    Space Marine "Rips Off" Gears of War

    My thoughts exactly, to anyone surprised at how many people sound so outraged by this I think it's because of how ridiculous the claim is.

    Space Marine "Rips Off" Gears of War

    Fire Warrior is based on 40k which predated Gears (I've never played it though)

    Space Marine "Rips Off" Gears of War

    Are they kidding? the demo played nothing like Gears Of War. Combat is completely different with all the melee, not sticking to cover and being rewarded for executions (or pretty much being required to complete a ton of combat executions on hard). Moving around feels vaguely similar which...

    Poll: Assassins Creed: Anyone else hate Desmond?

    I love Desmond's story, in Assassin's Creed 1 I actually looked forward to the bits where I came out of the animus, because it meant I'd be finding out more information about why I was there etc. I also found the assassin parts of AC1 a little repetitive. Brotherhood actually pissed me off by...

    The Player Character

    I strongly prefer silent protagonists. I don't mind playing a voiced character, but a silent one allows me to feel more like I'm playing as myself, it enhances my immersion and I'm all about immersion :)

    Civilization World: How do you feel about it?

    It's not another one of those where you have an amount of 'energy' that recharges a certain amount every hour is it?

    Bethesda: Consoles to be the lead platform for Skyrim, aim to make it ?really accessible?

    I'm a console gamer, I can't afford a gaming PC, I'd like to own one, but lack of funds has that decision made for me. Now that article still makes me a little nervous, Bethesda is a developer that I have a lot of faith in, but when anybody talks about making a game 'more accessible' it never...

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

    Well first of all there's fable2, I got swept up into the hype so much for that game and it was just terrible (in my opinion) even if I wasn't so hyped up for it I still would have hated it. fable3 was pretty lacklustre too but I was kinda expecting it to be. Oblivion was slightly...

    What happened to half life?

    i kinda like alyx, i really enjoyed half life2 and its episodes, i think i played them in six hour streaks day after day till i finished them. In my opinion they got the 'protagonist is everyones *****' story thing just right, i mean you go around helping people do stuff and doing what they...

    Poll: Opinions on Cannabis?

    it is not addictive, and its awesome. The best way to describe being high is that its like your chillin level just went up to 99. I mean if you try it and don't like it then thats not a problem, im just saying don't knock it till you've had a go. And tbh, most drugs are just as if not less...

    Most Ignorant thing somebody has to said to you about gaming.

    not along the same lines as most of the things in this thread, but: "what? why wouldn't the sims3 play on my 6 year old desktop that cant run msn and itunes at the same time without taking around 10 seconds to load up a conversation window?"

    Advice with my friends younger sister

    just cut down on the attention you give her, like only reply to something like a third of her posts/texts/messages, then it just kinda seems like your one of those people that barely replies to shit online. I recently had this problem, although not as bad. My kinda friends half cousin (i...

    pokemon yellow was my first ever game :) i remember being at school and just spending all day thinking about coming home and playing it. The first time i beat brock was with a team of pidgeys, i sand attacked the fuck out of geodude and onyx before slowly gusting them down, but i remember being...
