    FFS Blizzactivision

    Activision/Blizzard have bought the ad space on the website. Yes the Escapist said yes to them purchasing it, but some people (like me) totally forgot it was coming out today. So for the hardcore gamers who never forget a release date, it seems overkill but for others its just a nudge towards...

    Paul's Five Favorites of 2012

    I am sososososososooooooo Happy that The Walking Dead is turning up on a LOT of top games of the year, after I finished the game (and stopped crying) I said "That's Game of the Year, no questions asked" and it makes me beyond happy that its the same for others.

    Poll: The "Australian" Tax

    To those saying that "Oh but your minimum wage is higher!" So?? We are paying at minimum $40-$50(even in US dollars) more than you, even digital releases are more expensive. And that takes a hell of a lot less effort. I could deal with maybe 10-20 dollars difference, but the fact that the...

    Question for people Pro-guns....

    Australia heavily outlawed firearms in the 90's and we aren't getting overrun by gun toting criminals. How many massacres will it take for you guys to think "yeah, giving every one a gun is a REALLY bad idea" Answer: A lot it seems.

    Why is Battlefield Premium controversial now again?

    I gotta say I really dont see what the fuss is about, priority server access? So what queue's to get into servers are generally only 1-2 people long (on PC anyway) and you get all the DLC by paying 50 pounds, plus a bit more. It's not a yearly fee or anything its essentially ordering all DLC...

    Diablo 3 Review

    The only thing that annoys me is the lag and the oversimplification of the skill tree. They should have kept it similar to what they had in D2, except more refined, and made it so you had to pay some sort of fee to "unlearn" the skill points" for the new players so they didnt feel trapped if...

    EA Makes Nice With Banned Players

    But how many people do you think have those apps installed that have got outraged over this??? I'm guessing at tops 5% And that used the present tense, as in they STILL have it. Their EULA before was very broad and basically said they could raid your computer for anything and everything, now...

    South Australia Stumbles Over Game Ratings

    Dear South Australia State Government: Stop making the rest of us looks silly Sincerely The other states/territories. EDIT: Actually reading over the laws thoroughly, it more seems that he wants to the MA15+ rating to act as a kind of de-facto 18+ rating until it is actually enacted.

    Turkish Soccer Fans Unfurl World's Biggest Trollface

    Really, I didn't think the Japanese were very fond of baseball? From my own personal experience the US of A is good at 1. Basketball, 2. Baseball 3. American Football and Swimming (for some reason) and they dont tend to excel at "world" sports, i.e. Football (soccer), Rugby and cricket
