    Poll: If they made a "Halo Battlefield" game, would you play it?

    I'm pretty sure it wasn't so that we'd have alien enemies, it was just because the Prometheans didn't provide enough variety to be the only enemies - they have knights (elites), crawlers (grunts and sniper jackals) and watchers. They don't even have a heavy support equivalent to hunters, nor do...

    Poll: Do you think there could ever be a zombie apocalypse?

    If it spread solely through bites from infected then it wouldn't be a problem - you can't puncture skin through leather with your teeth. Wear full motorcycle gear and you should be fine, but realistically even assuming zombies could move at full human speed, they're unarmed and working without...

    You are the last person on Earth. What is your daily routine after the initial shock wears off?

    First, have a massive meal of all the perishable stuff that will never exist again. Drive into the city to stock up on things like non-perishable food and a extra few books on survival/car maintenance/road maps of the entire country/anything else useful. Come back home, spend a few days eating...

    Why I Fear The Fall of Xbox One

    I think Mass Effect came out for the PS3 too? It'd be a shame to lose Halo if I end up switching, but for me Gears was over with gow3.

    You Find $2,000 on the Sidewalk...

    Concerning how far I needed to scroll to find someone saying this. 2 grand is an extremely big deal for pretty much everyone. Assuming it's £2000 for simplicity, that's like 8% of the average persons annual salary after tax. Unless I was desperately in need of money (as in starving, at risk of...

    So does anybody want to be my friend?

    I'm afraid I have enough friends already, but I do have an opening for a new nemesis if you fancy it? Ideal if you happen to be a deformed megalomaniac.

    Poll: Star Wars Collection - 2013 66% off on steam. Worth it for a non star wars fan?

    Personally I'd give the bundle a miss, but some of the individual games are well worth picking up if you missed them the first time around. I'm a big fan of Kotor 1&2 in particular, Battlefront is good particularly with others (but I'm not sure what the online community for it is like nowadays).

    Poll: What's so bad about ME3's ending?

    People love to complain. It was alright, a bit of a disappointment considering the 80ish hours I'd put into that particular playthrough, but definitely not bad enough to ruin what was a very good game. The problem is they painted themselves into a corner of having all your previous choices...

    So how do you feel about Margaret Thatcher's death

    Go ahead, you have the right to peaceful protest and all that, but bear in mind that every Westborough Baptist member who pickets the funeral of a dead soldier hides behind the argument that they're "picketing what [he] represents". Justify it however you want, your being at the funeral won't...

    So how do you feel about Margaret Thatcher's death

    Yep, he is by definition probably a terrorist, but once you give someone a Nobel Peace prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and just about every other award under the sun, people get touchy when you actually use the word terrorist. In his defence the government he was launching a bombing...

    So how do you feel about Margaret Thatcher's death

    Well he led an organisation in an armed struggle against the government of South African which involved quite a large bombing campaign. At the time she wanted to work with the group in power to change the regime through peaceful methods, whereas Mandela thought more extreme measures were needed...

    So how do you feel about Margaret Thatcher's death

    She did what she thought was right for the country. All of her methods, although extreme and they caused the unemployment of more than a few, were done with the aim of economic prosperity in the long run. Her actions were always with the best of intentions, so I bare no malice towards her...

    Why I love Nintendo

    I wish they'd went a different direction with their next-gen console as I quite like Nintendo, but I get the feeling that when the other, most powerful consoles are released the Wii U will fall back into the Wii's role of being a platform for occasional casual gaming. I just have no interest in...

    Poll: Will you buy an Xbox 720?

    I'll wait to hear what both consoles are offering, then make an informed decision based on the facts. To do anything else seems like an incredibly poor idea.

    Poll: How do you feel about the denial of EA being the Worst Company in America?

    It's not evil, but it's certainly quite a bad company from a consumer standpoint. I don't like them but I won't boycott their games over it. It's not like they're going to use the money to take over the world or anything. To mbkgen, people's issue with Origin isn't that it's a rival to steam...
