    Assassin's Creed Doesn't Have Much of a Story, Does It?

    The problem with these games that we've kept falling for is that developers give the impression that they've got a story arc planned out for a trilogy. Assassins Creed, Mass Effect and the Half Life 2 episodes were all promoted as if they were intended to be trilogies which gave everyone the...

    Ellen Page Nudity in Beyond: Two Souls Triggers Aggressive Sony Response

    I remember hearing they they did this with Madison in Heavy Rain they may have done it with Ethan as well. Of course when you're doing it with a character modeled on a real actress it becomes fucking creepy. I wonder if David Cage keeps the nude renders in his home.

    Zero Punctuation: Resistance 3

    Why are people acting like it's odd Yahtzee actually liked the game. He liked Driver: San Francisco even more last week, are your memories that short? It's not that rare that he actually quite likes a game.

    To all the British Escapists

    Has anyone who's posted in this thread read any of the previous posts? Almost all of you are saying the exact same thing in slightly different words.

    Zero Punctuation: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

    Goldeneye has held up very well if you don't mind a controller that gives you arthritis.

    Valve Says "Hang In There" For Half-Life 2: Episode 3

    I hate the idea that people who complain about the length of time it's taking are whiny entitled fanboys. It was 6 years between half life 1 and 2 and that was a full game with an engine that had come on quite a way. Episode 1 was essentially a levels mission using the same engine, Episode 2...

    Zero Punctuation: Mafia II

    Strong episode this week. Though I do wonder if you lifted the pretty cars and fast women joke from "A bit of fry & laurie"

    Don't Use the Word "Gamer"

    So why should anybody else have to explain why they don't like her, if you don't feel the need to explain why you do? Nobody's shoving your face in it, "flaky bint" was just a throwaway comment that was intended to be humorous and it's made all the funnier because of people who react in the...

    Don't Use the Word "Gamer"

    Christ get over yourself Sir John. Does it really bother you so much that people don't share your opinion of a fictional character. I love FFVII, but are you really that sensitive to any criticism of her. How about quoting lines of her lines of dialogue and explaining why you think they're so...

    Don't Use the Word "Gamer"

    I hope this doesn't make me one of these people, but I thought it was Aeris in the European version and Aerith in the American version. But I've no idea why this happened, if indeed it is what happened. Right I'm off to drink beer, play sports and have sex with women.

    Shadow of Memories

    It was a very interesting game and In a way Did Indigo Prophecy/Heavy Rain first but without being plauged with QTE's. It's quite dated now but It was a very interesting game at the time, it also had an excellent bonus section once you'd got all the endings, it played with the time mechanic...

    What makes bioshock 2 worse than the first one?

    Bioshock 2 doesn't have as good a story, but it structure's it's story a lot better. The first one has a twist a little after the halfway point and then it starts to fall apart. Fontaine doesn't make for such a great villain, he's far too pantomine and cartoonishly evil. Sofia Lamb isn't as good...

    Zero Punctuation: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

    You didn't pay much attention then, he said it wasn't bad and that's it's how a reboot of a series should be done, and praised the story. The review pretty much echoed my own thoughts, They took the basic premise of Silent Hill and did their own thing with it, and tried out a few experimental...
