Which one of these makes me break the law and perform illegal operations? That seems to be my number one problem.

What about Metal Gear Solid 4? It might have been confusing and drawn over a decade but I loved how it wrapped up all the loose ends. Also considering that a good chunk of the game was story.

Call me dense but I still don't fully understand this. Why are we (well, they) denying access to web sites because they are inappropriate for children? There are TV stations that have content that children should never see, but they don't ban those. If the parents can't keep their children from...

I guess nobody here has played Cortex Command. It's an indie game by Data Realms that is shaping up to be absolutely incredible. While the designers are still working on the programming of the game, they made it completely customizable and most of what the community has put out includes...

I prefer Creative's Zen myself. Had it for about 6 or 7 months now and still love it.

I can see how they could use tilting but I would imagine that it would be hard to watch what's going on when you have to move it quickly to the side, unless of course you turn your whole body, but if they want anyone to play in public then that's not going to happen.

First they say video games will warp your mind and they'll twist your view on reality. Now they are trying to warp kids minds by lying to them about their parents instead of telling them what's really going on. I bet if a video game company came out with this, they would say exactly what we're...

I hate how they take two events and draw these connections. a)Student drops out. b)Student plays games. Therefore, student drops out because he plays games. Did these people ever stop to think about why they were playing? Is it possible that they were looking for something fun to do/kill time...

On one hand I feel sorry for someone who's addicted, however small 24 hours might be compared to others. On the other hand it's idiots like these who give all gamers a bad name.

I first came to The Escapist around the time Yahtzee posted his second ZP video,(The Darkness, if memory serves) and for awhile that's the only reason I came here. Then after wandering over the forums and reading the articles on the home page I nearly passed out at the unexpected intelligence...

Let's see...(not in any order) #1-Science, but only when it comes down to religion, which brings us to #2-Religion. I'm an Atheist so I don't care what you believe in as long as it makes you happy. But when you start telling people what they can or can't do and who they can or can't marry...

It seems to me that Mr. Wallace has no idea what he's talking about. I'd like to point out that us upstanding Americans have nothing to do with the Army's stupid decisions. Also, is it just me or would the type of gamers that play Second Life never join the military?

I think this might the first legitimate case of a kid learning something from a game. Not the desire to steal cars or kill people, but how to work the wheel and pedals. Good thing Jack Thompson's gone. Edit: I'm ashamed I didn't think of that first.

Is it just me or should someone with such an important job as community manager never use emoticons in offical statements?

I remember a study from a long time ago that correlated the increase in violence with that person's natural violent tendency. It basically said that violent kids become violent and calm kids are still calm. It also compared the increase of violent tendencies to be almost exactly equal to...
