    The Big Picture: Combat Evolved?

    That's all fine and dandy you politely disagree with the guy blabla... BUT(!), like MovieBob said, what the fudge was your point with the mario franchise?? Was it a poor attempt at a hurtful poke? Is it because Mario = Mussolini just because he's Italian? Or did you just throw a random...

    Poll: Bioshock Infinite Gameplay trailer contains WEIRD STUFF - discussion :

    Wow, even though I've beaten Bioshock, I didn't notice any weird stuff like that. For me, the best way they could integrate the 'virtual world twist' would be (brace yourself) if at the end of it all, it is revealed to the player that Shodan, the evil supercomputer from System Shock, is...

    Poll: Bioshock Infinite Gameplay trailer contains WEIRD STUFF - discussion :

    Crap, the poll thing is broken. I really don't know WHAT to think ; the visual anomalies are there, apparently random stuff changing in real-time. Maybe this kind of discussion is EXACTLY what the devs were hoping for, and I just sprang the proverbial vira-trap. Maaaaaaaaybe there is...

    Poll: Bioshock Infinite Gameplay trailer contains WEIRD STUFF - discussion :

    Having watched the 10 minute gameplay trailer several times, I have pierced the secret of Bioshock Infinite's city, Columbia. It's a matrix-like virtual world. The girl is somehow very special, a chosen one, like Neo - defying the world's rules - and being very good at it, thus treated as a...

    Escape to the Movies: Inglourious Basterds

    Inglourious Basterds is written like this on purpose (he kinda explains it on Letterman ; google it). I saw the movie yesterday and it really deserves all the praise it can get. Like moviebob said, I went into the theater only having seen the teaser, not the final theatrical trailer (which...

    Zero Punctuation: Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.

    Aah I've been looking for someone that comments on the spoilers !! I didn't have soylent green and crying game, somebody said there was a gears of war reference in there, I thought it was maybe 'girl has a penis'. Great review, HAWX looks promising, HAWX 2 will surely be awesome.

    Siren Blood Curse better than Silent Hill ? A brief comparison :

    Thank you very much! I was waiting for a while for some feedback on how I compared the two games. Siren Blood Curse is exclusive to the Playstation 3 (wich is actually 'sort of' a remake of the first one) and it's available on the playstation network, the first two installments are available...

    Review: Flower

    I absolutely loved it. Strangely enough, my girlfriend didn't. She said it was boring and pointless...aaah, simple minded little thing, but I love her. I guess you've got to have a certain gaming background, so you can see what flower trully is : something new in videogames, something few...

    Siren Blood Curse better than Silent Hill ? A brief comparison :

    It's been a while since I posted, but since the game is coming out on Blu-Ray, I decided posting a final post, hoping this will bump the thread a bit :). Soooo I've beaten Siren BC a couple of months ago (Spoilers-FREE). The ending feels a bit tacked-on. I also believe it really needed...

    Zero Punctuation: Soul Calibur IV

    I don't feel like reading all 10 pages in this thread in order to see if anyone else noticed this, but CALIBUR is actually spelled RIGHT (as far as the celtic origin of the word and visibly the developper's use of it ; i'll explain later) Why CalibER anyway? Maybe CALIBRE, but...

    Siren Blood Curse better than Silent Hill ? A brief comparison :

    You're right and I agree with you when you say that Siren is a bit too japan-centered, but in my opinion, that was true for the first 2 games, not this one, simply because the main characters are american. This means that westerners can identify themselves more easily to at least one of the...

    Siren Blood Curse better than Silent Hill ? A brief comparison :

    I would like to start by saying that I'm a Silent Hill fanboy, finished all of them except the one on psp and my favorite, and one of the best games ever, is Silent Hill 2. And then I played Siren Blood Curse. The demo on PSN really didn't impress me ; mediocre graphics for a...
