I've seen a few space games that when you go to land or dock somewhere, the game autopilots and does everything for you. Back in the '90s I swear I remember a few games that let you guide your ship and dock it, as well as run the risk of damaging it by running into things. Ignoring games like...

I don't think the game really HAS to have the sleep/hunger/thirst stuff more that it's just particularly interesting when they do. I suppose too many needs to manage would become a Sims survival game. Still the most important things I think are scarcity of guns but high effectiveness when found...

Great suggestions guys, putting all of these on my list. I understand my mentioning of Farcry 3 and Borderlands 2 is a bit off kilter with the intent, but my point was I don't have fun with games where you're just showered with weapons and ammo. Farcry 3 is NOT a survival game, but it could be...

Yes, I tried Dwarf Fortress - love the concept completely, but the old graphics even with the LazyNewb tiles still make the game difficult to play. Sure wish someone would make even an isometric Dwarf Fortress with all the complexity of DF. Towns seems the closest, but as I recall it is missing...

I was all hyped to get Farcry 3, until I watched a few gameplay videos on YouTube (As I often do to get a feel for what a game is like before I buy it). What I was noticing was echoed by Totalbiscuit in his video of it. Your character basically despite being new to this crazy situation seems to...

This is why I despise the gaming industry anymore. People are so used to game companies TOTALLY ruining a game when they remake it that they will lavish praise endless on a company that manages to not completely convert a game to something new and sucky. As someone who has played X-COM: UFO...

I still cannot believe EA is forcing players to buy an online pass for online play. I rent all my games from Gamefly before I buy, but I'm not wasting $10 just to see if I like BF3's multiplayer considering the single player was garbage. And I don't care about the argument "Oh it's just $10...

Ugh...I will never understand why people think LBP is so great. I didn't bother buying it, so given the bleh selections Sony offered for free with their "We're sorry our service was out for over a bloody month" deal I picked LBP. When I started playing it again, I remembered why I stopped. To...

Oh clap clap clap clap clap clap clap. You know Bob, I started watching your reviews because you hated the new Star Trek movie - one of the few. I liked your dissenting opinion so much that I started watching all your videos. I recommended movies to friends based on you. Finally a...

Gotta be honest on this one, Yahtzee's trilby was my inspiration to go out and buy one. I wear mine a fair amount of the time. I'd love to get an old Stetson though with the felt lining and wear that all the time - where I live not many people wear them for whatever reason (Trilbys that is). I...

Hmm, well while I didn't like Minecraft initially it does grow on you. As pointless as it really is, just building stuff is fun. I think Mojang got lots of support for being the small time developer who's done a lot for themselves to establish themselves in the gaming world. Kudos to them for...

EDIT: Stupid double post...

I started gaming when I was an infant - some weird talking parrot thing on the PC that was DOS based. I had to have been 3 or 4 so my recollection of what it involved ends there, but my first experience with gaming was on a PC. When I was 5 I also got a SNES and NES. I played lots of Super Mario...

Link: http://www.xfire.com/cms/xf_acquisition/ They sent out a little message saying most of the original team behind Xfire is leaving as well. I don't know what will come of this...but things involving Viacom = not good. They were after all, behind that big YouTube copyright lawsuit and...
