Absolutely, this numerical and alphabetical scoring system has got to go. The reader should draw his/her own conclusion from the review, weighing pros and cons stated by the reviewer throughout the whole article and eventually decide if the game is a buy or not. Some people don't even read the reviews and just look at the score and say "well this game must be good/bad". Almost every gamer out there looks at the score before reading the review and that creates a conditioning on o...

You're not alone Ken, you're not alone.

Not only that but this whole worldwide moaning campaign is getting so irritating that I feel like I could throw a destructive b#tchslap right onto the mouth of the first friend of mine who would dare to bring up Mass Effect 3 to the conversation and use the term "besides the last five minutes".

I've been a gamer for more than fifteen years and nothing related to games went that absurd before in my ...

Do you remember the remote control helicopter level in GTA Vice City where you're supposed to demolish a building with it? DO YOU REMEMBER IT? DO YOU FRIGGIN REMEMBER THE PAIN? God I never cheated in a game but that was the first time I felt like I desperately needed a cheat code to get past that level.

It's not stable 60fps at those settings with these cards actually, but you won't notice a significant performance drop unless the fps is not lower than 30. Try FRAPS next time and you'll see it's 30-40 fps but as I stated before it feels fluid enough to assume that its running like 60fps so no problem on my end.

Just being curious here, what's the advantage of 3D vision over AMD's 3D solutions? Is it any better? I purchased a 3D full hd led monitor with HDMI support last winter and I've been using it for PS3, then I bought a gaming rig and now I have 6870 which says 3D GAMES right at your face on its box. I take it some of the games natively support AMD's 3D method and you can choose it under the options menu of those games, but other titles (and I'm talking about a total number o...

Then what are they up to? Bioware won't change the ending at all, as there is nothing that needs to be changed. They sure can provide some additional explanations with a future DLC and fill the gaps, but some little nitpickings aside, no explanation that they offered to us gamers with the ending was unignorably unreasonable. They bonded the story elements quite well and answered the key questions, and ended it with a proper and definitive resolution. You may or may not like it and yes, th...

Don't worry mate, you're not alone. I wholeheartedly agree. That's what I've been trying to say to my friends recently but they seem to ignore the fact that the whole game was as cinematic as it could get. Like it or not, this is a piece of art and you can not demand the creator of this art to change it the way you want. Imagine saying "You better change the resolution part of your book The Brothers Karamazov" to Dostoyevski. I really hope people could realise how ir...

This first sentence is to avoid eye contact. Yeah, get out now. In some of the endings, he doesn't die. I understand why you wanted to see a good ending after all the sh#t he had been through, and we played this game for 150 hours in total so we're deeply attached to our characters. Ending was depressing nevertheless, there was no happy ending but I don't think there needs to be one. You didn't eve...

What the hell are you listening for?

I'll never buy a game from Bioware if they attempt to change the ending. If you had balls to do that kind of ending, which I thought was awesome, don't fall back. Seriously, you shouldn't give in to those COD players who think heroes always stand on the ashes of their enemies and watch the skies with the great victory they had. It's not all lavender and roses, besides that kind of an ending would be cheap written, unimagina...

My grandpa would say: "That's alot of money!"

Seriously, folks, the ending was great. Next time pay more attention to the story rather than playing the action sequences with your saliva dripping on the floor. It was just like a great sci-fi novel, and to be honest, it was better than most of the novels I've read so far.

*Reads news:

"Microsoft hiring for AAAA title."

*Says: "Oh well... It's four A's, it sure sounds like it's something big."

A few months later, new information arrives.

"Microsoft revealed an exclusive title: Ninja The Fruit Cutter: Master of Melons (Kinect Exclusive)"

*Looks at the screen in agony, unintentionally makes Max Payne's lemon-eating sour face.

As I hate playing games with motion controls or sensors, I'll just drop an "It's alive, it's aliveeee!" joke and run away.

I won't pay sh#t for it unless it will be different than wii in terms of third party support. Their first party titles don't really appeal to me and I deeply regretted buying a Wii. I played Red Steel, Mad World, SH Shattered memories and... And that's about it. Nintendo isn't really my thing I guess.

Where the hell is I Am Alive? It's been two updates now and the game's still missing, thus there is no information regarding when it'll be available on the PSN. It just says "coming soon" and a spesific date is unknown. Will it be the next update? It started to get on my nerves, really. If it's not coming out next week, I'm not gonna wait for it anymore.

Do your math carefully before you release something for Christ's sake, it'll be thre...

Are you sure?

The first cutscene that you see after you recruit the Prothean explains a HUGE plot element *spoilers ahead folks* seriously you should stop reading now if you haven't played the game- about the beacons.

Watch this video and tell me Javik has nothing to do with the main plot.

Hey mate, I have a gaming rig as well, it has i5 2500k with 8gigs ram, and an AMD 6870 GPU. It blows the sh#t out of console graphics when I play the multiplatform games on my PC and compare them side by side, I'll give you that.

Allright, let's assume that our hardware is good enough to run the demo, then the question is, what game studio will be able to produce a game that looks as detailed as Samatrian demo? It's a tremendous deal of work to begin with, and th...

Yeah right, as if Samatrian's visuals are already used up and became obsolete. I don't care what your tech demo looks like, Square Enix could probably make a CGI trailer and make your UE4 look like crap. It's not about what we are shown but what we actually get. There is no single GPU that can run a Samatrian quality game, and how in the holy hell are you expecting the next gen consoles to run it? These high end cards will be twice the price of the upcoming consoles and that's...
