    Games, DLCs and Complete editions

    I also stand against the current norm for DLC. I like the way things were back in the day. You had the original game and perhaps an expansion that required it. You either had one or both games. There was no fussing about with synchronizing every possible combination for multiplayer, no fussing...

    Aliens Vs. Predator (the 2010 fps, not the old one)...

    I believe they over-hyped their game too much. I remember seeing a video where they talked about the new survivor mode that was going to be awesome and just like the one in AVP1. The fact is the one in AVP1 was awesome. You had plenty of maps with a good variety of closed and open spaces not...

    Aliens Vs. Predator (the 2010 fps, not the old one)...

    Since it was requested here's my AVP 3 review: I believe this game to be a disappointment. There’s a pronounced lack of direction, polish and content throughout the game. Seems like the developers didn’t know where to go with this game and they took some parts from the previous games, some...

    Aliens Vs. Predator (the 2010 fps, not the old one)...

    I finished the game and I'm not impressed at all. It has two issues mainly, the first being a lack of clear direction on behalf of the developers, the second a lack of content. By lack of direction I mean lack of cohesion. The game has stuff from the movies and previous games but doesn't...

    GTA IV will have DRM

    It always got released the next year because the console version usually went out in October/November. It was still approximatively 6 months between the console and PC version. The thing is that for this GTA the people who ported it are different than the people who made the game. I...

    Starcraft 2 campaigns to be sold separately

    I don't like this. If there are 26-30 missions per race then StarCraft 2 will have a total of 78-90 missions. StarCraft and Brood war had a total of around 56 and I found it hard to go trough the last missions when it was all a case of: build base and eliminate huge enemy base, rinse and...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky

    Judging from the mixed replies on the official forum it seems that Clear Sky is in the same situation as the first STALKER: works just fine for some while it's an unplayable nightmare for others. It also looks as if they didn't fix many of the small glitches and annoyances of the first one. I'd...

    Tom Chick responds to Wired piece

    If you look around gaming forums you'll see how wide spread disapproval of any negative criticism is. Basically the general consensus is that if you don't like how a game is shaping up you better shut up.

    Polygamia editorializes on Fallout 3

    Ever since these new consoles hit the market journalists started writing dumber and dumber articles. First they couldn't get over calling them "next-gen" years after they where launched, now they're hailing them as the last bastions of gaming while the PC is suffering a slow and painful death...

    No DLC on PS3 for Fo3

    At first MS battled Sony with exclusive games, now it's exclusive DLC. What's next? Exclusive patches?

    Fallout 3 first footage

    Guys, come on. I think it's a waste of time to argue about the agenda of a faction that shouldn't even be in the game.

    Fallout 3 first footage

    Before watching the footage I decided not to take any offense about it trampling all over Fallout. So I watched it like it was a totally new game. Even this wasn't enough to save me from being disappointed. I won't bother saying what I didn't like since it was the same stuff you guys didn't...

    IGN plays Fallout 3 too

    I suspected you were talking abstractly, just wanted to make sure. I don't think there's anyone here that would even find such a thing plausible. Unless of course Bethesda's teddy bears are built like 50s cars: heavy, made to last, with plenty of excess metal. Maybe some are even nuclear...

    IGN plays Fallout 3 too

    I have to contradict you there. Exchanging the object that is thrown with the object that it's thrown at wields different results due to different air resistance and mass. If you throw a rock at a thin sheet of paper you'll pierce it, while if you throw a thin sheet of paper at a rock it...

    IGN plays Fallout 3 too

    Even though I hate that such a thing is in Fallout 3 I'm humored by all this scientific debate regarding teddy bear decapitation. The only thing worse would be if they made the teddy bear catch fire mid flight (due to air friction) and do splash damage on impact, not only decapitating the...
