    Remove one game from existence

    Dead Island. It felt awful, was balanced awful, had crap voice acting, story (or utter lack thereof), didn't offer the experience depicted in the trailer and overall was pretty crap. And it had no demo, so going purely on the awesome trailer and enthusiastic friends I burned £40 on it I could...

    Poll: Your Pet is Drowning, and so is a Stranger.

    I really don't like my dog, so it's a no brainer. And he's a Cocker Spaniel, so he has webbed feet. If he can't be bothered to doggy paddle with natural flippers then damn him to Davy Jones locker.

    BioWare Defends DLC Business Strategy

    I think as far as the multiplayer goes, ignoring the online pass requirement (because I bought ME3 day 1, no hesitation) the model for the micro transactions is great. More maps for free. Play on those maps and earn credits for more powers, characters and weapons or burn cash throwing it to EA...

    Aliens/ancient astronauts : do you believe in them?

    Could have made for a great film. Just not *that* film. Beside amount of accomplishments that sheer mass of collaborative effort has achieved in the past 100 years alone, the pyramids do not seem that outlandish. Back then they had fascist leaders backed by religious dogma and slavery - these...

    Just Nut Up And Do It

    Slightly makes sense for those two examples since Forsworn and Raiders are crazy, animal drug addicts who do little else than rut and kill each other, with little in the way of self preservation. Strange that Forsworn and Raider Armour is statistically similar to full leather equivalents. Hell...

    Poll: Is treating women in Gentlemanly way Sexist?

    Treating women differently is sexism, even if it is benign. Just as giving a black guy the job not for his qualifications but because you need to make the numbers look better is racial discrimination. For this being a gentleman though, we're not machines. We all have preferences and biases...

    Games you got 100% in?

    Gamerscore wise, AC2, Fallout3, ME1 (Pinacle station does not count, free for PC but not xbox? STFU!) ME2 (All DLC), COD:MW1 (Really liked it. Played it for the first time a few months ago.) Before that - Pokémon Diamond, GTA:LCS,VCS,San Andreas and (in my books, missing a fraction of a...

    "Virgin shaming": I know we have a lot of "but what about men's problems?" people out there.

    Took a gut wrenching crush before I learned to love my tooth brush a few years back. Now the thought of being attractive to women is the main factor in making me go to the gym.

    Skyrim=Boring?

    Anyone who says Skyrim has poor voice acting... did you play Oblivion? Like 4 obnoxiously omnipresent voice actors, with the exception of Stamp/Stewart/that guy who did LaChance/ect. I think the figure Todd Howard gave in the Collector's Edition DVD documentary was around 70 VAs for 110+...

    Jessica Chobot and Mass Effect 3

    For the haters, there may be a renegade option involved. Just saying...

    New Dead Island DLC Shambles Forth

    Game certainly wasn't polished enough to be worth the £40 on release. For some reason it was sold out in the UK when I tried to get it, had to get it online pre-owned. Also sold it on, which I never do. Happily not supporting Techland. I hope they don't pull too many suckers in with this new...

    I can't help but feel that Assassin's Creed is slowly dying on the inside.

    Possible spoilers. AC1, I kind of enjoyed, kind of grued at. AC2 was just fantastic. Magnificently structured in pacing, character development, story and the gameplay tweaks over AC1 were amazing. Brotherhood felt like a 2.5 to me. Really rather pointless for the most part, though it had a...

    Mark Wahlberg Admits His Apes Film Sucked

    Ironically enough, the apparently screwed up ending in the Tim Burton one is the one in La Planète des singes. Really good book, and not too long. Pierre Boulle disproved of the Statue of Liberty ending, I can't recall the article where I read that, however..

    Poll: If you had the choice to be a vampire....

    So long as I could go on animals or just take a pint or so out of my victim and leave them slightly woozie, I'd be game. Centuries to study whatever I want, all I'd need would be a closed off area under the ground or a house with a basement exit and I could stay up 24/7 and learn everything I...

    WTF Humble Bundle?! "Indie" my ass.

    EA's logo was on "Henry Hatsworth's Puzzling Adventure", a DELIGHTFUL mario clone meets puzzle-platformer that screamed indie. Your argument is a knee-jerk one..
