I like Doctor Who's new format. I also really liked the classic episodes too. I would never have said the show has undergone any kind of Americanisation at all - it's still very, very British. There was a UK show in the 90s called Bugs which was about a team of people stopping cyber-crime; its...

Hmmm well my thought was that there's plenty of developers out there that would do something like this. Publishers on the other hand... Would someone like EA or Ubisoft do something like this? Perhaps I'm wrong, jaded and soured to huge mega-corporations and no longer have faith in the...

Gotta admire Gator's absolute gall and Bethesda's rather awesome sense of fair play. Can't imagine any other publisher doing something like this.

Mine would probably be the final boss in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, it was certainly the first game that came to mind. The combat in that game is intense anyway but the tension is ramped for me because I'm rubbish at it! I played the whole game without using the parry mechanic because I...

Despite what the internet thinks, cats are highly sensitive creatures that don't always deal very well with change. They're all about territory and unless they are incredibly well socialised from kitten then taking them to a new, strange place - particularly one where there will be other cats -...

An awful lot of Bethesda stuff being "leaked" leading up to this press conference. No one company could be this inept and careless. (Except maybe EA or Ubisoft) No, I'm thinking it's all part of their plans to build further hype. Gotta be.

I think it all depends on your love for certain franchises when it comes to Lego games. Speaking as a Tolkien fan I can say that Lego Hobbit and LOTR are some of the finest games ever created in the world of Middle Earth. At least they are if you enjoyed the movie interpretations as they're...

I respect your right to personally consider the Silent Hill franchise dead (I certainly wouldn't blame you) but it's far from being "officially" over. Konami's last statement said that they are still committed to creating more games in the series, despite the cancellation of Kojima's Silent Hills.

Oh my God... I didn't even consider this. Konami already has one barely-alive franchise dragging behind it like a dead limb (Silent Hill), MGS can't go the same way. Kojima is about the only person holding Konami together right about now.

This happened to me a LOT back in the Xbox/PS2 era when I didn't follow gaming news nearly as closely as I do now. Literally only the big names reached my ears then. Oddly enough Silent Hill 2 was one of the games I picked up on impulse and knew nothing about... boy was that a good decision...

Although the official box art for Bioshock: Infinite was awful, one of the alternate designs provided by Irrational themselves is an example I consider amongst the finest. It's simply gorgeous. If only they'd been brave enough (or 2K for that matter) to release it like this.

If you say WW2 games to me Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is all I can think of. It was the quintessential war game. I love it even to this day. I can't explain why I love it so much; perhaps nostalgia has taken me. Those levels, that musical score, the horrifying sound of the nebelwerfers, that...

I live in England, have countless options for ISPs and yet my connection is terrible. Just tested it and download speed comes out at 1.14mbps. There are marked drops in performance at certain times of the day; I'd say right now is when it's slowest. I can barely play a YouTube video...

OK, fair play. My bad. ^_^ I've played SH2 so many times it's easy to forget which details are overt and which are not. Not that ANY of the details could be considered overt... Come to think of it I didn't get that detail first time through either.

Came here to point out the same mistake :) I'm not being antagonistic but... But you are completely right and I absolutely love this game :)
