I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm down on Drone warfare because it encourages governments to reach for violent solutions that bit faster if they don't have to worry about losing their own soldiers. The less skin you have in the game, the more willing you are to play.

You mean like the castle full of mace--wielding robed monks that took the second story beat in RE4? You know, the other game that actually featured the same bioweapon?

There was already a pretty good Hitman film - it was called The Mechanic.

Didn't the TGS gameplay demo already cover why she dresses like that?

Because Ben Affleck is noted for his heterosexual dude appeal, of course. Seriously, a steadily increasing majority of main characters - particularly third-person characters, who are on thus always on screen - are conventionally attractive males, and that's to capture the *male* gaze? Suuuure...

That would make me the grandson of RIGGNAROK! (I still love Brutal Legend, bus the haters!)

I'm a big Culture fan, so the more impressive ship would have to be named "So THAT'S where all the gravitas went!" But more seriously, the Zarathustra and the Per Aspera.

Have you played either of the first two CoJ games? They're actually very well-written meditations on the self-destructive nature of greed, revenge, and violence. If there was ever a series that would work responsibly with the cartel issue, it'd be CoJ.

...The Ice Titan. We may have a spot of difficulty fitting into bars.

How has this topic gone so long without System Shock 2? I still get a little shiver every time I hear "Look at you, hacker..."
