    Escapist Under New Management (Again)

    Wow, just randomly came back out of morbid curiosity to see what state the forums were in. Only to be greeted with this news. Good luck to all on the revamp, this used to be my favourite gaming site back in the day.

    You Won't Need a Monster PC to Take Back the Streets of New Bordeaux in Mafia III

    Gotta agree with pretty much everything here, the IGN footage was pre-release and worrying enough. But like most gamers I know do now I wait for reviews of the final copy before I buy anything... This is why I didn't get stung by that No Man's sky fiasco, or the aliens marines fiasco, or...

    Is Reddit Under Secret Surveillance by the Government?

    This was first reported by Reuters, not a source known for making light hearted jokes. It was also posted on March 31st, so I think we can discount the April Fools Theory. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-cyber-reddit-idUSKCN0WX2YF

    The Peanuts Movie - It's a Swing and a Miss, Charlie Brown

    I'm surprised at the dog-piling here, I went to see a preview of this movie last night and agree with pretty much every other reviewer out there. It's a very good, charming and well thought out price. The Snoopy bits whilst fun, felt like the tacked on parts and the main film came about around...

    Logitech G310 Review - Mechanical Keys On-The-Go

    I've been looking into getting a mechanical keyboard for a while and thought this could be a good one but then... As a lefty I use my numpad instead of wasd, so it's pretty vital.

    047 - Tipping The Balance

    My bet is four, Strip 1: Gunny wipes a tear off his visor and makes a commentary about love, peace and all that crap. Strip 2: Erin starts to lose grip of the raccoon and 3 panels are dedicated to showing their hands moving further apart. Strip 3: Cory goes on holiday so we get a sketch of...

    8 More Criminally Underrated Games

    Condemned: Criminal Origins I don't believe it. looked around online, figures are hard to come by but not one of the estimates I found is anywhere near as low as half a million.

    New BF4 Patch Adds New Weapons, Modes, Balances

    You know, fair play to them, nice to see a dev with free post-launch material. I hear Nintendo is investing in that approach with Splatoon. Only a few levels to begin with but frequent post-release stuff to keep players playing for longer.

    Massive Chalice Gets Official Release Date

    Ahhh good, hopefully they've actually finished the game as opposed to Spacebase DF9. I no longer see Double Fine as an indie darling, too many screw ups and broken promises.

    8 Games Worthy of a Perfect Review Score

    I never got the love for Okami. Slow, dull, poor handling & camera and waaay too long. Also personally prefered Majora's Mask to Ocarina of Time but I just like a darker tone. This should replace Okami in the list.

    Witcher 3 Dev: Don't Buy From Green Man Gaming

    They probably don't want to tell the public because then CDP would stop selling to these3rd party groups. If I were reselling to GMG I'd ask them not to tell people

    Witcher 3 Dev: Don't Buy From Green Man Gaming

    CDP really need to go back and read their PR handbooks again, they've really come across as asses here. Their mods on the forum are throwing accusations around about a very reputable distributor without any proof.

    Corporate Responsibility Kills Humor

    Yup same here, spent a while wondering how a Mortal Kombat advertisement was the punchline. Maybe it was a joke about how Valve allows any old crap ports onto their system? Anyhoo, just right click on comic and "open image in new tab" (chrome) "View Image" (Firefox) "Arrgle Bargle" (Internet...

    8 Chuck Norris Movies to Watch for the Legend's Birthday

    Yeah, let's celebrate the birthday of a despicably egotistical homophobic arsehole. Well done Escapist for nailing your flag to the 1900's mast here, can't wait to read that review of Earthworm Jim 2 you've been working on. Chuck Norris - Remember kids if you have any doubt about your...
