    Is Deus Ex: Invisible War at all worth it?

    EDIT: Tried to edit my post, ended up quoting it, like an idiot. Sorry for the extra post.

    Is Deus Ex: Invisible War at all worth it?

    I personally liked it okay. Of course, comparing it to Deus Ex makes it look like an attempt to throw together a sequel while pandering to the "cool kids" of the early 2000's. I mean, the tag line is literally "the new war on terror" with a dude on the front holding a pistol sideways with the...

    Poll: Can you understand me speaking english?

    My thoughts exactly! Perfect line to end it with. And yes, your English is fine. As people have said, definitely some accent, but you speak English better than people who ONLY speak English that I've been around. I'm always so impressed with people picking up English as a second language...

    Creepiest Moments You've Had... in Non-Horror Games

    This one was a glitch, but I damn near pissed myself. Waaay back on the GameCube, I was playing Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. It was a conflict my grandfather was a part of, so I wanted to play it. There was one point, I think it may have even been multiplayer. In the baseball field, where the...

    ESRB Ratings "Awareness" May Be Maxed Out

    I think as a gamer, when I become a parent, I'll use the rating system to decide if I need to observe the game more closely. E? Go for it. T? If the kid is at least 8, it's fine (seriously, T is a really low rating). M will require further scrutiny. A "Halo"-like game is far less...

    BioShock Infinite Hands-On Preview

    I don't let myself get excited for upcoming games. Dishonored? Looks cool, but I can wait. Far Cry 3? Nice, I liked Far Cry 2, so I'll pick it up... eventually. Heck, I still don't have Skyrim, and I love all the Bethesda games I've played. But reading this stuff on Infinite? Ugh, give me...

    Desert Bus Begins Tonight on a Road Paved With Loot

    Well, didn't plan on sleeping tonight, so the LRR crew shall keep me company!

    Poll: Fallout: New Vegas. What was your favorite DLC?

    I liked Honest Hearts, just from the atmosphere. Big open area, everything comparatively lush and beautiful, and once I found the Survivalist's caches, I was hooked. The various tribes were relatively un-interesting, and the fetch quests were dull, but I just liked the area in and of itself...

    Poll: CNN: Console Gaming is Dying

    Well... I'll not get into any specifics on why this is WRONG, I will create a new slogan for CNN: "CNN: At least we're not Fox News." Because everything they say requires one to be in an altered state of mind to understand. And it's still wrong, just more amusing.

    Games That Absolutely Need a Sequel

    An odd couple of series to be in the same universe, but hey, why not? I also just remembered, you could get a jetpack in RF:G, so there had BETTER be one in SR4, Voltion! >.< There would need to be -some- destruction restriction in Saint's Row, though. If things keep escalating, you'll be...

    Games That Absolutely Need a Sequel

    Well, I was trying to read everyone's posts, but then figured I'd just say what I thought, repeat or no. No More Heroes 2 (because why not?) Just Cause 2 (as above) The Darkness II (I liked the story and would like to play more. I may "borrow" my gf's PS3 so I can play the first game)...

    Should I get a 360 or PC?

    I'd go with a decent PC for a number of reasons. Steam is a big one, since you can wait out launch prices and even pick up really stellar sales. There is of course the robust modding community for Bethesda games, and oldie game sites like "GOG.com" where you can snag PC titles from yesteryear...

    Will The Elder Scrolls Online end the same way as Swtor?

    To paraphrase Yahtzee, "I hate people." If I want to go on an epic adventure, I want to be the only one doing it. Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and NV, I love them because I can go at my own pace, do as I please, and just have a good time about it. I don't have to worry about someone twenty...

    Why I fight for Caesar's Legion in Fallout

    I sided with the NCR for a while, until I too began to see the corruption and weakness you spoke of. Luckily, I'd not -quite- finished up the Wild Card missions. So I went to Hoover Dam with the NCR, who were bewildered by the robots following me and absolutely shredding the Legion. I don't...
