    What game got you into gaming?

    We had a system that predated Atari. Some incredibly simple thing with built in games. I sold it a couple years ago and the store owner had no idea what it was, and couldn't find any record of it. Then I had like 250 Atari games. First specific game I remember is Final Fantasy 1. Then I...

    Are games today really that bad?

    That answer is yes, but it isn't just games. Every form of entertainment has gone down a great deal in quality. At some point the corporations realized they could put less work into making a great quality product, and the masses would still buy it. Every time that happens it justifies them...

    England Jails Homophobes

    "England Jails Homophobes" Misleading title is misleading. They were charged with certain crimes as it fit the wording, but what they were doing wasn't really about homosexuals, as they do this for anything their religion tells them is a bad thing. Its about religion. They are all the...

    Poll: What would you like a new Mass Effect ending to be? *spoilers*

    I thought the ME3 ending was terrible. I don't want a new ending. Do people actually think a new ending being made will remove the taint they feel about the game?

    The Bafta Award Winners are.....

    "Special Award Markus Persson" Good to know gaming award shows are as much of a complete joke as every other form of entertainment.

    Celebrities are let off too easily

    The problem might be that some of your information is incredibly inaccurate and/or not telling the whole story, as well as the fact that random nobodies get off for horrible stuff all the time. It only seems like celebs got it easy if you are ignorant on how often it happens to everyone...

    Bioware: Yes, We Are Listening.

    Ehhh...yes. I follow every major gaming website, and before the ending complaint explosion, there was in fact mass disappointment with Mass Effect 3's game quality in general. This of course is excluding official reviewers, because they have been a joke for years and the game was going to get...

    Bioware: Yes, We Are Listening.

    Yet there has been mass disappointment about the game in general outside of this site, not just the ending or DLC.

    "We're Making It Accessible to a Wider Audience."

    It really comes down to the developer/publisher. There are very few of them left that are respectable in what they do, and because of that, unfortunately, 9 out of 10 times it means a lower quality game. Either way, it is a term that a developer should never use. The only thing they should...

    Everything about this is pathetic. Every single thing. On both sides of it. Pathetic.

    Blizzard Announces Diablo III Release Date

    I still play Diablo 2 to this day, after almost 12 years. I played an unhealthy amount of Diablo 1. I have about 1% interest in Diablo 3 at this point. Every single update on this game has been a slap in the mouth to any Diablo fan with standards. Its almost like they have gone out of their...

    The Baldur's Gate Countdown Begins!

    I refuse to be remotely excited about this until we know who is making it. If Bioware, EA, or Atari have anything to do with it at all...sigh.
