The game is a 1.1 gigabyte download and there are mirrors around the globe. For the one developer (BaRunSon Interactive) it's got a different publisher for each region, and depending on where you download the game from, you won't be able to access certain servers. Something I omitted in the...

Notes: I'm back. Yay. Korean MMOs are a sub-genre of games that have gained a certain degree of infamy from the gaming community over time. Many would be quick to argue that there are, for the most, dime-a-dozen grind festivals, playing off the same bag of fantasy cliches over and over. More...

I think this is a pretty nice way to set up a music review, though I must say I'm a little gob-smacked that you go through most of it saying that The Resistance largely a rehash of the band's old songs, but at the end say it's worth a purchase. Advice wise, I'd say try not to be...

I've just read through your three reviews posted so far, and I think they're pretty good. There's a few things you could do to improve though, chiefly scrapping the segmented subheading style. The problem I'm seeing here is that some sections are nice and meaty while others are just a token...

My favourite personality would have to be United States President John Calvin Coolidge. He came in after Harding died and sacked his corrupt buddies, won the presidency outright in 1924 and for the most left everyone to their own devices until he retired in 1928 (essentially because he got bored...

Micro-replies, for I really should be working! That'd be because I'm not terribly experienced with the multiplayer, seeing as I don't usually have a Xbox Live gold subscription. I do have one for about three more weeks, and have given it a few hours online, but am terribly busy and just know...

Notes: Game reviews are back (finally)! It's been a while since I did a solid 1500-worder too, so that's good, I guess. Comments and criticisms appreciated, as always. Battlefield is Swedish developer Digital Illusions CE's forefront first-person shooter franchise kicked off in 2002 with the...

Hey everybody, did you know that today is the birthday of writer and editor extraordinaire, and all 'round nice guy, NewClassic [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/NewClassic]? Well it is! And what better way to celebrate our favourite monitorhead's special day than with a cake...

A decent review, though I can see you're quite bitter about the changes to the game. The glaring flaw I see here is that you've made no mention of the story at all, which I'd call a bit of an oversight and as such makes you rely a bit heavily little on the reader to already know a few things...

My my, What a warm reception. Reply time! I wasn't too sure how I should spell her name either. IMDB [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1205489/] listed her as Sue so I went with that. Initially I thought Thao was spelt "Tau" (given the same pronunciation as in Warhammer 40K and all) but that...

Notes: Bloody heck. How long has it been since I posted a review now? Two months? Three? Oh well, my new computer is almost working so game reviews should come soon now that I have some more free money. Big thanks to Archiael for getting me off my arse to do this. Comments and criticisms...

Tip top review here. I love how much depth you go into with the storyline and the mechanics of the game. I'd contest mjhhiv his point about the flow as I personally think the paragraphs link together quite well, but I'll agree that a (greater) mention of the sound and visuals could definitely...

Just going to give this a bump, because I think it deserves it. An excellent job (with a little help :p) on this, but just a couple of things that slipped. "Story" has somehow slipped itself in there twice. Perhaps the second time you meant "plot"? And perhaps just a few more commas...

So here's an idea I had yesterday whilst talking with a couple of my friends. History can be fun to learn about, but sometimes it's a little difficult to draw out all the important points from a textbook or encyclopaedia. So what if we trimmed the fat? The basic idea is to take a moment from...

Winner! But heed the advice of others. Save the image to your computer and rename it to something others can't easily guess from, then upload it to something like Photobucket [http://tinypic.com/] and use the code there to link it here. More fun for all that way :)
