    Ex-Sony Dev: Wii U Won't Last Another Christmas

    I think Nintendo should just double down on the 3DS and the handheld market. Let's face it, they lost the bulk of their 3rd party support in the PS1/N64 era. And if the 100+ million sales of the Wii didn't bring the other publishers back, what hope do 4 million Wii U have? Following the...

    Poll: XCOM vs Dishonored vs Hitman: Absolution vs Far Cry 3

    I've an Xbox 360 and I only have the time and money for one new release this Christmas. I enjoyed the XCOM demo, although it seemed a little slow. I've heard Dishonored is fun, if a little short and sterile. I enjoy stealth games but Hitman is said to have a weak story and has received a...

    Metacritic needs to change!

    It's clear that our 7-10 game review scale leads to highly inflated review scores. I believe Metacritic should introduce an A-Fgrading system to compensate for this. Let me demonstrate with some of this year's games: A: 92-100. A definite GOTY contender. Only minor flaws detract from an...

    Why does everyone love Bioshock?

    I wasn't a big fan either. Half of the game was backtracking and looting to find 5 or 6 mcguffins. I never had enough health and the stupid vita-chambers didn't help. Every time I finished a level the game would say - oh, there's one or two little sisters you haven't found yet but I could never...

    Poll: Can Skyrim win me over?

    I'm a massive Fallout 3 fan. It was the only game I played for the first 6 months of 2009 and I put over 60 hours into it. But I played Oblivion a year earlier and I just couldn't get into it. I reckon it was because there's was no Megaton-like town after you exit the sewers in Oblivion, a place...

    People whose names that seem there parents didn't think over

    There was a guy in my brother's class called Robert Gentles. JUst an unlucky surname I guess. When he went to secondary school (age 12) he changed his name in the school roll to Robert Scott to avoid teasing.
