    Roger Ebert Admits Games Aren't So Shabby

    Roger Ebert's assessments of film can be dubious at best anyway, so take that with a grain of salt.

    Failing, Falling, and Feeling

    This was a great read. It's nice to see that someone can recognize the design decisions in POP as underscoring a bigger storytelling theme.

    Resident Evil 5 Console Exclusives Unveiled

    A flash drive? what? Well, they get points for most utterly random tie-in, I guess.

    The Escapist Film Festival: First Place: Arcadocalypse

    Wow-- I wasn't expecting to be impressed, but I can't deny that I absolutely was :D A broad cast, dry humor, solid computer effects and excellent comic timing? Sign me up for that.

    Unskippable: First Place: Unskippable 01 - Lost Planet

    I liked it. Never hurts to borrow from Mystery Science Theater 3000, but these imitators are actually pretty good at it :D

    Every Prince of Persia Needs a Lady

    Well, historically the Aryans are descended from Persians, so that she has some Westernized features isn't too bothersome. Besides, doesn't this game take place NOT in historical Persian and instead in a storybook fantasy world?

    The Escapist Show: Episode Two: Vicious Cycle & Eat Lead

    Wait a minute, Moviebob is the Game Overthinker? I...suddenly feel violated at being tricked into watching something that moron made again. He'd almost be likable, if he wasn't an aggressively obvious Nintendo fanboy and if he didn't sound like a whining know-it-all preteen.

    Poll: What should be "Unleashed" next?

    I'm for Megaman being unleashed. Maybe then he could fire the gun vertically or not stagger backwards 20 feet like a drunk every time he's hit.

    Worst movie ever

    Parts: The Clonus Horror. The worst thing? Michael Bay apparently saw it and thought it would be PERFECT to rip off of for comparable bomb "The Island," somehow.

    the best game related suprise of the year!

    Dead Space. Flawed, sure, but given that I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as good as it was, it's still gonna be my personal pick for GOTY.

    The Official Fallout 3 Thread.

    I've never played the original Fallouts, and I hated Oblivion, but I am very excited for FO3. Frankly I'm interested because it looks like a fun FPSRPG in an interesting universe with some great use of incongruous music. Besides, aimlessly exploring a ruined dystopian city is more interesting...

    Far Cry 2: First Impressions

    Pretty much agree, though I have to say sometimes the enemy AI is frustratingly inconsistent. There have been times when I'd be right next to a guy, crouching slightly (what I wouldn't give for this game to have a prone option) and it would take him a few minutes to react, but other times I'd...

    Things you like that everyone else hates.

    Final Fantasy XII. Not perfect, but the only FF game that I actually enjoyed somewhat.

    3D Realms"Bewildered" By Max Payne Movie

    Good to know that the 3D Realms CEO has plenty of time to criticize a crappy video game movie, but not enough to work on Duke Nukem Forever... :P
