    Elder Scrolls Online Hands-On Preview

    While I've not been a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls series in the past, I've been forced to pay attention to it since my sister is a huge fan. (Plus, two of her college pals worked on Skyrim, so really, no getting away from it.) That said, I am now going to have to take a closer look at the MMO...

    Why all the hate for Mr Caffeine?

    Then we would all have been better served if he'd shut his trap more often than not in between demos/trailers.

    Why all the hate for Mr Caffeine?

    If he kept things going so well, then how did the Ubi presser wind up going over and causing Sony's to start 20 minutes late as a result?

    Zero Punctuation: Brink

    AC is nowhere near as vomit-inducing from phantom motion-sickness as M-Edge is, either. Just sayin'. *shrugs*

    Zero Punctuation: Brink

    Initially, I was intrigued by the idea of Brink, simply because the premise seemed like an great setup for some interesting Bioshock-esque gameplay of the "thinking man" variety. Then I saw the trailers, and said, "Please. If I want to do all that, I'll just fire up TF2." (Better haul that...

    L.A. Noire Review

    *raises hand* Um, I'm a self-proclaimed Bioware junkie and I play FPS with my friends every Sunday and Monday. I also had this game on pre-order since it was first announced, because I love old movies, especially film noir. Way to make sweeping generalizations when you don't have all the...

    L.A. Noire Review

    I thought it was just me. The faces feel slightly off, and I can tell now that you've mentioned it that it's because of the same problem nearly every game (except Uncharted) has: Body language not matching facial/voice cues. Not only that, did anyone else notice that most of the ladies looked...

    L.A. Noire Review

    Ditto. Thank goodness for this feature, or it would take 3 times as long to get those interrogations to 100%. It's not exactly necessary in order to complete the game, but I feel uneasy about putting the wrong person in jail for something /I/ did wrong. Bad juju, that.

    Editor's Note: DIY

    Like I needed another reason to love you, man. You have voiced EVERYTHING I have EVER felt in regard to Obsidian Entertainment. Thank you.

    Q: How much coffee do you drink a day? A: ...too much? ;)

    Spike VGA's is still retarded

    That'd be an improvement, though, don't you think?

    Spike VGA's is still retarded

    Oh, dear lordy, I know. I was sitting with the hubs, his best friend, and the best friend's girlfriend when that part played. The best friend's GF doesn't even play many games (works three jobs; no time), and even she said, "Wait. . .what?" *facepalm* I'm sure Olivia Munn is a very...

    Spike VGA's is still retarded

    No offense taken. My point was, this was supposed to be a video game awards show; what we actually got was a whole lot of announcements and slightly-related unimportant crap.

    Spike VGA's is still retarded

    THIS. I have a few friends who work for Uber Entertainment, and their game Monday Night Combat was up for Best Downloadable Game. I begged my husband's best friend to Tivo the VGAs (I had to work; stupid holiday retail schedule) so I could see if they won. Guess what? The category wasn't...

    Spike VGA's is still retarded

    The biggest problem I see is they're trying to emulate the MTV Movie Awards and failing miserably. (Not saying that particular awards show is good or bad; haven't watched it in years, so I have no way of knowing if the quality has tanked.) NPH is a fairly funny guy. I like him a great...
