    The most petty of criticisms

    I know it's essentially commonplace with every game in the genre, but it really annoys me in FPS games when I can't see my legs. The whole point of most FPS games is to immerse you into the game and place you into the shoes of this character. So when I can't even see the shoes you're being put...

    Spike TV Video Game Awards Renamed "VGX," Airs December 7

    I have a really bad feeling that all the "expanded digital footprint" statement means is that there's gonna be obstructive, annoying hashtags flashing up on screen. That seems to be a really unfortunate trend with all awards shows nowadays

    Lyrics or quotes that make you cringe.

    Boy, just listing their choruses is giving that musical hell spawn waaaaaaaay too much credit. Mentioning the choruses alone leaves out such gems as: "Imma be a brother but my name ain't Lehman Imma be a bank, I be loaning out semen" "All these girls they like my swagger, they calling me...

    Reviewing games as food.

    System Shock 2 and Deus Ex are like an aged wine. Sure, it's labeling may be pretty faded and visually unappealing today, but there are so many ways to enjoy it, with so many different extra variables, that your first time with it will be an experience you likely won't forget, and you'll want to...

    Name a dying game series/franchise and a way to save it

    What Nintendo don't seem to understand is that racers are one of the few genres that don't need constant innovation. All that is needed is tight controls, proper physics and solid level design (although a good story mode like in GX wouldn't hurt either). Considering how F-Zero is one of those...

    Poll: Shows/Movies/Characters that you really don't find funny (but everyone else seems to)

    Anything with any relation to Chris Lilley. I have no idea how big of a deal he is in the Americas or Europe, but his shows are allegedly comedy masterpieces here in Oceania. Allegedly. For outsiders who don't know who he is, imagine Sacha Baron Cohen's characters. Now remove any of the...

    Games Reviews vs Youtube Commenters

    I try and avoid YouTube comments where I can, but there is always going to be someone out there who says or does something so mind-bogglingly, pants on head retarded that you can't help doing something to put them in their place and point out the absurd amount of flaws in their argument. Call it...

    Worst game you've ever played?

    Well I've played both Superman 64 and E.T on emulators, and they were irredeemable pieces of shite, but perhaps the fact that I previously knew they were terrible, combined with the fact that I spent no money on them, led me to not absurdly hate them like I know I should. The worst game I...

    Steam Summer Sale: What did you buy?

    My computer is kind of average for gaming, so I've only been able to buy non graphics-intensive indie games and older titles. But from that, I've purchased: The Binding Of Isaac Braid Garry's Mod Hotline Miami Just Cause 1 (seriously go and get it right now. I haven't installed it yet, so...

    Escapists, what are your deep dark gaming secrets?

    I have never completed any of the original Sonic games, despite it being one of my favorite franchises. The only one I did finish was Sonic CD, but that was honestly a bit easy. Even then, I have never achieved Super Sonic on any 2D Sonic game, even Sonic 4 or CD. I have sunk more time into...

    Most Underrated Weapon in Gaming

    The Blade Of Artemis from the original God Of War, if only because all of the attention it deserves is sucked up by the Blades Of Chaos. Sure, the Chaos Blades were cool, but being able to absolutely rip through enemies never got old for me. You could seriously do some major damage with that...

    Best Opening Stages In Modern Games

    I've been scrolling through a few fan lists of the "Best Level 1's in Gaming", and I couldn't help but notice how nearly every list was dominated by games from the NES/SNES/Genesis era. Even if Number 1 wasn't something cliched like Green Hill Zone or World 1-1, it was something a lot older than...

    What is your biggest gaming weakness?

    I absolutely cannot stand one stat being extremely higher than another, making things look skew or untidy. That is why I'm god-awful with RPG's and games where you can upgrade gear. I can never commit to one skill tree. Everything must go up in equal doses so that, i dunno, 'no stat feels...

    What games have made you physically angry playing them.

    Oh and god forbid you actually did that on the original PS2 version, because you got jack shit for doing it and the game just carried on as normal. At least the PS3 version gave you a nice, shiny Gold Trophy for the effort. But even that was misleading, since it gave you the trophy after only...
