    What is your favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster, Spell,and Trap Card?

    It's been ages since I've played, but I remember these three being my favourites: Monster: Magic: Trap:

    Time Lists Top Ten Videogames of 2012

    Of all the top 10 lists I've seen from big companies, this is (surprisingly) the one I find most agreeable. It's got a healthy mix of genres and experiences and for the most part, I think it's well chosen. GW2 is dangerously close to becoming my favourite game of all time and may eventually...

    Nintendo President Says Competitors Must Respond to Wii U

    I'm really hoping they -don't- respond to it. Whether you like or don't like the new gimmick, you can at least appreciate that it's not for everyone. Like I've said before, the biggest reason I've touched my Wii is because of gamecube games and Wii games that don't use Wii-motion. Outside of a...

    Poll: A Game Must Stand On Singleplayer Alone

    I wouldn't call it underwhelming as a single player game. I spent plenty of time having fun with the numerous challenges and tournaments single-player. The ability to use a wide range of bots with different stats and an awesome collection of weapons meant I could enjoy all the match types...

    Do "Nerds" Not Enjoy Sports, Or Just Not Mainstream Ones?

    I love watching Tennis and the Fifa World Cup. I also enjoy some of the unconventional sports in the Olympics (EXTREME badminton for example). As for playing, I enjoy basketball, hiking (If it counts) and I think I'd enjoy kayaking if I had the chance to do it more than once. I had mixed...

    Games you have played with non-gamers

    I played the original Golden Axe with my grandmother. She played the dwarf and left a trail of blood in her wake. It was awesome.

    Medal Of Honor Warfighter Review

    An informative and very entertaining review, I hope to see more reviews from you Gav~! My brother loves military shooters, I'll make a point to warn him away from this one (and maybe motion him towards Battlefield?).

    Just started Morrowind for the first time this weekend....

    Thank you for the help. I think I'll buy the GOTY edition and give Morrowind another go these holidays.

    Just started Morrowind for the first time this weekend....

    Does anyone know if a 'quest tracker' mod exists for Morrowind? I don't necessarily need the arrow system, just a neater way of keeping track of separate quests than one messy journal. I don't get to play video games too often nowadays, so I'd prefer it if I could easily see where I was rather...

    We want your ideas for a book on video game philosophy!

    My suggestion would be to focus on a specific issue or theme and explore it across multiple video games. Any one aspect of philosophy has multiple competing schools of thought to it and generally writing an essay about any particular issue involves putting forward one main argument while...

    Australian...Quidditch?

    You'd be surprised. They recently set up quidditch hoops and started holding try-outs in front of my university. I imagine most people accept its silliness but are competitive about it nonetheless. But hey, my university also has a lego and circus club, so open-mindedness tends to be the done...

    Study Skyrim at Rice University

    Yes, a precedent! My goal in university is to -hopefully- study video games as a type of 'literature' through my English department. Really, video games give us a new way or presenting an engaging with themes that already exist in traditions of literature. I think the whole 'video games are...

    DoA Dev Says Jiggle Physics Are Part of Japanese Culture

    I would like to retroactively withdraw all my past comments in defence of the DOA series. As per usual, I'll point out that things like this are a silly, annoying and unnecessary part of games. If you're really that desperate to stare at female-like bodies, you're a 2 second google search...

    Electronic Arts Says the Future is Freemium

    ....so they want to charge us to play demos? Protip - We can play demos for games now free of charge, true story.

    Can people not enjoy movies anymore?

    I loved the movie and because I do, I'm more likely to look into it. I think the problem here is that you assume that critiquing/looking into something automatically disqualifies it from being entertaining. I feel in most cases if something is truly entertaining, it'll be even more entertaining...
