    Planetside 2 Will "Revolutionize the FPS Genre"

    Planetside was the most fun I've ever had in a game. Ever. To people comparing it to Battlefield or whatever - don't bother. The original was/is completely different to anything I've played before or since. Comparing a shooter with 32 vs 32 servers against a game that had literally thousands of...

    How much coffee do you drink a day?

    Normal day I have four espressos in a cup at the start of work , with cups of tea as pick me ups for the rest of the day. Needless to say I feel horrible if I go a day without caffeine.

    What makes a good story?

    OK, so it seems characters are the most favoured aspect. But what makes a character "better" for you guys? I was thinking more in emotional terms for yourself, than in an academic way...

    Poll: Morality Systems: Good or Bad?

    I like to see consequences to my actions in my games, whether good or ill. Consequences other than filling up a couple of arbitary bars marked "good" and "evil". It hink developers are barking up the wrong tree with this particular mechanic, there's so much more potential...

    Poll: What's Your Favourite Final Fantasy?

    Probably 7, because it got me into gaming and taught me games can have good, well fleshed out stories and characters. Just most, um, don't.

    What makes a good story?

    So, I've got a vague idea for a book that's been bouncing around my head for a while, the basics of the premise, characters and setting are all there, but I have doubts that it would entertain anyone but myself. It's made me a lot more interested in the whole mechanics of storytelling. So, I...

    I bought Bioshock, played for a couple of hours and now it just sits there, the big daddy leering at me, accusingly.

    The Mass Effect 2 Insanity difficulty thread

    Side note: The Mordin thing is not a glitch according to Bioware. If you do not have enough soldier types (e.g. Grunt, Garrus) staying behind during the Hold The Line segment, you get casulties. Since Mordin is the weakest character at this bit, he tends to die pretty often. Leave behind some...

    Poll: Mass Effect 2 Ending Final Decision *SPOILERS*

    I agree to to the above. Especially to the alluringness of Martin Sheen's voice. Mmmm. Martin Sheen. Did give make me think for a minute though, which is quite an achievement on Bioware's part.
