'But make no mistake, it's a brutal War Machine' Cherno Alpha. It has a goddamn nuclear cooling tower for a head! Its design really sells the idea of it weathering any storm, giving it a real sense of solidity and implacability that the other more human-proportioned Jaegers lacked, imo...

Well to put it another way, one hundred percent of every character we know from the planet is pro-rebellion. And if to successive leaders of Earth were communists, you'd probably be fairly correct in saying Earth was a communist planet xD

I see your point on the Confederacy and I'll raise you one further: The Empire are also the good guys. Or, at least, not especially the bad guys. Think for a second: what exactly do the Empire do to deserve to be the bad-guy. In the expanded universe they are tyrannical racists, but in...

I think my main problem is: WHY THESE VILLAINS?!! Electro? Rhino? Seriously?! The Lizard was bad enough (being a poor man's Doc Ock), but jesus, these guys are the bottom of the barrel. And now they're setting up Vulture, apparently. The good Spiderman villains are as follows: The...

Lord of the Rings created a massive world unlike anything anyone has ever seen, with subtleties to it that barely any of the flood of imitators has equalled. There isn't a constant barrage of magical explosions in lord of the rings: magic works by invisible influence and corruption, primarily...

even Mario and Call of Duty change things significantly more with each instalment than Fifa, though. From a new title in either of those series, you'll actually get something new. You did hit the nail on the head though with Fifa: people buy them because EA holds people hostage. It's sad...

oh god this drives me fucking crazy; I just don't log into youtube any more. Google really needs to understand that people don't want youtube for a social network, they literally just want to watch videos. OT: This whole plan of, as far as I can tell, giving peoples' comments weighting...

It kind of annoys me that there is this dichotomy of subscription fees and F2P in the MMO market. Subscriptions essentially mean I don't even own the game, and is no better than what Microsoft tried to do with the Xbone, and possibly worse. I will never pay a subscription to play a game...

Nobody is saying it is totally impossible to get past the Deathclaws (though it is impossible to get past the mountains in the exact centre of the map), but you have to admit that it is obviously the will of the developer that you don't. Invisible walls + ridiculously high levelled monsters...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_alcohol_consumption Take a look on there -- some interesting information, especially finding out just how low on that list the US is -- 57th place, despite the wealth of Americans and the amount of disposable income to be spent on alcoholic...

The problem with just plugging a gamepad into a PC is that on PC games they lack the auto-aim that makes gamepads usable on consoles, giving you a distinct disadvantage, which is annoying on singleplayer games and unacceptable on multiplayer games. It is a simple fact that in order to be...

The problem is that I agree with pretty much everything in the article, Bioshock Infinite was built entirely around the Damsel in distress plotline and any attempts to subvert it, in my opinion, fell well short of the mark of having anything meaningful to say. It was a fantastic game, but...

I had no idea Mark Millar wrote Kick Ass. I loved a lot of his work on the Ultimates and thought that when he dealt with serious issues there (I primarily refer to Hank Pym beating his wife Janet and their torturous relationship thereafter) it was done well despite the goofiness of the...

The problem with Leonardo DiCaprio is that when you watch him in a film it always feels like rather than watching a character you are watching DiCaprio playing a character, if that makes sense. In any case, I think I'd generally prefer relative unknown castings for this, although maybe they...

Rorschach's death in the comic of Watchmen. The horrific desperation, tears streaming down his face as everything he believes in crumbles, begging his friend to kill him... goddamn that was a powerful scene. One most people won't have come across: the death of Charlie in Private Peaceful by...
