I think the reason for markers is because we are often unable to ask NPCs where given objects/buildings/people are. I feel like games should allow us to ask basic questions that a normal person could ask. If you allowed this sort of question, objective markers become unnecessary in many cases.

Oh my god. He's a genius. It is the next half life isn't it?

I just want to say that Ready Player One was awesome, and it made me want to play MMOs. Then I remembered that 90% of the story has nothing to do with MMOs mechanics presently, but even so brought me back to the old .hack sign days.

I couldn't agree more, the guard's body and expression had nothing to do with what he was saying. Granted that could be because they changed the line for the trailer or something. Which begs the question of why they didn't just cut in a different section entirely. It isn't like we know what...

Best example I can think of: Age of Empires II. I work at a University and a student was just caught for pirating the aforementioned game a few weeks ago and it got me wanting to play the game again. It wasn't on Steam or GOG so I googled it. Turns out it isn't available except in freaking...

6 Hours and $60? Do they really expect that to sell in February? Does anyone else feel like this could be listed as downloadable DLC for 15-30 and sell much much better?

Completely wonderful, great capture by Justin as well. Easily stands up with Sovengarde Song.

Thanks, I was really excited about this game, but I'm more hesitant after reading all the reviews. Combat still looks awesome, but review after review says the RP of the RPG is lacking. Still on the fence, I'll probably hold off until it drops in price. $60 is still a ton of money.

I don't usually complain about this sort of thing, but the one question I really wanted answered in this review was pertaining to the sidequests. In any huge RPG like Amaleur, sidequests are going to take up a lot of time. In early reviews (as well as the aforementioned streaming) the...

I loved this column, and not just because I have fond memories of playing baseball as a kid. I think the middle section about not using cheap tactics could be its own article. Do you know a way of getting strangers to not use these tactics? It is amazing how things like the "noob tube" used...

Great episode, I have to say I was a critic of your early episodes on the escapist since I couldn't really figure out if you were serious or not, but now I look forward to it every week. Also everyone should check out CPG Grey's video on copyright on his youtube channel. He goes into the basis...

I was really disappointed with midnight in paris, with the exception of Dali almost all the characters from the past are one-offs which makes the movie really unfinished. Plus there is a little too much deus ex machina (cough journal cough).

My biggest issue with these studies is that everyone knows "someone" who plays too many videogames. Because "too many" is completely subjective. My mother thought I played too much if I played more than a minute on a school night, and definitely thinks I played too much at other times in my...

I remember when the Extra Credits guys read this on one of there videos. It shocked me to see the contrast between Electronic Arts and EA if you get where I'm going.

I don't know when I read this sort of chart I always wonder: if these are specifically sales results...how many people are playing the games? I know XBOX live tracks that sort of thing, but I definitely see Just Dance 3 as a gift over Skyrim for the demographic that might not play it.
