  1. Review Just admit it guys, Storm of Zehir sucks

    You mean it's for REAL and not "taking a piss having a laugh" real? Damn, it makes poorly written teen fantasy fan-fiction look like works of art. Looks like I have to get it!

  2. Website idea

    You know, you're probably not getting the staff position no matter how far you try to stick your tounge up Kingston's manly, hairy ass. :D

  3. Website idea

    I like the idea. It would be like the codex but with less focus on RPGs and less kindergarten whining (ohoho, yes we do, don't deny it). You'd have to hook up some seriously good writes in order to have any legitimacy though. Gamingjournalism.com is a good name for a domain. It's easy to...

  4. Adding true tabletop experience to RPGs

    Sounds like a (very) extended version of Mount and Blade. Ideally the kind of game you describe is some sort of cross-over between Mount and Blade and Darklands with added political options (that are prelavent in M&B but lacking). I would fucking love to see a game like that surface. Perhaps...

  5. What if AoD sucks?

    When David Gaider comes along and says: "Dude, I saw what you did. We could use you on Dragon Age. You've done Q&A before right?"

  6. Let's Play Planescape: Torment.

    You don't have to take a screenshot of every single dialouge option and unimportant event there is. It makes for way to many screenshots and a boring read. Summarize the dialouge and quickly provide your reasons for chosing wath path you took, show initial dialouge and end result. That way the...

  7. Top Ten: GameStar mag hates/loves about DRAKENSANG

    It sounds a lot better than I suspected at first. The strong selling points for me are there (dialouge, inter-locking multiple-solution quests, strong rule system, travelling system). When's this translated version of this supposed to be released?

  8. Atari threatens to sue reviewer for Alone in the Dark review

    Is this a joke or are you really that thick? If you actually read what BN wrote you'll notice that sound logic is weighing heavily in Atari's favour unless the magic market provided them with some means of acquiring a copy before street date, yet he does in no way claim that Atari are some...

  9. disciples 2, any good?

    As noted the tactics of combat is about null. The game is severely unballanced as well in that some units are so mcuh better than others that combat becomes a non-issue once you crack the code. Which is a pretty big issue since the game is all about the combat. Art direction is amazing and...

  10. The most complex RPG to date?

    Complex in what capacity? For combat, ToEE. The ammount of valid combat options in ToEE makes it one of the better dungeon crawlers out there. For complexity as in party/inventory/stat management, the RoA series or Darklands excluding all the ASCII-based dungeon crawlers out there since...

  11. KotOR III, the MMO

    No great loss of a franchise there IMHO. I tried to finish KOTOR II some weeks ago since I never played that game when it came out and found it for cheap. It had potential but just seemed shallow and forced overall. The moral ambiguity of the dark/light dictomy that creeps up through Kreia's...

  12. New Fallout 3 screen - mommy, my head is cripplied!

    Is there such a thing as inflation for game statistics? If not, this is pretty close. And I'm still bothered by the use of AP:s in an real-time game. What do they determine? The ammunt of time you have to execute a certain action? How many Todd Howards you can stuff in your panties? So...

  13. What are some good turn-based strategy games?

    Hay thar! That looks interesting. Something for those lazy summer days.

  14. Movie Matinee - Red Alert 3, WiC: Soviet Assault, & More

    What's with the Soviet spider-bots in the RA3 developer commentary? Hardly the thing I think about when I reminiss about the might of the Motherland. The more I hear about this game the more I think it's deviating from what RA should be.

  15. crysis

    It's a solid, if uneven, FPS. Even though the story won't grant Crytek any awards it works well enough and is implemented pretty well. Sure it becomes pretty boring when it's painfully obivous what's going on and the solution to the problem is dripping in testosterone infused maschismo. What...
