Just an FYI, the original Age of Pirates is not worth getting. Age of Pirates 2 is great though, but only if you can stomach its (many) flaws and quirks (including but not limited to bugs, terrible translation, difficulty being all over the place, occasional tediousness, lack of a decent...

As someone who genuinely enjoys SimCity while recognizing its flaws and issues I'd have been seriously pissed off had they just abandoned it to work on a sequel because some people felt it wasn't worth supporting. Also, while I have no idea why it took this long to implement offline...

It's not buggy so much as outright broken right now. I'm still enjoying the bits of the game that work correctly and I genuinely look forward to the day the bugs are fixed and some of the other issues get looked at (as I do honestly feel there's a good game buried in there somewhere), but this...

Afterlife is actually by LucasArts, believe it or not. That game had awesome atmosphere and humour, but I always felt it was a micromanagement nightmare. Real love/hate relationship with that game :P

Susan Arendt's argument in the hypothetical hiring question is problematic because people can have problems with a wide range of personal characteristics, including but not limited to gender, race, sexual preference, religion, political affiliation, the kind of car they drive, their sense of...

Since most of my favourites have already been mentioned, I'm just going to mention the Songs of the Return [http://www.imperial-library.info/content/songs-return] as my favourite contribution from Skyrim.

When it comes to the holds themselves, the Reach always manages to get to me with it's beauty. When it comes to the cities I enjoy all the mayor ones a lot, they're really well done. I have some issues with Markarth not feeling properly lived in, with hundreds or thousands of years of...

Oh yes, when looking out over the vast tundra or imposing mountain vistas in Skyrim I always thought 'this would be perfect if only there were 200 people running around slaying wolves'. I can't even begin to imagine how badly an MMO might mess up TES lore and continuity, so forgive me if I...

Eh, I agree with some of the criticisms and disagree with others ('it's not a happy ending!'), but ultimately what I felt was the worst thing about the ending was that while it gave closure to the story, it didn't give closure to the characters. And honestly, the characters in ME were way more...

Sadly, Ubisoft is also one of the few remaining publishers willing to put out awesome PC-centric games like Anno, HoMM and Settlers.

One of the reasons that wasn't mentioned in the podcast why males comment a lot on extremely sexualized females in video games is because these often betray a very low opinion of the male audience. I definitely think that plays a role as well.

"It's only a model" The games are not to scale.

Endermen are only really a threat if you built a really shoddy home for yourself. They don't move enough blocks for that ability to be dangerous right now. What it is, though, is really bloody annoying to come out in the morning and see tree trunks and leaf blocks strewn around and the...

Where have all the stealth games gone? Long time passing. Where have all the stealth games gone? Long time ago. Where have all the stealth games gone? Gone to action, every one. When will they ever learn? When will they eeeever learn?
