    Best Weapons in Videogames

    The Gunblade makes the cut? Really? The weapon seemingly deliberately designed to make it useless as both a gun and an sword. Its been done long before Final Fantasy ever existed and much more effectively to boot - its called a bayonet. Now the bayonets in Red Orchestra: Ostfront, they were...

    Zeno Clash II Shows Off Some Moves

    I very much doubt it will, ACE team is still the bunch whimsical lunatics that made the first one (at least if Rock of Ages is anything to go by...) Looking forward to this, I enjoyed the visceral, meaty melee combat of the first game as well the unusual aesthetics and odd characters (I hope...

    Rethinking Dinosaurs

    Yeah, dinosaurs treated exclusively as monsters and not portrayed as animals. Guess y'all didn't have Walking with Dinosaurs [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking_with_Dinosaurs] over in the colonies. Though that didn't have feathery raptors, admittedly. Also, that potentially revolutionary...

    No Right Answer: Best Bond Movie Ever

    I always have difficulty with this question as Goldeneye is without doubt my favorite bond film, if its the best per se I'm not so sure but I'd probably say so. For me it has always been and always will be the definitive bond film, I'm simply of that age. It also clearly has the hottest bond...

    Syrian Rebels Build Tank With Gamepad Controller

    While it may "stop" a 23mm round, that is to say prevent it from penetrating, if it doesn't have effective spall liners everyone inside is still going to get very dead very quickly when it comes under fire. But if it is proof against small arms, good for them.

    Take Our "Identify This Mech" Quiz!

    No, it isn't Mad Cat is the IS reporting name for the Timber Wolf, like how the Su-27 is called "Flanker" by NATO IRL. But yeah, its a Timber Wolf. Damn freebirths running the show around here.

    ME3 Multiplayer: I finally had to rage at someone

    Eh, the idiots I can deal with. Being unable to see ping or location? Now thats a problem. For all I know I'm investing my consumables in a match where the host is based in Pasadina or Vladivostok and the lag will make it utterly unplayable for me so I'll have to leave. And lose my stuff. And...

    Child's Play Halts Retake Mass Effect Donation Drive

    Sad to see there are so many mongs about. I mean, I know this is the internet and all, but still. Child's Play have certainly made the right call here - while it was lovely that people donated to charity, no matter what the reason, to have that charity become percived as something it is not...

    Nordic Revives SpellForce 2 Expansion

    Hurrah! SpellForce returns! Been waiting for Faith In Destiny for so long, I do hope it measures up. I also hope that the english voice acting will be better, but I know thats not going to happen. As for the cover art, well, its a SpellForce tradition. Every game/expanison in the series...

    LoadingReadyRun: Formal Complaint

    Two guns, bizzarely. Or at least a holster going unused and a gun tucked into the belt (which is still somewhat bizzare).

    7554: Vietnam's Call of Duty Coming Next Year

    The Viet Minh (and to some extent the French) used a hodge-podge of weapons during the First Indochina War. They were armed with weapons captured from the Japanese during WWII (hense the Nambu pistol and Arisaka rifle), weapons sent as aid by the US during WWII (Garand, Thompson), weapons...
