This was nothing more than a lengthy chunk of marketing copy written as a way of justifying the author's current business strategy. The concept of AAA games going under to be replaced by cheap/free games is just laughable. You really think that people are going to put down Skyrim and pick up...

You're not from the UK are you? I'd suggest avoiding using the Daily Mail as a "valid" source of information for anything you write. Unless you're upper-middle class, white and like to blame the poor and/or foreign people, sex and music for all the world's woes. In response to the actual...

There's always going to be double standards when the social ideal differs from reality. The social ideal for gender equality is that everyone can do everything everyone else can do, which is true to an extent, but it attempts to treat both genders as identical except physically, which is simply...

Family Guy. Jesus Christ Seth McFarlane has lost his touch, with his shitty spinoffs which work on the exact same formula, the increasingly predictable and unfunny cutaway gags and the degeneration rather than progression of all the characters. The further in the program has gone, the more...

Huh. You'd think after many years of having this opinion of Batman and knowing lots of people who do enjoy the franchise, someone would have said this. I've seen various iterations of Batman and he has yet to come across as anything more than an over-zealous vigilante working outside the law...

Mad Dash: Please, for the love of god, let there be another player of this somewhere. I swear I'm the only person ever to have owned or played this game, and since I can no longer play it (Sold my Xbox) I'm beginning to doubt its very existence. A fantastically fun game that, somehow...

I just find myself disliking Matt Damon's roles, although it could be that I came away with mostly negative feelings about the movies he has been in, as much as the actor himself. Having been made by friends to watch the Bourne series and the Oceans trilogy and not enjoying them, it's entirely...

Naming things: It's better when the random "fantasy names" are given a solid context and logic in the same way that real world names have been given. The reason that Tolkien's world was so believable even with the Elvish, Dunedain, Easterlings and so on was he had created a fully functional...

Oh man there's so many I just get irritated seeing. Tom Cruise is on my list of people I really don't want to see in anything, ever. Orlando Bloom I don't see as being as bad as his current reputation suggests, Legolas remains a favourite from the LOTR movies even with him playing the part, and...

I greatly enjoyed the parkour sections in it. The story was a bit mediocre, but I felt it was fairly well executed, and was made far more bearable by the incredibly stark scenery and the great concept for the gameplay. I think it was mostly let down by requiring combat. To begin with, combat...

The Frey family. Especially Lord Walder. Ser Alliser Thorne and his little posse for what they did to Jon Snow. All Lannisters except Tyrion, but especially Cersei. Jaime's not so bad really. The Thalmor of Skyrim. And not a villain, but: Batman. Because fuck someone who thinks that...

It works almost identically to Windows 7..I really don't understand the confusion and dislike for it. Start screen? Fullscreen start menu. You can pin folders, programs and so on as ever. Need to search? Windows key + start typing, same as ever, or open the menu and start typing. The only...

I thought I was a big fan of the Assassins Creed games until I let my girlfriend have a try..she is now onto Brotherhood and utterly addicted. She also really likes Alice Madness Returns, and Pokemon White (she had never played Pokemon before that).

Pretty sure there are loads of games with instant kill drops that still offer an easy mode you know.. Halo series had instant death drops. Skyrim I can jump and fall to my death even with the settings down so low I can kill dragons by saying hurtful things to them. Metro 2033 has areas...

I approve of the sentiment behind playing metal to turn depression into a healthy dose of good mood tinted with anger at the world around you. So without further ado: Aww yiss, that bass. Or maybe: If you want something a little softer to help you deal with all the feels, try:
