    Shadows of Mordor needs a hard mode. Death mechanics and difficulty.

    Agreed it could really do with a higher difficulty. I died twice on my first play through and one of those was because I attacked the wrong war chief and had to deal with four captains at once.... (branded all of them and went back after him with *all* of his bodyguards turned to my side). No...

    Poll: Do You Write In Cursive?

    I can and It's part of 2nd/3rd year primary education here. However I don't need to handwrite much any more and forms and other official documents generally need to be clear, hence block capitals or just non-joined. It really shouldn't be taught in schools any more. It's a pointless skill.

    Pokémon: How meta are you?

    EV training is easy enough and I've found myself doing it now and again just to destroy a friends team with lower level pokémon. IV's are ridiculous and I'd personally like to see them removed from the game.

    Replaying Old Games: The Importance of Graphics

    I can quite happily play Dwarf Fortress and Rogue, Super Mario and Crash Bandicoot. What I do take issue with though is extremely badly done low poly 3D. e.g Warzone 2100 and games from that brief era at the end of the 90's that tried to do too much with a very tight poly limit and ended up...

    BioWare Defends Mass Effect 3 Launch-Day DLC

    i think what most people are annoyed about here is that you're paying for a product and then getting resold chunks of the same product that have been cut out of the original in the name of profit. It's like getting sold a house without windows, it's something that you CAN do without but which...

    SOPA Storms Back

    Don't forget that if facebook and youtube and other American internet giants get destroyed that you can garuntee another foreign company will move in to capitalise on the vacuum in the service market. It'll be the republicans worst nightmare, big business going to other countries. Perhaps...

    Square Enix Responds to "Racist" Deus Ex Character

    People need to learn to lighten up, the developers gave all characters of all races various accents, most are stereotypical, some are probably the voice actors speaking normally. Unless they actually went and got voice actors from all over the world to record voice acting in their normal...

    PS3 owners- What are the benefits of a PS3?

    The biggest advantages to the PS3 are in order (imo): #1 Free Online Service - no Xbox Live gold membership drain on your income #2 Blu-ray - No disc switching, ever. #3 Graphical Capability - The PS3 has more horse power, a PC it isn't but you'll notice a definate improvement over the 360...

    PC Gamers: will you buy Mass Effect 3 if it's not on Steam?

    I'd buy it from almost anywhere but a service owned by EA. I remember the EA store. So aslong as it's available somewhere other than origin I'd buy it if it wasn't on steam.

    Recall your worst DRM related problem

    My worst experience with DRM is a close call between Assassins Creed and Assassins Creed 2. With the first Assassins Creed, because of that issue where the call home DRM kept hammering on the internet connection nearly constantly my internet connection became unstable all the time and...

    Jimquisition: BOYCOTT!

    Valid points. I had no idea people were so agitated by the new sonic games physics being off. It's a sonic game, when have they ever been realistic? I'm still not buying Diablo III though. As you said in your video, issues where publisher control comes before consumer convenience are the...

    Battlefield 3 Will Require Origin

    Argh not more steam-like software. I've already got steam and impulse. When will people realise that managing your games through a website and having no extra software on your computer (like GoG, D2D or gamersgate systems) is a much better way of doing things.

    Bethesda Says Mojang's Scrolls Infringes on Elder Scrolls Mark

    well isn't this insane. Taking legal action against a company because the name of their product is contained within your products' name. This is like blizzard trying to take legal action because minecraft contains the sylabal "craft". I still love bethesda but wow they need to strike off...

    Google Wants A Piece Of The Games Biz

    This really is good news. Google are yet to create a product that has been locked to any platform so will this finally be the change in the industry that brings Mac gameing further into the limelight, Linux gameing into existence and destroys the Microsoft monopoly? Read the ad. "You...

    US Seeks Extradition For UK Student's Copyright Violation

    Three things: #1 Extradition for something this trivial is moronic. #2 American laws are NOT world law and the guy they're trying to extradite is not in breach of UK copyright law. #3 Surely the companies that own the sites where the videos are hosted are more responsible for this than...
