My point was that there is no need to make a big deal about these 'respectable' 'high quality' papers in the UK which critcise games. I see sites like Kotaku making a big deal about them, my argument is that these papers are appealing to the people who want to read this kind of stuff. As such we...

Two leading newspapers in the UK have today published editorials that are damning to video games. The Times and The Telegraph have published editorials by Giles Whitell and Jenny McCartney respectively. The Times article is entitled 'Video games: I'll never buy one' and The Telegraph runs...

Taken from my blog - http://evo-wales.blogspot.com/ "Reports have been flooding in from numerous areas - cncnation.net, RPS and Shacknews among many that a new Command and Conquer FPS is in the works! Some of the current info on it follows (taken from the various sources above) You play...

Aegis - the original post of this thread was edited a while ago saying no more applications will be accepted. Just wondering when/if we are going to hear about this?

When I started gaming I listened to all the hype and would often go and buy a game just based on the attention it got in the magazines etc. Nowadays I tend to take it all with a healthy pinch of salt. I will often try to learn about a game before even thinking about buying it. Hype can be...

Geo-Mod tech from Red Faction. I loved that thing, would be brilliant to see a new game take that and implement it properly. It would be quite amazing with todays gaming capabilities.

The intro to FFVIII was pretty damn awesome I must say, one of the first top notch cutscenes I witnessed. Some on FFIX were also brilliant. Anything G-man related in the Half-Life series gets major recommendations from me. They are so chilling at times and foreboding, really really good...

I found Halo 1 a bit of a bore really at times. Sure there were some fun moments like the opening levels, but it quickly descended into a game full of the same areas...over...and over again. Something which frankly bored me. Also The Flood....really hated them. Why were they in the game? They...

I saw this last night on Kotaku and I wasn't really surprised. After all that has been slowly leaking out over the last week this pretty much just confirms everything we have already heard. The comment about the video is interesting as while I always thought it was poorly produced, Jeff's...

Getting beaten by my friends on Goldeneye was always a fun experience. I may never have been any good (maybe because I never owned a N64!) but that game was good fun for playing with your mates. I also enjoyed playing Timesplitters 2 on the PS2 with my friends, was a lot of fun with all the...

I think that would have been a bad idea, it is neither how it currently is, and isn't as big of an overhaul as they have just done. I think this patch has been a bit too long in coming and I personally see no need to play through the game again any time in the near future for a few more...

Well after the success of all of those franchises this comes as nothing of a surprise to me. I just hope they don't start churning out a game every year like EA does with its' sports games. Games like Call of Duty and James Bond should be given enough development time to be a really...

A new member to the MMOG business eh....intriguing! Any with someone of Descamps skills then I am sure that their marketing plans will be high quality and actually get gamers' attentions rather than putting them off something.

I am glad the guys from 1UP did their small piece of support, every little helps in this situation. Shame Gerstmann can't say anything, but I am not really that surprised. Just hope everything turns out for the best.

I don't always expect an amazing ending, or the best ending I will ever see, but I like a good ending to my games. Bioshock failed this leaving me feeling just like "Oh, ok...." Not completed Blood Money yet, but from what I have played the ending is bound to be good. This year...
