I -love- attention to the small details in games. I recently started to play GTA 5 and am blown away by all the little things that Rockstar added to the game for no reason other than to add flavour. Things like the car radios inside the car showing you what channel you're on, or the believable...

Keep in mind that the Aussie Dollar tanked in the last few months. As a New Zealander, I've certainly felt the sting of our economies both losing a lot of value in a short amount of time. The buying price for Iron has dropped a fair bit (though its still higher than it has ever been) and since...

Gawd there are a few. Syndicate's remake did an amazing job of painting the world I think, as well as providing a lot of interesting hints as to what was going on behind the shallow story you were presented with. Yes the 20th century version exists, and yes it can still be played, but i'll be...

My avatar is a Pilot from Titanfall, along with his Atlas in the background. A friend of mine does art commsissions, and offered to do one for super cheap to make a decent avatar image. So, I went with this. Titanfall may have fallen off the face of the earth pretty soon after its launch, but...

I for one am looking forward to this, though i'm cautiously optimistic about how well it will do after f2p drops. Honestly, I wasn't aware people had an issue with the cartoony art style. To me it adds its own charm to the game world, and makes everything feel more 'alive' due to the far greater...

As unpopular as this may be, but the guy does actually have a good point that he's making. Having some of the newly made content on disk in order to keep download sizes down, or to help integrate new content into the gamer easier is -not- a bad thing, and no doubt people would jump on the hate...

Okay so, here's a thing. Most plots in games that are praised for having a good story are honestly not that good. Even take something like Spec Ops: The Line, if you looked at -only- its plot then its not really that big of a deal. The big thing that sets stories apart is not their plot, its...

Man, I have a heap of games that I've started but never seen through. I used to pride myself on finishing games, but I guess now I just don't generally have enough spare time to mess around doing something I don't enjoy in order to get to the 'good bits'. Valkyria Chronicles was a game I...

I threw other down as my opinion, and let me just say why. Never in my life have I ever played a Bethesda game to meet interesting characters, or to experience a grand story. I can not care less if the character is voiced or not, and wouldn't lose sleep over it staying or going. I see the...

Honestly, yes. There are lots of games I think should not exist. However, most of these games aren't on the consoles, nor are they on PC. They're on mobile devices. The sheer number of games out there that have been made -purely- to extort people into spending huge amounts of money on inapp...

For everyone getting upset about the whole 'my game counted for nothing', here's some food for thought. How much do we know about the game? The information we have is from a -teaser- trailer. A trailer made to get people talking, not to show us what the game is like. Not once, -anywhere-, has...

Alrighty then! -The most fun I've had in a fps was in Titanfall! -I cringe far more than I should at super unrealistic fantasy arms and armour! -I think Dark Souls feels rushed and unpolished, despite it being one of my favourite games! -I don't get people getting super angry about...

Elite Dangerous takes the cake for me. If the tutorial has been made better, then that's great. But it only really gives you enough direction to do the most -basic- of tasks, like flying in space and docking in stations. Whats this? This quest says 'kill pirates'. Okay, cool. Sure is a shame...

I believe it started having things really happening in 2011. I also got my timeframe wrong, as it has apparently been boosted to 'Smokefree 2025' instead of 2020. My bad there. But yeah. The price of cigarettes goes up by about $2 a year, and will probably keep on rising. At the moment, the...

Well, its a tactic here in New Zealand. Its done in Aussie as well, and its done in quite a few other nations across the globe. Why? If I had to guess, the free healthcare costs outweigh the tax income that would be made from the cigarettes. Does it work? Honestly, yes. Our smoking rate is at...
