I prefer Western. It's not to say that I haven't enjoyed some JRPG's but I play a lot more Western ones. They are generally more free than JRPG's.

Miyamoto, Molyneaux, Wright and Meier all spring to mind as I have multiple games that I love made by all of them. To be honest though I haven't always paid that much attention to who it is that makes a lot of the games that I buy so there are probly plenty of others that have made several...

I generally don't use them but I have found myself needing to on a couple of occasions where sound effects and background music have gotten in the way of hearing dialogue. Often I find there is the option to adjust the volume of dialogue, music and effects separately and I find tweaking that to...

"Can I have a go?" Both of my parents played games with me when I was younger. They both still play games in fact.

We may not get a cookie but it would be nice to see some coverage of games where its worth as a way of inspiring thought or exploring morality was examined rather than how they are a tool for corrupting the minds of children. Violence in movies can be seen as a harrowing lesson in about...

Why are stick-up-their-ass art critics so intensly concerned anyway that games are not defined as art? Do they require superiority? In attacking gamining do they want to be able to look down from their self elevated platform on works that they decry as inferior but are no less capable of...

Don?t developers just pay to get on covers these days? I would rather hear about records for games that have achieved things more worthwhile than having the biggest marketing budget.

A genre change isn't necessarily a bad thing when the original games plot and setting are suited to it. Obviously Fallout 3 was very different to the first couple of games but Fallouts old-timey-post-apocalyptic-future setting of the game was original enough to be able to sustain the change...

Then have you tried the UFO games [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO:_Aftermath]? All 3 of these were pretty fun and I've seen the trilogy box set for about 10 bucks.

Do a proper X-Com game and then I might care.

Not really fan-fic but I did buy the first Mass Effect and Hellgate: London Books. Can't really remember anything about either one of them except that one had a recurring error which made it look like someone had tried to use find and replace to correct one error and accidently made a few...

Whichever hits the bargain bin fastest.

It does look pretty cool. Very few games get my attention because of the multiplayer but this one definately has.

Advertising in games isn't going to make it any cheaper. We can sit around complaining that as they are getting more money from advertisements they should give it to us cheaper but they will just argue that they are using ads to offset the increasing costs of making games and stop them getting...

So your trying to hire someone to kill off your better half and you don't want her to find out? Just turn on InPrivate browsing on Internet Explorer 8, do your thing, clickity click and no-one knows what youve been up to. Your secrets safe. I'm a PC and you have my condolences.
