Here's a thought, Yahtzee! Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine Indie retro review: Because stealth game, but also *violin screech* ad-hoc multiplayer! (only you can also play it on console, and either solo, or local multiplayer, so rejoice and cry your pretty bleeding eyes out!)

The problem with Bioshock Infinite is the same problem that comes with all Bioshock games; the "game" part is always the least engaging part. Each Bioshock opens with a memorable, highly cinematic intro sequence, features a few minutes of roaming a non-hostile environment, and then railroads...

The original Thiefs were more 'magical' and 'religious' in focus, and the dark and grim came less from growly scowly dick dastardly characters and vague mystery plagues--and more from zealots torturing unbelievers into a state of living death in some coal mines, and evil hags using ancient glyph...

I'm going to have to agree, I 'will' check it out, if only because the game itself looks really crisp and maybe even entertaining--but the spirit of the game is as of yet missing; and Eidos's team for the project needs to start comparing how the first three Thief games differed from Dishonored...

Quick thought: Rather than 'overcoming fan resistance', why make the 'new' Thief about Garrett to begin with, if you're honestly trying to do something new with an IP whose last installment was /nine/ years ago? Why dredge up fond memories only to hammer them down again? I think the problem...

For the layman, there are basically two 'successful' styles of Castlevania: Classic Castlevanias, Linear sidescrollers that play similar to Megaman, with steeper difficulty and a lives system, but more focus on level design and tightness of gameplay--and "Castletroids", which use an exploratory...

Good horror is like chili. It simmers for awhile--lets you take in the ambiance, asking you to stir it occasionally so you don't get burnt out (usually dropping you a curiosity or a crisis to resolve--a dead wife's message, a missing sister to find)--and then serves you up a delicious treat. Bad...

I'd like to challenge this briefly, even though it's already a blanket statement, and a poorly researched one. I actually have spent enough time trying to get myself aroused off actual pets just to quantify the validity of your concern, to know that for one thing--it's /not/ arousing to me in...

Right, right. Maybe I should write something insightful, since this looks in need of a bump. As someone who willingly identifies as a furry, I have to say it's a mixed bag all around. Exposing yourself to a group of people with peculiarities about them has risks of introducing you to some...

A silenced SMG, akin to the one available in L4D2. Fired off in bursts, sounding like little more than stifled coughs. Perfect for... well, who the fuck needs to silently assassinate zombies, anyway?! What is this, Hitman?

Meh. Not to say I'm not attractive, but in profile, my curved nose and chin make me look like a shark. Be thankful if your issues are simply physique-related. I've got terrible skin allergies that make me run from any kind of clothing with a coarse in-seam. Tight clothes always bite in and...

Common Sense-bearing Objectivist Says Gluing Together Two Uncorrelated Generalities is Stupid.

Right, time for some more serious titles--check out the thirty-some episode Wolf's Rain series, about a pack of wolves surviving the dangers of a dystopian future in the disguise of human beings, and Blood+, a spin-off to "Blood: The Last Vampire", which was a big movie hit. Both have quite a...

Lunchbox + cherry bomb + sensor module + bottlecaps + appropriate Repair skill/Recipe. There's your bottlecap mines.

At level one, your best bet is evasion. Give yourself a sneak of around 35-40, stay at a VERY respectable distance, clinging to a steep hill or something, and just slink on by. A Stealth Boy works wonders. Save the Deathclaw fighting for late, late, late game. A Guns skill of 100, a slasher...
