I loved the voice acting in killer7. Micheal Gough is probably my favorite, but mostly because Dan Smith is a badass. Robin Atkin Downes is pretty good- he played both Travis Touchdown and the Medic, along with a host of other characters from games I don't like as much. Also Dennis...

What was he banned for in the first place?

No, he was clearly named after the vacuum cleaner from The Brave Little Toaster I don't know if that's anachronistic or not and I don't care. Also, I honestly liked the GameCube controller.

I've never quit a game because of bad voice acting, but I've played games with it. I think the worst I've played might be Baten Kaitos. Sometimes it's decent, but most of the time it's just bad. "THIS WILL CLEANSE THE EVIL OUT OF YOU" Oh, and now that I think about it, the HL2 mod "The...

Personally, I love it when games are silly and constantly break the fourth wall. I haven't played Champions Online so I can't speak for it specifically, but the article honestly makes it seem like a game that's right up my alley. Well, okay, maybe not exactly. I'm a huge fan of MST3K, and...

What's with all the mystery countdowns these days? Surely there's a way to create pre-announcement hype that doesn't seem like a fad?

An LP of Limbo of the Lost, a CNN article, something from Seanbaby, this, a TV Tropes page, and another forum topic.

I dunno, the Sonic Adventure games were pretty good (if rather flawed in some departments *coughbigthecatcough*), but then they basically took the things those games didn't do well (camera controls, too much slow gameplay) and just made them worse from then on out.

Max, from the Sam & Max games/comics/TV show. Sam, too, but he's more of the straight man to Max's even greater homicidal impulses.

I'd like to propose an alternate theory: It's simply the <a href=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheLawOfFanJackassery>Law of Fan Jackassery at play here. For people too lazy to click on the link, the Law of Fan Jackassery states that "The jackassery of a fandom is a unimodal...

Some games don't need plots. Some games don't try to have plots. For lots of earlier games, a plot wasn't even necessary. But, over time, video games have evolved as a medium, and it has since become almost necessary to have some semblance of a story. Some games just shove it to the side, do...

That would be Chibi-Robo. Good game, if a bit slow at the start.

Elite Beat Agents, and even more so the original Japanese game (Osu! Takete! Ouendan!) The Americanized version is fairly insane, including dancing secret agents, music-hating aliens, and, at one point, ghosts. Haven't played the original, but it strikes me as even more insane...er. Male...

This is how it's always been. I agree wholeheartedly, outside of 'in this day and age.' I'm sick of people saying that these things are unique to right now. They're not, you were just too stupid to notice it beforehand. The thing with originality is that it's mostly dead in the mainstream...
