Support it. Long term incarceration is stupid and expensive, hang them immediately after trial. I'm also pro-abortion and all for assisted suicide and euthanasia. Ugly things like these are acceptable to me when they're pragmitic and/or socially useful. IMO more laws should have practical...

Hoookay, so it's really just business as usual then, with no actual reforms in the pipe? What a shock. Oh 'Bama, you so silly. Even though you talk so pretty.

Myopic anti-consumer shenanigans in the U.S.? Gee whiz, who would've guessed.

In the past? Microsoft are awful and all their consumer targeted products are horribly compromised. XBOX has only ever been a strategic investment for them, they couldn't give a squirt of piss about videogames beyond getting their set-top box into your living room. These days Sony's hardly any...

You mean that disaster of a game, worse than Master of Magic in every way that matters? I've had zero faith in Stardock ever since GalCiv. Master of Orion was a relatively simple template with such obvious failings and they still managed to make a successor that was totally inferior to it's...

Woah... I'd be crazy to pre-order after the disappointment of GTAIV, but apart from the three protagonist thing that's looking pretty awesome.

Old MW/BT fan here... Mechwarrior Online is absolutely the worst thing that could've happened. Far worse than Mechwarrior being dormant, we now have a game that's actively poisoning folks against the franchise. If it'd stayed dead at least we might've gotten a (*mostly* complete) MW Living...

Krull? Nagger u srs? Both Labyrinth and The Neverending Story are packed with good stuff, whereas Krull is just charmingly awful. I don't think it'd be hard to improve on it at all - an inebriated oragutang could write a better screenplay by randomly smashing a keyboard.

Don't get too excited people. This *is* EA after all, they'll find some way to cock things up... That's what they do. It's all that they do.

This. So much this. After IV there's no way I'd be tempted to be stupid and buy V on release. Besides, seeing as how the Xbone and Piss4 are both x86 imma just wait for the inevitable PC version. 'Specially if they're dicking around with the preorder/retailer exclusive content BS. Better to...

They haven't, but they're also the kind of games that don't get made very often. Especially not these days. inB4 Bioshock, the Bioshock games are *very* poor successors to System Shock. SS/SS2's RPG elements got completely gutted, I assume to "broaden" Bioshock's appeal or some such bullshit.

Meh. Looks a bit crap (maybe that's just the Crowe factor), but hoping it does well. If Supes tanks WB will almost certainly can the Justice League movie - and that *is* something I'm keen to see.

We can only hope. If it *IS* like the original, I'll totally buy that shit - CoH was awesome. This "Premium Currency", "XP Boost" and "Unit Boost" business kinda has me worried though. :/

This. Back in the day a Lucasarts logo on a game box used to be like a seal of excellence. They were right up there with Bullfrog, Westwood and Origin Systems. But the Lucasarts that brought us Loom, Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Dark Forces, Jedi Knight and Grim...

Naw, the Dice dude is just giving us the PR speak version of "Battlefield 4 isn't going to wow anyone in the graphics department". Strange thing to write though... These days "AAA" and "creative" are pretty much mutually exclusive, and being limited to teeny tiny maps is *never* good.
