    Let's talk about old games as if they were brand new!

    Aw man I just started playing Baldur's Gate and it is awesome! The infinity engine looks amazing and it's great to finally see a complex, engaging RPG. I just hope they release a version for the xbox soon.

    what game got you into gaming

    Command & Conquer. Just couldn't quite get into the third one though, for some reason. Makes me a little bummed out.

    We Need a Lady Assassin

    Hey all, I've been playing Assassin's Creed lately and with the new one coming out soon that's supposed to be the last one of the Ezio games the thought strikes me that it'd be nice if one of the next games has a lady assassin whose memories we live out. We're always talking about good...

    The protagonist of the last game you played wants too have sex with you.

    I can't remember if I played a little FF6 since doing a little half life 2. I know I played a "find the words" game on kindle. Can you have sex with...vowels?

    The last weapon you used shall now be used to perform your colonoscopy

    I was playing C&C3, and I'm not quite sure what my last weapon used was. Either an Obelisk of light, Venom attack craft, vertigo bomber, or Avatar mech. Is it safe to say I'm hosed no matter what?

    Be a man (Say something you hated about a game you Love)

    I'm another Mass Effect fan. Playing through the first one again recently I realized how atrocious the cover system was. And it really pisses me off that they went to the "thermal clip" system to genericalize things in the second one. Of course nothing more needs to be said about planet...

    Explain your username/avatar.

    DevTrek is my first email address from when I was totally into Star Trek. Dev is part of my first name, and while I'm not that into Star Trek anymore I've decided the Trek is a neat little expression of my journey through life or whatever and kept the name. Avatar is a picture from the very...

    Are sexualised women in games insulting to male audiences too?

    I don't feel insulted by a video game selling 'being sexy' (if you find that blatent pandering sexy) any more than the latest craptastic movie release sporting its scantily clad female lead. What bothers me is that there are so few titles that have female characters that don't feel sexualized...

    Trailers: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Adam Jensen Profile

    I remember reading that they designers specifically used a yellow and black color scheme. Yellow to represent hope and advancement brought about by the advance of technology like human augmentation, and black to represent the evil and ethical problems of what was coming. Yellow and black...

    Would you Kindly? a VG Quote Thread

    From Mirror's Edge: "Once this city used to pulse with energy. Dirty and dangerous, but alive and wonderful." and "They chose a comfortable life." or from the ad "They wiped away all the grittiness and humanity that this city ever had. I'm going to show them that they missed a spot." From...

    Guys That Play Girls In Games. Why?

    First and foremost I'd mention that it's because that's the default character (i.e. Faith in Mirror's Edge). But all right that's avoiding the issue. I think when given a choice I'll choose female when there's a character customization screen just 'cause I'm more interested in tinkering with...

    Rebecca Mayes Muses: The Mirror

    I'll tell you what's beautiful: Rebecca Mayes! Seriously though, a fine composition. I agree with what has been said plenty before, but do think it should be recognized that Hollywood perpetrates the "perfect looking body everywhere" at least as much as gaming. It's a part of the escapist...

    Poll: Sick of Chuck

    I'm a fan of Chuck. That said, no one else has to. I hope it stays on the air, some people might not-but if you don't like it just don't watch it. As for making room for something better, this is on NBC which recently opened up five weeknight slots with the whole Leno thing.

    Book Publisher Wants to Improve Videogame Stories

    This could be good. My advice to these writers, not that they'll ever hear it or anything, is that video games excel in setting. If you can create an interesting world there's nothing like a game to let people explore and interact with it. I think most book writers care mostly about...

    Shows That Didn't Make It but You Loved Greatly

    As a number of posts and enough fan support and involvement for Universal to make a movie have already said,Firefly. Also Century City (Excellent concept that I loved loved loved, but the acting/production value and some more left a little to be desired), Journey Man, New Amsterdam, Futurama...
