    Poll: Online Co-op Console Games - Your favourites?

    Hello, I'm looking for games in XBLA or PSN co-op to play with one or two friends. We can't play IRL together because we live too far apart. We all have very varied tastes when it comes to gameplay genre, but we all play pretty much everything between Bejeweled to Fallout to Alien Swarm. I'm...

    Question of the Day, October 17, 2010

    Silmarillion would work very well as a TV miniseries. I've hoped to see with the production values of LOTR since the Fellowship premiere night, since the book is in some ways superior to LOTR (characters, for example.)

    Take this Quiz to Discover What Kind of Gamer You Are!

    I was just bothered because I also wanted light-hearted and fun result what every other result seemed to be, that's all. I wanted ponies, not a big snide image with a big snide flavour text and a big snide badge on my Escapist profile saying I'm Pretentious :(

    Behold the Final Fall of Warcraft's Lich King

    Elric of Melnibone? Who is a brooding albino prince wielding a soul-stealing sword called the Stormbringer. I don't know, could be totally coincidental similarities! :D

    Games and Movies, Apples and Pears

    Whatever the "truth" about storytelling, games and film is, the earliest films were not immediately giving audience stories: The first moving pictures were short and amusing visuals designed to delight (say, like a round of Pong), or shock its audience. L'Arrivee d'un train a La Ciotat (1895)...

    What Do You Want to Read in The Escapist?

    The Escapist is my favourite and only game journalism I read (paper and electronic) since so far I've felt the articles address me. My local paper game journalism is riddled with game reviews bordering on rabid frothing fanboy addressing his guild IRC channel. The magazine's in-house WoW column...
