    Zero Punctuation: Ninja Gaiden 3

    Whoah, that pre video ad is a truly impressive amount of bullshit. Serious dealbreaker.

    Clever Trolls Prank Half-Life 3 Fans

    This. It was awfully well made though, with all the links that linked to the correct steam store page.

    PC LA Noire locked to 30 fps, WTF

    Honestly, the whole game feels clunky and laggy to me in a way the console version didn't. It's a not a deal breaker for PC because it's a slower paced game for the most part and the investigations are so brilliant. I paid 10 bucks for it on steam. If I'd paid much more though I'd have felt a...

    Legend of Grimrock Goes Beta [With a Video!]

    The games this is influenced by predate Doom by a few years. Games like this were the games DnD nerds growing up in the early to mid 80s lived and breathed. You're right though. More choice, more power.

    Legend of Grimrock Goes Beta [With a Video!]

    I've typed this a few times and can't really settle on the way to explain it. It really is chiefly a nostalgia plug. I'm sure people new to this type of game are capable of appreciating it but I bet the that's a small portion of this game's eventual userbase. Games like Wizardry, Eye of the...

    Legend of Grimrock Goes Beta [With a Video!]

    I'm guessing you aren't familiar with the games this is riffing on? This game plays hard on the nostalgia bone. Very hard. I also think it looks awesome.

    OnLive - The future of Gaming

    Agree to disagree, I suppose. We'll both found out for certain one way or the other yea? Either way, I'm along for the ride.

    OnLive - The future of Gaming

    Objectively, services like Onlive probably ARE the future of gaming. But not the near future. Onlive is probably about 20-30 years early to the party.

    Text games

    My favorite is easily a game I can't recall the name of. Helpful right? There was a game competition some years back where people made games based on entries in HP Lovecraft's commonplace book. I think the website that hosts the games is called the Illuminated Lantern and the contest, the...

    Arkham City: Only $25 on Origin for Black Friday. Damn you, EA. EDIT: Origin Required Apparently?

    It's not available in all regions from what I gather. I know I personally have SR3 on steam. So, Arkham City update: I'm done. I'm not fighting them anymore for a refund. I got tired of being told there was no problem here. Fuck them. I'll play the game, but that's the last dollar I ever...
