    Ex Machina Questions. Spoilers within.

    I just want to add my two cents regarding her motivations: I don't think she doesn't value human life, I think she actually wants to learn a lot more about human interaction and emotion, maybe even make friends. However, she couldn't do that in a truly meaningful matter as long as everyone...

    Worst case of good writing going south within moments

    How is the ending of the series? Is it closed or is it more like "find out how it goes on next season". If it had an acceptable ending I might bring myself to finish it, just for closure.

    Worst case of good writing going south within moments

    Hi Fellow Escapists, I haven't been posting in a long while but I have just watched Jessica Jones and I am actually furious enough to write about it here. Spoilerfree tl;dr The series ruined all its good writing twice in 20 minutes so I quit for now. So where did you experience...

    Assassin's Creed Unity and Rogue Sold "Very Well"

    Well to be fair, Black Flag was available on both last and current gen consoles. Since the now current gen does not have quite the install base, games cannot hope to achieve the same sales numbers, even if they would be perfect (which they aren't). So they combined the generations again to get a...

    Batman did kill in the movies. Why no outcry?

    Well, during the interrogation the joker says something like "You have one rule and I want you to break it". The movie made a pretty big deal out of batman not killing the Joker, saving him from falling and all that. So yeah, he was supposed to be in the no killing phase.

    Batman did kill in the movies. Why no outcry?

    Spoilers for the Nolan Batmans and Man of Steel Okay, I'm talking about the Christopher Nolan Batman movies, because I just rewatched all three of them and it occured to me how in every movie someone dies, even though Batman could have saved them. Even worse he actually killed one guy...

    Recommendations: PC JRPG's

    The Last Remnant. It has a really intersting group fighting mechanic, where in the endgame you control up to 18 units in up to 5 groups. This may sound strange for a JRPG but in my opinion it works out really well. If you read up on it, keep two things in mind: The XBOX veriosn was a...

    Ubisoft Sales Down 35 Percent

    I imagine a lot people lost some faith into the AC series after 3. I know I did. And to be honest, although ACIV is a great game, if you're after stabbing people and running through nice cities in your AC games, then 4 just isn't the right thing.

    Remedy Releases Free Alan Wake Comics, Soundtrack, and More

    It's a bit ironic when you think about it. At first Alan Wake was announced to be THE DX10 showcase on PC but at some point it became a 360 exclusive, ignoring remedy's PC fanbase. Then they release it 2 years later on PC and now it's getting "PC-exclusive" content by the time it's 4 years old...

    Saw "The Desolation of Smaug", want to share a few thoughts

    Well, a lot of things that annoyed me were already mentioned, so let me just add a little nitpick: I want the material of the hand barrow Thorin uses to SWIM ON A STREAM OF MOLTEN GOLD. I mean seriously, a 2 centimeter strong chunk of that material let's you swim in gold without even breaking...

    Recommend me a good TURN-BASED RPG

    The Last Remnant Yes, the main character is a bit annoying but the game is really huge and has a unique art style. The fighting system is also fresh, because you have way more units than usual and it's extremly deep due to formations and so on. You might feel a little lost in the beginning...

    Forza Motorsport 5 Review

    Only 14 tracks? That's not even a complete season from a racing series like formula 1, which has 19 tracks per year, I think. Well, having to build such detailed assets seems to take it's toll, I guess.

    Bad Games Can Give You Good Ideas

    You should play Alan Wake's American Nightmare then, which has a similar concept. It got quite harsh criticism compared to the first one, which I never understood, it's simply a neat little experiment within the interesting universe of Alan Wake.

    Why Games Will Only Get Cheaper

    Reading all the replies here I get the strong feeling we are comparing apples and oranges here. The author of the artice cleary drew his visions from the PC market whereas the commenters mostly base their reactions on consoles. The big difference is, that on the PC there is no such thing as a...

    Peter Molyneux's Curiosity Finally Chipped Away

    I actually think this is great. When you think about what Molyneux could have done, involving someone completely random into his first true independent game so deeply is quiet a drastic move to pull. I mean this guy could ruin the whole experience for everyone, including 22cans, just for the...
