Somehow I'm not seeing Wasteland 2 in this article.

I'd say a true CRPG has some important things a real PnP RPG has (though limited by technology) - Character creation - Some way of making your character better (xp, levels, or whatnot) - Choices (since AI technology isn't good enough to simulate a GM) - Possibly loot Yes, that means...

I still think the best ending they could have done would be simply ending the game as Shepard sits down next to Anderson and watches the fireworks, slowly fading out and dying from exertion and blood loss. Perhaps a decent epilogue afterwards, but I'd have been happy with the above. Instead...

Nope, not everyone. The game I bought my Xbox 360 for was the original Mass Effect.

This is good news. Most games that have gone to F2P have so many pay gates at different content, be it customization, accessing your in-game cash, respeccing, basic content, or just levelling at a normal rate. Also, many F2P games basically only get new payed content. Having a subscription...

GFWL, oh the many problems I've had with it. - Installing games in obscure, hidden folders on the system drive with no option to change drive or location. - Controls freezing every three seconds because GFWL was looking to see if player 2 had put in a controller. - Not working when offline...

The only involvement EA has with this is that they currently own the rights to the original Wasteland. The game was made by Interplay and the sequel is made by inXile, the company the Brian Fargo founded after he left Interplay (which he also founded).

IMHO, he's right. Back when the XBOX came out, I couldn't imagine getting one, and the only thing it had going for it was it's controller (I have very large hands, and also the Playstation controller makes my hand hurt if I use the shoulder buttons) and I actually tried finding a converter to...

Right, so game is developed for console first (not surprising, but still not good), it's being ported to pc by the people who ported amongst other things Tomb the unplayable mess that is Raider Underworld. Well, at least I was cautiously optimistic, but after the gameplay video and this...

As long as the puzzles are closer to GK than GK III, this is almost a sure sell for me. Jane Jensens writing has always been great, and it's been ages since we've seen a proper full-sized adventure game.

From the coffee I tried when I was in the US in '09, they should rather make their coffee properly strong so you don't need to drink a bucket of it to get your morning dose.

Hoping it's a new IP. Maybe if they get a new IP that's a tactical shooter, ME3 will actually go back to being a shooter/RPG hybrid instead of just a tactical shooter. I know it's unrealistic, but a guy can hope, right?

Super Mario Land 2. A great Mario game for the original Game Boy, and the origin of Wario as well.

As funny as reusing Bioware there, I'd replace both Obsidian and Bioware with Bethesda in the Hell comic. But it'd be less fun I guess.

SW:TOR. Which isn't on the list for some odd reason.
