    Why I am boycotting L4D2

    I like the look of some of the features for L4D 2, they seem to go far beyond simply a few new weapons and some new maps. Im not totally sold on the idea of a sequel so soon, not sure if its because the original is a short game or because theres no more Zoey. What I do know is that i bought and...

    Dawn of War 2

    My gripe against the choice for small army size is that they introduced the Tyranids in the game but still kept the entire game to small squad encounters. I have no problem with the small squad sizes in a 40k game, i actually like the idea of being attached to the same units throughout a...

    Freespace 2; a long lost genre's last words.

    Visual enhancements look awesome! I am a massive fan of (as i knew it) Conflict Freespace and Freespace2. Its good to see a review of an updated feature and its very well structured and detailed. While Freespace2 was very alike the original i do remember a distinct pro and con from the game at...

    X3: Reunion review

    Nice review although i personally never like reading swear words in reviews, not sure why. This review never degrades to just ranting for the sake of slagging off a game you didnt like. You make no apologies for the negativity but theres always examples or context to back it up and I loved your...

    Dawn of War 2

    Take heart, your review is very readable and flows well. Except maybe for the very start that you suggest is 'skippable if you know already'; just make those details part of the review without disclaimer. You already assert at the end of the little section that the game itself reveals nothing of...

    Dawn of War 2

    yeah it would be worth mentioning that its a Single Player campaign review, especially in DOW2 where the multiplayer is a totally different format to the single player. And maybe something about the customisable squads spicing it up a bit would be nice. Also that more than one person can play...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic

    The trailer makes me look forward to this and it also makes me a bit dissappointed that its an MMO. Those 2mins are better than the 3 prequel films put together; i actually felt for the character that bites it in the end. It looks really good but as an MMO i dont know, can you ever avoid the...

    Hot girls (or guys) that you consider unattractive

    Odd you start with Jessica Simpson in your example, that is mine too. I find her in no way attractive, she just doesnt do it for me. Pink on the other hand...

    Should you brag about your IQ?

    Maybe you can find a use for an IQ, if its low enough I think theres a point where you are legally a moron. Might get you off the hook one day, though not sure you'd want to brag about it.

    Zero Punctuation: Mirror's Edge

    You can praise the creativity or original IP all you want but it still gets a review as "diarhea slide" whereas the high numbered sequels, although lambasted for being unoriginal and killing creativity, still frequently grab mediocre to high rating reviews. I think something really worrying just...

    Review: Left 4 Dead

    Nice review. Want to levy 1 criticism (and it might be coz i missed it...) you only mention playing as the 4 survivors in co-op. The game can really take off for some people when you play 4v4 taking turnabout as survivors and infected to try and beat the other team. It can also be played single...

    Review: Mount & Blade

    Nice review, really got an impression of the authors exhilaration in the fighting and the rather 'meh' front end its wrapped up in. The combat really is outstanding; not been this involved in combat since Severance:Blade of Darkness. Best in many years by miles. On horse or foot, axes...

    Eagle Eye

    I saw this one. Your review goes into alot more detail than I'd ever bother with on this film so gratz on doing the review. Billy Bob Thornton is by far the best thing about this film. The rest of the film just pales in comparison. The film is close to genius though; its like a high-budget...
