I find it interesting to see the various tipping amounts/policies different people have posted in the other comments. I'm in my 20s, and live in Ontario, Canada, and I was brought up to tip around 15% as a base amount, before adding more for good service. Most people I know in the area also seem to tip the same…

I remember it as being a very strong clone of the Heroes of Might and Magic games. Same sort of system where you have hero units leading armies across the map, and recruiting more troops as you go. When you meet an enemy unit, it goes into a grid-based combat screen where the units under your command can fight it out.

Remember that old 'leaked' product release schedule that came out a couple of years ago? One of the projects on there was something called Starcraft: Phoenix. This was in addition to Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void, which were also both listed. At the time, many proposed that it might be a re-release of the…

I can't view the trailer at the moment, but unless something has changed, Age of Wonders is a turn-based strategy series, not real time. It's more like the Heroes of Might and Magic series.

The biggest hurdle to Call of Duty becoming bigger in the eSports world is that it follows a yearly release schedule. You can't have a big competitive scene when your community is expected to fragment within a year.

I thought Ghandi's AI was set to rush nukes in Civ IV and V, as a callback to him doing it randomly in the first few games and players finding it hilarious.

They've been told by the fans time and time again to go back to the survival horror roots. Resident Evil 6 got terrible scores after it went further up the action-shooter route than even Resident Evil 5 was. Resident Evil: Revelations stayed true to the survival horror genre and gave fans what they wanted, and was…

Frank was not the God of Death, he was one of the Manipulated Dead.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Nintendo's console releases seem to be completely out of touch with their game development timelines. Think of how much better the Wii U would be selling if it launched with a new Metroid and Zelda.

More Ys for Steam! Yay! As it just so happens I'm currently playing through Oath in Felghana, and finished Origin not that long ago.

"but the industry has profited at the expense of children."

I don't really have the fond memories of Gen II that others do. It boasted a new set of Pokemon to collect, but after you pick one of the new starters, it's a long time before you see anything else new. It's Rattatas and Pidgeys as far as the eye can see. Even the Gym Leaders avoid using much in the way of the new…

Dante Must Die mode made enemies tougher and do more damage, but after a few seconds they'd go into their own devil trigger mode. At least this was the case for the old DMCs. It's Heaven or Hell and Hell or Hell modes you're thinking of.

I was a female mage, and sided with the mages in many of my choices. I romanced Merril. Isabella left me high and dry, vanishing all together once her quests were done, and I had to kill Fenris because he left to side with the Templars and came back with some guards. This means I was left with one Sword/Shield Warrior…

I felt the same as you! Until half my party turned on me due to the convoluted friend/rivalry system and I was left with no real choice at all!

I think the whole question about using the eagles to get to Mordor is irrelevant anyway, because the ring would not have let someone throw it in the fires of Mt Doom. The ring's power and influence grows as it gets closer to its master, such that Frodo was unable to fulfill his mission and even Sam started to be…

I like that smile. So genuine. She looks like she's holding back a laugh.

Even Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger vs Darkdeath Evilman and the Prinny games have been localized. This has a great chance of coming over here.

It doesn't matter what you're named and where you live, people will still mess it up. I've had people take my name down as 'Adom' and even 'Adem' once before. And yes, these were English-speaking WASPy types that would clearly be familiar enough with my first name. I am totally used to spelling out my last name for…

I'm seeing mentions of running Steam on this thing. It's running a Tegra 4 processor, though, which is an ARM architecture. How is it going to run x86 code? There's no ARM version of Steam as far as I know, and even if there was, you'd still need an ARM version of each game on there in order to play it on an ARM chip.…
