Rather, it could be, that as you get older, you just get to be bitchier. I'm 33, and would be greatly embarrassed to be known as the guy who moans about everything game related. Rather reminds me of my Luddite mother.

Actually, what's pathetic is the need to nitpick something because you've decided nobody else should be able to enjoy it, namely since you do not. Are you equally upset that many mice are designed with right handed use in mind (or for that matter most products on the market)? Or do your...

Yes, I'm sure making cover context sensitive to the analog stick would really help movement. Oh look, every time I pass anything resembling cover, my character suddenly sticks to it, intended or no. Thank you, no, I'll stick with the requirement to push a button to assume cover rather than...

In all fairness, things have changed for the better since, This Film is not yet Rated was released. The main point of change being that directors are now allowed to compare and contrast other films when appealing a rating.

To be fair, you don't need to be behind cover of any sort to bring up the reticule. You simply need to push the aiming button on your controller, and you can bring it up at any time. This is to simulate the fact that firing an automatic rifle from the hip is horrifically inaccurate. Then...

All depends upon the genre. Heavily action oriented titles can get away with a minimal story, with the action keeping players interested in the title. Other genre's such as role playing or adventure games don't get that leeway. They rely so heavily upon story telling and character...

Can't say I've really run across the issue much. Then again, I tend to visit sites that are more technically oriented, and are populated by well educated and paid professionals or general PC enthusiasts. Sites like Arstechnica and Elite Bastards are my main haunts. Limited? Yes. I'm just...

Here's the thing. You can sell your HL2 and Episode 1 codes for 10 to 20 bucks on Ebay or Amazon, and then the Orange Box is 25-30 bucks (25 if you pre-ordered at 45 bucks). That's what I did, sold it to a friend for 20 bucks (and that's a good value for both HL2 and Ep1).

Yes, the store in Thailand acted in bad faith. However, Valve did so as well. After reviewing the STEAM ToS and EULA for Orange Box titles, nowhere does it state anything about region locks. If this was so important to Valve, why have they not included any language about it in either end user...

Stick with the Freespace BSG mod. This game is awful. How anyone could screw up a top-down shooter so horrifically, I just don't know. They did manage quite well, if I do say so myself.

So it's bad to present a fictional piece using stereotypical characters? After all, I do not look to games for enlightenment, I look to them purely for entertainment. Anyone doing the former gets what they deserve.

Given the lengths required to see that content, why not?

I concur. Anyone remember the pricing on NeoGeo carts? Sure, the system was the same thing that populated arcades, but boy was the bum raping brutal at the register.

Yeah right. Have you seen the scores that adventure titles receive from all but sites dedicated to adventure titles? Even the majority of game reviewers fall into the ADD/ADHD crowd. They also seem to rate based upon hype, rather than the actual content in a game. As much as it pains me to...

I don't really find this in the same ballpark as the whole hot coffee fiasco. The content in the hot coffee mod was easily accessed via GameShark on the consoles and a simple download on the PC. This hack requires a modified PSP, custom firmware, and a game disc with a modified executable...
