    Black Ops 2 Is Like A Rich Jerk

    Only a few points. Firstly, well done article. I don't understand all the people who want him to review multi-player. Has it changed in any way from CoD4? My brother and I have played all the games since CoD4 and he really enjoys them never touched single-player but they only reason we...

    CD Projekt Admits Writing Letters to Pirates Doesn't Help

    This is just sad. CD Projekt was absolutely right, they just need to change their approach. In the letter they just need to write that we believe you have stolen our game. Ask them for a reasonable amount "Value of game" or then they can ask for more. If you are worried about this they just...

    The China Syndrome

    I live and teach in China, and this was an interesting article. Someone brought up the Fallout franchise. As far as I can tell the one that was pirated and put out in China, (Because people here don't pay money for RPGs only micro-transactions) still shows China as the main enemy. Many of my...

    Unskippable: Atelier Meruru, Part Three

    Honestly I don't think there is anything I dead more than seeing more of this game... please do more. It's almost like someone let his daughter direct the cut-scenes on a bring your daughter to work day.

    XCom: Enemy Unknown Demo Hits Steam

    I was also really underwhelmed by the demo. I have pre-ordered and I will not change that I can tell it will be something I like. I can't find the time to play the old game anymore because a mission can take sooooooooooo long at later stages. This breaks it down into more manageable bites...

    Escapist Expo: How To Review Games

    One question that wasn't asked but I really wanted to know was, "How does pricing affect a review?" People asked a little bit about production history, but movie tickets are all the same price, but games have such huge ranges in price. Does a game like Limbo get reviewed differently than Silent...

    League of Legends Topples World of Warcraft as Most Played PC Game

    too bad DotA is not counted in here, because I know that must be up there also. I would like to know if this company counted DotA. because in China alone there would be more than this amount.

    Do you play golf?

    I play all the time used to work on a course. Prolly play like 2-3 rounds a week when I am in the U.S. It's my favorite sport because it's really always a competition against yourself. To mentally overcome one bad shot, know your limits and work around what the course puts in front of you...

    EA Decries Steam Sales: "They Cheapen Intellectual Property"

    The sales are just such a good way to get me to spit out $60 Dollars. When a game comes out for $30+ I won't buy it unless I know the name. However when I see a game at 75% then I just can't pass it up and will buy it if it has like at least 70+ on metacritic. That's how I just bought the...

    Poll: ME3 aside, have you gone back and played any ME?

    Wow this poll likes different than I thought. If you add up all the yes votes it is more than the no votes. Although very close to even.

    Poll: ME3 aside, have you gone back and played any ME?

    Yeah this is maybe how I feel too. The series is sorta over so I don't want to play it again. Really not sure what's keeping me from it. I loved the new combat gameplay and great characters. The only thing I hated was the fetch quests but they gave me something to do I guess.

    Poll: ME3 aside, have you gone back and played any ME?

    I'm sorry about the ending, but this isn't about that so that's rule number one. I just want to know I saw a lot of people saying they will never go back to play the other two game. I at the time disagreed with those people. I thought 2 was addicting and 1 was epic. I even thought 3 was...

    Comparing Diablo 3 to Torchlight.

    For me comparing the two (I assume we have switched to TL2) is just about what has the bigger community. The always on DRM is both nice in what is offers and terrible in it's reach. However you can't have everything you like anyway. Although I must say that besides the first day it has become...

    Revenge of the Metacritics: Diablo III Getting Review-Bombed

    The problem is here is that Diablo III delivered on all it's promises. They have been up front about everything. The skills might be the wrong way. In fact I am going to say I do not like the new system yet, but if blizzard is known for anything it's about patching until something is nailed...

    Revenge of the Metacritics: Diablo III Getting Review-Bombed

    I had to make an account there just to talk about this. It's not that gamers are entitled, it's that they are stupid. Let's break this down point by point. 1. This is not some Casey Hudson bulls**t where they lie to us the whole time and then whoops cupcakes. The always online was well...
