Be nice if they threw in a little extra something for those of us who already have a gold sub and won't benefit from these 5 free days but will probably suffer immense lag instead.

And absolutely nothing said about the Xbox update. Again....

I think it can be difficult for games to tackle these kind of subjects due to the views some people have of them. Video games already get a bad rap for having you shoot nazis etc..., can you imagine the kind of media uproar you would get if CoD had images of mass graves, or fighting in a...

There's way too many of these MMOs now, and franchises I enjoy seem to now be focused on some crappy, social networking site of a game. I'd much rather get my hands on a new KotOR single player game.

People like that are the reason you have 'Caution, Contents May Be Hot' written on McDonalds coffee cups. It seems being incapable of rational though it not preventative to a successful career though. There are people in my office with very senior jobs who still haven't got their heads...

It's not just when moving it. My 360 has put huge wounds in a few disc without being moved at all.

My Girlfriend can be like that about games but since we started playing Soul Calibur together she's got better. I've got her Fable 2 for Xmas so hopefully she'll enjoy that and realise what I like about games. I doubt I'll get her playing Left 4 Dead any time soon, but it's a start.

I'm British too and in the real world I rarely come across homophobic behaviour but it is a pretty big issue online. Mostly it's American teenagers but not always. I've complained about some but I don't think Microsoft polices things well enough as i've also complained about people in the...

I find myself frequently taking the Xbox Live headset off when playing Halo as the banter frequently consists of bizarre, irrelevant or hateful nonsense. Anti-homosexual comments inevitably form part of this, particularly with younger players (though many older players i've encountered are...

Yeah Dexter Fletcher was terrible... Although nowadays I might prefer him to the new uber-Christian Dominik Diamond. Did you watch that TV show where he was going to get properly crucified (they were actually going to nail him to the cross for a while) to feel at one with Jesus and then he...

I think the show could be ressurected without Dominik Diamond and Sir Patrick Moore. New faces are what is needed, and i'm sure it's well within the ability of TV execs to find a personality that will fit the theme, and I think such a show could aquire a substantial audience if someone were to...

I always think we need some gaming TV shows as the only one here in the UK is on some very minor satellite channel so doesn't get watched. We used to have Gamesmaster on one of the four major channels but it shut up about 10 years ago and nothing has ever come around to replace it. It was...

A good article. I'm a bit concerned that some people want to make sure everything their kids do has some educational value, why not just let them muck about for a while? When I have kids i'm keen to play games with them, and Lego Star Wars would be an excellent one to go for. Even my...

The opinions from the Fallout 3 doubters seem to always be critical of the fact that Bethesda didn't use any of Black Isle's Van Buren material. I've seen the Van Buren tech demo and i can totally understand why they didn't use it. It looks like the kind of game that belongs in the late 1990s...

You are so wrong. I've been gaming since I was 8 and my dad bought me a commodore 64, i've had at least one console from every generation, and most handhelds, and i've been playing PC games (including Fallout) since we first got a PC in like 1992. I've given up on PC games because frankly...
