    Civilization: Beyond Earth Review - Analysis Paralysis

    OMG how can I possibly enjoy this game knowing that Greg though Dragon Age 2 was a better experience?

    Civilization: Beyond Earth Review - Analysis Paralysis

    Greg I love you buddy but you're funny. This game has "analysis paralysis", but you still gave DA2 a perfect score. Yes I am still bringing that up years later. Yes I am still cranky about how unarguably terrible that game was/is on ALMOST every level. Yes I am still so salty about paying...

    Has EA's Origin Service Improved Any Over the Last Two Years?

    This is sort of how I feel as well. After the whole Sim City thing happened (I couldn't return that piece of garbage) I told myself I was done with EA after being a customer since the early 90's. Don't think a functional storefront is going to change that. Nice to see you being objective...

    The Big Picture: Leave Michael Bay Alone

    Wow nice job MB. What an Ayn Rand-ian thought! People are afraid of great because it is scary and challenging. People only want good (or bad) because it is safe and familiar.

    Jimquisition: Monetizing Whales For The Retention Of Virality

    First off thanks Jim incredibly entertaining episode as always! Although the practices are terrible and I mostly agree with everything you said, the f2p cubicle androids don't really scare or bother me because they don't affect me all that much. Don't get me wrong after Sim City I will never...

    Final Fantasy VIII Getting High-Res PC Release

    I am of the camp that 8 was not good and 9 was the best of the series. Really my complaints with 8 are the same as everyone elses; draw system was boring and the plot/characters were pretty lame imo. 9 on the other hand I have played through 3 times and always cry like a little kid at the end...

    Fellow members of the PC master race! Mice recommendations?

    EA Admits That SimCity Could Have Been Offline

    Let me preface this with this. The first Simcity game is the first video game I ever purchased for myself and I have played every iteration since. I have also put in about 23 hours into the new Simcity 5 since it came out. Stick with me on this. I actually like the small city size and the...

    Poll: Worse launch? SimCity or Diablo 3

    You could play Diablo III by now. This is worse. The 3 hours I got to play of Simcity in the last 3 days were great.

    Poll: Would you play Deus Ex Human Revolution if it started Adriana Jensen instead of Adam Jensen?

    Some very good points but I would slightly disagree. I believe that gender has a lot to do with a well written character motivations, decision making, and general presentation. What I would like to see is a female character who's sexuality isn't the #1 focus. No Laura Croft saying "lets get...

    Poll: Would you play Deus Ex Human Revolution if it started Adriana Jensen instead of Adam Jensen?

    I was just reading Shamus's latest experienced points and it really got me thinking; would a AAA action game work with a female character who is not a 21 year old bikini model with something to prove? What if you had a game where 32 year old security expert Adriana Jensen lost her nerdy...

    Tropes vs. Women Protagonists

    A point and an opinion: Here is the thing with women wanting to play woman games. The market really needs to be tested. Lets not fool ourselves to thinking AAA games are made as art. They are made to make money. If the industry sees an avenue of making profit off of AAA games that feature...
