Can someone explain to me how it's physically possible for only 9 people to put something like this together? I mean really. I have extremely limited knowledge of game development, but this seems ridiculous compared to what entire professional studios put out. Maybe they're actually part of a hive mind and this is the…

When Left 4 Dead came out, people said it was an RE 2/3 rip off because there were "zombies in a city and you were trying to survive." That is bullshit. Now, people are saying it's a Left 4 Dead ripoff because there's fast paced gunplay. Really? The concept of "zombies in city and you're trying to survive" just isn't…

If nothing else, this looks like a major step in the "right direction" for MMO's which create some kind of realistic political background for FPS players. I mean, if it fails, at least it'll provide valuable data to any future game developers about what worked and what didn't. I can't wait.

I'm referring to things like postmodernist art such as Gertrude Stein, but that's an extreme which I disagree with. The point I was trying to make is that there are circles of art and entertainment where the story and the plot are not as highly valued as they traditionally are.

There are entire movements that argue in favor of removing plot and character from certain stories in favor of displaying theoretical concepts or striking the heart of a theme or message without those things getting in the way. Sucker Punch at least made the whole affair make sense rather than taking such an extreme…

I think the criticisms you have of the movie are completely petty and unfair. If you walk into the movie expecting a fun action film with characters and plots that pass for decent, then yeah, you're going to be dissapointed. Sucker Punch isn't a movoie that works off of character interest, I'm not sure why so many…

I haven't seen the movie yet, but based on the trailers I think the movie is working off of an uncommonly perceived premise, and I disagree with how Analee analyzes the movie. No, not compared to my analysis since I haven't seen it, but the way she does it. I think some things aren't meant to be quite so literal. But…

Man... You can do that in real life, I'd rather have really interesting and unique characters. Guess my preferences are broad.

I don't understand how he feels those two options are exotic. It's a human woman with huge tits and an elf. Is there a problem I'm not seeing? That seems fairly run of the mill, especially with fantasy games. Which isn't to say elves exist outside of fantasy, though that would rock. I digress.

I really hope they don't go over the top with the Templar mythos. I love what they did in Assassin's Creed, but one of the main reasons anyone thinks the Templar have something to hide is because Philip the Fair was a bit of a prick to them and brought them up on false charges. Oh sure, maybe they're hiding the Holy…

You, sir, have just given me a whole days worth of fantasizing. Thank you. Thank you so much for this.

Those aren't breasts, they're pec-tastic-torals. Anime-ized for your pleasure (or disgust).

I'm not surprised by the vicious reactions, but come on... When I was a kid, I could probably convince my parents that two entirely different games were the same one and they'd believe it. They weren't stupid, but they didn't always grasp the technical details and fine print of things. How many people STILL have…

Jesus Christ, is everyone's fun meter broken? If you said to me that Michael Bay was doing Transformers zombies, I'd wretch and gnash my teeth, but it's DAN FREAKING ABNETT. This is THE guy to make zombies+Transformers cool.

@CandlejackDANZA: Actually, the reason Starcraft seems to rip off so many things and so many things seem to rip off of Starcraft is because the developers expressly tried to create three very simple scifi races that were very unique. What you get is a portmanteau of the most popular science fiction in all its various…

I agree with some of the posts about online behavior. EVERYONE gets picked on, and that means you get tagged for your perceived weakest trait. That could be anything from race to gender to sexual orientation to how your voice sounds. Hell, I got made fun of for my gamertag before I even opened my mouth. I like to…

I've never played MW2, but based on this footage it appears there's no detailed plan or schematic for how you do what you do. All you see are men with automatic weapons show up in an airport and begin to kill civilians. While I agree it might be an inspiring concept, Islamic extremists have consistently used suicide…

I wasn't planning on getting the game, but now... And I can't believe anyone's seriously trying to bring the "games need to be more literary" argument to this. Really? It's Duke Nukem! I found all the crudeness refreshing...

The test only measured IQ scores, not academic or professional success. I've seen some pretty sharp people in some fairly low situations. I don't agree with that "beautiful smart people hook up a lot and produce beautiful smart offspring" theory. Isn't it more likely that by being 'beautiful', they've developed…

Man... Why can't hacking be like the movies where there's a big ol' loading bar that says, "Please wait, hacking in progress: 53%" And then the good guy blows some shit up to make the evil things go away. Okay, that would be ridiculously boring, but I'd feel less stupid and more safe. Ah well... Very scary, very cool.
