    Deponia Studio Unveils Blackguards

    My only question is this: Are they pronouncing Blackguard correctly? Because it's not pronounced blak-gahrd as everyone seems to think.

    EA Turns Its Back on Single-Player Games

    So what, the fact that in 2011 companies were printing money to the likes of Skyrim, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Batman Arkham City and Witcher 2 and that recently the makers of Spec Ops: The Line called the inclusion of multiplayer in their game a "cancerous growth" means nothing to EA?

    Jimquisition: Let's End the FPS Sausage-fest

    "near future and science fiction shooters above all else" Ok so she's not playable, but Crysis 2, one of the highest ranking most badass military personnel and protagonists featured in the game is Tara Strickland.

    George Lucas Says Greedo Always Shot First

    His accuracy is just as bad between situations 1 and 2, the only difference is whether or not he even tried to shoot Han. The fact that he fired did show us how bad his accuracy was, but since we can safely assume that it was that bad in the original edit, we just didn't see it, then the Greedo...

    George Lucas Says Greedo Always Shot First

    I'm really sick of this trope because the edit literally did nothing to change the character of Han Solo. Look at the time differential, it's under half a second between shots in the current form which means Han was NOT reacting to being shot at. He made the decision to shoot without knowing he...

    What makes Bioshock One so amazing?

    It's very much the story. I don't want to give any spoilers. Suffice it to say, would you kindly continue playing the game.

    What makes Bioshock One so amazing?

    What's with the virus?

    You are killed by the last weapon you used in the last game you played.

    Pregnant teen who drinks 32 units of alcohol a week

    Assuming the baby dies, this would be an interesting one for the Darwin Awards. She removed herself from the gene pool by being so stupid she compulsively kills her child.

    Poll: what's your favorite show on the Escapist?

    Point at which I started liking the Jimquisition "...because that's what we do here at the Jimquisition; we save lives." Also the image in the profile looks a little like Patrick Wilson.
