Too expensive at the moment and I have a serious problem of not nearly enough room in my home to actually use the VR properly in most games. In short, it is a bit of an abysmal device for people who do not have a lot of room to actually play properly but it is a gimmick that might have some...

The big problem with the 'lay off technology till it improves' is that it won't improve unless people continue to push the limits further to keep refining it. It means we have to keep climbing and attacking the uncanny valley till we reach the other side. Till then, we will just endure the...

Not getting my hopes up here. As someone who has rather large hands, the idea of breaking apart the device to be able to play multiplayer with what looks like micro NES controllers barely bigger than if I held a 3DS XL sideways really does not make me too happy. The screen size also leaves...

One of the best ever is the original Homeworld manual. You learn so very much about the world, history, and culture of the exiles. It made the game so very much more of a punch to know so much about the place when the events played out.

There were more aspects to the game than just the dungeons and raiding. One of the things that I miss most from the early days of Vanilla and BC was honestly crafting. It is what kept me playing, knowing I had a skill that was actually interesting and it required me a good deal of work to...

The game just was not really that much fun if you were not trying to create something specific. The tribal stage was just terrible, the social dancing game if you were trying to not be hostile was a sad, joke. Trying to cloth your abominations you made in earlier stages of the game just made...

Wow... over a 99.984% accuracy rate for a digital system? Most corporations and automated systems would be ecstatic over such high standards and results yet there are still people who complain that the system's rate of success is not a 99.9999% or some other unreasonably high standard. Of...

Westerns are sadly kind of a harsh genre to do. Many people already have touched upon some of the key reasons you are not going to see a lot of good western games. It is a bit of a sour spot for some people. WWII, WWI, modern warfare games... there may be a lot of mud to sling around...

Local co-op died (and should stay dead) because of the fact that even with large screen TVs means having to have both players functioning on the same screen... meaning that instead of the camera and thus the entire screen focused on a single player, you have to either split the screen (reducing...

Cutscenes don't need beta testing and Blizz sure seems to love 'closed beta testing' where only media personalities who are going to stream a bunch are the only ones testing their products. Meh, I can't really complain. Would have been exciting a couple of years ago but not so much now...

Well, it does kind of make sense... You have Settlers of Catan, Catan Seafarers, Catan Cities and Knights, Catan Traders and Barbarians, Catan Explorers and Pirates... so it really just is bringing the base game in line with the naming convention of the later expansions so it has a unified...

You know, maybe Gearbox should try reaching out to the Modding community. Sure, the original source code is gone but if there is any group of people who understand the inside and out of how to retexture a model, rework the rules, and the inner workings of how things are working with a 10+ year...

Not surprised at all to hear this. They really do not have a track record for fixing or seriously adjusting games after a release. Oh well, looks like yet another game where ultimately where there is going to have to set down a series house rules that will change depending on which group of...

I would be more caring if it was actually the creators themselves arguing for these court settlements and not their children, grand children, nieces, and nephews. My care about someone's creative rights and their estates tends to rapidly turn into vapor at about the point that they are dead...

While the inclusion of the nuclear Enterprise is all well and good, the fact that the original (CV-6) was not more prominently detailed instead of just a minor blurb in CVN-65's entry. Your choice of Dreadnaught was most fitting as it changed the face of naval warfare in the early years of...
