    Free games!

    Not really, it only costs around $7 for a month of Vileplanet, so unless you can buy the game for less than $7 it seems worth it to me.

    Auto Assault to die its final death

    These comments almost make sense until you realize that only 3 MMOs have closed down (AC2, E&B, and now AA). The original trio (UO, AC1, and EQ1) are all still open. Even Neocron manages to stay online. Sitting aroubnd worrying that your MMO of choice is going to suddenly shut down is...

    Auto Assault to die its final death

    Why would they? Has any other MMOG gone out of business and given away their code? They spent millions of dollars developing the code for AA and you really expect them to just give it away? Do you still believe in the tooth fairy?

    BioShock in for a bumpy release

    It seems that the activation server is down again, so people who bought the game and need to register it can't do so and can't actually play the game.

    BioShock in for a bumpy release

    1) there have been past games where I avoided a certain patch 2) that isn't really the point, the point is that you can't play your SINGLE PLAYER game if the patch server is unavailable/down

    BioShock in for a bumpy release

    More Bioshock stupidity. There is a patch out now for some launch issues, but the patch servers are down. If you don't have the patch apparently you cannot play the game. I got this off the TTLG forums and tried to confirm on the 2K forums but they are swamped and unavailable. If this is...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I'm currently playing Massive Assault Network 2, a great turn based sci-fi strategy game with pbem style competition between players, and Lord of the Rings Online. I also just picked up UFO Extraterrestrials.

    post apocalyptic flicks?

    What, another remake? We've got Last Man on Earth, the Omega Man, and now this one. So far none of them has been as good as the book but at least the first one tried to stay true to the book. After watching the trailer it looks like the producers bought the book title and threw away the...

    Jason Mical restarts Fallout PnP

    There are plenty of soldiers, armed civilians, road warrior style gang members minatures, etc. on the market, to populate a Fallout game.

    Sneaking in Fallout (FOPNP)

    The issue dogging me right now is Sneak skill and what controlled NPCs being able to notice or not notice the sneaking individual. There is no Perception skill of any kind and adding new skills has problems as the amount of skill points for advancement are fixed. Using the PE stat means that a...

    Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines

    The first 80% or so of VTMB is great, I really enjoyed it. The end is a pointless linear killfest and was boring. Overall the game is still worth playing, though.

    I honestly don't get the Fallout 3 hate.

    I never said what I wanted, if you actually read my post all I did was point out that the main quests in FO1 and 2 were just as restrictive. If you want to pretend I said other things just so you have something to complain about go for it. Only after the patch, not in the game as released.

    Game Critics Awards

    Yeah, giving out awards based on pre-release game videos and such is pretty stupid. I guess it appeals to unsophisticated potential customers.

    Soo...what's for dinner?

    Any canned food that was not exposed to fallout, as in buried or stored underground, would be safe for until the food inside rotted. As to the main question: rat burger.

    I honestly don't get the Fallout 3 hate.

    How is this any more restrictive than FO1 (you must leave the vault to find the water chip) or FO2 (you must leave the village to find the GECK)? Original FO1 was so restrictive that if you didn't pursure the main plot line fast enough you lost the game. I have a number of reservations about...

    Gamespot user soapbox

    The problem is that there is no "true" or "false" when it comes to personal taste and appreciation in entertainment forms like games. You are taking a viewpoint and trying to make it a truth when it is only personal perspective. The only "truth" about a game is "does it run properly or is it...

    Thanks for proving my point, to post here without taking flak one must participate in the local groupthink.

    You guys sitting around trying to pretend that this forum hasn't been filled with rabid, vitriolic, and intolerant posts filled with ad hominem attacks on anyone who even says "wait and see" is really kind of sad.
