In DS1 I quit around level 8 or 9 because I just got fed up with being locked in a room whilst swarm after mob, after swarm attacked me. That's basically what the first game ended up being, a locked room, a bunch of monsters to shoot and a whole lot of frustration. Couldn't relate to main...

Interesting that we have a popular video game that doesn't have High-Def, High-Poly, and whatever else was being toted as "Next-Gen" by Microsoft and Sony. Maybe you don't need photo-realistic images of heads exploding for a game to be liked and enjoyed after all.

Interestingly the "numbers" argument could be used towards just about all MMOs. I mean...In essence why is everything done in EVE Online? The goal is to have the most uber XP character with the most uber flying ship of doom with X amount of uber mods and high powered guns to which you can either...

Yah know I just wish there was a space sci-fi MMO that was more constructive than destructive. I mean...I enjoy space battles too, I do, but really Counter-Strike in space bores the hell out of me eventually. I want to build something, produce something...And no I don't mean just warships and...

I'm surprised he didn't mention Osmos perhaps the best game on the platform yet. Games like Revolt, Samurai: Way of the Warrior, MiniGore, Zen Pinball: Rollercoaster and Hero of Sparta are also quite good. My issue with iPhone games, a common one amongst other portable device gamers, is you...

Yah know...Enslaved is not without it's faults, but overall I enjoyed the game enough to finish it. It's by no means a bad game. At the very least rent it.

Fatal Frame 2: The music and sound was rather subtle for most of the game, eery and only got more dramatic when you were attacked. For the most part you find yourself on the edge of your seat ears cocked to the slightest sound. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory: I remember sneaking around...

I was actually really looking forward to the Spider-Man Noir bit but alas it seems the game is made of epic fail.

I think the appeal of fan-fiction to budding writers is that much of the framework is already in place. I've been considering doing some fan-fiction myself, if for anything because I think some of the video games I've played could be expanded upon greatly.

For the most part I believe that a game shouldn't require a walkthrough. All the information you need to succeed in the game should be IN the game not elsewhere. Unfortunately this isn't always the case. I've used walkthroughs mostly to find my way around whenever I get lost in a game map or to...

The problem with exploration in ME1 was that it didn't make any sense. It's like BioWare was trying to incorporate old D&D RPG mechanics into a futuristic Sci-Fi shooter/RPG and well...It just didn't fit. Roving all over planets so you can hack some satellite so you can procure lvl 4 Cryo ammo...

In my opinion The Darkness is one of the most underrated video games ever. Sure the AI sucked and the puzzles were often stupid (see Yahtzee's review) but it had a great story, great characters and perhaps one of the best depictions of a consuming dark evil of any video game. As video games...

Of course there are no video games where you play as a Native American killing those evil invading white European settlers in what is now the U.S.A. and Canada. However I do believe there are a few "western" video games where you can blow away Indians (Native Americans). History (and video...

Aside from sheer laziness I think the reason why we have so many Nazi shooter video games (as well as a gazillion Hollywood WWII movies) is that it undoubtedly makes the Americans the good guys. As well it gives the video game player free reign to go on a mass killing spree guilt free (for that...

Stylistically speaking I've yet to see anything in a video game that comes close to Heavy Metal magazine. In fact I'd bet that most video game developers had never even seen a copy of Heavy Metal magazine. As well the stories in Heavy Metal could be quite complex, and complex storylines are not...
