    Escape to the Movies: Gravity

    Nope. Not gonna bother. Certainly not in 3D, and most certainly not in IMAX. Don't like Clooney (and BTW, was the bit where Bob told us Bullock spends most of the time with only herself to talk to a spoiler that he dies? Or did we know he dies anyway?), didn't like that one Potter movie really...

    Poll: Is Microsoft out?

    Have Sony actually come out and said their machine WILL support backwards compatibility and used games? Hell, have they even SHOWN us the console? I don't particularly like this new Xbox, and I really hate Kinect, and 500GB (minus all that space for three OS', all those apps, etc) is NOT enough...

    Poll: Would you like to play a video game set in your hometown/city?

    If you play San Andreas without using firearms, it would closely resemble my hometown. I think. I haven't really played it. There's lots of drug using, prostitution, gang violence, yes? Often occurring outside fast food outlets? If any game were set in the town hamlet I lived when I was 3-13...

    Where the hell is guild wars 2?

    Erm, £50. Yes, I do keep putting the £, as I do in fact mean POUNDS. £50=$80US. If $60 is "high but reasonable", what is $80?

    Where the hell is guild wars 2?

    That, frankly, is bullshit. I worked in video game retail for seven years, until last year, and PC titles generally sold for £29.99 or less, compared to £39.99 for console.

    Where the hell is guild wars 2?

    Isn't the no sub fee supposed to be a GOOD thing? I mean, if the last few years of marketing had been "Hey, OUR game has no sub fee, so costs £20 more!", I think sales may have suffered. Likewise if they had said, "We noticed that pricing varies wildly across all territories, so to address...

    Where the hell is guild wars 2?

    Yeah, I got an email a few minutes ago to say it was now available. But it costs £49.99! At that price, forget it. That's more than any full price console game, and almost double the usual price for a PC title.

    Poll: Sleeping Dogs or Dragon's Dogma

    This is a little bit annoying, but never have I had it be fatal to my character! At worst, it injures him a little. At best? Simply press A again, and Wei will do a combat roll when he hits the floor and suffer no damage. AAAnnnd now I'm sad again that my PS3 died and I have to wait 1.5-2 weeks...

    Is the Mass Effect 3 Ending DLC actually coming out?

    Eh, personally I probably won't bother with it. Probably wouldn't have done so anyway. I'm still happy with the ending. But then, I went into it knowing that the trilogy (not the franchise) was coming to an end. I still think the people bitching were doing so mostly because, "Waaaah, I don't get...

    So let's play a little game with Metacritic

    Well, I started doing this, but gave up after typing in 5 or 6 games, and having to remember what games I had purchased and what the highest/lowest score was. Is there supposed to be an easier way, or do most of you already have a database of all the games you have ever bought?

    The Baldur's Gate Countdown Begins!

    I'm really excited by this, but I have never ever completed either of the BG games or their expansions. I own (somewhere) a set with both and the expansions on DVD, rather than the original 6-10CD's, but one of the discs didn't actually work. I have played the first one for several hours...

    Why I am not going to buy Mass Effect 3

    @antidonkey, it's not half the game, but it is a (presumably) extremely important character, in terms of the story, that only people willing to shell out extra money have access to. Doing that sort of thing after 6 months, when people have already completed the game, and simply want more of...

    The christmas animation is just obnoxious

    That's what I saw with adblocker on. Subtle?

    The christmas animation is just obnoxious

    A setting I wouldn't/couldn't have seen, since the snow was the ONLY thing on my screen when I first loaded the site. It was only after I turned the adblocker off that I even saw the new terms.

    The christmas animation is just obnoxious

    Yes, performance issues. Lots of people have had them. The fact you haven't doesn't mean they don't exist. Maybe your terrible internet service means you don't know the difference between good and bad performance? I can accept that they need advertising revenue, but classing it as illegal or...
