I'm going to go ahead and assume that the reviewer is not so interested in The Show or in the 2K series (or baseball, for that matter), which is fine in life, but becomes a bit of an issue when having to review the two games. The basic idea of doing a comparison exclusively centered on core...

What you're essentially saying is that everyone should be comfortable in their own skin, and it's ridiculous for someone to try to be someone they are not. I agree, and I think most people would agree, but it's absolutely not reality. I've known more than a few gamers who were uncomfortable with...

Honest to God, I could have used this list as my 12 least favorite games of 2010, with only Brotherhood being removed. This, with the obligatory qualification that I respect your opinion and that you're willing to voice it. Still, though. Damn if I don't hate those games, man -- all for very...

It really does feel like Fallout 2 -- more than I could have hoped for from the new breed of Fallout games, anyhow. I'm finding that New Vegas is appealing more to the group of people who liked the original games, and less to the people that liked Fallout 3. Which is weird, seeing that New Vegas...

I think you should probably grab Fallout 3 with the intention of buying New Vegas when the price drops. The main story is better in New Vegas than in Fallout 3 -- the writing is better, the ending is handled in a far more effective way, and the characters are way more interesting. But I'm all...

I don't know how long Minecraft can sustain a fan-base this large, but it will surely never generate MW2-type hate. The comparison isn't valid. And am I missing something about ZP? Scroll through the comment section of one of his videos, and you won't find anything other than "oh, I wish you did...

The host is fine. Probably better than Three Dog. The songs, though? Bleh. Literally, the most important thing in Fallout 3 for me was the song selection. I'm convinced that it changed my entire perception of the game. I don't think Obsidian really "gets" that this is a popular sentiment. Maybe...

If we are calling The Wire underrated, that's the obvious pick. If not, I think that Carnivale deserves a mention here. I also think that Louie is extremely underrated, and is probably the best TV comedy I've seen since the glory days of The Office.

I'm saying that Medal of Honor looks like an uninspired, bland, brown clone of your favorite game. Polished, maybe fun... but your favorite? Ah, well. Whatever works for you.

B-but... what about Medal of Honor makes it a potential favorite game ever? There's a problem in saying that any unreleased game has a chance to be your favorite, but it seems to me that Medal of Honor, in particular, shouldn't be a candidate.

If we take the question literally -- as opposed to the three greatest films ever -- I'd go with The Shawshank Redemption for obvious reasons, and then I'd go with Synechodche, New York along with My Dinner With Andre. The latter two speak directly to the way that we live our lives, and while...

You still have quite a few issues with grammar, and frankly, I have a hard time consolidating them with everything else in your writing. That's an off-handed compliment -- you have a unique voice, even if it is schizophrenic at times. The picture captions are still less-than-mature, but if...

There are a multitude of reasons why I prefer Fallout 1 and 2 to 3, and vice-versa. For the purpose of the thread, I'll merely state that Fallout 3 does not approach the level of freedom that the first two allowed. Fallout 3 does an admirable job of allowing for choice, but in the first two, it...

Bless you for trying. I came to the Escapist around the time MGG was at his peak popularity, and it wasn't a pretty thing to see. He'd post a review similar to this, and it would get upwards of 65 comments, all telling him how bad he was. Some were polite, and some were jerks, but he, more...

Compared to your Review Wars entry, I'd say that this is a definitive step back, in terms of formatting. My only tangible problem with your entry was that there was awkward transitioning between ideas, and this only serves to make that more obvious. I've always preached a flowing piece over...
