Yeah I agree. I noticed from the screenshots the graphics are excellent, which isn't always a good thing - seen as good graphics get beaten all the time, whereas WoW's graphics, despite the recent overhaul, stay fairly timeless

With World of Warcraft still holding the MMO reins, will RIFT be able to gain enough market to be an MMO giant? Most people who play MMOs either play WoW, or have had an active subscription at some time or another. Will RIFT be able to take the WoW playerbase for their own? What do we...

What do you think makes a good game? A gripping storyline? Great Gameplay? A balanced game? An addictive game? A game with a great online community? Tell me what you think

Yeah it's a pain. Doesn't last forever though - great when you get everybody together

A recent study shows playing First Person Shooters like Counter Strike is bad for the brain... He shouldn't have accepted that request for a knife fight

The guy who plays Norman Jayden quite probably is English. He was on a BBC adaption of braveheart or something like that

In WoW I have over 200 of my life gone. Not played in 3 weeks. I think I may be cured

I'm a smoker. I smoke a lot. 20 a day since the age of 14 - I'm now 18 and I've not cut down at all. I also drink a hell of a lot. I'll probably die of liver failure or cancer but we all die some day. Here's a big "meh" to mortality

QTE can indeed add a lot to a game. It gives you a sense of urgency however, heavy rain gives you too much and not enough of anything else. If all the cutscenes in HR were QTE that would be great, but the whole game is...it's like it's one big cutscene

Do quicktime events really count as gameplay, or are they just a pain stringing together a film incorporated into a game? Don't get me wrong! Heavy Rain has a good story and the decision making and the massive effects it has is a great idea - but only really in a way that the "turn to page...

I don't think FF has completely seen it's day and by jove have I just spent a lot of time on FFXIII but there are quite a few things that they could have done better. The game is too linear. In this day and age linear is frowned upon with the widespread of sandbox games and it was nice to see...

Ok, ok. By free time I mean time that isn't taken up by work, kids, shopping, wife nagging etc. By free time I mean time that is time that is completely your own to do what you please like play games, read, watch television, something rhyming with pasturbating. I spend nearly all free time on...

Blizzard only have so much money because they refused to release their games until they were virtual masterpieces. This is not something smaller (or bigger, but less daring) will usually do. More production time = more cost. That extra money spent on production time is a risk. If the game...

I don't mind any genre I want people's all time favourites that I may have not played. Also - not Demon's Soul's _zuul after the ZP review :P
