None of the above - in games like Battlefield, I'm one of those sneaky fuckers who humps over a hill on the edge of the map with a Carbine and walks up behind you when you spawn, taking a minute to aim at the back of your skull before obliterating it with a rapid-fire stream of hot lead.

(Note: I've ignored all posts after the OP in replying here because I'm too tired to be assed reading four pages. Got it? Right.) This is something I've seen quite a few times. Nowadays, I shoot shotguns competitively at a local gun club (quite proficiently), but back when I was a...

When somebody asks me why I think it's going to suck, I simply point to Silent Hill: Origins. I picked it up for my PSP, expecting the same quality game I'd gotten out of numbers 2 and 4 (never got a chance to fully play through 3, and finding a copy in my hometown is apparently hell). Instead...

Very well written, great points, and kept me entertained the whole way through. Love the cynicism! Keep it up, man! -WD

This is one of the few things I absolutely despise about gaming culture: Doom-sayers. They remind me of the idiots we saw around the turn of the new millennium, who many regarded with mixed looks of contempt, pity, and annoyance, wondering what kind of sick smack-addicted existence they had as...

Within comings months I'm moving to Australia, and can safely say that it doesn't bother me in the least. Then again, I'm one of those guys who will just buy it for American prices (either before I leave or over the Internet) and play it on the PS3 that is moving there with me (even though it's...

I'll agree with this statement, kinda, but imagine if they just remade EXACTLY the same game, just adding ragdoll, and better graphics with normal mapping, blah blah blah. Chances are its sales would be ridiculous as all hell. But if it had a different title, or a slightly different set of maps...

Heh, yeah, guess that was a weak attempt to placate the Wii-fanboys, but I have yet to see even PS3 fans care if the SIXAXIS is really ragged on, so didn't bother with a disclaimer there. -WD, PS3 Owner

To be honest, I don't remember many of Rare's titles, but the one that I'll never forget is GoldenEye. As a teenager, staying up 'til 4am with three buddies, throwing Remote Mines at each other and planting them in little traps all over the Facility level in DeathMatch... Oh, those were the days.

Since the launch of the Wii, motion sensitive controls have been a big topic of discussion. For example, a thread I just went through talking about the implications of motion sensitivity in the supposed Dead Rising port coming to the Wii, where some users were theorizing how Capcom could "do...

My favorite variant on normal gameplay: doing as much of the assassination missions in a helicopter as possible, without leaving it (though when you have to enter a building, not much you can do). For example: You are to go find Mr. Random Guy and kill him. You are informed he is in a...

Saint's Row is the only one that really comes to mind. It had solid gameplay, a decent combat system (by no means perfect, but better than the load of shit found in most other GTA wannabe games), and a nice car customization system which admittedly I was disappointed to see absent in GTA IV...

Truly interesting, Russ. I've been a fan of Apocalyptic fiction for some time now, going back to the days of Mad Max, I Am Legend (the book), Death Lands, etc. It's refreshing to see this revival of the genre (with the promise of Fallout 3 in the coming Fall). I'll be keeping an eye out for more...

Honestly, I have a hard time imagining a hardcore gamer really enjoying any of Uwe Boll's movies. Every game movie he's done so far (the three that I can remember immediately off-hand are Blood Rayne [1 & 2] and House of the Dead) were all absolute shit. The acting was bad, the camera was...

Oh man, the title of this just grabbed my attention like a random nudist running at full speed through my cubicle-crammed work place; interesting, but unexpected to the point where I damn near fell out of my chair! If it seriously made you lose weight, you must have either a.) forgotten to...
