They left with much less of a bang, and more so a whimper. Their last 'good' game was The Demon Stone, and only because I'm an R.A. Salvatore fanboy. Although, I do acknowledge that if it weren't for them, Bioware never would have remade Neverwinter Nights...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Activision had nothing to do with KotORII. I think you're thinking of LucasArts. I'll concede that the ending of KotORII was absolutely abhorrent, but I found the prestige classes added a bit to the gameplay, and the game itself is stable now. The Kreia character...

First off, I think it's unfair to point to one game as the defining game of a generation. I'm the first the point out the many problems of Bioshock, so I'm not being an apologist. But I think your complaints are misdirected, it was the mainstream press that gave it all the undue praise. I...

He has never swayed my opinion on a purchase, but that's because I usually form my own opinions on a game, rather than have someone else do it for me. I'm fairly stubborn in that regard, but I'm like that because, most reviewers are seemingly less critical than I am. Or at the very least, have...

Well, I kinda did like Behind Enemy Lines, the action sequences anyway, so maybe it won't be so bad. But I highly doubt there's going to be any direct referencing to source material in regards to style (comic book style interstitials, inner monologues, etc.)

Ditto, but Riccitiello has done enough self-reprimanding for the past weeks, now it's time to put up, or shut up. On a semi-related note, I don't think the recent outspokenness of Riccitiello is any coincidence, given the recent merger of ActiBlision, no doubt that lit a fire under them...

I wish they made a bigger statement in leaving in a mass exodus, and starting a brand new website, or better yet, teaming up with Revision3 to do a proper gaming oriented show. I see this as them leaving with their tails between their legs.

What a horribly titled, and worded, article. Koga basically already said this but: No direct references to the article? No credibility. Typical tabloidist journalism.

Ditto to the people who play Dawn of War, IL was co-developing. This is a huge bummer to me, Titan Quest was by far the best Diablo-clone to date, and a solid game in it's own right.

I was really turned off by it, I'm not one to be offended, or one who cares about political correctness, so that can't be it. But it's the fact that they're trying to make more of something, that simply can't be taken like that from an emotional level. Is the Halo story compelling? In my case...

Saw a video of this a long while ago, though you've reminded me to continue my search for one, cause it's fucking bad ass.

I dunno, I didn't think this one was that great. That may be because the Bioshock one blew me out of the water and I had some high expectations, oh well, maybe the next one will get me.

Co-sign on Jagged Alliance, Crusader, and BG&E. Also add in Freespace 2.

I'm glad a video game publication finally had the balls to point out the game's deficiencies (albeit in a fairly tongue-in-cheek manner). If you want a summation of the games strong points, look up any other game website, because they're all busy drooling over the game, claiming it as the best...

Dear Yahtzee, I fucking love you, pretty much everything you've said, I've been saying to other people who are all 'Zomg! Bioshock!". Thank you for pointing out the game's deficiencies in a way that's simple, charming, and above all, hilarious. I myself am much too blunt.
