    Valve Cut Nausea-Inducing Wall-Walking Gel From Portal 2, Reveals Writer

    I think it's a great thing to worry about. If someone buys portal, they should be able to take it home and enjoy it - not get sick from all the movement in the game. People can have motion sickness to some degree and still like FPSes. It doesn't sound like valve was catering to people with...

    Valve Cut Nausea-Inducing Wall-Walking Gel From Portal 2, Reveals Writer

    Tag - the game about using liquids (bouncy, speedy, and sticky) that was developed as a student project for DigiPen Institute of Technology, then incorporated into Portal 2 after valve hired the team behind it - had this feature. I'm glad they dropped it in favor of having the white gel (at...

    Valve Giving PS3 Owners Two Copies of Portal 2 For the Price of One

    Everyone that owns a PS3 and PC should just buy the PS3 version and whala... a copy for each.

    Agreed. I hope they're that accurate at least...

    Should I get Dead Rising 2 or Left 4 Dead 2?

    It depends, do you want multiplayer or singleplayer? They're both great games - but each is really centered around only one of those.

    Half Life 2: In Perspective

    I've never thought of her as a "side-kick"... that term is usual a demeaning term that implies that they are inferior to the person they are with. She is a primary character in the story who just happens to stick with Gordon for certain parts of the game. She always handles her own and I've...

    WTF JAPAN THIS IS WHY I HATE YOU

    QUEENS BLADE IS ON PSN...???? WHAT THE FUCK... Seriously, that Anime is one tentacle short of a Hentai. Hell, in the second season one girl has a STAFF THAT TENTACLE RAPES HER (my fiancee watches it... lol) The entire thing is just an excuse to show loads of T&A in a fantasy setting.

    Why are FPS gamers against motion controls?

    True, if the controls are implemented well enough I suppose it would somewhat become a matter of taste. I would recommend one thing though, when aiming with analog sticks make sure you move your body and not just your head (use both sticks when aiming). I find this makes aiming with analog...

    Why are FPS gamers against motion controls?

    I was using that as an example. As to your last point, video games will never perfectly mimic real life because that's not the point. I don't play a video game to practice my rifle aiming abilities, I play it to have fun and relieve stress. Also, many FPSes have ironsight aiming if that's...

    Why are FPS gamers against motion controls?

    There are a number of reasons. First of all is precision, despite what you said motion controls are MUCH less precise. You mention pointing at the screen which you claim would be more accurate. Would you mind telling my how you would move or turn your body in game? At most you might have one...

    You know what i hate?

    It works that way at certain stores. But those stores would not factor into this rant as they don't have the plastic wrap on them, just a sticker after they put the game in.

    You know what i hate?

    This too. Seeming as there are laws against copying software, stores only allow you to bring back a sealed version (otherwise you could copy). With some stores you can still trade it in, but not at full value.

    You know what i hate?

    To make it at least marginally harder for thieves to steal it from the store. Yes you can use a box cutter or razor, but that still takes more time and is more noticeable than just opening the box and grabbing the game. Trust me, there are ALOT of people out there who jack them - even with...
