    Sid Meier's Civilization VI Review - Nested Great Works

    One other major pet peeve. Districts are permanent. That may not seem like big deal at first. But then, well into your mid-game, you discover that the only source of aluminum in your entire empire is under that campus you placed centuries ago. So tough luck, no planes for you. Yes, I would...

    Sid Meier's Civilization VI Review - Nested Great Works

    Yes, roads can still go all screwy when they head in multiple directions on adjacent tiles. I'm usually pretty good at keeping my own roads neat, until the AI sends a trader through and starts adding their own wherever. I'm not a fan of the change to trade routes making the roads, but there is...

    Microsoft: People More Satisfied With Xbox 360 Than PS3

    I own both a 360 and a ps3 (as well as an xbox and ps2), and I'd have to say that I prefer the 360. Not by a huge margin, but enough that I would have stayed with the brand into the next generation. Right up to the point where M$ shat in a box and called in a console. No Yusef, satisfaction with...

    Zero Punctuation: The Elder Scrolls Online - We Can MMO Too

    About what I expected to hear about ESO. An Elder Scrolls where I can't faff about or abuse the physics, no thanks. But I'm not sure why Yahtzee would include Defiance in the list of franchises getting ham-handedly forced into the MMO shitstorm. As I understand it, the game and the show were...

    What was your first pc gaming memory?

    All hail the Commodore 64 playin' master race. My elementary school had 2 of these bad boys. I skipped recess ever chance I got to play it.

    Tales of Symphonia Chronicles Review - Work Together for Peace

    I loves me some Tales games. I've been playing them since Tales of Phantasia on the SNES. But I have found that it is usually best to leave the older ones in the gentle arms of nostalgia. Now, when do we get a new one?

    The most fun you ever had in a video game

    Head-to-head drunken Smash Brothers, 100-life "Champion of all Time" title fight, against my best friend. Took nearly an hour. Samus vs Roy. Almost perfectly even fight the whole way. 99 kills apiece, last life for each of us. 150%+ damage to both. My girl Samus - charge shot, into homing...

    What game or series would you love to play again for the first time?

    Lots of possible answers, no doubt. Mass Effect, the Tales series, Monkey Island, Zelda. But if I only get to pick one, it has to be Shadow of the Colossus. I played it with my best friend, when it was new, in a dark basement, and it just blew our minds. The awe and fear at the reveal of each...

    Whisky

    Gentlepeople, I salute your good taste. Personally, I am all about the Highland scotches. I recently got to taste a 31-yr old from the Glenlivet distillery, it was spectacular.

    Total War: Rome II Offers Spielberg-Level Drama

    I love these stories, I really do. I have a few like em. But really, how often were you zoomed in close enough to see the faces of these units you cared about? Give me a way to name the group, or make a custom banner for a veteran unit, or some piece of unique armor I can make for them so they...

    Total War: Rome II Offers Spielberg-Level Drama

    I love the Total War games, and I will absolutely be getting this. But if you had asked me to provide a list of what Rome 2 needed, realistic facial expressions would not have been on there. Don't get me wrong, I love making up stories for my generals, even for specific unit groups that have...

    Poll: You find $40 on the side of the road - What do you do?

    Of course its mine. Money on the ground is fair game. If its a wallet, I'd take the cash out and turn in the wallet to cops/security.

    If you were a supervillain, and right now you can kill your archnemesis

    I was with you 100% right up until Duckmobile.

    Trailers: Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock - Monsters Trailer

    And you lost me at River Song. Worst character ever. I stopped watching because of her, I won't play a Doctor Who game with her in it.

    Mass Effect: Thermal Clips vs Overheating

    I think they should have made some kind of hybrid system. Like the weapons still cooled down on their own, slower than in ME1, but if you really needed to fire right away, you could eject the clip real quick and be back in the fight. And then make fresh clips more scarce in the levels. It really...
