    Spec Ops: The Line

    Spec Ops: The Line The human mind is pretty annoying thing. It likes to trick you and turn against you, usually at all the wrong moments. It's probably the best-worst thing about the human body. Spec Ops: The Line understands that. It gets you inside the protagonist's, a Captain Walker's...

    Deadlight (XBLA)

    Deadlight Deadlight. It's all in the name. It's dark, gritty and depressing. You follow park ranger Randall Wayne as he searches for his wife, child and friends, all of whom get separated. And when you're a survivor in a zombie apocalypse, the last thing you want to be is alone...

    Sequence

    Matching arrows to music is a game pattern that has been around for many years now. Yet it is also something that has passed me by without interest. The only time I would ever get on a DDR machine is when I'm too drunk to remember it the next morning. I'm happy to say that Sequence has made me...

    What if Saints Row 3, Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, and MW3 (if you're still into that) turn out to be bad?

    If Skyrim turns out to be rubbish I will place it atop a funeral pyre and quietly cry as the flames burn higher

    And you thought planking was stupid.

    TwoTribes Games invented a new thing as well, to promote their new game 'EDGE'. S'called Edging. It involves hanging on to the edge of a surface for as long as possible without falling. Totally safe.

    Is Gaming Dead?

    This. And as for the clones of Minecraft, well, the gaming scene's always been like that. People want easy money. Look past that though and you'll see the indie scene is still alive and kicking. Bastion, for example.

    unknown games that should be mainstream?

    Hah, so many games I can think of. :p Most of Steam's indie library, really. One I would point to is Zeno Clash, solely because it does First Person Hand-To-Hand Combat better than any game I've ever played. Heh, I bought Dark Messiah twice (First for PC and then for Xbox when my PC...

    Best game music.

    My favourite game music keeps changing all the time. Used to be Borderlands music, then Super Meat Boy, and so on. Currently it's really a contest between this: And this: First one's certainly more badass. But I reckon Bastion's gotta win when it comes to my own tastes. Also...

    Cheap Thrills and the Survival Horror Genre

    Survival Horror isn't dead, it's just a bit warped. I didn't find Dead Space scary at all (definitely fun though, not gonna argue with that) becuase Isaac contained an arsenal that could destroy an entire army of the things. Once something can be easily dispatched, it no longer presents a...

    British Media Blames Games For London Riots

    Just found a Tweet from CVG [http://twitter.com/#!/CVG_UK/status/100656012968722432] reading: "The West End final edition of the Evening Standard has all mention of video games removed from its front page." Well well, it seems the plot has thickened!

    Poll: Is incest wrong if it's consensual?

    I don't see anything morally wrong with incestual love. Love is Love no matter what shape it deigns to take. However, the idea of children must be considered. If the couple wants to have children, that is. If they don't, then I fail to see the problem. If they do want to have children and...

    British Media Blames Games For London Riots

    Er, Ladies and Gentlemen. On investigating the matter further I went onto the London Standard's site and checked out an E-Copy. Which you can find Here. [http://standardonline.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/viewer.aspx] The Line under the title actually reads: 'Children as Young as Ten Hunted...

    Why are there so few quality RPGs?

    Shooters are easy to crank out. Flimsy storylines and shallow characters are easy to make. Then you just have to design some semi-interesting weapons and things to shoot and stick it on the shelf. (Yes, I know there are exceptions, please don't bother pointing them out.) RPGs on the other...
