For me, its Darksiders. It was described to me as Zelda with God of War combat, but somehow they managed to suck all the fun out of both elements. Combat was incredibly repetitive, puzzles were uninspired, and there was no compelling plot or story. And yet it also felt very short; I was pushing...

I appreciate the devs just being honest about this. No "cinematic" line or anything else like that. They've just said, "Look, we want to do this with the graphics, so we can't hit this framerate." Everyone knows what they're getting, and you can choose to play it or not as a result. And I, for...

Very good read, very well reasoned. Still, I can't help but feel like the climax doesn't really make sense. Like, regardless of the stressful post-apocalyptic situation, I don't think humans would react that irrationally. There seems to be no reason Marlene wouldn't sit down with Joel and Ellie...

I think Arj Barker said it best: (if you don't get it, the bit at the end is sarcasm) But yeah, gay people, straight people, bi people, trans people, polyamorous people, people with fetishes, people without fetishes, sexually active people, asexual people, whatever. It's all great and...

So AC: Unity is the first Assassin's Creed game I haven't played--Ubisoft, you finally managed to kill of the last of my love for the series. But I like London. So maybe you can make this one good? I can be brought back...but only if you make a good game.

I beat LIMBO in 5 deaths recently. Got to the final hazard with four deaths, failed once, and then just scraped by to get the achievement. Most stressful run of a game ever. It actually wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be (probably took about 5-6 tries total), but it was a good challenge and...

I saw Birdman and was absolutely ready to love it. I thought it was pretty much a piece of shit. I ended up writing a review of it for my university's film review site: The TL;DR is that the movie thinks its really smart but makes no actual interesting or unique argument. It presents...

Dark Souls and FTL are the two games I've put a fair amount of time into that I still totally blow at. I'd like to be able to play fighting and strategy games, but I've never really figured those out. And I'm decent at shooters, but I'd like to be better I guess. I mostly play single...

I've always really liked Wanted. Whenever I flip channels or something and see it on, I'm like, "Am I in the mood to watch James McAvoy curve bullets? Why yes, I do believe I am." And things are good.

I've gone back to reading Terry Brooks's Shannara series (after the announcement of the TV show). People have mixed feelings about them, but to me they're very enjoyable books set in a fantasy world; not too dark or too full of themselves, just stories. The first book is basically just Lord of...

Scrambled, generally. Omelettes are my favorite, but that's more of a separate dish than "a way of preparing eggs," I guess, cause of all the extra ingredients.

If this is really the worry, why not just give the OS a name a la XP or Vista? Seems like it would be a much more sensible solution to the potential problem.

Well that is surprising. Thought the game looked pretty generic from the first gameplay demo and never followed up on it. But now...I might just have to check this out.

If this is reasonably priced, I might actually get this. Having never played any MGS games, I'd be interested in giving 1-3 a spin. I know the story's supposed to be, um, peculiar, but I'm interested in that stealth-action gameplay.

DIBS ON LEDGERMAN! OT, I probably wouldn't actually play this, despite being a both a board game and a Parks and Rec fan. But its funny that they're making it, so I'll give them a thumbs up and hope people enjoy it.
