This is good... Isn't it?
CRank: 5Score: 56990

There is currently a big-time push to have all violence and sexual content removed from video games, or at least monitored more closely

It's been brewing since the GTA:SA hot coffee incident. Gamers think that it just went away, but it currently being looked at by our court system.

The video game world is desperately trying to defend video games under Free Speech and Artistic expression, and have been able to demonstrate the ability to "police"...

According to reports, this guys was heavily into drugs and the concept of lucid dreaming, in which you know you are awake in your dreams and can control them to become a super being.

The news referenced the Matrix's Neo and Inception.

I really doubt anyone can lay this at the feet of video games. That doesn't mean certain people won't try though...

People will twist anything to fit their agenda.

Can't F'n wait!

Tekken Tag was my favorite out of the series.

Wait, what?

Do you mean that gaming isn't your life? Because that's cool.

Or do you mean that you really don't like gaming much? Because I'm just wondering how you ended up on a gaming enthusiast website.

And I'm a book reader (George RR Martin is my favorite author). Can't people do both? Game and read?

And Morganfell has it right.

There are many different types of gaming experienc...

You can find it dirt cheap, and it really is one of those games that every gamer should get the chance to experience.

To add to Pixel and Leonidas' list

The Ratchet and Clank series
GoW 1 - 3 (GoW 1&2 HD remakes and GoW3)

Gems I love include 3Dot Game Heroes & Valkyria Chronicles (also can be found dirt cheap)

And if you can afford it, get Move with Sports Champions. I mistook it as a Wii Sports throw awa...

Yeah. Who really wants to play "Politically Correct: the Game -- Realism Collector's Edition"?

And we still have brothers running around with birds in their afros (FFXIII) and Latino bowlers saying stuff like "I'm gonna roll this like a taco!" (or whatever that short guy says in High Velocity Bowling), and we're really gonna focus on bikini boobs?

F' outta here...

Seriously, I'd be like...

"Hug it out?"

And probably get shanked

I just want to know who the heck disagrees with "Hurray boobs!"?

For real?!

8.5 is a good score IMO. I think the GT5 score is the reason that people are upset.

Even if it's not your type of game, anyone who's played GT5 can see it's a top tier title (8 or above?).

What can EGM say to sincerely justify GT5 as a slightly above average game that a 6.5 would indicate?

I'm an old school gamer and an old school EGM reader, but this type of "inconsistencies" in their scoring is the reason I stopped...

Drake is probably the best character this generation (next to Old Snake for me).

And UN1 & 2 are in a fierce brawl for greatest game this gen top honors along with Demon's Souls and MGS4 (which if you're a MGS fan, is one of the greatest games EVER along with MGS3)

All that said, I want to miss Uncharted a little. We've already had two Uncharted's in a relatively small timeframe. I want them to spend time crafting an absolutely amazing sto...

They could have Kratos, Deimos, AND Hades if they were eying the GoW franchise

I think anyone / all of those choices could be pretty cool

It just needs better games. Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen if MS just focuses on the casuals.

From the people that I know with Kinect, they said that it WAS NOT laggy; it was actually pretty accurate.

But the only game worth playing with it is that dancing game, which was fun for a few days.

They also thought navigating menus and such with gestures and voice commands was really cool.

But I want to see the ...

Yeah PC Baldur's Gate series is insane

Especially with mods and conversions like Baldur's Gate Trilogy for example, which allows BG1 to be played with BGII's upgraded graphics and control / gameplay improvements -- and combines BG1 with BGII as one epic playthrough.

If you haven't tried BG1 & 2, try picking it up cheap from ebay or gog.com (even better). Then do yourself a favor and download the free "Big World Project".

Royalty, definitely because you have Soul Arrow, MP regen ring, and two feet run the heck out of there.

But going against him melee at SL1 is pretty suicidal for a new comer. Low starting health, low stamina to hold your defense as he pounds on your shield, parry timing is still a bit too advanced for a newbie... It can be done, but that new player will have to swallow extra portions of death and frustration before he develops the patience and timing to take on a red.

Yeah, in World 5-2 I go stealth (Thief Ring) and ranged attack all the way.

With the three that gang up on you (two large trolls and a magic user), I kill all the slugs on the mound of land right before reaching the trolls, and I fire from there.

One or two arrows, and then let him wander back to his spot after searching for me for a while. Repeat.

It sounds cheap, but this is a level that even the game's designer admitted to having sec...

First a Buffalo Bill reference, and now a Princess Bride reference?

Awww, yeah :)

And is it wrong that I find, NintendoRocks' meltdown entertaining?

He's acting like a little kid that just learned his first cuss word, and he's gonna milk it for all it's worth. :D

+bubbles for the Buffalo Bill reference :)

But yeah, SE has lost their way. They are so clueless now, they may never climb out of the slump they've been in.

Wait, what?!

They did? When did this happen?!

It may not seem like much to some N4Gers, but that's actually pretty shocking stuff right there.

My head's spinning...

Waiting for video of Morganfell and Dark $niper burning their PS3's and pledging allegiance to 360.

I mean, I think it was $niper who threw his 360 in the trash on a video.

I don't care what you say though, N4G ne...

That's what SHE said :)

I know, that's played out. But so aren't crap video game movies.

I just saw this SF gem yesterday. While SF: Legend of Chun Li was better than the Van Damme version, it was still groan inducing.

It not like I was expecting Godfather or LotR but at least try to get to the level of the first Mortal Kombat movie or the SF animated movie (the one when Vega and Chun Li have that slugfest after the shower scene ...

You won't regret it.

Especially if you're a Zelda fan

I'm surprised Nintendo let them get away with this game truthfully
