    DLC for Dummies

    Ok, here is some comment on the day on DLC's. A lot of people think that if a DLC is offered on day one, it could as well have been in the game itself, but the content was 'split' to be offerered in a DLC. From my own experience I can tell you: It doesn't work like that. When a game is...

    Epic Mickey Offers No Choice

    I liked the witcher. It did moral choices right in two ways: 1: There was no good or evil. 2: It isn't clear what the result and effects will be in the long term. Stuff may happen hours later into the game as a result of a choice you made, and you didn't see it coming. As for the train...

    The Death of the Death Penalty

    These harsh games tend to be made my small indie companies so you really have to look for them. Some are even made as free games, but don't feature nice graphics...some are even made in asci art...but are damn good with their gameplay.

    The Death of the Death Penalty

    While I can understand the sentiment of people who want harsher deaths, for most people playing a game is a game. Something to relax and enjoy. Sometimes these games are played without full attention. Some people use WoW as a glorified chatbox; that's all fine. Those death penalties are not...

    The Death of the Death Penalty

    so what's the chaff then? People who don't enjoy harsh death penalties? Are people who don't want them 'wussies'? There are still games out there that are harsh, so I don't really get the point - you aren't being punished because not everyone likes harsh deaths. There are still games for you...

    Star Trek Computer Now a Reality

    I was looking at it and thought 'this is sweet'. I read the name of the maker and thought 'hell, that is my colleague!'. I checked - and yeah - it's him :) he's the talk of the company now.

    260: 1984 Out of 10

    This is why I prefer to read reviews without scores attached to it. Or at least a review which scores each aspect of the game individually. I mean; the importance of different aspects of the game might differ for each person, and it's more difficult to understand a score when it has been heaped...

    E for Everyone, Except Me

    Well the indie market flourishes like never before. Each platform has its own market, and each market works well. I see no reason for complaint. If I want a good game of a specific type, I'll go to that online market place and find a good indie-made game. In this place, games have been more...

    A View from the Road: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Microtransaction

    The 'problem' with MMO's is not that that they are boring and difficult to go through...well...Initially, that is. There is a problem. WoW is quite fun to go through, the first time. And maybe the second and third time too. But there are many players with more characters like that. And then...

    Has a game (if any) actually offended you?

    Not really offended, but annoyed... I was playing Devil May Cry 4, first DMC game i ever played. At some point there is a cutscene with a woman fighting baddies. A lot of effort went into making the camera stick on her boobs, ass and between her tighs in closeup slowmotion shots. It was...

    The Final Fantasy VII Remake is a Fantasy

    I would like to see some proof that FF7 remake would indeed be the success that people claim it would be. Of course there is a loyal fan base, but I think that people over estimate how many old players would buy the new game. So, if you really want to insist that it would rake billions, give...

    Shamus Plays: LOTRO, Part 16

    I believe that hobbits can complete a deed named something like "spider-foe". You have to kill 200 spiders for it. Yeah, it seems that hobbits hate spiders in general. This quest also made me think of the plot of "brother bear". You know, mama-bear drags off corpse of dead animal for her...

    249: From Fanfiction to Just Fiction

    As for the concern of mary Sue or not Mary Sue, I would not let it become a leading notion. lead characters often have Mary Sue traits, even in original published works. Just look at Naruto and Sasuke. Special powers, teen angst, exclusion in their past, it's all there. Though people don't seem...

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Director: "Every Man Loves Tits"

    Well, it's clearly a guys-only party. Reminds me of when I was playing DMC 4. There was a cutscene where a barely-clad women with big boobs was fighting, and the camera was practically glues to her ass and boobs. It kind of felt like being a little girl on a playground where I was pushed out a...
