    Zero Punctuation: Eve Online

    I just have to ask - what is a purpose of having an advert for Zero Punctuation after the review? Come on. We've already watched it. We know that Zero Punctuation is posted every Wednesday on The Escapist. WE'RE ALREADY THERE!!! Just wondering...

    Favorite video game weapon.

    I like the sheep in Worms. The most amusing weapon ever. Also the flak gun in UT was an amazingly versatile weapon. I must agree with the satisfaction gained from wielding the double-barrelled shotgun in DOOM 2. That sound was amazing.

    John Romero Dumps On Mike Wilson

    This is two kids in a pissing contest. Ever seen Grandma's Boy?[/I] So much for so called "genius" developers.

    The Catch-Up Game

    I know the feeling. I have some 40 PC games, 20 SNES games, 14 Dreamcast games, 18 Gamecube games, 23 Xbox games, 17 Xbox 360 games, 6 PSP games, 6 GBA games and 4 Gameboy games. Of this collection of 148 games I have completed a grand total of 18. Just over 10%. Admittedly this collection...

    Gerstmanngate in Reverse: Maxim Fires "Must See" Film Critic

    Indeed. Ubisoft aren't the only publishers who cannot take criticism either. With the reported "banning" of EGM from covering games by the Ubisoft, Sony and Midway, we have to wonder where this is going. I would hope it would stop the publishers putting out shit games but the sad reality is...

    Gerstmanngate in Reverse: Maxim Fires "Must See" Film Critic

    You have to feel sorry for Gerstmann here. He was just doing his job, minding his own business and he gets sacked because an advertiser gets the huff because they made a bad game and he said so. Surely by now publishers should know better. If they make bad games people are going to say bad...

    If Only

    Too true. This is because publishers are too eager to get their hands on our hard earned cash to care whether games are enjoyable or even playable in some cases (ahh remember Enter the Matrix? That went into the bin after 5 minutes due to the controls making the game unplayable.). This is...

    Rockstar Games Now Available Via Steam

    It's a very good move for both Valve and Rockstar. The beginning of a partneship that will benefit gamers as well and probably make both developers a fair bit of cash. Now if only Steam worked with Xbox Live... I understand Virgil's reluctance to buy the games that he already has on other...
