http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4963739/Diablo%C2%AE_III_Open_Beta_Weekend-4_19_2012 Like many of you, I was not among the chosen few to receive a Diablo III beta key. Nevertheless, I held out hope that by some miracle I would get access to the beta and play the game for myself...

I get the feeling this is the kind of game Sander Cohen would make if he were real. Say what you want about Rapture, in a place without any concept of political correctness, the video games would certainly be interesting.

I was waiting for the part where Alan got his hand cut off and replaced it with a chainsaw. Oh well, I'll just have to wait until next time for Alan Wake: Army of Darkness.

I'm not sure how set you are on the rules, but I have a few ideas you can play around with. Since part of your hook is how little things can have huge effects on an outcome, I think it would be pretty fun to base the game mechanics around that. Basically, players take turns altering some part...

I came hoping for a Doctor Who thread, but this works too. The premise is certainly interesting in theory, but I don't see any way it could be played out in practice. The first and most obvious question is why either party would bother with anything other than trying to kill the other one's...

The ".5 edition" is part of the formula by now. I would be more surprised if there wasn't a Pokemon Grey. What has me intrigued is the next announced Pokemon game: http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/17/new-pokemon-game-is-a-nobunagas-ambition-crossover-really/ I never saw this coming. I still...

From the perspective of somebody who has actually bought and made it about halfway through the game... The real hook behind Catherine's story is that it was designed for MATURE audiences. Not Mortal Kombat/Call of Duty mature, but grown-up, paying your own bills, balancing your checkbook...

Anybody else getting a Crimson Viper vibe right about now? I know I am.

Zombies are slow, while infected are fast. That, in my opinion, is how the undead should be categorized.

Gurren Lagann. Duke and Kamina would be best friends. It's also the manliest thing ever. Right next to a bacon AK-47 with tits that's on fire.

Wait a minute, there's a war going on in four different countries at the same time? How big is Russia's army that they can fight in four places at once? I couldn't care less about the game's nonexistent objectionable content; the story is way out of hand.

I think the scientists should be more concerned with sports increasing aggression. Hell, in football you're encouraged to be violent towards the other team, but you don't see parents up in arms over that. It's a double-standard.

Dear God, it's that topsy-turvy room in the Forest Temple all over again.

I swear to god, if Uwe Boll gets anywhere near these movies...

I pre-ordered Alone in the Dark for Wii. That was a mistake. For some reason, I genuinely thought it would be good game. I mean, the first one was great... Yeah... it was shit.
