    What makes a game: Mechanics vs narrative

    This. You can't really weigh Street Fighter IV's gameplay Vs Mass Effect's story, just like you can't compare a Quentin Tarantino movie to Dragon Ball Z. Apples and Oranges. I can have as much fun with Devil May Cry 3's combat as I can with Skyrim's Story and Lore. And the idea that there...

    Games you think are overrated

    The Half-Life series, I was never able to discover whatever it is that made it so special to everyone else. Half-Life 2 is nothing more than a 8 out of 10 experience for me. I don't understans the obcession with Half-Life 3, I'd rather see valve do something new like an First-person RPG with the...

    Worst Feeling in a MOBA?

    The following people frustrate the hell out of me and make me want to stop playing mobas. Dota 2: People who complain at me for picking Sniper in ranked matches and then feed the hell out of top. People who complain that you have item X in your build, closed-minded idiots who watch a...

    Your favorite game, and why.

    Like a sex addict at the playboy mansion, I can't pick just one. I'd say my Top Three at this moment are The Last of Us, Skyrim and Mass Effect 3. Regardless of how it ends, Mass Effect 3 is still one hell of a journey.

    Has a game affected your dreams?

    Just yesterday I dreamt that Mass Effect 4 was gonna look like Battlefield 3 because it is on the frostbite 2 engine. The colours were all washed out. It was a horrible nightmare.

    Movie Defense Force: Alien 3

    Nice video, Jim! I bet all of your fans are hoping to see their guilty pleasure movies in Movie Defense Force. Best of luck with your new show.

    "Games are a luxury item." So?

    I've had this discussion with a friend of mine lately and he pulled the "luxury item" argument on me too. To which I replied that despite being luxury items, that doesn't automatically mean that only a small group of people should be able to afford them. As it is right now, if two games that you...

    Jimquisition: Limited Collector's Complete Edition

    Agree 100%. I'm very interested in Kingdoms of Amalur but no way I'm getting the collector's edition. Probably not even gonna get the game on launch. Few are the titles I pick on day one precisely because of the reasons you mentioned.

    Jimquisition: The Dark Horses of 2011's Fall Lineup

    You should see the ones he did before the escapist. Really great stuff. You can find them easily on the youtube.

    Jimquisition: BOYCOTT!

    The reason why we see so much whining over trivial things is because gamers are just people at the end of the day, and people are stupid. This is why there are people who watch really TV, who are vegetarian and even people who blamed the recent UK riots on videogames. For that reason, I don't...

    Jimquisition: Nintendo of America

    Gimmicks and innovation are two very different things. As for creativity, we can find that on other systems as well. You only miss it if you want to. About getting the same thing over and over with a slight graphical update... Isn't that people do every time they buy a Mario game?

    Jimquisition: Nintendo of America

    Guys this is actually a good thing! Remember when Sega released the SegaCD/MegaCD and refused to support their system, and then nobody gave a fuck about the Saturn and the Dreamcast? Remember Sega had to leave the hardware business and focus only on games because they couldn't afford another...

    Jimquisition: Accountability

    Yeah. This shit is getting out of hand. My brother was so pissed when he had to create a GFWL account to play a steam game. Nice video, Jim. As always.

    Battlefield 3's Pre-Order Firepower Upsets Gamers

    Fuck pre-orders and special editions. Give everyone the same content, you greedy basterds.

    Zero Punctuation: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

    The original Halo and the original CS were released 1 year apart, CS retail was released in 11/08/2000, Halo 1 was released 11/15/2001. Even in videogame terms, that's not a long time. Yes, nowadays I find CS and CSS mediocre, the games didn't age well. The Halo franchise is also mediocre...
