    Maniac Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle

    It may be the greatest adventure game ever? Now it's not perfect because LA never quite perfected the SCUMM interface, but this is as close as any game in any genre has ever come.

    Why Left 4 Dead's DLC Is Free

    Yeah, maybe this patch was sort of necessary but that's not why its free. Smart game companies know that free content keeps people interested and attracts new buyers to the full game. It's all a question of math for valve but I'm sure their reasoning goes something like this. If the DLC costs...

    Sony Unveils Killzone 2 DLC Details

    Cause Killzone2 was the coolest name ever. I was expecting DeathMaps1. So this is okay.

    Will Chinatown Wars Hurt M-Rated Games on the DS?

    Well, we can ignore the fact that I just don't really understand handheld gaming, but it seems to me the most successful handheld games are not miniaturized versions of home console titles. They're the very handheld original titles that thrive. Pokemon, Nintendogs, Tetris, Lumines.

    Battle of the Box Art 2: Wii Shovelware Edition

    A couple days ago I made a thread examining the box art of Infamous and Prototype. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.106188 While this was fun and all, but lets be honest, the box art of these games will have little impact on their sales. They'll both have big media advertising...

    Poll: Call of Duty WAW

    Reviews don't need numbers, especially user reviews. It's a pet peeve of mine. Numbers are for professional critics to please their editors. These scores only attribute to the dumbing down of opinion. Let your opinion stand for yourself. I get tired of writing these little mini-rants on scores...

    Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist: Movie Review

    Have you ever tried way too hard to be cute to impress a girl, or a guy? You know, with a bad but hopefully endearing joke. Maybe you were wearing impossibly trendy clothes. I have. And the reaction goes like this; the girl flashes me an awkward smile and nothing else. This movie was the boy who...

    Noby Noby Boy's Mars Trip Delayed

    Hey you know what would make that game better: A set of goals/challenges. Once you beat the trophies and dick around for a while, their is nothing left to do. There should be challenges like, "Stretch to 400 meters" or "knock 50 people off the edge" or anything really. EDIT: but at bucks...

    Protoype vs Infamous: The Battle of Box Art

    I think what's important is what image is more memorable. I think the infamous yellow jacket is that more that image than the prototype silhouette. Not only is yellow/black going to catch your eye(although white will too) the image is going to stick with you more than prototypes. At least that's...

    Protoype vs Infamous: The Battle of Box Art

    The rubble in the background does create uncalled for clutter. It'd be better served with just the street and a dark sky. A Cleaner look. I get that they want to communicate that it takes place in a city but it isn't needed.

    360 owners outraged over Gears of War 2 PS3 port

    Trust your instincts. It's not funny. I assume it's a riff on Japanese 360 owners being furious that a 360 exclusive JRPG is coming to the PS3. Apparently they bought a 360 for this game in addition to their PS3's they already own and are pissed off because it is actually going to be released...
