Going to jump at this and say that's most of The Escapist ruled out? Though I might take a swing at the old crone voice =)

It depends on the reasoning. If you're going to attack me because I'm a girl, then that's pretty fucked up, and not to sensationalise, but I'd have to wonder about what the motivation is, or what it's a substitute for. If I've pissed you off in game or through cocky voice chat? Bring it on.

Bolt-action sniper rifles are my favourite for just that reason. The 'I'm wrecking your joint like it's nothing' factor kills a game for me, ever since Resi 2 and the infini-rocket lanucher. There was just no point playing any more, I was an unhappy lass that day as my lack of self control...

Granted, but you've already done it and now you're stood as nature made you in the middle of a corn field with an angry farmer pointing a gun at you, and no idea how you got there. I wish for a 'destroy everything' button.

Doesn't bother me, but the first time I played Gears of War I did get a chuckle from being a well-armed walking bus!

This could work really well as a Flash game, it's perfectly quirky and sounds really interesting! OT: Time Crisis: The president of Earth has just decided that time is useless, and has ordered all clocks destroyed. As the world falls into chaos, you and a ragtag group must defend the last...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-22197797 Forgive the formatting - posting on mobile, but the link should take you to the latest revelation about Disney's efforts with the much-loved Star Wars franchise, and it looks like we're all set for a yearly churning of new films, which, as we've...

Yep, you're spot on here. I played that 'game' for a good while, I liked the animations and it was good for a few laughs, but I can not believe that as you rightly said, the larger donut packs run up in the hundreds of pounds/dollars. I would be significantly more inclined to invest a little...

Typo :) /pedantry It's always nice to have someone high-profile talking about gaming and not calling it the great Satan. I'm not a particular fan of his, but his sentiment is very welcome!

ARGH! Maddening! I detest games that don't realise what a pain this is. If you're going to have areas that will be shut off, give us a clue - especially where the path forks, otherwise you end up feeling like you're taking a 50/50 chance on missing something great or crucial, and feel like you...

Any game that forces only one save slot takes a VERY big risk. If Fallout 3 had only one save slot, the amount of game-killing bugs which force tracking back to earlier saves would have stopped me dead on the game. That said, I absolutely don't mind backtracking to manipulate an outcome...

You quoted the WHOLE article to make one comment? Mercy! ;) OT: I remember an article a long time ago with Hideo where he discussed the idea (around the time of MGS3) of having a living, breathing environment, where grass grew in real-time, and shooting a soldier in the leg would result in...

Um, okay, I think I'm reading this differently (or maybe just optimistically), but that to me sounds like it means it'll be online while switched off. Not necessarily forced to be online. That bit about 'no waiting' etc, having a forced connection wouldn't affect that.. But the xbox being able...

Whoa whoa whoa back up there sunshine.. When did I even come close to calling it bad? I said it left me feeling deflated and I felt like it shot the pacing to hell because it stopped me dead, but I still enjoyed the parts that weren't boss fights. In terms of the camera, how do I do the lock...
