Well, yeah, those HD revamps are simple cash-grabs, but there's a little more to it than that. Most of them (GoW, PoP, the first three Splinter Cells, the Ico collection) are being released for the PS3. This isn't just a cash-grab; in the first-party "God of War"s case, if not any of the...

Area 51 (2005) and any James Bond game other than Goldeneye. Seems like Goldeneye gets all the love, and while on some counts it does deserve it, the other games were good too and they've all seemingly been dismissed as hopeless cash-ins. Nightfire, Everything or Nothing, and Goldeneye: Rogue...

that whole "the character goes down a tangent I don't want them to" reminds me of Mass Effect 2. Pretty much any game where you pick a vaguely-described angle and watch your guy talk about it for a little bit will have that problem where he's not saying exactly what you thought he would say...

The Hidden Blade from Assassin's Creed not effective, ass in a world of hurt

A good bit of advice to avoid these particular situations: never call anything "original" or "unique" or "groundbreaking" unless you've seen every movie, played every video game, read every book, and seen every episode of every TV show that has ever existed. Someone can and will call you out on...

Hard to tell; I'd say that they're equally good in different ways. The first game was like the middle part of "2001: A Space Odyssey" with you playing Dave and GlaDOS playing HAL. I was only marginally funny, but it was gut-wrenchingly intense especially at the finale and stood up on its own...

Plenty has already been said about the US, so I'll narrow it down to my home state: OREGON!!! The filler state in between Washington and California, the place where most of our country's wood comes from, and the state with the most mispronounced name of them all (It's not Ore-GONE, people...

Ah, Sony: you just can't seem to get anything right nowadays. They were asking for the whole hacking mess they've been in ever since they made the design mistake of letting people install a secondary OS on their PS3s yes, I said design MISTAKE Sure, it's a nice feature, but it's...

It's for this reason that I'm glad I stick to prepaid cards for PSN

Exploration Give me something to explore in a game, and I will do it: See pretty much any open world non-linear game

"look at you, sailing through the air majestically, like an eagle ... piloting a blimp"

Well, I guess there's no point to this now, since if razelas is right, it's already happening. I just know that they cannot do another one with Chell as the main character. Unless they retcon it and change the ending cinematic (again), her adventures in the Enrichment Center are over...

To sum up the main points so far: Those opposing Valve: "If they released sales charts, then developers would be able to do much better in the Steam market and there would be tons of new upstarts/competition" Those supporting Valve: "Yeah, but then everyone would be copying the most...

For me, I'd have to say Portal 2, but this is from my own experience and yours is 100% likely to be different. But in case you're not here for a recommendation and instead are investigating reasons why people like one game over another, here's the rundown. I don't like fighting games: it...

Hmmmm, Limbo. Considering that I grew up in a small industrial town in the middle of nowhere, this won't be that much of a change. The Dante's Inferno Test has sent you to the First Level of Hell - Limbo!Here is how you matched up against all the levels:Dante's Inferno Hell Test...
