    The Big Picture: Why Robocop Still Rules

    I've never been the biggest fan of Robocop, but that was a really interesting (read deep and reflective) take on the film and the series. I hope to see you use The Big Picture to tackle other classics in the same style.

    Escape to the Movies: That Awkward Moment

    This. The answer to your question is Gareth Edwards. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies/2266-Monsters I'm not prepared to bury him before he's had a chance to surprise me, but he is every reservation I have.

    Thank goodness. I badly wanted them to pull that stuff out. When I saw this headline, I actually started dancing.

    Bioshock Infinite: I want my Save Function back.

    One thing I like about manual saves, is that it allows me to circumvent poor coding by developers. I don't think I asked my video games to force me to do anything and for my money, you lost the argument at, "Yes, it's annoying..." The first BSI DLC, the only one that's out, is Horde...

    Bioshock Infinite: I want my Save Function back.

    Nope. I spoke too soon. The game just froze on wave 6. There is no excuse for me not being able to save after wave 5.

    Bioshock Infinite: I want my Save Function back.

    Don't get me wrong. I restarted the DLC and I'm having a blast, but I like to try things; I like to experiment. But I can't experiment with wave 15 unless either I can save or I continually grind my way back up to it each time I want to try something new. Not for nothing, but The Orange Box...

    Bioshock Infinite: I want my Save Function back.

    In the new Bioshock Infinite DLC, which I was rather getting into, I found that I could not save. It was disappointing, but not nearly as much as when I tried to restart wave 9 only to find out after I selected the option that going back to the last checkpoint meant restarting from wave 1...

    Games with good gameplay but terrible story that made you stop playing

    Rockstar North; the answer to your question is Rockstar North. Grand Theft Auto IV, Max Payne 3, and especially Read Dead Redemption all have universally atrocious characters. Only now do I truly appreciate GTA 3?s silent protagonist. MP3 is just, kind of, alright; so when I had to put it down...

    Modern Warfare 3; Living up to the legacy?

    For whatever it's worth, I've actually played MW3 (@CODXP)and even though I just got Red Dead Redemption Game of the Year Edition, Homefront, Gears of War 3, RAGE, and Battlefield 3, all I can think about is playing MW3 again.

    Battlefield 3 Beta on PS3

    Okay, so I gave it a second chance. It still failed, but I'm trying to pin down why. I'm a very aggressive player. When I see a problem, I run at it. The sprinting, however, wasn't very consistent and, as I said, the movement controls make dodging rather difficult, which makes it easy to get...

    Battlefield 3 Beta on PS3

    Just as an example, I was (on Metro, obviously) walking toward a bridge and looking past it at a hill with a tree on it, when suddenly, next to the tree a bit of cover and a sniper appeared. Bam, I was dead.

    Battlefield 3 Beta on PS3

    Actually, when it comes to teamwork, I just picked up an XBOX and a new mic for MW3, because all my friends have 360s and I'm looking for better teamwork in multiplayer.

    Battlefield 3 Beta on PS3

    To be clear here's some of the games I've played which I naturally compared it to: I suppose Homefront is the closest in that is has the vehicles. And I enjoyed Homefront, particularly the targeting drone which I hope they pull off in MW3, but while the helicopter and the tank were rather...

    Battlefield 3 Beta on PS3

    Other than a shooter, what would you say BF3 is? Are you talking about the vehicles?
