Generally, the worst thing you can do as a villain is to tell the hero your plan before you kill them. And to attach them to some sort of death machine while you leave the room, assuming it will kill them. Seriously, why don't you just pull out a gun, and SHOOT THEM IN THE FACE!

I like both types of RPGs equally. I also like the idea of mixing fantasy and sci-fi into one game universe. I liked the Cyberpunk setting of Final Fantasy 7 and 8, because it broke away from the traditional fantasy setting and included fantasy elements in a largely sci-fi universe. The...

FF7 was not my first JRPG. I played plenty of JRPGs before FF7, some better than others. My first Final Fantasy game gave me a bad first impression of the series. It was the DS remake of FF3. I honestly didn't like that game very much. Then I played FF7, and I was amazed at how awesome it...

I haven't played BioShock 2 yet, and while I do think the single-player campaign would have been enough, I don't think they were hurting anything adding multiplayer. The multiplayer was made by a different team than the team doing the single-player campaign, and I've heard a lot of good things...

I'm just thankful that a gamer STOPPED a school shooting instead of COMMITTING one. If the gamer was responsible for the shooting, the games would have been blamed as the influence that made him do it. Maybe this article will help politicians get it through their thick skulls that "gamer" does...

Yeah, I couldn't read the whole thing, but I read enough to tell that it was more of a rant than a review. I understand that it's your opinion, but you state it as if it's some scientifically proven fact. Also, even though you are entitled to your opinion, that doesn't mean that other people's...

I know a guy who thinks it's blasphemy that I can't really get into Oblivion. I told him that I didn't think it was a bad game, but that it just didn't appeal to me, and he still called me a blasphemer for not thinking that Oblivion is the best dark fantasy RPG ever made. As a side note, I...

I myself am Christian (I know, a minority on the Escapist, but I really don't care. This is the first time I've said this in the forums, though.). However, it's been years since I gave up anything for lent. Usually when I give up something, it's something that would benefit me if I got it out...

This is why I don't trust Game Informer as my only source to find out if a game is good anymore. They gave Dissidia: Final Fantasy, which is now one of my favorite fighting games of all time, a 6.5 out of 10. The reason for this was because the guy who reviewed it is supposedly an expert on...

This is the only correct answer. If you haven't played Portal, you MUST do so. If you're a gamer, and you go your whole life without playing it, you have failed at being a nerd.

This guy, right here. I also like Godzilla, Peter Jackson's version of King Kong, and the Cloverfield monster. Oh, and the Blob. The original movie was pretty campy, but in real life, a giant, living mass of goo that you can't so much as touch without it dissolving you and absorbing the...

AND THE PLANTS WERE SINGING AND THE BIRDS AND THE SUN WAS ALMOST DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE SKY! JOHN FREEMAN LOOKED AROUND THE COUNTRYSIDE AND SAID, "IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE BY ME AND HELP MY BROTHER TO DEFEAT THE ENEMYS!" Who would have thought something so retarded would...

Most video games are art. Except crap games like Two Worlds and the completely unplayable Big Rigs Racing (is that the name of the game?). Some video games are more "artsy" than others, but overall, video games in general can be considered art. The only games I don't consider art are the ones...

It's been a while since I've seen the BioShock review, but all I remember is him trashing it and saying it was a "dumbed down" version of System Shock 2. I don't watch Yahtzee's reviews to take them seriously. I watch his reviews to laugh at the many ways he trashes good games. The ONLY times...

Final Fantasy 13 looks like a major break away from the traditional formula in terms of gameplay. For anyone who's kept up with it, it looks like it could be a sign that JRPGs are finally evolving past random encounters, turn-based combat, and boring overworld maps. Yahtzee might give it...
