    New Screens Give Fresh Look at Skyrim's Elves, Orcs and Lizard Folks

    I swear I read somewhere that there are different body builds for every character in the game - like big, medium and small. So maybe there will be a way to make your character look using the big build? I dunno, thought I'd mention it though :)

    THQ Thought of Wii U Controller "18 Months Ago"

    This is kind of what the PSP was supposed to do with the PS3 if any one remembers. I was ready for it to become my inventory and map for Oblivion, or my 2nd player view for some kind of sidekick adventure. Not just the rear-view-mirror on a random formula 1 racing game. They should have taken...

    Industry Vet to Young Devs: You Might Never Be AAA

    I'm not entirely sure if I'm supposed to be offended by that or not... so I'll just explain what I mean by original idea: the most original games are Pacman and Space Invaders, but even they are NOT completely original. A game about things coming from space and something shooting it? That idea's...

    Industry Vet to Young Devs: You Might Never Be AAA

    Ah, true, you're right. I withdraw that part of my comment :)

    Industry Vet to Young Devs: You Might Never Be AAA

    I don't see why Halo is classed as an original AAA title. It was just a first person shooter that was pretty good. The fact that it got popular doesn't mean it was original. There will be plenty of original things to come in the future, as there are original things coming out every day on the...

    Escapist News Network: Inside the Newsroom

    I dunno if you guys read all of these, but I personally loved this style WAY more than the news desk. Don't get me wrong, the news desk is funny but the newsroom feels so much more personal - you're not trying so hard to keep straight faces or get the lines right or whatever, small giggles are...

    Question of the Day, September 6, 2010

    I'd probably say Morrowind. Or the entire Elderscrolls series actually, they had the large environments, complete freedom and so many options to make the freedom worth while. Sure Final Fantasy is a good RPG but... Elderscrolls has taken RPG to a more literal level, you actually play the role...

    Gabe Newell: Three "Big Announcements" From Valve in Next Year

    A new source engine would be amazing - linked up with HL:Ep3 and L4D3 and there are your 3 surprises! The current source engine, even though it is showing it's age very slightly, is still an impressive piece of kit - so Source 2.0 would be incredible with modern software behind it :D

    Gearbox-Made Duke Nukem Forever Confirmed at PAX

    Well this site http://duke.a-13.net/ has a video I've never seen before and to be honest... even if the game looked like this - I would still buy it cos even back then it looked well good! Compare those scenes to Deus Ex and it's astonishing just how much progress they had made back then; to...
