    I'm fine with e-sports. but not in the X-Games, Not Cool.

    SF2 sure, relatively simple situations with usually a perfect 'optimal' move for an AI to choose at any moment. Strategy games, nope. Way too much information and variables for an AI to be able to decide on what to do. Sure it'd be incredibly efficient but it can't strategise or plan ahead...

    I'm fine with e-sports. but not in the X-Games, Not Cool.

    Completely agree...in fact I don't really see how there are any subjective 'style' events at Olympic level where positions are judged on how pretty it looked: figure skating, synchronised swimming, artistic gymnastics, dressage to name a few from just peeking at the list of sports. I...

    Top 5 games of all time

    *whispers* lots of gamers are really young and don't have a clue about the good titles that came before they stopped wearing nappies so can only relate to the ones released in the last few years

    Has any game series improved with every sequel?

    Completely agree with Civ not so sure on Xcom because of the dodgy Interceptor/Enforcer/Apocalypse parts - Not sure on the order but I missed out on those iterations and haven't heard much good said about them. They're all sitting in my steam library as part of a bundle I bought many moons ago...

    Top 5 games of all time

    Thief 2: The Metal Age Portal (Yes I also liked Portal 2, but the puzzles were too easy in comparison, it felt like they made it easy so everyone that played could enjoy the story) Monkey Island 2 GTA: San Andreas (The most fun one in the series imo) Quakelive I'd struggle to list...
