    245: Steam: A Monopoly In the Making

    What exactly would you expect Valve to do? Undercut their business, which is already a far smaller portion of the overall market than any retail chain, in the idea of some vague future where digital distro is the norm? That's just stupid. If Valve limits themselves now just so Stardock and IGN...

    Gigantor tries his best to review Psychonauts, but suffers the usual distractions...

    I enjoyed the fuck out of Psychonaut's gameplay, and I played it with keyboard and mouse. Also, I daresay that FPS's with recharging shields and only two weapons are only at most half and half to the GOOD kind, at most.

    Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    If Bill Murray was an actual unlockable character, I'd buy a Wii and a copy.

    Yahtzee Visits Valve, a Travelogue

    Hey hey hey. Farenheit/Indigo Prophecy's button pressing gameplay worked very well. It's a shame the last third of the game was utter shit, but up to that point it was a masterpiece. Interactive thrusting during a sex scene was the best use of QTE gameplay ever.

    You know what's a great JRPG without turn-based combat? Star Ocean 2nd Story. If you can survive the extremely chatty hour-long intro chapter (It's not all talk, it involves you wandering around a town at one point and you kill maybe three bad guys including a rapist and a giant mutant ape...

    117: Best Little Emulator Ever Made!

    And along came ePSXe... Of course, emulation also had the effect of increasing next gen console complexity and possibly costs, as the PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, and all that followed were intensely designed to be unemulatable by their creators. The current big name PS2 emulator can play maybe a third...

    I do not like Western games at all (please read)

    Mickey Mania was a fantastic game. Also: Sounds like what you need is a serious dose of ADVENTURE GAMES! Yes, the adventure game genre is chock full genius western products that are lacking all three (or at least two) of those R's you're so troubled by. Sanitarium, Gabriel Knight, most...
