    Cyberpunk 2077 Trailer Goes on Transhumanist Rampage

    Someone on Reddit transcribed the secret message that flashes around 2:14 in the background (Paragraph 6 is very interesting. Witcher 3, perhaps?): Do you like our latest creation? We certainly hope so :) You may remember that we sometimes send you guys secret messages like this. It's a...

    Cast Your Vote For The Escapist's Game of the Year 2012

    I voted for Guild Wars 2. Considering I'm still playing it and having a blast, it gets the nod from me I enjoyed The Walking Dead and Spec Ops as experiences, not games. I feel that if you can watch a Youtube video of someone playing them and get the same enjoyment, it's not a great game...

    Zero Punctuation: Far Cry 3

    I was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved this game. Jason and his friends were very unlikable to me, but at least they were somewhat interesting. The gameplay was just...fun. The pirate camps that had wild animals in cages were my favorite. Sneak up to camp, shoot cage with my silenced...

    First we were introverted nerds with pocket protectors, acne, and thick glasses living in mom's basement Now we're raging psychopaths Make up your minds and stick to one extreme stereotype!

    Game of the Decade?

    I'd have to agree with a couple others and go with World of Warcraft for GotD. I no longer play it, but that game has been an absolute beast since it was released. Any game from 2006(?) that can still hold 9-10 million subscribers can't be denied And as others have said, it was the Spike...

    Valve Plans Living-Room Gaming PCs for 2013

    My thought is that since the hardware is controlled, in 5 years it will be outdated. The same way that the Xbox's graphics and AI today are considered behind the times. New games lose their luster the longer a console is out

    Valve Plans Living-Room Gaming PCs for 2013

    So, basically Valve is making a console? I guess I understand it from a business sense, but not really from a practical sense. Sounds like it would be a lot easier and cheaper for me to just stay on the PC. I have no problem with this as long as there aren't any "Steambox Exclusives" Now the...

    Valve releasing new PC/Console in 2013 !?!?!?

    American McGee Sets the Record Straight on China's Game Policy

    I would assume that was because we have an embargo with Cuba over the Cuban Missile Crisis from the 1960s. That's a far cry from locking out other countries from selling their products here. It's not even close to being the same thing. Please give an ACTUAL example of where the US blocks...

    American McGee Sets the Record Straight on China's Game Policy

    So, what I've gathered from this story/thread: China isn't bad because America does bad things The Chinese government forces their own people to buy crap products to promote local business. How are people just glazing over this? It's completely anti-consumer and is just another way their...

    Poll: old republic free to play is ready. will you be going back?

    I wanted to try a new storyline, so I downloaded the client to give FTP a shot. I was a subscriber for about 4 months. When I logged in, my 6 characters were still there, but if I wanted to try a new one, I would have had to delete 5 of them because there is a 2 toon limit. Knowing how many...
