    CliffyB Thinks Used Games Are Bad, Sony is "Playing Us"

    If I were to share my feelings on the games industry's continual attempts to squeeze as much money out of gamers as possible (usually with a bizarre 'it's better for you' justification)it would probably go on for a while. So, in the interest of being succinct; 'Cliffy' can do one.

    Team Builds Life Size X-Wing With Legos

    Three thoughts immediately spring to mind; 1) That's just awesome and I want it. 2) After it's been exhibited for a year, will it be broken back down? I very much hope not! 3) Reading 'Legos' hurts my brain. It may only be a British thing but I've only ever known the plural version to...

    The Unofficial Friendly Steam Trading Thread

    Probably on a hiding to nothing considering that everyone, everywhere, owns it BUT I've got 'The Orange Box' to trade...

    Cast Your Vote for the Greatest Game in Escapist History

    That caught my eye as well...that said, I can't see any sports game doing that well when it comes to my fellow escapists, it seems to be the forbidden genre around these parts!

    Assassin's Creed Devs Don't Hate the British

    It's a hard for me to find something in that article to be annoyed at really, I mean, yes we're likely to end up wiping out half the English population (purely in terms of numbers, I know England isn't getting invaded) during the course of the game but so what? It's not real, it's not made with...

    The Defenestration of Erin Stout

    Didn't this used to be about a cynical games writer with a quirky, yet not dickish, demeanour? There appears to be a distinct lack of games, writing or quirky going on (plenty of batshit crazy bitchiness though)...still, I suppose I keep reading it for some reason, I just can't decide whether...

    Knight Errant

    When did this turn into the webcomic equivalent of '2 broke girls'? Chuck in a bit of casual racism (realistically, don't see it happening thankfully) and you're there, a lead character with witty (assuming that 'witty' is the same as 'dickish') remarks is already in place after all.

    E3: Xbox Live Goes Big on Sports

    I may be wrong (though for once I actually doubt it, go self confidence!) but that sounds awfully 'US-only'...any news of an equivalent coming to those of us in the EU?

    Far Cry 3 Insane Edition Gets Crazy

    I...what? I mean seriously, what on earth did I just watch? When did special editions start getting their own (bizarre) release trailers anyway? Nice to see that Europe actually gets something that the US doesn't (for now), makes a nice change from other pre-order bonuses we've no chance of...

    New SimCity Will Require Always-On Internet - UPDATED

    Well that's genuinely disappointing. I've sunk far too many hours into the previous SimCity games to be considered healthy (is it disturbing to get sexual thrills from a well-maintained public transport system? All those lovely train tracks...mmmm) but I honestly think this'll be the first one...

    Curt Schilling Defends Kingdoms of Amalur Online Pass

    I'm sure I'm not the only one (it's the internet, no-one's EVER the only one) who's getting sick to the back teeth of the clamour to cash in on second-hand game sales by some of the companies out there. Whilst I actually have no issue with companies offering 1st day DLC free to those that buy...

    The Ultimate Star Trek Apartment Is Lost To Divorce

    As an alternate view, I sense someone who now wants to make the money back on a sound investment and, as a bonus, get an (apparent) freeloader out of the way. Anyway, the guy must've known that this was a distinct possibility, the money he sunk into messing around creating said nerdvana would...

    Microsoft Reveals the Most played 360 Games of 2011

    Why oh why must intelligent commenters on here persist in making and spreading generic assumptions on the mental capacity of CoD/FIFA/Madden gamers? It would be no different to someone calling all players of Skyrim basement-dwelling, WoW-playing geeks or GTAIV players latent psychopaths just...

    Steam Christmas Sale

    I've got a coupon for the Orange Box (Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2) if anyone is willing to trade for something interesting? In case anyone's wondering, I've got it already otherwise would be cashing it in as...
