    Christian Bale Explains the Origins of His Bat-Voice

    They (mostly) did such a good job in those movies of making as "realistic" a Batman as you could ever expect, that the utter lunacy of the voice just completely knocked me out of the fantasy, every single time. I liked the first half of the first film (the non-Batman portion, basically), and...

    Christian Bale Explains the Origins of His Bat-Voice

    For what it's worth some people, such as myself, can't stop laughing at how preposterously ridiculous he sounds every time he opens his mouth. I think it's the dumbest possible voice that could have been chosen for Batman, and every time I hear it I have a primal urge to beat Bale in the face...

    Some AC IV Single-Player Content Unavailable Without Online Pass

    I don't know how a sane person could ever possibly say that, but it IS Halloween, so I'm going to assume you're one of them there undead, freshly risen, who thinks Steam is just something that makes your rotted zombified skin smell like mould. ;) I kid, I kid. But seriously, what do you...

    Some AC IV Single-Player Content Unavailable Without Online Pass

    Yarr, mateys. I be thinkin' that Ubisoft be done hoistin' their own black flag, and sailin' with the intent o' pillagin' yer wallets! In all me years o' sailin', this here be the dirtiest trick I'd ever done seen. Davey Jones be rollin' over in his locker, methinks. Yarrrrr. A pox on...

    New Final Fantasy Launches on iOS Today

    The price point is certainly better than their previous iOS offerings, but I'm still confused. I keep hearing there's no story, which would lead me to believe this is just hours and hours of turn-based combat with nothing else to offer. I always found myself tolerating the combat system in...

    EA Refuses to Bring Crysis 3 to Wii U

    I just snorted tea through my nose. Just like the Wii U, your comment is great for a laugh! Thank you! XD

    GOG Delivers a Holiday Freebie

    Dangit. I walked in for the free Duke Nukem, and I walked out with a bag full of WITCHER 2. My wallet hates me, and Steam hasn't even launched their holiday sale yet... I'm doooooooooooooomed!!!

    Update: BioWare Teases Release Date for Next Mass Effect

    Agreed. I'd love to see a game based around CSEC. The citadel is plenty large enough. Maybe make it an LA Noire detective style game. It could have some real potential. Just no more "save the galaxy" type plot. I thiink it's safe to say we're collectively good without more of those for awhile.

    Valve Plans Living-Room Gaming PCs for 2013

    C'mon, I know it's all "cool" to hate on EA and Origin, but that is patently untrue. You can actually take games keys for games that were NOT purchased on Origin and use them to unlock an available game on Origin without paying anything extra. WHY you would want to do that, I don't know...

    New Writer Assumes Direct Control of Mass Effect Film

    I oh so very politely disagree with a few of your points (which I condensed into a spoiler tag above for brevity). Allow me to discuss a few of them... now. They've already succeeded at doing Mass Effect sans Shepard. The books Karpshyn wrote were fantastic - and all of them were Sans...

    Assassin's Creed: Utopia Is a City Building Sim

    They missed an opportunity to connect these games. Let the city we build in the iOS game be ported into AC3, or let the things you do in AC3 reflect over to the building sim. I've been spoiled by ME3 connecting with the mobile apps. 8(

    EA Turns Its Back on Single-Player Games

    Wow, took a while, but there ARE other people who didn't jump into the "EA hates single player games!" boat. I absolutely loved the ME3 datapad. It gave me the codex on the go so I didn't have to spend my gaming time going through it, AND... I have no shame in saying this, but I thought the...

    Dear Esther Creator: It's a Bit Like Minecraft

    My intent wasn't to insult you, but you're really not helping your cause any when you call this guy an idiot for having an opinion, make a statement that can only be proven accurate by arguing semantics, and then telling me I'm wrong by arguing said semantics, instead of simply explaining where...

    Dear Esther Creator: It's a Bit Like Minecraft

    It's cool that you didn't like it, but trying to argue whether it's a game is like trying to iceskate uphill. At what point is something a game? Who is the arbiter for that? It controls like a game, saves/loads like a game, you make choices in where to go... is it because you don't kill...

    Dear Esther Creator: It's a Bit Like Minecraft

    From one human to another, don't tell someone they're "wrong by definition" and then jump into why by arguing the semantics of what YOU SAID, not what they said. It makes you look like a stupid meany jerkface. By definition, everything I said - as I said it - is true, and I stand by it. 8P...
