    Video Game Stories

    The first one I thought of was pong but due to it's simplicity providing so much possibility (for example an intergalactic war based on the propulsion of a large mass of energy), that I couldn't say it doesn't have a story. Even if you take it's base gameplay a story can still be told.

    Video Game Stories

    I had a discussion with a friend of mine about the idea of stories in games and I came to the conclusion that every single game has a story. Even an individual round of Street Fighter tells a story through each hadoken thrown and every kick blocked it provides a narrative. Really what I'm...

    The Biggest Baddy!

    Smith wasn't executed. What happened was much worse. He ended up loving Big Brother. That's how O'Brien destroyed him. Good nomination though.

    Don't Film These Games!

    I keep on hearing people calling the Mortal Kombat thing a SAW knock-off. Are people watching a different clip than I am? How can you compare a clip that sets up an underground fight tournament where most of the clip is a fight scene where the decapitation fatality off screen with a...

    Brutal Legend: Why do I hate it?

    Okay I know exactly what this guy is talking about. He thinks that it is going to be another Guitar Hero where all of the soul of the music is stripped away and it becomes less of an appreciation of music and more of a game that borrows a cool design pallet from popular metal bands. Well luckily...

    Sequels of games you WANT to see (Games that didn't have that chance as well)

    I would like to see a new Dawn of War as well. I want more Space Marine goodness. Yeah they did. There was winter assault, dark crusade and soulstorm. Then there's Dawn of War 2 which is also getting an expansion in the form of Chaos Rising. Happy now?

    What is Yahtzee Going to Hell For?

    For being boring

    If you could have one game remade what would it be?

    When remaking a game I'd need a good reason. For Blood Omen it would have to be the loading times and maybe a tightening up of the graphics. I can think of very few other games that need remaking.

    Seriously, America?

    What was that saying? "Empty vessels make the most noise". See the problem is I don't have a problem with America but unfortunately the stupidest people shout the loudest. I mean seriously. Some are still afraid of communism. I mean "Sign the Cross"! Are they serious. It's a pity that these...

    Why do people rush through Left 4 Dead, instead of enjoying it "properly"?

    I also like to take my time through the game. Frankly if I was in that world I'd be taking my sweet time to stay undetected rather than running head first into a room full of horde. My only problem with the co-op match up of the game is that point. You rarely get to team up with an entire group...

    Poll: Which legendary online shooter is best?

    TF2 to me always seemed like the most balanced shooter that I've ever played. Any time I get killed I usually fell like it was through player skill (except the pyro). There are no super powered weapons, just ones that work in different situations. And it's fun and funny at the same time. It's...

    Poll: A Nintendo Wii... FREE!

    I'd go along with him until he'd do something like ask to meet him in a secluded place or if he asked for my address.

    Poll: What is your current relationship status?

    You should really add "In a Relationship" as I think that mine is a bit more than "dating".

    Halo:Reach

    Didn't Bungie say that they weren't doing any more Halos after Halo 3. Oh besides Halo:Wars cause that had been announced before that. And ODST doesn't count cause it's not the same. What's there excuse for this one. That it's a prequel. Lets be honest Bungie are never going to do anything else...

    The Biggest Hoax Of All Time?

    Well regardless of whether it's happening or not (*ahem it is) we still shouldn't be doing what we're doing. I mean needless usage of fossil fuels still isn't a good thing.
