    4 Reasons Why The Mass Effect 3 Debate Refuses to Die

    My main problem with ME1 was the atrocious Mako. I love that game, but every time it makes me go into the Mako I want to throw my controller out of the window and kill small furry woodland creatures (won't anyone think of the small woodland creatures?!) ME2 and 3 had different tones and I do...

    Help me understand what everyone loves about Guild Wars 2!

    I'm a longtime gamer who has spent a lot of time in different MMO's. Don't worry, this post is not going to turn into one of those "hidden bashing of another MMO"-threads, at least that's not my intent. :) My current love is the secret world, mostly because I love the lore, setting and (very...

    Funcom Blames MetaCritic For Share Price Drop

    At first, I didn't want to try this game because it was a mmorpg and that turns me off. But the Chtulhu/Conspiracy-modern world theme just kept calling to me and at last I opened the wallet anyway. First couple of hours I felt cheated. The combat felt clunky and I was quite "meh". I mean, the...

    CD Projekt Does Witcher 2 DLC Right, Makes It All Free

    I was interested in The Witcher (1) a while ago and bought it on Steam. I'm a big RPG fan, but the witcher didn't really scratch my itch in the right way. It was missing something for me, but I couldn't put my finger on what. Because of this, I decided not to get The Witcher 2 when I first...

    Japanese Coder Creates Predator Kinect Hack

    So he modded the camera to...not include him in pictures? Wait...what? Look, this is cool and awesome and all (and mad props to the guy for doing this, it's seriously badass)...but I fail to see any real application of this, even as a game?

    Review: Music Game Roundup

    I had a lot of fun with the old DJ hero, however I got the general feeling that the controller couldn't really keep up with the songs. It started glitching pretty early on (which is strange since I'm -really- careful with my videogames and accessories) and playing on higher difficulties with it...

    APB Is Dead; Long Live APB

    I find this quite interesting since EA was giving out free games as a "bribe" to people complaining that APB was shut down. I myself got a free copy of bad company 2 this way. I wonder if I can still play APB if it re-surfaces even though I got a free replacement-game for it.... :) Not that I...

    Zero Punctuation: Dead Rising 2

    I have to say that I was _very very very_ suspicious about this game. When I first got an xbox I got dead rising (1) because people said it was really good. I hated the game. When I heard that there was a sequel in the works I really didn't care. (I actually made some face and said something...

    Is Medal of Honor Offensive ?

    Real war is offensive to me. That people can be so stupid as to think that anything good can come from wanton destruction - that offends me as a human being. I respect "the soldiers fighting for our freedom" and all that jazz, but I seriously think that if a conflict have to be resolved by...

    Blizzard Battle.Net E-Mail Scam?

    Justice League Movie Unlikely Due to "Bigger" Roster Than Marvel's

    Once upon a time there actually was a justice league TV movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_League_of_America_(TV_movie) It was really, really, really, bad.

    Planescape: Torment Comes to GOG

    This is the best RPG ever made. I cannot believe... I cannot believe I'm still here typing in this thread. *goes off to GOG.com*

    EA Offering Some Compensation to APB Players

    I just tried talking to EA's customer support, and lo and behold even though I'd actually played a couple hours of APB they gave me a free copy of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 without any real trouble. That was certainly not what I had expected to get today...and I'm not sure how I'm going to...
