    SimCity Mac Launch Runs Into Trouble

    Who would honestly want to play SimCity. These Mac users knew for a fact that the game was nigh-unplayable, so frankly EA should leave it as-is in an attempt to get the players to give up so they won't have to deal with customers any more.

    Zero Punctuation: Next Gen Buyer's Guide

    You could do a lot worse than Magus of the Vineyard. With that card in play, everyone gets more resources, even if no one wants what you're offering. It sounds like that fits right into the next gen business model. That with the get-out-of-jail card is a pretty responsible mana curve...

    Remember Me Review - Sadly Forgettable

    The reminds me of some hypothetical sequel to Ghost Trick with heavy action sequences. Ghost Trick's plot was more sensible, and it got way better review scores. I would play a crossover, probably.

    Watch Dogs Contest Invites Facebook Fans Into the Game

    I'm giving Ubisoft the benefit of the doubt. Snapple's giant popsicle which, predictably, melted all over the streets of Manhattan was simply stupid. This one is related to the themes of the game and puts people in the role of Aiden's victims. So clever or stupid, I'm interested.

    Battlefield 4 Prioritizes Gameplay Over Graphics

    'How do we make it more Battlefield?'" Add prone, sight sway, close-quarters maps, and needlessly detailed guns. Those were in the most successful Battlefield games, right? They can make whatever game they like, but lying to gamers doesn't generally go over well.

    Jimquisition: Innovation - Gaming's Snake Oil

    I'm going to have to play Mirror's Edge again. I've never had a problem platforming in the first person, so I must be missing something that causes all of this critical bile. You don't even *have* feet to look down at in, say, Halo, but it doesn't stop people making all of those precision...

    Saints Row IV Takes You "From the Crack House to the White House"

    Why did it have to be Deep Silver that bought Volition?!? Why! Maybe I'll buy SR4, but not Riptide? Can't risk them making any more Dead Island sequels, though. Agreed entirely. Look at Battlefield 3: Simply having a new engine doesn't do you any good if the devs don't make use of it...

    Worst movie(s) you have ever seen?

    I don't watch many movies, and certainly not movies infamous for being bad, so recent memory will have to do here: The Hurt Locker. People have named movies that achieve nothing or teach the characters nothing, and this manages to do less than nothing. The movie is predictable, bland, and none...

    Now that Fallout 4 is being teased, what would you like to see in the next installment?

    I couldn't find this one so I'll offer: -The ability to be genuinely evil. Fallout 3 had such a pathetic "evil" lean that it never made any sense to include it. The first bad option in the game is to call another vault dweller's mother a whore. That is not being evil; that's just mean. Being...

    Poll: Worst Major Mainstream Actor:-

    Jeremy Renner. He is so mediocre and forgettable that his roles could be filled by honestly anyone, and I have to assume that his dog is more charismatic than this hack. His only distinguishing feature is his scrunched, mangled face that fills me with disgusted contempt. Although, I suppose...

    Pimp My Gun: Show your Creations [Image Posting tips in the First post]

    Doctor Noob and Skipper could do well to apply a little necromancy, methinks. Anyway, as far as criticism goes, the width of the ejection port is too beefy and the way the bipod attaches is pretty blocky. But I love your shading and the look of the whole rifle. Good stuff. There are some...

    Feed Dump: French Fry Attack!

    What superpower would you have?

    The ability to reverse time by a few seconds. Kind of like having foresight, but you get to try again if you manage to mess up. I, personally, fumble simple tasks with alarming consistency, so that would be my power, no question.

    Groups that you judge unfairly

    I'll agree with others in this thread and say: fanatics. Male MLP fans have only my most sincere disdain, and anime fans bother me just by raising the subject. I dislike anime in general and I judge people who like it. I see that picture attached to commentary on music more than anything...

    Sega Coyly Announces XBLA/SEN Jet Grind Radio

    I've only played the sequel, so playing the first one should be cool. Also, Wikipedia says that Jet Grind Radio is actually different from Jet Set Radio, having more content and the ability to connect to the Internet. Can anyone confirm how useful/noticeable this is?
