point before the credits what was real and what wasn't. Anything else I consider the story equivalent of 'a wizard did it'.

    Far Cry 3 Anamolies

    He definitely stabs you with the chinese dagger, I've played it twice and I was keeping an eye out the second time.

    Far Cry 3 Anamolies

    I can confirm that, did a hit quest that way.

    Far Cry 3 Anamolies

    My pet theory is that you die in the cave under Dr Earnhart's. Tripping balls in a dark cavern isn't a good idea. I'm partial to the idea that, if we accept that 80% of the game is happening, the islandsthemselves are driving people mad, even without the drugs. Hence why Willis, who's...

    Far Cry 3 Anamolies

    So I just finished Far Cry 3 and...there's alot that doesn't add up. Spoilers obviously. 1. The Chinese Compass. Jason even says it's "some magical shit" to which Buck, who must also be seeing this, doesn't comment. Does Buck already know it's magic? Why shoehorn magic into a plot that up...

    Poll: Planescape Torment v. Arcanum of Steamworks

    Planescape is the best written game ever. I have reservations I'll see a better game storyline ever. The point of every other game is to survive- this game inverts that, being a very drawn-out suicide. Play it so you can experience all the sensory stones. Play it so you can talk to the Entropic...

    Fallout's faction picking...

    Nope he fell to the omnipotent Shotgun Fist too. I mean EVERYBODY dies.

    Fallout's faction picking...

    Because a group that tried and failed more than two millenia ago is certainly not part of the old world. I will cleanse the ENTIRE world and remake it in the image of a gaping crater, finishing what the bombs couldn't do.
