The title of this article should have been “Norm MacDonald comedy special coming to Netflix in May.”

No, they were Lucasarts’ doing. Telltale only did the most recent sequel, Tales from Monkey Island (which overall is a more consistent package than the hit or miss quality of the Lucasarts remasters.) Definitely Telltale’s best of its more traditional adventure game offerings.

Prices wouldn’t be that high if idiots weren’t willing to pay it. People get what they deserve.

I’m as liberal as they come, but it’s absolutely true that proper training and familiarization with guns is far more effective at teaching kids to respect them than blanket statements about their danger. Being a Boy Scout brought me into close contact with guns at a fairly young age (4th grade or so,) and we were…

Admittedly, they were fairly absurdist examples (exaggerating to make a point,) but I generally agree with you. There is also an irony in the fact that a truly capitalistic approach to this issue would be to say that of course the city has the right to change it up to and including to the point of altering its…

I see the irony here, but there’s a big difference between another artist placing the girl as a piece of guerrilla art and the CITY placing it there. It’s not really as direct a double standard as you’re making it out to be. You’re essentially suggesting that this artist should just suck it up and allow the…

Dark Souls chameleon/white branch mode.

The word is “idealism” and it has been done since the origins of art. The game does look damn nice though.

I see your point, but you don’t acknowledge the fact that videogames are inherently different from films. As much as we who love videogames like to think of them as art (an identification I happily support,) it’s important not to forget that a lot of video games are ALSO displays of the most current gaming technology…

Fair point. :)

I bought Lego Marvel Superheroes to try out with my 5 year old daughter. Verdict was that she liked the game, but by far her favorite part was just running and flying around the open New York City map. Any of the story missions were just too complicated in terms of character switching and puzzle interactions for her…

FUCKING THANK YOU. Right on. Literally the same exact experience with Little Big Planet 3 and my 5 year old. Jesus Christ.

It’s almost like the games media was so enthusiastic about jumping on the “best game of all time” bandwagon, that they forgot to actually critically examine the actual game.

The Souls series also did this, for the most part.

Heh...too true. Though I’d argue Tie Fighter holds up a lot better today than Dark Forces, since first person shooters have changed SO much since the Doom clone days. I love them both though, so go figure.

Tie Fighter > Dark Forces.

Ha...I literally came here to ask this same question. Alien Isolation was so underrated by mainstream gaming press. I can only hope this takes the best parts of that game and puts them to good use.

Sounds like it’s borrowing a lot from the massively underrated Alien: Isolation, which I would be very happy about. Is that a fair assessment?

Frankly, I don’t understand the point of a project like this. It really doesn’t look substantially better than the original Oblivion.

Those poor convicted murderers.
