    Do you have trouble finishing games?

    It's a mixed bag. A game that you want to replay over and over has to have some replayablitity value to it. Portal has that replayability for you. It is just long enough and fun enough that you can handle going through it again and again. It might be the humor is funny or it might be that the...

    So that Deus Ex leak eh?

    you really want people to incriminate themselves? even with online anonymity? All I really hope for this situation is that the game isn't released later because of it.

    Is call of duty an art?

    I find it interesting reading this thread to see a large disparity between those who say yes, because video games are art and so COD must be since it's a video game, those who say no outright, and those who say no despite the fact that video games are art and COD is a video game. I'm not...

    If you sold ALL your video games , how much money would you have?

    I would get a specific amount of money directly equal to the worth of my games. I would guess about $200?

    L.A Noire Your Thoughts and Impressions

    A 3D point-and-click adventure game isn't necessarily a bad thing. I personally loved this game. If it weren't for the fact that my brother stole my Xbox, I'd still be playing it now. Sam&Max and the Monkey Island series are some of my favorite games of all time.

    Gaming going Mainstream - How does it affect us?

    It's upsetting to hear this again. It's not just you, and nothing new on the subject is going to be said on this topic for a while. This scenario has both good and bad points. No there is not as much focus on the kinds of games that the crowd who calls itself "hardcore" wants and yells about...

    Games you couldn't wait for that turned out to be huge disappointments.

    Same here. I had to put the game down for a bit and lower my expectations to a reasonable level so I could play it again. But now I find it enjoyable since I'm not expecting it to be the pinnacle of gaming i thought it would be.

    Free MMO's without "cash shops" ?

    I think you should give Maplestory or any other free co-operative MMO a try. It sounds like you're just concerned with evening the playing field because you don't want to pay extra. Any co-operative MMO won't bother you if you don't pay because you won't really have to worry about what anyone...

    If you could bring three game characters to hell with you

    I'm just saying I wouldn't bring anyone with me. If i had to give an answer, I still wouldn't choose anybody, because if I chose to bring anyone to hell, it would be for them to suffer, but because I'm there I'd have to suffer as well, and so the people I bright with me would probably not...

    Poll: Video Game Violence

    I think there needs to be limits on what certain levels of violence children are exposed to, but that's all subjective on the part of the parent. Obviously, in order for any violent stimulus not to create the next serial killer it needs to be paired with education and perspective on the actions...

    Poll: GameStop Gives You Too Little For Trade-Ins?

    And if you're selling your used games back, you should be thankful that you're getting anything back at all. How many companies will let you return their projects for anything? You won't get that with, say , Home Depot or groceries. "Hi, I'd like to return this Hammer I bought last month."...

    If you could bring three game characters to hell with you

    If i could bring three game characters with me to hell... it would be irrelevant because i don't believe in hell

    Poll: GameStop Gives You Too Little For Trade-Ins?

    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..... whoa.... You mean to tell me that a company can't offer to buy products it's selling at the same price it's selling them for and still make a profit? That's... That's just.... That's just exactly how i pictured a for-profit business would work.
