    Who would YOU go gay for?

    José Mourinho, and I don't even support any of the clubs he's coached. That man's confidence and charisma could swallow the sun. He's also a dashing looking bugger.

    Canadian ISP Admits to Throwing Brakes on World of Warcraft

    As a Canadian who's lived abroad most my life, now that I'm back in Canada, I can safely say that this country's telecommunications industry is an embarrassment, and by far and away the worst I've ever experienced. The actual internet connection is ok, reasonably fast and stable, but I literally...

    Crysis 2 Review

    A minor critique, but the achievements in this game are fairly disappointing. There's huge scope for ridiculous achievements, given all the cool shit you can do with the nano suit, but the achievements are mostly just "you beat level 1" and "you killed 5 dudes with a pistol".

    Crysis 2 Review

    I've been playing this on the 360 today, and it does look damn good. The textures, however, are really nothing special on the xbox - you'll definitely get much higher resolution textures on the PC, I'd imagine by some distance. Good game so far! A few things seem kind of weird though. I've...

    Incredible StarCraft II Justin Bieber Parody Zerg-Rushes YouTube

    LOL so true. Everytime HD says "Coloxen" I want to facepalm. Though apparently for him it's 1 = colossus, 2 = colossi, 3+ = coloxen -_-".

    Review: Call of Duty: Black Ops

    I totally agree about the single player, it was so fucking boring that after my first session, I've had no desire to go back. He's not exaggerating that cutscene part either. Another thing that nobody's mentioned yet is that the controls don't feel as smooth as that broken POS Modern Warfare...

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Has Extremely Customizable Multiplayer

    Yes! Some of the online features that make Halo awesome need to be standard in all shooters. Forget gameplay differences/similarities, there's no reason why all FPS games shouldn't have split screen online multiplayer and customizable game modes.

    Unskippable: Final Fantasy 13

    Replace PB&J with something like...SW&R and that'd be a bit closer to the mark. And no, neither myself nor anybody else knows what the hell an SW&R sandwich is.

    Unskippable: Final Fantasy 13

    Niceeee, but just seeing footage from FF13 again just pissed me off. Fuck this game, I finished it because it was a Final Fantasy game, and it wasted 60 hours of my life that I'll never get back.

    Preview: Medal of Honor Beta Hands On

    Like many others, I also don't get it. Why produce such an obviously derivative game in an already saturated genre? To paraphrase Yahtzee from his God of War 3 review, I don't see any reason for this game to exist. Well, I'm open to being proven wrong when it comes out...

    Deux Ex Turns 10, Goes For $2.50

    10 years later, and still no single player experience offered since has topped Deus Ex, or even come close, IMO. I started what must be my 14th or 15th playthrough this week after not having touched the game in a couple years, and I can safely say that I still think this Deus Ex is way better...

    Boss Fights

    "Deus Ex is one of the few action RPGs I can think of that genuinely does allow any approach, and it's so old now it takes place on the blocky-leveled planet of the shiny fat people." QFT! In the decade or so since it came out, no single player game I've played has beaten the Deus Ex...

    Sony "Pleased" By Nintendo 3DS

    It's weird that Sony is so excited about this, because the 3DS's approach to 3D illustrates EXACTLY why Sony's push into 3D on TVs will fail miserably: one requires glasses, one doesn't. With 3D glasses running over $100 in most cases, you can't exactly have 8 friends over to watch a 3D movie or...

    Red Dead Redemption

    "Players would have to be sure they were properly equipped before heading out of town." Didn't you complain about this mechanic in Monster Hunter Tri?
