I don't think Joana is officially a slave, she seems more like an exploited and abused drug addict than anything. Cachino is possessive of her because he's asshole, not because she's a slave. People have weird ideas about House, just because he doesn't care about something going on that seems...

Yes, committing one of the worst unprovoked/non political mass murders in the history of the world (using the same tool used to nearly wipe out all of humanity (but not the US Capitol building)), in exchange for a crappy apartment is truly an amazing quest option. Especially because Moira not...

Beyond the Beef Bleed Me Dry I Could Make You Care Ghosttown Gunfight Arizona Killer The endings to Return to Sender and Legend of the Star very good. I also like how much the different endings to Oh My Papa can affect the ending.

Secession had a lot to do with slavery, but secession didn't necessarily have to lead to war, the union could have let them secede peacefully. Obviously they didn't, but that had more to do with other factors than slavery. For the most the part Union didn't care about slaves too much, in the...

I've been playing Alpha Protocol and I rather like it. Some of it's mechanics are a little clunky, but it does some other things really well. I'll probably replay it as soon as I finish, just to try doing it completely differently. Best $12 I've spend in a while.

I think first person is way overrated as an immersion tool. The lack of peripheral vision kills it for me, there is no reason I should be completely blind to some enemy slightly to my left because I'm not facing that direction. It also every prevents you from ever looking at yourself. For...

I agree, I was thinking more of side faction than a main faction, more Vault City, than Caesar's Legion. Although Fallout is generally post-racial, if they made a game set in the area, its too big of part of that culture, even today to ignore. There could a vault experiment, with falsified...

My groin is the groin of fire.

I think a retro-confederacy thing in the south could an amusing premise for a villain faction in a later game. There could be like a whole vault of "south will rise again" type folks who become the dominant force of the area, who all dress like Colonel Sanders.

I'd like to see Obsidian make lower budget games, so they can aim for a narrower more hardcore audience without the expectations of massive mainstream sales success and the compromises that go along with that. Making more original IP games would help as well, as certain series carry...

I think the online marketplace for gaming is a very good thing and will open up the market for games driven more by ideas and play mechanics as opposed to big time production values. By expanding the marketplace the game market is getting big enough to support both the big budget mainstream...

For all their talk about being harbingers for social change or whatever bullshit they claim, attacking something as trivial and unimportant as gaming communities is especially retarded. They are no better than petty vandals, spray painting an anarchy symbol on a road sign.

Borderlands was named xbox 360 game of the year by RPGLand.com, so that is pretty much enough for them to call it "Game of the Year" without technically being false.

The standard is that someone, somewhere and it doesn't matter who, declares your game to be game of the year. Of course each year thousands of people do this, which leads to a whole bunch of games being called "Game of the Year". Most people don't pay attention to who declared the game...

So Bethesda wants them to not use any existing elements of the Fallout universe, yet at the same time is upset if world contradicts what does exist in the Fallout universe. Seems sort of contradictory.

Looks like there is a follow up Demon's Souls coming out, that could be pretty good.

Because 15 points of DT matter when you're doing over 100 points a hit. The added tactical flexibility of thrown weapons and poison apparently don't help either.

One reason I prefer Oh Baby! (and weapons like Rebar Club) is that is the large swing radius makes it much easier to hit enemies, especially fast ones. Mauler is also a much better special attack than one on the knives. Finally Oh Baby! has such high base damage, putting points into unarmed...

I wouldn't mind seeing Enclave splinter groups as minor factions doing things here or there; a lab with cool technology, a bunker of angry holdouts, a reformed group trying to help people on a small scale, but after being utterly defeated on multiple occasions and having their leadership...

I greatly prefer the 2-D FF games. Amano is much better artist and character designer than the people they have had since. The people in X, especially Tidus look ridiculous. The early 3-D games have aged very badly visually, the polygons are too jagged and the textures are crude and more...
