Is it just me, or does every innovation they tout on this thing basically just something the Switch did three years ago? And the color scheme is very... Oh gods. Sony has become Apple.

I think this is a good example of some people being far, far too oversensitive about certain things. While yes, Ms. Quinn's experience was horrible, this particular misunderstanding took actual effort to construct. Like Nintendo pointed out, the two points were separated by significant gaps in...

I'm definitely on the former side. I play games to enjoy the story and/or have fun. I may be terrible at it, but if I'm enjoying myself, then it's money well spent. Occasionally I get the "gotta get EVERYTHING" bug (like how I got every item, skulltulla, etc. in Legend of Zelda: A Link Between...

Hmm...I don't really blame them for this. Considering the technological advances that have passed between Morrowind and Skyrim (how many game engines has Bethesda made in that span of time?) the team would basically have to rewrite the entire game from scratch to bring it up to date. While fans...

While I'm not a player of The Division (some of the philosophical stances in the story worry me greatly) it's good to see Ubisoft pulling out the stops to curb cheating. I've lost track of the games I've played where obvious cheaters don't get punished, and it's good to see a company taking a...

Oooh, now this is interesting. It's always exciting to see new IP out from the House the Plumber Built, but even beyond that this looks like a neat concept. I've always loved games where you establish your own community and have to actually work to get the materials and such - that's one of the...

Well, color me surprised. I wasn't aware that the first Injustice had done well enough to warrant a sequel. Still, they certainly look like they've put some thought into this. Being able to upgrade your personal roster over time is a very interesting concept - particularly for a fighting game -...

Holy shit, guys. It's a bloody teaser trailer and all I see is "whine whine WHINE! Competing with Overwatch lost me FOREVURZ!" Jeez. I remember the old Quake games (the good and the bad. And Quake 4.). Considering how enormously popular the Quake Arena games were back in the day, I'm not...

Oh, great. Looks like Kratos gets to kill an entirely different pantheon of gods (guess the Greek ones weren't enough?). Okay, now that that is out of the way...This trailer. It looks VERY nice (but what doesn't, these days?). It's clearly somewhere in Scandinavia, which means that one) the...

I probably would treat them differently. After all, they don't know what they like, so part of my position is to help them find out.

Hot damn, some 40K love! I do have to agree; for what she had to deal with, the Lieutenant held it together remarkably well (to be fair, she's a Cadian, but still).

Blast to the past time! (if you've been reading any posts I make, this should come as no surprise) My favorite female protagonist would be Lucca Ashtear from Chrono Trigger. She's a genius who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty (whether by repairing another party member or by kicking ass)...

Final Fantasy XII is the only one in the series I have outright gotten bored with. To the point where I fell asleep while playing multiple times, once in the middle of a combat zone. It's just so hard to feel invested in a game where the characters are mostly cariacture cutouts of stereotypes...

The remake of the Robocop movie surprised the hell out of me. I was expecting another tired rehash of another sequel (insert whiny rant about how all movie remakes are shit here) but it really blew me away, and not just because it was a pretty damn good movie. I went in expecting a lot of action...

I think I'm going to buck the general trend and say terramancy (earth magic, in other words). Don't get me wrong, fire and lightning and necromancy and such are great, but...A fire can raze a town that requires years to rebuild, but the earth can swallow a city and make it as if it were never...
