    Game of Thrones: Genesis Trailer Underwhelms

    So some generic looking fantasy strategy game will have cities with names from the books? Weak. I'm concerned that a book/tv series that ranks among the most "gritty" and dark I've dealt with appears so bright. It looks like a step removed from the Age Of Empires Online game.

    PS3 HD collections you want

    I'd like to see a Dark Cloud combo remake. I kinda hate myself for liking these HD bundles as much as I do. I could also go for a Devil May Cry collection.

    Sony Defends "Welcome Back" Reward Choices

    I'm not too excited about the game options. I already finished InFamous and already own LBP1. The other psn stuff, meh. I'll be getting Dead Nation and Stardust. I would have preferred to just get a credit for the store to use as I see fit. They're giving us a cash value in games and some...

    Depressing skittles

    It's not about being sad or funny. It's about being memorable. If you can remember a product and the commercial it was featured in, that's a win.

    lets talk about toys

    Legos for the win. Also, I live in Rochester (the town in which the Hall of Fame is located.) They even have a cool timeline of video games exhibit!

    Poll: I'm going to buy Mortal Kombat Used just out of Spite.

    Some of the incentives for buying new work for me. I bought DA:O new to get access to Shale. They provided me an incentive to do something, I did it, they got their money. However, without Shale I would have still enjoyed the core of the game. I read this MK crap as "punishing a used-game...

    Poll: Who WEARS wrist watches anymore?

    I need to keep time at work but cannot use a cell phone, thus I wear a watch. I also happen to like the way it looks. As simple as it is to check my phone it's even easier to flip my wrist and look.

    Console Wars, has it gone a bit too far?

    It could just be the company I keep but I feel like I hear less fanboyism now than I did a few years ago. I'm hopeful that people are beginning to get over it. I think we've heard all the arguments pro/con each system by now.

    Poll: How do you say someone is not Alive?

    It all depends on the context. The more recent or immediate emotional connection I have to a person who has died the more likely I am to use gentler language like passed away. For someone who I don't feel any connection to it's almost always "he/she died." Dead/Death/Die are all very stark...

    Dead Space Movie Still Kicking, Says Director

    If they could combine The Thing, Pandorum and Alien into a movie and call it Dead Space I might be entertained. However, for now I will remain quietly skeptical and enjoy one of my favorite game IPs of this generation.

    Capcom Plans Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica Revival

    I approve rehashing old games onto modern consoles for trophy hunting and historical appreciation purposes.

    Things that you never use in games

    Instruction manuals. That is unless they have some lore/character profiles and I'm low on poop reading material.

    Poll: How many of you still play games on a standard definition TV?

    I'm kinda hoping to wait until my current SD dies to pick up an HD. I figure the price can only go down for what I'm looking for, no 3d or fancy internet doo-dads.

    The funniest game ever

    For me "funny" games tend to wear a little thin and I prefer to be surprised by funny moments in more serious games like DA: Origins, some of the sharp writing. I do remember laughing way more than necessary during Uncharted 2 when in one of the first few levels you're infiltrating a museum...

    Have I played every good starwars game?

    What was the old fps called? Dark Forces or some such? Pretty solid if I remember it.
