    Convince me to buy Skyrim instead of something else.

    Depends on what you want. Psychonauts, although fantastic, is short and pretty much has non-existent replay value (unless you really like scavenger hunts). Skyrim is a massive MMORPG game with huge amounts of replay available but a comparatively weak story. Anyone who tells you one is clearly...

    What's the greatest weakness of your Skyrim character?

    Nothings too much trouble. I suppose a swarm of tough melee enemies can be a bit overwhelming, as a sword and shield isn't really meant for fighting that many enemies. Those guys that can disarm are a pain in the ass, as well.

    You are going to be killed by the last weapon you used in a game. How are you feeling?

    Dawnfang (oblivion)... So. yeah. sword. and fire. probably not a pleasant combination.

    Soooooooooooooooo, Lisa's Top 5 is Cancelled then?

    It's hardly new as far as Escapist is concerned... show's always come and go, usually with a lot less drama than extra credits

    Why do people say zombies are overused?

    Literal zombie games consist pretty much of L4D, Dead Rising and Resident Evil (I'm sure I left some series out, of course). Other games like COD, Red Dead, Borderlands and such use them to flesh out some extra content. Personally I seen no problem with zombies. They're fun, simple and a bit...

    Which games have gone on long enough?

    Sonic. Should have died like, 2 console generations ago. Zelda is starting to wear really thin, IMO. Final Fantasy is getting pretty on in the years as well. Dynasty warriors should probably go. Not because the idea or concept, just because they just get worse every time I player a newer one...

    Can somebody please explain Why half-life is good

    TF2 is the best game on Orange Box IMO (Provided you play it on PC where it gets support) I never really liked half life. I didn't even find the story all that impressive, honestly. Oh well. I didn't really like KotoR that much either. Or Shadow of the Colossus. Or Portal. So apparently I'm...

    Worst. Weapon. Ever.

    Borderlands rocket launchers... It's not so much that they're useless, it's just... they look so damn impressive but are literally the worst weapon type in the game by infinity. Also anything not the gravity gun or crowbar in Half life 2.

    Take-Two: Duke Nukem Forever Was Profitable

    Are you surprised? It got bad review, but everyone still watned to play it. Then something like say Bullet storm got great reviews and was all around a pretty fun and at the very least original shooter and no one made any money. Gaming companies still make terrible things because we buy them.

    Prehensile for sure. Maybe like Aipom, from pokemon?

    No Russian

    The Villains aren't Russians, they're terrorists. Russian terrorists, yes, but the main villain INTENTIONALLY turns the US and Russia against each other without either side particularly noticing. And when something as ludicrously over the top as "Satanist dictionary" is taken seriously, I...

    Poll: Deadliest Warrior, Crap and Poor-Taste?

    The people arguing for the sides tend to be arguing more towards their side in battle, not particularly the ideals or any of that rot. The demonstrators want their side to win, or at least are paid to act like they do. Although it would probably make the show a whole lot more interesting if...
