Alright so I'm seeing a lot of older lower budget movies, so ill round it out with Southland Tales. A million dollar director's dream, full of actually recognizable actors albeit C-list ones, a two and half hour run time that somehow doesn't feel long enough, and top it off with a plot that...

Wow, thats really impressive! I remember Cosmo himself saying that going sub 19 minutes might never happen and seeing him do it now is really cool. Cosmo is one of the reasons I love speedrunning, he just explains it and executes it so well. Seems like some folks aren't as big a fans though...

Post Brave New World Civ V is actually biased towards tall empires, and wide empires have been pretty heavily punished. The series has also suffered from Infinite City Sprawl issues as far back as Civ 2, and Civ 3 was probably the worst offender in that regard, so "expansionist" bias was hardly...

First off, I could have made this a poll, but I felt like I wanted a little bit more than a yes/no answer. Alright, so lets talk turn based strategy. Recently, we have seen the return of many prolific strategy gaming series. Xcom made a big return, Fire Emblem was saved as a series by...

Bioshock Infinite with 999: 9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors. A bit obscure, so for the uninformed, 999 was a visual novel/escape the room game with one of the best science related narratives I've ever seen in a game. So I'm proposing you fill in the plotholes of Bioshock Infinite with some...

Lots of Bioshock Infinite? Well all right. To each his own I guess. Throw me in for Fire Emblem: Awakening. What do get when you suck all the good level design out of a strategy game? Apparently more shipping fodder and anime boys than you can shake a stick at. I didnt hate this game, but...

Its an odd state we are in. Even when players tell you they want gameplay, they still want story more. I think that with this generation of gaming has come an urge to be validated as gamers. The most recognizable feature for non gamers is a good story, and so this generation has adapted to...

Im still a fan of Video Games Awesome. Some of the most happy go lucky letsplayers out there, some of their old stuff is legendarily good. For anyone looking for a good place to start, their letsplay of Heavy Rain is tremendous and the production quality is higher than any other lets play...

This game sounds really cool! If I had any advice as a fellow writer, it would be to remember that not every moment has to be serious. Many stories now a days make everything seem like the end of the world. It can really hurt a story and make actually important moments lose a lot of dramatic...

Fire Emblem. The first one released in America which is technically the seventh one in the overall series. I grew up with it, so you get the nostalgia vote, it taught me game design, so you get the artistic inspiration vote, and it is still the best game in its own series by far, so you get...

Um well lets see... Skyrim Yep, pretty much what everyone else said. A little boring, a little gray and way to uninteresting to look at to work at all on my poor little TV. Add in some boring NPC conversations and meh combat and you have the boring, no guns version of Fallout 3. Which is a...

What these guys are trying to say is that the game does not exist on PC. You can however, have your computer emulate the PS2 and play the game that way. It wouldn't cost you a dime. Just google PS2 emulators and follow the steps to download and set it up. As for Persona 4, I cant recommend...

I mean, I get Yatzee's point but I always felt like the Zelda games did a good job of being pretty different. Not bucking the status quo just doesnt fit the series for me. I feel like each 3D zelda game is designed around exploring different themes. You have impending doom and the weight of...

Gogoat is pretty cool, and plenty powerful, but the award for best troll pokemon of the new generation goes to Klefki. I love it when game freak makes a pokemon that everyone else seems to hate, and none of them are as controversy inducing as Klefki. Add on a sweet type matchup like Steel-Fairy...
