Getting off the whole folding helmet thing. Honestly I think you have something going with the generic monster screaming thing, Honestly the level that unnerved me most ever was Ravenholme in Half Life 2. You knew that the person inside the headcrab is in all likelihood dead. But the...

OBJECTION!!! Bane does not suck. Bane has had a wonderful career in the bat-comics and has since kicked the venom habit. His appearances in the animated series were always awesome. In short Bane only sucks because he is not the Joker.

I wish i could murder spies like that with my medic. Mostly all I get a hate raped with a knife. :(

I think the point here is "demystification". No it's nothing special but those who've never had the wonderful experience of retail assume that warlocks gather around a cauldron in the black of night behind the store and conjure new devilish tricks to inflict on customers under the fluorescent...

Oddly enough you may have caught me somewhat briefly through a number of those. Recognize a lot of them from when I went. Granted I'm just another fat white nerd in an ocean of overweight pastiness. I also don't really count cause I'm a humble contributor. Next year I'm thinking of...

To elaborate my soft spoken friend here you seem to think that unless a game is "gritty" and "real" it cannot possibly equate to "fun". That of course is merely a matter of opinion to which you are entitled. However I think the real stickler is that your applying the word "realism" to the...

Honestly after the crap that was shoveled to me that was Invisible War the cyberpunk noir vibe I'm getting from this game really excites me. I want this game to be good, do good and give me an honest to god reason to put money into a new computer.

I think part of this massive dichotomy stems from two things. 1. All we have from Mr. Funk (heh) is his word. Sadly we didn't see him play all through the weekend. And I didn't pay much attention so I'm not entirely sure whether he got a review copy or one he got from the local best buy or...

Oddly enough I agree with Biowares RPG philosophy but I think they're wrong when they say that MMO's have no point and forget the story. With Wrath of the Lich King Blizzard took a fairly bold step in that direction. With in-game cinematics, and player participation in some rather large...

Sad to hear. On the bright side if it take a while they might run this thing again in the future and give others a chance.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Raise your hand if you've ever seen or ever want to see Far Cry in theatres?

I think Dead Space deserves more credit then it gets. Yes, it has cheap scares, yes it seems to emphasize combat more than evasion (a real shame but there you go). But it's full of atmosphere. The ship you're on literally seems to crawl and breath at times. I think the problem with the story...

Huh, well I was surprised by this. I probably shouldn't mention I was ready to go off on a rant when I read the quote. By the sounds of it it seems Mr. Ebert should actually play said games before forming such a public opinion It's kind of like me saying that nascar racing is easy just by...

Oooooooo, is this going to be a one man show column or can anybody get naked and dance?

Voice different? I'd put it down to sheer exhaustion from the fact he did just open up a place of alcoholic consumption. Oddly enough I think this is the first review I've heard of his that makes me want to actually play the game without horrific imagery of a british man having sex with the CD.
