    Poll: Bioware or EA?

    The way I see it, it's EA, all the way. I don't think it's a coincidence that right after BioWare's bought out by EA, they started a movement away from their traditionalist design, and more toward ACTION gaming. ME2 was good, but it was more a shooter with RPG elements, rather than the...

    Zynga to sue DC over the name 'SmallVille'

    It can cause confusion with Zynga's IPs? Well maybe if EVERY SINGLE ONE of your games didn't end IN THE SAME BLOODY WORD, you wouldn't have this problem!

    New Image pops up revealing Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer.

    I wanna believe they mean something akin to the Cerberus Network in ME2, but they say "multiplayer pass", so I'm not too hopeful. Also, not too hopeful that a multiplayer mode would be any good this late in the trilogy, or apparently tacked onto the N7 edition. But I'll just go ahead and...

    Your vote for worst game of 2011 thus far

    I'm going with Homefront. I didn't even have the willpower to tough it out and finish it. I just stopped at mission 3 I think; I had had enough of that boring trash. My biggest let down would have to be Dragon Age 2. I was so disappointed that the sequel to one of my favorite games from the...

    Mass Effect Movie: No Femshep, no Seth Green, Original Story.

    When this movie project was announced, I took solace in the fact that BioWare was so involved. Now I'm not so sure. This info about the movie isn't all too inspiring. But it's early yet, they're probably still trying to find out where everything goes. Let's see if this thing even sees the...

    Your favorite lesser known band

    Foxy Shazam. Think a little bit of Meatloag and a whole lotta Queen. Glam rock perhaps at its best.

    What Was Your First Gaming System

    My first was a Sony PlayStation. I still get goosebumps every time a PS1 game starts up.

    Casual sex

    I'm totally okay with the idea. People have stress and sometimes they need a release, without the added stress of a relationship. If two similar-minded people who need to get off and are comfortable with each other want to do it, then there's no problem. I myself am in a FwB at the moment...

    Warner Bros. Offers Arkham City Costume as Green Lantern Blu-Ray Bonus

    So then I guess the alternate costumes are usable in the story, judging by that summary. Very nice. That's something I was concerned about. Um, but anyway....I find it amusing that WB's offering something for a good product, with a bad product. It's almost like they know their movie flopped...

    You get to greenlight a sequel to any game that has ever existed. Which game do you choose?

    Hmmm, either a proper sequel to Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction (cuz Mercs 2 was an abortion). Or a sequel to the 2005 game The Punisher. They teased it, just never followed through. Loved that game.

    Poll: Should I get Skyrim for PC or for Xbox?

    One word:mods. Sure, you get the same game for 60 bucks, but on PC you have so much goddamn content that people make with the Dev Tools. You actually get more bang for you buck that way.

    Poll: So, I preordered Skyrim.

    Purchasing a game as large as Skyrim ensures you get the right amount of bang for your buck. I almost only exclusively buy longer single-player RPG games, cuz I know I'll always get a lot out of my 60 bucks. So yeah, I say you made a good choice. Game looks sick.

    Poll: Your picture of Nintendo execs at this point?

    Between that whole Project Rainfall thing and the apparent failure of the 3DS due to just all around poor planning, the Big N has certainly seen better days. But at least they seem to know it, or assume some responsibility for it by assuming paycuts. Maybe they can find the Wii lightning...

    Fallout New Vegas almost best game ever?

    It really didn't click for me. I liked Fallout 3, and this was just the same game, just more orange. I typically like a different experience when I play sequels, and this was just a copy/paste sequel, IMO. It is Obsidian afterall. But gods....the bugs. I gather it was worse when it launched...

    What's your default starting difficulty?

    I'll always start on normal. Rarely do I stray from that.
