Not exactly on topic, and kind of nitpicky, but people don't listen to LPs because of the pops, hisses and scratches (not most of them anyway). They mostly do it because LPs often have a different mix than CD and digital versions with a higher dynamic range (the quieter sounds are quieter, the...

The thing is, GTA games are loaded with bad design. Rockstar are peerless when it comes to developing worlds (modern urban landscapes anyway), but completely clueless when it comes to developing gameplay. Every mission is still "do this mission in the exact way we have envisioned it being...

Less so than you might think. I'm sure if you ran a poll of "which would you rather be in front of your mom: grossed out, or sexually aroused?" the vast majority would choose grossed out. Nobody wants their mom to see them with a boner. I think a lot of people here are missing the point and...

I have to say that I don't agree with Jim's analysis of the Xbox being a failure because it isn't what Microsoft said it would be. Microsoft said that it would be an all-in-one entertainment hub, and that's exactly what it is. My Xbox One gets more use than any other system I've ever owned...

Way to bite the hand that feeds there Mr. Blow. While pulling stuff out of your ass, no less. XBLA has Limbo, P.B. Winterbottom, Braid, Castle Crashers, and dozens more high quality independent games. Not to mention the entire friggin' Indie Channel. The PSN has some great exclusives as...

I would like to address a question to people who loved Fallout 1 and 2, but hated Fallout 3 (like me), but have played New Vegas: Does Fallout: New Vegas more like a "True" Fallout game at all? I'm debating picking this up just because of it being from the Obsidian, the descendants of the...

I had always been a gamer. My parents had actually bought an Intellivsion for themselves (read: my Dad) so I played that before getting an NES. However, I do have a "That one game" I'll never forget the first time I played Sonic the Hedgehog at my friend's place. The graphics on the...

Reaver from Fable 2... You get railroaded into helping this guy of dubious value for reasons unmentioned, the MFer kills a likeable character right in front of you, then double crosses you, twice, you help him escape a triple cross to his double cross while he talks shit about you the whole...

Awesome Metal Albums Released this Year: Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy (fave band of all time) Blind Guardian - At the Edge of Time Soilwork - The Panic Broadcast Wide Sampling There. Also, Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare came out this year. It's not bad. Though I consider them more...

It makes me so happy to see Spartan: Total Warrior appear in a couple of posts here. That is one of my favorite games in this genre. Great weapons, the combat was better (it was more a strategic, boxing-like, back and forth with each enemy), and the HUGE battles were awesome (hundreds of allies...

My problem is the down-time. I currently work the largest transportation company in the world as a technology and engineering consultant. When I'm busy, when projects are stacked up and there's too many to do and not enough time, it's fantastic. But on days (or weeks) like these, I browse...

I used to be totally pro-NHS until my wife (who is a doctor) educated me on the subject. Now, alot of stuff about inefficiency, government bureaucracy, long wait times, system abuse, frazzled/overworked doctors/staff, higher taxes, etc.. I completely agree with. However, what swayed my...

This. I was going to make a comment about this in regards to the Tenpenny Tower situation in Fallout 3, but Kevvers said it all perfectly. Anyway, the concern I have for Mr. Tynes' game is that there is a better-than-decent chance it would devolve into 30 hours of mini-quests a la the...

Not be insulting, but that whole rant seems kinda silly. I mean the only reason companies do anything like exclusive DLC at all is for the benjamins. I seriously doubt they care what your "right reasons" are. Let's take your Fallout 3 DLC for example. Let's propose the following situation...

I haven't been big on football games for a long time, i always found the controls to be unnecessarily complicated and if i wanted to play football i would justm, you know, grab a football and go play. That said, I LOVED the arena football game back on the PS2. That was a total blast. Me and...
