    Diablo III's Auction House

    So... no mods, no skill point, can only play online, and a bloated economy auction house where you can buy power for cash. Yeah, no thanks. Now what will I do for my bashy-slashy fun? Oh, they're making a Torchlight 2? Bye Blizzard!

    Zero Punctuation: Monster Hunter Tri

    Actually, the Mass Effect elevator rides were probably the single most complained about thing in the entire game. There were threads with upwards of a thousand posts about it on Bioware's forums after the release, and they were mentioned as bad by a large number of reviews. I mean, hell, there's...

    Review: Lost Planet 2

    My problem with the game isn't that it's co-op. Co-op games are good, fine things. It's that the last one was decidedly not co-op and this one is almost entirely multiplayer. I'd imagine quite a few people that were fans of the last game and don't really play online got this and are sort of...

    Zero Punctuation: Monster Hunter Tri

    Having not played this monster hunter, but having played most of the others, I can say that Yahtzee is almost certainly 100% correct in this. The games are like Demon's Souls with controls that feel less responsive, enemies that hurt more, insane levels of grinding (much of which involves...

    View from the Road: What Do WoW and Twilight Have in Common?

    I think I love you Funk. I hate all the harping on about how they aren't really vampires, when people should really be ranting and raving on just how bad the books are. I wrote better stories when I was nine and knew nothing of grammar or narrative structure.

    LoadingReadyRun: Who You Gonna Call?

    Something tells me this vaguely started with someone going to the optometrist. Not as funny as some a lot of your guys other stuff, but not horrible.

    Unskippable: Stormrise

    Out of all the cutscenes you've lambasted so far, that one was by far the worst. It's like someone took 5 or 6 different plots and tossed them in a blender or something.

    The Truth About 4th Edition: Part One of Our Exclusive Interview with Wizards of the Coast

    I dislike 4th for a variety of reasons, many of which are of the 'already know 3rd too damn well and have all the books' types of reasons. A few are not, however, and they're generally the ones that I feel are more compelling. Those are the primary reasons that I prefer 3.5 over 4th, but...

    Poll: What Mass Effect alien would you want to be?

    Drell, never forget where you leave your keys, remember every word from every book you ever read, know the solution to any computer problem you've solved before, and so many other uses for an absolutely perfect memory.

    The Escapist Staff's Five Faves of 2009: Jordan

    Love Spelunky. Game's fricking hard to get used to, though. The randomness sometimes ads a horrible amount to the difficulty. MW2 just bores me, though. Not sure why, but I think it's mostly due to the lack of anything really new to it, and the absence of dedicated servers for the PC meaning...

    The Escapist Staff's Five Faves of 2009: Russ

    I actually don't like Dragon Age that much. The story and interactions are nice (awesome in some occasions), but the combat is incredibly frustrating until you figure out tactics, and after that it's boring. None of the abilities are interesting or fun to use, and few of them are really useful...

    Escape to the Movies: New Moon

    I started watching Twilight. To be safe, i watched with Rifftrax, just to make it more bearable since everyone said it was horrible. I just want it noted, that even with my LOVE of Mystery Science Theater and Rifftrax, I couldn't finish the movie. The acting in it isn't just bad, it's the...

    Poll: D&D

    Rogue/Bard, Lawful Evil. I enjoy being the face of the party, the skill monkey, and the man that will steal your baby to sell back to you for a nickel. I tend to be just evil enough to get a long talking to by Paladins, but not an outright slaying. Alternatively, I enjoy playing a chaotic...

    Stop Complaining and Make Your Own Game

    I've actually made my own RPG with the help of my friends before, something of a cross between Robotech and Armored Core. It was quite fun and actually well balanced, with the only real downside being that making the PC mechs took a great deal of time. The combat was intense and quite fun...
