DotA 2. I have played it for a week and not gotten bored of it. More than once. XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within, though I did eventually oversaturate on it. As for SP games, I'm a big fan of the Thief series and the 2nd game in particular has eaten a weekend more than once. I doubt there's...

Steam (or Valve rather) does deserve some blame for both the Greenlight system and the mod debacle. The GL system is virtually unmonitored which makes it easy to exploit, and that's no one's fault but Valve's. The paid-mod system, while the idea behind is not bad, was implemented in the wrong...

What's especially interesting about PaperBoy is that it manages to have the moral aspect without shoving it down your throat and without having it be a bland black/white moral choice system. Which is why I like the link to the GTA series. Sure, you have to do some pretty grim stuff to progress...

Lurked for ZP + some of the articles here, subscribed due to http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/editorials/12891-The-Escapist-s-New-Editor-in-Chief

Absolutely, unequivocally, 100% no. What would an organization like that do? What would its purpose be? Why is it required? To police people's morality? Based on what standard, exactly? The "RL-standard"? We should start by having one of those first, then. I don't see what use it has. I...

The world is a poorer place that it was 2 days ago. Nimoy was not only an great artist, but an exceptional human being. He will be sorely missed. I was never much into Trek, but this is one passing that hit me hard. Many people will feel as if they've lost someone they knew. Safe travels...

This proud shitlord approves of this list, albeit Rick Santorum is a bit low. Also the idea of Thunderf00t and Anita Sarkeesian sharing a meal and a discussion makes me wanna pitch the idea to a TV station for a reality show.

This is sad. He did some fine work, even if I disagreed with his analysis regularly. Biggest loss for the Escapist for me.

I'm not really into cosplay, but this is one potential way to spark my interest. Excited that the Escapist and Liana K have decided to brew this project. Will be looking forward to it.

I picked up the 2013-TR game during the recent Steamsale (I've never played a TR-game for more than an hour), but this thread has sparked my interest for the rest of the series. I'll check out the Legend-games. The idea that Lara Croft steals shit and kills people because she's not a...

Frankly I must give the man credit for lasting this long while spewing bile on such a scale. He must have serious negotiation skills and I do not doubt that he'll do perfectly fine from now on.

Gravity Ghost. It's gotten a lot of hype from various reviewers, but manages to live up to it all by being exactly as fluffy as it sells itself as. A nice little surprise. I tried the Heroes 3 HD remake and it was total ass, but it made me get the Heroes 3 series from GOG and replay it a bit...

Well, if you're going to keep remaking things that shouldn't be remade, might as well re-make it beyond copy-pasting shallow character traits and one-liners. This might shoot itself in the foot, but ever since the outstanding new Dredd movie I reserve the right to optimism. It's not like this...

Enemy Within is a must. It polishes a lot of things, esp the balance of lategame missions and squadsight Snipers. The extra mission variety doesn't hurt. The MELD canister is a really welcome addition to abduction/UFO missions once you figure out a balance between tactical speed and just...
