    The Big Picture: One Day in November

    Anyone who can't be bothered to wait a few extra hours for a video game probably couldn't have been bothered to do a lot of research to inform their vote. In general, the more voters of that mindset that you take out of the equation, the BETTER the process gets. That said, I don't like the...

    Mass Effect 3 Drops to $29.99

    I paid full price shortly after launch. But for Mass Effect, I don't mind giving the creators their due.

    MPAA President (Sort Of) Tries To Make Peace Over SOPA

    To be fair, in his mind he really is just protecting his interests. When I am wronged, I often find it very easy to desire an immediate, knee-jerk response that may cause harmful side effects for unrelated parties. I imagine that's true for a lot of people. To be certain, piracy does great...

    Can anyone recommend me an action-horror/ survival-horror title?

    Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It's not so heavy on the action, mostly just the horror. You won't actually be fighting things so much as running and hiding from them. But it's very scary. It's basically an evolved version of Penumbra, which is unsurprising considering it was the second...

    Miracle of Sound: Age of the Dragon (Dragon Age 2 Song)

    Dude, where was all that awesome footage when *I* fought the Arashok. He just sort of fell down on the stairs. Why didn't I get to summon fiery hands to rip him apart?

    GDC 2011: First Look at Jurassic Park Gameplay

    I hate to jump on the bad graphics band wagon (in fact, most of the people who are on that bandwagon seem a little shy about being on it) but the imagery of this game fell deep into the uncanny valley. The game's pull is supposed to be that it's an interactive movie in the style of Heavy...

    On Difficulty Levels

    Actually, I think the first game to use the offer to turn the game down if you were getting your ass kicked was Onimusha.

    Review: Alpha Protocol

    Although I was honestly rooting for Obsidian here, I was expecting very little after playing KOTOR II. It seems they just don't know how to finish making a game before releasing it. This bodes poorly for New Vegas.

    LoadingReadyRun: The Gay Chicken

    What was funny about this for me is that Jeremy bears a resemblance to a former roommate of mine, who had a disturbing aptitude for gay chicken. Also, whoever had the idea to have the cat poke its head around the doorframe is a genius!

    id Gets Back to Business: A Preview of Rage

    Doom 3 was pretty derivative (you are a space marine, and you are fighting evil monsters that want to take over the world) but it was still awesome. more importantly, the *reason* it was awesome is that when it comes to level design, enemy placement, combat mechanics, lighting, artwork, and...

    id Gets Back to Business: A Preview of Rage

    Post-apocalyptic FPS RPG... I have a strong urge to cry "Fallout 3 clone!" but, since it's id, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
