    208: Pirates of the Frozen Wastes

    It's unbelievable, even in the U.S. the using of the civil courts to impose outrageous punitive measures instead of just awarding damages is considered unconstitutional. Why should Canadians want to go there? And even though Obama is a professor of constitutional law I don't see the situation...

    Zero Punctuation: Velvet Assassin

    WTF!! I've become another of those poor bastards that can't seem to get a fucking Escapist video to show. Fucking great!!!

    Zero Punctuation: Resident Evil 5

    I have to kind of disagree with Yarz on this one. I'm play the game atm and it's pretty good fun. Graphically it looks superb. Managing the girl is part of the game dynamics- take the pistol away from her and she quite happily hands over the ammo for it. She's been quite useful I've found- she...

    Zero Punctuation: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

    Onya mate. But, don't forget, he was born a whinging Pommy bastard!!! :P So he not exactly dinky-di. Explains a lot.. I mean... How can you tell if a British Airways jet has arrived? Answer: The plane keeps on whining after they turn the engines off! Chupter later? Maybe I'll seeya on...

    Zero Punctuation: Siren Blood Curse

    Yes, well put Kanashe (and BlueInk ,as per), just what I was thinking. On another note... just who is that dude who's headshot keeps appearing in all his reviews lately? Is that someone in particular?

    Excellent article and posts- let's hope The Escapist manages to weather the storms.

    198: The Gloom Box

    Bloody excellent article, thanks for bring that information to my attention. The comments pro, con and elaborative have been excellent too. I personally would NOT be surprised if excessive passive TV watching for children might lead to increased depression later in life. And not just because...

    198: And the Winner Is ...

    Clear as a bell, you said everything I wanted to say in fact... now enjoy your meal. :D Haha, right. Bioshock actually won an award from the AFI (Australia Film Institute) last year (or was it the year before?). So his head is up his bum, fo sho. Many games have stories much better than many...

    Double ditto.

    Zero Punctuation: Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.

    Good question, as H.A.W.X. has got more attention because of the Tom Clancy label. HAWX does not compare to AC6 but it's not bad at all. The off-assist mode is an intriguing aspect. Also the controls are proper pitch, roll and yaw, which is a relief, as "novice" controls like those in Crimson...

    The First Time You Had Your Mind Blown...

    Totally, have to agree with Fight Club- I am John's busted sleen. I was very quite after coming out of that film. Entering the street after seeing The Matix was VERY bizzare. Why? because I lived in Sydney at the time, and some of it was filmed in that street! (Pitt St.) I felt very unreal-...

    Poll: What do you think of the Pope?

    WTF??? JohnPaul II's mob was running about Africa suggesting condoms gave you AIDS too. Plus he colluded in the poisoning of the first JohnPaul because he was too radical.

    Zero Punctuation: Halo Wars

    Noon where? Noon GMT? Noon EST (Eastern Standard Time Australia)? LOL So the world IS flat, not banana shaped. haha.

    Zero Punctuation: Prince of Persia

    I've never played 'The Witcher'. But if it's set in Poland then I would be fine with Polish accents. You don't get it... there IS no such thing as "unaccented". On a deeper level there are three kinds of recognised accents in a region in general- "Colloquial", "Common" and "Refined".

    196: Achieving Azeroth

    The Achievement system introduced in WoW was a great idea. But to compare it to the 360's system negativity was boorish. Many of the Achievements in a 360 game help extend it's life, adding a kind of mini-game aspect, e.g. get through a certain level in Orange Box using only the gravity gun...
