    If the founding fathers could see their country now, what would they think? (Not just US)

    I'm Canadian, we gained our freedom by asking nicely.

    Poll: Army Of 2, why are people giving it 5s and 6s out of 10?

    There is nothing original about this game, nothing that this game does in a unique way, no real reason to buy it. I can play Perfect Dark 64 with my brother and have much more fun than playing this game. The story is equally ignorable and the weapons and setting are equally cliche. Sure, Army of...

    Possible end to age ratings?

    If a kid hacks a console to bypass a parental control that allows him to play game with full gore and adult content, then there are a lot worse things they could be doing with their time. Parental controls aren't meant to keep bad content from bad kids. They are designed to keep otherwise...

    coolest thing you have done in an online match

    This one was cool: In CoD 4 the longest kill streak I ever obtained was a 21 kill streak obtained entirely by knifing. (Including the airstrike and helicopter I called, making only about 16 knife kills in a row.) This one was more satisfying than cool: In Soul Calibur 4 Special Versus...

    Storyline confusion.

    Here's a simple description of the nature of Kingdom Hearts and a simple plotline synopsis.

    the "impossibilities" of science.

    Darwin theorized such a device. However, our societal and cultural values seem to contradict natural selection because smart, intelligent, and/or successful individuals tend to have less children than stupid, really stupid, and/or poor people. Eventually, this could cause the extinction of...

    Games You Still Need to Play

    I should really, really play Portal, but I'm not a fan of Valve *duck from vegetable barrage* so I'm not that motivated to buy the Orange Box.

    Recommend an obscure RPG (for PS2)

    I highly, highly recommend Star Ocean: Till the end of time. It completely rocked my socks off. You will not in any way regret purchasing that game. You might also want to check out Kingdom Hearts 2. Although it isn't turn based, it has many RPG elements that make it difficult to classify as...

    Games you stuck with

    /sigh When I was younger I played Final Fantasy VII on a regular basis, beating it about twice a year. One summer I had 210 gameplay hours playing through that game 3 times in a 2 week period. There are only 336 hours in 2 weeks. I don't know how or why I did it.

    Diablo 3 fans, photoshop, and you!

    "They changed it now it sucks" That's their argument. If this game was named anything but Diablo 3, every single person's jaw would be gaping at everything about that game. The trailer alone was an exercise of pure awesomeness. Also, it's really easy to photo shop a 3D screen shot to...

    Worst videogame betrayal

    This doesn't REALLY count as betrayal but... I was playing Double Dragon 3 with my dad. Now, I'm really good at this game, but my dad is only decent (decent enough to stay alive anyways). We were having a good run and we get to the final level, Egypt. This level starts off with some...

    Do graphics ever stop you from playing a game?

    When I played the Ocarina of Time for the first time I described the graphics as "life-like". Any game with graphics superior to that will receive the most appreciation I can give to a game for its graphics. For me, graphics have never been the deciding factor on my enjoyment of the game...

    Poll: Is Halo 3 essentially for Halo Fanboys?

    In my opinion: Halo is without a doubt the best console FPS ever made. Console FPS's suck. Futher in my opinion: Halo 1 was a great accomplishment in gaming, somehow managing to take an extremely cliche premise to create a game that was fun to play. Its online multiplayer was...

    Is there such thing as a good MMO(RPG)?

    Unfortunately, the game you want to play doesn't exist yet. With the technological capacity of average PC gamers today, PvP battles featuring more than 50 players is simply illogical. With more players comes more lag, more frame-rate issues, and more griefers. If you're looking for an...
