    Any moral choice systems done right?

    I admit I am getting tired of moral choice systems, but sometimes gaming can surprise me by doing them right. Case in point: The last two Frogwares Sherlock Holmes games, (Crimes and Punishments, and The Devil's Daughter) They did it in a way that makes more sense. It is impossible for...

    Fan-Made Games?

    I'd play the fan made remakes of King's Quest 2 and 3 over the original games any day.

    Cult classics (or "underrated games") that you found underwhelming.

    My Brother once got me the game The Longest Journey: Dreamfall and I thought it was Okay. I got The Longest Journey afterwards because I heard many good things about it and I hate having played part 2 without part 1. Both games were good but underwhelming. Nowhere near worth the amount of...

    So Capcom is Now Under The Risk of Being Bought Out...

    If it is bought by anyone, I just hope it's not Sony. I would hate to buy a VITA just to play Ace Attorney games.

    Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers Remake Coming in 2014

    I can't believe this is even an argument. Yes the old game had a great cast. However, we have no reason to believe the new cast will be incompetent, and given the screenshots I've seen before the remake will tremendously improve the games atmosphere. Second, even if I didn't have faith in it...

    Most surprising story twists in gaming (Spoilers)

    Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller This game was full of decent twists, although they petered out in the final chapter. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds created the best twist I can remember.

    Zelda Warriors?!

    About time something like this happened, since the Zelda series had spent years building up a dense mythology around it. About time it went into some other genre then the standard Zelda Formula. I'll probably rent it first.

    Games you liked in Genres you hated

    Lord of the Rings: The Third Age Never big on turn based RPG's. I don't know how I got into this.

    Gabriel Knight is BACK! YAY! YAY! YAY!

    You know, if they do remake all the games, I hope she is unafraid to change things, like some of the stupider puzzles. I remember hearing that Jane only included the motorcycle rental puzzle in GK3 because of some upper management ordering her to do something like that.

    Gabriel Knight is BACK! YAY! YAY! YAY!

    http://www.gabrielknight20th.com/ Sure it's a remake and not a new entry of the series, but still, YAY!

    Poll: What type of Dialogue tree suits your play style and should it have options?

    Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers had the best type of dialogue tree.

    No Right Answer: Strongest Female Video Game Lead Ever

    Yeah, I have to cast my write in vote to Grace Nakimura. If we do ever get another Gabriel Knight game, do you know the reason why Grace will return to Gabriel? Because she feels that's where she's needed. Gabriel Knight is a very flawed character and Grace's instincts know that if Gabriel...

    Games you wished you liked

    I wished I could have liked the new remake of Leisure Suit Larry, since I love Sierra adventure games and want to support the revitalization of old Sierra series, but the original game was mediocre, and the new changes didn't help that much.

    The worlds most immaterial criticisms.

    As I watch the commercials for Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, and see Alexandra Daddario's newly blonde hair, I remember how that people seriously complained about how her hair is different then it was in the books. None of them realized how immaterial that criticism is. That's one of the...

    What's the most you've cried at a fictional character's death?

    The most for me was a few tears for Captain Kirks Dad.
