    The last videogame character you played as is trying to kill you

    So I'm being defended by the king of Albion against Rex Power Colt. I don't think I have long left in this world then.

    Poll: Has a game made you cry?

    I can't say that I've cried during a game. There were a few points where I felt emotional during the mass effects and dragon age 2 and had to stop playing but I've never cried during a game. I can't even think of a movie I've cried in. Plenty of media makes me emotional but I can't think of...

    Poll: What Franchises Would Make Good Games?

    I don't really know because it all dpends on who works on them. Lots of games based on something suck because they have no-one from the original to keep it the same. If I had to choose I would say any of the books by chuck Hogan or I guess the TV series braquo but only if they were done right...

    Watch Seven Minutes of Saints Row IV Shenanigans

    This game looks to me like it could be good dumb fun. I think that few games like this are needed to break up the serious or semi serious games to offer us something different and a break. If its good then it will only be good because it is a product of a decade where majority of the games are...

    Have people grown bored with zero puncutaion

    It's not that ZP is getting old so much as we expect it. When I first watched ZP a part of the humour was I was not epexcting where he would go. Also I can't be bothered to checdk every video but the way you worded the line about how the older videos had more comments didn't really mention...

    Poll: The worst offender of "geek" themed entertainment.

    I had an issue with Attack of the show and Xplay because of the comedy they tried to force. I would watch both these shows before I found the Escapist so that I could learn what's new in gaming/ the internet but the comedy bits they tried to force were all awful. They were trying to be topical...

    Poll: What Do You Think Is Currently The Worst Thing In Gaming?

    A lethal combination of 2, 3 and 4 across AAA console games and the handheld market. AAA games suffer from a lack of creativity and more and more seem to be causing suffering with DMR while the handheld games (at least the ones I've played recently) seem to become impossible without spending...

    Poll: Would You Rather? - Superpowers

    I would choose Teleportation purely because it is stealthier. Flying through the air at 100km/h is a great way to ensure mass panic.

    So, you're walking down the street and...

    I would go because I would trust the other me and well lets face it, who hasn't thought about running of to another dimension with a version of themselves. I know I have.

    You're a final boss. What's your fight music?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG4janHITY8&feature=youtu.be Saturday night Palsy by TISM. Then my opponents would know it just got serious. Plus I could do the stereotypical move of blending into a bunch of guys in masks so he wouldn't know which one I was, just like the band in real life...

    Microsoft's Creative Director... Defends "Always On"...

    I cannot understand this. Usually when you release a new version of something the goal is to make it more user friendly. Thats why we've all moved to laptops and the like, to remove all the boundaires. Microsoft installing another thing you have to be connected to seems completely going the...

    Retailers Accidentally Leak Call of Duty: Ghosts

    I knew it was coming but this shit always depresses me in November. All my friends go out and get the game at midnight. They play it all night, show up the next day complaining about how shit it is. Three weeks later they are all talking about how much they love it every single day. On...

    So what ISN'T allowed in video games now?

    as time goes on, the line of what is acceptable is pushed more and more. Every so often a new game or movie tries to push the limits. If it is successful then the next one to push the limits will go even higher and the first one to push no longer seems bad in comparison so more people make...

    Do you swear much?

    I probably swear a bit more than necessary but it is dependant of who i'm with. By my self, wiht my mates or with my brotehr then yeah, I swear but i wouldn't swear in public on a bus or something. Well maybe I would but then I would notice it and try to fix it. My swearing is conditional on who...

    Doctor Who Series 7.9: Hide (SPOILERS)

    I don't usually have a problem with plot holes and want to hit people who point out things like loopers logic doesn't work but this episode just pissed me off. The story was about a time traveler trapped in another dimesion that is infitely slower than ours. Yet when the doctor goes into to it...
