    Poll: Game with most effective use of choice?

    Personally I think Fallout New Vegas had the most effective use of choice. None of your choices, or at least very few, are considered outright evil. Usually you pick a side and work to their best interest or you try to get people to compromise. The story isn't about how one person has vast...

    The faults of DA II

    The idea is that Awakening was designed as an Expansion, but it became so big it could almost be it's own game, Bioware were working on addons/expansions for Origins when they suddenly switched gear and began making a new game, before Witch Hunt came out they began to talk about an...

    The faults of DA II

    The skills/abilities system in DA2 was better than DAO, not as varied sure, but you didn't end up with multiple versions of the same spell cluttering your menus. Who wants Walking Bomb and Virulent Walking Bomb? Virulent should be an upgrade to the original spell. Varric and Aveline were...

    Games you felt were harshly judged...

    Hitman Absolution was unfairly judged in my opinion. a LOT of people write it off completely just because it isn't exactly like Blood Money, which is a real shame. Absolution is a great game. Though I was also infuriated by certain websites claiming it wasn't a 'real' Hitman game and that Blood...

    Biggest douchebag NPC's in gaming?

    The biggest douche bag NPC is Eric Sparrow. He takes every opportuiny possible to screw you over and make you look like a dick infront of Tony Hawk. He 'forgets' to sign you up to the Pro/Am contest in Vancouver, gets you kicked off the team once you finally get Tony's attention and then he...

    Fake plastic instrument games...what the hell happened?

    The reason they failed was because they released multiple $60 games in the same year with minor variations, most of which required you to buy a peripheral, or multiple peripherals in the case of Rock Band. Then they released hundreds of songs for like $2 each. It becae a huge money pit and...

    A Kotaku Article on WiiU's BLOPS II Reviews:

    What? 700 people in the entire world playing one of the most popular games released. It shouldn't matter what cnsole it's released on. There is something wrong when the number of players online, in the entire world, is smaller than the population of a small village. Making excuses isn't going...

    A Kotaku Article on WiiU's BLOPS II Reviews:

    Every store near me has WiiUs stitting in the back because no one is buying them. I've only heard of a handful of cases where the WiiU was sold out, mostly by random forum goers. Even if it was hard to find, that wouldn't explain why the WiiU version of Blops2 had around 700 people online...

    Poll: What sequel do you desire the most?

    We need a new Oddworld game. Not just for my love of the series but for society itself. And the children. Don't you think the children would benefit from having another Oddworld game to play? I do.

    Poll: Do You Miss Old School Shooters?

    The first 2 videos you posted were of exactly what I was talking about and I thought it was clear that I was exaggerating. Of course they're not literally the same, but neither are modern shooters. No need to get so aggitated.

    Poll: Do You Miss Old School Shooters?

    God no. People say "Oh weren't old school shooters reat. They took skill, they were hard, you had to think!" That's really not the case. Old school shooters were horrid for their bullet sponge enemies, weak as shit guns (loud =/= strong), their over reliance on over the top weaponry, and god...

    Favorite Healing Item

    I loves me some mysterious roasted wall chicken. It feels so good when you accidentally bust down part of the wall and suddenly, free dinner.

    Poll: Shooter Weapon types

    I love melee. Don't know why because I'm best with a good single shot rifle. I ran knife only back in CoD 4, before they added the infinite sprint, instant stab, lung attack crap. In my day you had to touch the guy before you could put your knife in him.

    Australian R18/ Censorship

    IFCO banned Manhunt 2. IFCO almost never reviews games so it was really wierd. Manhunt is now allowed and has an IFCO rating of 18. Other than that no games have been banned or cencored in Ireland AFAIK.
