  1. Editorial 10 Reasons Why Mass Effect 3 Will Be the Best in the Trilogy

    I'll put a fiver on it having the "quick way down" feature of Shep putting his hands and feet on the side of the ladder and sliding down. You know, like how cool kids like Sam Fisher and Ezio Auditore do it.

  2. Editorial 10 Reasons Why Mass Effect 3 Will Be the Best in the Trilogy

    Apparently the new awesome button is the "N" Key.

  3. DA2 takes a dip off the third week.

    The only really Lovecraftian thing I can think of is the bit of ME2 with the derelict ship and the logs of the people that were working on it before you arrive. The whole thing about the indoctrination slowly taking over peoples minds. Other than that... yeah, I got the SW/ST thing with a...

  4. Editorial Five Things We Learned From Fallout

    Yeah, it's kind of funny that so many fantasy games take nearly everything from Tolkien, but miss that little detail.

  5. Volourn's Fanboyish Take On DA2: Only Review That Matters

    Re: Volourn's Fanboyish Take On DA2: Only Review That Matte It has to do with offering save game importing as a feature, and them saying that your decisions carry across games, then following that up with him taking this snide tone and saying pretty much "Your decisions don't matter, ours...

  6. Volourn's Fanboyish Take On DA2: Only Review That Matters

    Re: Volourn's Fanboyish Take On DA2: Only Review That Matte As long as it agrees with Gaider's plan: "It will ... always work out the way we think it should."

  7. Scary RPGs?

    Ah, I forgot about "Clock Tower"! I haven't played that game since around the time it first came out. (On Super Famicom) I haven't played the rest of that series, or the other titles you mentioned. I'll have to look them up.

  8. I Present To You The Scrappiest Little Dev Ever...

    I figure it's either when the company gets a parent company, or has publicly traded stocks with investors to answer to. Either way they are obligated to someone, so they are not "Independent". There might be a few other scenarios I am not thinking of. Usually when people say "Indie"...

  9. Scary RPGs?

    That actually reminds me of "Call of Cthuhlu: Dark Corners of the Earth". Not an RPG, but it did have one of the most interesting locational damage and healing systems out there. The only problem is that you still could pretty easily patch yourself up. You could not do this in combat or...

  10. The best of both worlds!!

    Shivering Isles: Morrowind: Yeah, the plants did seem similar. Giant mushrooms, twisted trees, marshes and all that. I also liked the "butterfly room", just for the weirdness of it. Makes me wish Beth would stick to being a little more creative with their art direction instead of...

  11. why do bioware "twists" always suck and do any not

    Mass Effect 2 didn't have any major one I can think of... unless you count discovering they use people for some kind of reproduction a twist. The originals revelation that the citadel was a mass relay is slightly better, in that it set up the third acts climax fairly well. I don't think the...

  12. The best of both worlds!!

    There's no way that's a faithful reconstruction of Morrowind... I don't see a single cliff racer in any of those shots. :lol:

  13. Preview Skyrim Preview

    Especially when you add the fact that the only exit from the cave passes through a dungeon full of demons, thieves, and the undead... and only after all that do they get to see the sun again. (...and people think the Temple of Trials was a rough start!)

  14. Risen 2 info bundle

    You know, I've seen this sort of thing a lot in movies and books (especially cowboy westerns), but I can't think of a game where the main character is a ex-badass drunkard. Usually it's something like Amnesia. Funny how a rare medical condition comes up more in games than a really common problem...

  15. Review Vault Dweller Does Dragon Age II

    Yes, it's true... it's impossible to put sarcasm in text. In it's a known fact. No novelist, humorist, or satirist has ever successfully used sarcasm in their novels. There is just no denying this! --- ...seriously though, that shows their schizophrenic planning right there. We want the...
