I wouldn't mind multiple overwatch triggering if there was a certain percentage of it happening based on experience. IE a green recruit might still waste their shots into an enemy that's clearly down because of jumping the gun, or a bit of battlefield induced panic. A veteran would be a lot less...

Found the original game jam version http://www.kongregate.com/games/makerart/party-hard I found it funny that the cops will haul away the drunk passed out guy who's found in the same area as the body, or just nightstick some random dancer. Or sometimes just plain run over people out in front...

That looks like a pretty cool game. Basically procedural generated Hitman? Nice captcha. It's an ad. You're not asking me whether I'm a bot, you're asking me to repeat a company slogan back...

And then the mass media would decry it as a murder simulator. Which means it will never get made outside an indie game.

Only entry for Canada is the $0.82 one. http://store.steampowered.com/app/15700/

Wait wait wait. He puts it in his pocket? Does he have threadbare pockets with holes in them? Or is he trying to claim that he nickel is passing through the cloth?

Monkey Island poked fun at Sierra games insta-death when you could walk up to a cliff and it crumbles and you fall off. The game showed you a game over screen, said you had zero points because you were dead. No matter what you clicked on (quit/load), Guybrush flies back up to the top, because he...

That was what NV got so right. It was set in the same relative area as F1/2, but unlike F3, there was an actual change in the landscape. Towns were getting bigger, nations were forming, the land was being reclaimed. Instead of Mad Max, we were transitioning to Wild West. The townsfolk are...

One interesting feature from the IGN article. Less customization for Rookies. Things like customizable hair (head and facial), etc will come after the trooper has been with your organization for a while. So you get Johnny cookie cutter out of the gate (minor variations will be auto-generated)...

I went with my kids (3/6/9), and the theatre was packed with kids, so the marketing worked. However, when 30 minutes went by before the kids even chuckled? I knew this was going to be painful. 3 out of the 5 audience-wide laughs (we're talking chuckles here, not bursts of knee slapping)...

Every other review says it offers far less depth than you might expect for a full Sid Meier's game. However, for a tablet game, and a "lite" PC game (price is 1/4 of a full retail new release), it's not bad for a quick pick up and play. I probably wouldn't have given it 4/5, but 3/5 would be...

Yes, it makes sense in games like that, or in X-Com, where you have a squad or teammates who can carry the "other" weapons you cannot. Co-op Halo was actually fun for that. One person would be the up close bruiser (usually a sword and shotgun, or sword and needler), and the other the...

What always annoyed me was that one of those two weapons could be a pistol. Seriously? A pistol? I can carry a ship-destroying rocket launcher, AND an enormous laser cannon gattling gun, but god forbid I try to pick up a pistol. Then all off a sudden my arms are full? I can't remember what...

They could have written that scene better. I'm guessing the idea was not that she was a super code breaker, but that unlike the others, she knew the decoded message was written in Russian. The codebreaker likely HAD decoded it correctly using the one-time pads in the book they captured, he...

Because like Passion of the Christ, people are treating it based on the IDEA(tm) rather than the substance. As he said, it's no Rambo, it's an ok movie that doesn't say much, but the "right" are talking about it like it is THE army recruiting poster for this generation. Wouldn't be the first...
