"Spectre Induction" is one of my favourite game themes ever.

New Vegas may be more faithful to the isometric Fallouts, but you can tell a mile away that Obsidian just weren't familiar with the "open world RPG" concept. The exploration, content density, difficulty gradients, etc. (YAY DEATHCLAW NEST RIGHT BY THE STARTING AREA) are pretty poor, while in Fallout 3 you can see that…

Yay backseat designers.

It's a feature, so if you have been gut-shot and lay bleeding next to the PS4, unable to speak, you can still send morse code.

'Shepard'.

How anyone could ever point to a modern anime (which for the most part only feature emotional blank slates for characters) and say that "that's how it should have been written" is beyond me.

Can you do any better? I mean personally, can you create, code, produce a game of any caliber, good, bad, or in between?

Nah, Bulletstorm was great. I was skeptical at the beginning, but it won me over.

I don't know either Mike or Poland, but I'd assume it takes knowing a place to really hate it.

Ah, now I know what Gamla Stan reminded me of...

Mangusta.

Then again, people mocked Far Cry 2

I guess they could look like a squished Mac Pro instead.

I wonder what those powers consist of. Beat-matching and smooth flowing from one track to the next?
