    Am I going to cry at the end of Mass Effect 3? No spoilers!

    There's some really emotional moments. Not even where characters die?just where they share a particular tender moment with Shepard that sums up their bond over the past three years. The ending itself is less likely to make you cry than it is to make you yell, "what the fuck is this...

    Best Game Premises Ever

    That's a good one as well. Short, sweet, to the point, and an instant hit. Welcome to The Escapist, by the way!

    Best Game Premises Ever

    The other day, I remembered Chris Livingston's (creator of the Concerned webcomic) old story of a game whose premise was simply indescribably awesome: Another good one is Xenoblade Chronicles. I've never played it, but between the brief description on Wikipedia and the truly phenomenal box...

    Is the Xbox one going to die a slow and painful death

    Now that the Xbox One has removed most of the things that turned people away (always on online, mandatory Kinect, costing $100 more than the PS4), I think it has a good chance of catching up to the PS4 if it offers better games?and exclusives like Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive sure have my...

    Why is FIFA so popular in the USA recently?

    Simple: football is becoming a lot more popular in America. Thanks to new TV deals and online streaming, it's easier to follow, and harder to avoid, than it's ever been. Heck, at one point during the Liverpool-Chelsea game yesterday, five of the top 10 trending topics on Twitter were related to...

    Started playing Dark Souls, any advice?

    A couple general tips: Don't level Resistance. It's pretty useless. You'll run up on the bridge dragon before too long. (You'll know it when you see it.) While the best way past is to go under the bridge, it's worth making a suicide run to grab the items on the top of the bridge. The...

    Historical periods that are barely ever explored in games

    How about a racing game set in the prewar era? Back then, the cars were powerful and incredibly unsafe, and races were held on everything from wild arrays of public roads to high-speed ovals paved with bricks or wooden boards. It would be a stark departure from every racing game on the market...

    why do people still buy FIFA game?

    I only own FIFA 10, but I play enough FIFA with friends and watch enough FIFA on Youtube (KSIOlajidebt, WeCanFifaHD, etc) that I think I understand each new FIFA is such a consistent seller. Think of it not as a game, but as a subscription service. The FIFA series has extensive online...

    DELETED

    Some people have mentioned Half-Life 2, and I like the Uncharted games, especially the second one, for much the same reason: they break up the shooting with lengthy non-combat sections, whether it be puzzles, platforming, or just getting to walk around and soak up the atmosphere and the view...

    Coming Around to the Wii U

    Out of curiosity, can you charge the Wii U controller while playing it? If so, how long is the cable used to charge it? I have a PS3 controller that seems to have an unusually short battery life, and the PS3's short charge cable forces you to sit uncomfortably close to the screen if you want to...

    So Bad It's Brilliant

    It's not often that bad gameplay is funny. I'm thinking that the best examples of funny bad gameplay are games full of glitches, where things like enemies flying into the sky after being hit are a common occurrence. Incidentally, that's probably why every video I've seen of Ride to Hell...

    Why do people get upset when something is over-praised or over-criticized?

    There are seven billion people in the world. With the Internet allowing you to connect to far more people than you ever could before, people are probably more aware than ever of how difficult it is to stand out in such a crowd. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but when your opinion goes...

    Escape to the Movies: Elysium

    Having just seen this movie, I thought there were some plot holes and inconsistencies which made the story somewhat unbelievable: Some spoiler-free inconsistencies: There was some clever product placement in the movie, with several present-day luxury brands appearing on Elysium...

    Gamespot Gives Its Second 1.0/10 Score Ever to Ride to Hell: Retribution

    One look at the Metascore for Ride to Hell: Retribution tells you it's a genuinely terrible game. But Gamespot has surely rocketed it into the pantheon of the worst games of all time by giving the PC version a 1.0/10, a score it shares only with the infamous Big Rigs: Over the Road...

    Most disappointed sequel?

    LittleBigPlanet 2. All Media Molecule did was add new features, and yet the game had none of the original's charm, whimsy, and magic.
