Great review. It got me to download the demo which I'm just about to try out. I'm still a little uncertain about this one despite the great things I'm hearing from many people I respect. As much as I really love games that try to tell a more interesting and deep story I haaaaaate military shooters. I'll probably wind up picking it up during my next major game drought if the demo plays okay. Anyway, good review.
I haven't heard anything about the Wall street journal's review before this article and honestly wouldn't care what score they gave it but that in no way means their review was fine. Even if their audience know nothing about the artistic medium that the product being reviewed belongs to, that's no excuse for the reviewer not to know either.
If I wrote a review of the Godfather 2 that read like, 'OMG there's like sooooo much talking and boring stuff they n...
I'm calling it, it's the T-Rex from the demo disc you got with the system.
I usually buy things based at least partly on the trustworthiness of the person selling them to me. If somebody has lied about features of a product they're selling or refused to provide support for those experiencing unexpected problems with the product that factors into my purchasing decision.
Having said that I'm still buying Dishonored because it looks interesting and we're in a major drought as far as interesting new single player games go.
I don't want to read the entire article because it somehow ruins it to know how my choices would've had different outcomes. I began another play through of the game but quit after an hour or so for this same reason. Of course many of, if not most of your choices in these types of games do no matter. The trick is that a good game like the walking dead will leave you clueless as to which few choices will really matter in the long run. Meaning you have to treat them all as important just...
I always try and go through these games without killing anybody, maybe it's a result of growing up on Batman comics or maybe it's a ridiculous personal morality that allows me to spend money on games rather than giving it to charity but makes me feel guilty about killing a fictional character in those games.
I'm thinking I might try and bring myself to do some killing in this one though. After I finished Deus Ex HR I felt a little like I'd cheated myself by not u...
So glad he was lead writer. There's nothing I hate more than rich happy young people with snappily edited web shows and yet I find myself happily watching and enjoying every new episode of HAWP that's released. I just hope he wrote a part for his dad somewhere in there.
Only the good ones.
I've never understood it. I mean, I don't even see what they get out of it. It's like unpacking a board game, placing your piece on the square that says 'win' and just sitting there looking at it. It doesn't even upset me that they ruin competitive games for everyone so much as it just depresses me that there are people that utterly stupid in the World.
Phew, for a moment there I thought they were talking PT Anderson. I thought he'd lost his damn mind.
She has nipples on her ass? Damn, that's hot.
I.....I....uh.....didn't realise anybody played games for other reasons. Come to think of it I didn't realise anybody did anything for other reasons.
The word on the inside is that he's planning to perform an erotic pole dance to the Snake eater theme. I can't wait.
Great pic for the article, Ratchet's face says it all.
You fools, it's clearly a robot giant's severed toe resting on top of a sexy lady's shoe.
My ear covering headphones are a must for gaming. The only trouble is I do not live alone and tend to do most of my gaming at night with the lights out. Dead space + somebody getting up for a glass of water and walking in the room behind you = Not fun.
Rooms are already 3D environments.
As a huge fan of both the comic and TV show I'd say the story in the Walking dead game is better than that of the TV show and absolutely on par with that of the comics, and I do not say that lightly. I've never been quite as connected to a character and concerned about their safety as I am with Clementine. I find myself spending about five minutes before leaving each screen making absolutely sure nothing is going to put her in danger.
Having said that I would probabl...
Damn, it actually took them longer than I thought to figure out some way that giving away free games could be a terrible terrible thing.
I didn't even dislike the ending really, or any of the game for that matter but for some reason it just left my mind and my HDD (I'd bought a digital copy) the moment I finished it and I haven't really thought about it since. It wouldn't find it's place into my worst or my best of the year, it was just some game I played.
