    Why the Wii Fit is Evil

    I'm most amused by the fact that there is apparently a demand for a "Wii Fit FAQ." I can only speculate as to what this would entail. "HOW DOES I PUSH-UP?" is the first that comes to mind. Nauseating. However, as long as we're briefly delving into the land of what the Wii needs to do...

    When Did We Become Obsessed with Multiplayer?

    Multiplayer has never been a fad. Why is it that the console industry only really took off in the early to mid 90's whereas before it was a palpable joke with no required punchline? That's the period where most 2p games first started flooding the market, whereas previously it was thought of as...

    Poll: What are the problems with MMO's and what could we possibly learn inorder to make a better one

    Largest problem with MMORPGS for me is the complete and utter lack of any overarching storyline. Sure, there are individual guild quests and item quests and "please help me scratch my nanny's bum" subquests, but when all is said and done, there really isn't any depth to it. The industry can...

    What films would you like to be turned into games or games turned into films?

    If Silent Hill is to be taken as an example, then they will cut out all of the preexisting storyline and find some way to get a script that the director's second cousin (twice removed) wrote.

    What films would you like to be turned into games or games turned into films?

    NONE. It is an unholy abomination equal to infantile necrophilia in a vast majority of cases. The only good film to game conversions that I can think of have been Hunt for Red October (NES), some of the star wars games, and Goldeneye. The day that Uwe Bowell finally is liberated of his body...

    Half Life 3 wishes

    I had to do a quick reality check on myself as after reading this discussion I thought I was encountering a rare bout with early early early onset Alzheimers, or that I had slipped into a parallel universe where the 3DO360 was reigning king of the console world. I hate to be the first one to...

    Favorite non video game game

    Favorite game of all time has to be Zombies! which is a table-top board game that incorporates elements of classic D & D into, of all things, Sorry. Yes, that little cutesy game with the funny colored pieces and the little tiles. I highly recommend it for a laidback saturday night with...

    What if X was made by Y?

    You know, say what you will about Rockstar, but you've got to hand it to them that they make for an excellent contribution to satire, usually prevalent in the background of the game rather than the underlying theme.

    What happens when you stay up too long?

    Well in HM:Wonderful life, you instantly beat the game and get to see the ending, and by that I mean you have a heart attack and die. In real life however, after the first 30 hours, you cease to become tired and usually become generally irritable and muffled feeling, often accompanied by...

    Your best kill in a game ever!

    As much as it pangs me to say this, I had an incerdibly funny kill run in Counterstrike 1.6 back in the day. We were playing on the player created ice stage clans love so much and I literally ran around corners aiming directly at the sky and popped off a few people without so much as aiming as...

    What if X was made by Y?

    For my first trick, I'm going to theoretically resurrect <font color=green>Clover and finish off by having them make the next Starfox game. I miss the days when a terrible script and questionable voice actors weren't something you ever really had to worry about. For all I care they could even...

    What would you do with a Portal Gun?

    I've got a mate in Seattle that's a bum's rush to get to. I'd much prefer that to flying for nearly half a day, that being the logical answer. In reality? I wouldn't mind creating a quantum singularity out of a few people by making them loop back and forth at an increasing rate.

    Level that makes you just want to break the game disk

    I have the original on PS2 and if it makes you feel any better, it wasn't any easier with a PS2 controller. This is partially due to a stage design error near the end that makes the ladder impossible to climb accept for at a certain angle (the ladder that dips back down and then goes up)...

    Games you keep as your "dark little secret"

    To be completely honest, I'm a little saddened that I see some relatively good games listed in here, Odin sphere being among them. (Really most Nippon Ichi games are rather girly but they're nearly all good as well.) How am I supposed to make fun of someone if they don't mention games like...

    Umbrella Chronicles- 1 Player vs. Co-op

    That wasn't particularly a problem for me but that's probably because I'm an oldschool arcade gamer, so I'm used to bouncing around and having to use heavy controllers. If you've ever seen Ghost Squad in the arcades, I took a group out to try it a few weeks ago and was amazed that some of the...
