So which game are you excited about?

Yeah because real harrassment does not include someone going around and slapping women's butts with stickers that (at least out of context) impart a sexist message. Great thinking, troll.

I also find the satirical value of the stickers to be very questionable. Maybe it would seem more like a joke if a woman had made them, but for some dude to print them and hand them out at a con doesn't make me that comfortable. If there are female gamers who can laugh at that sort of label and enjoy the sarcasm, it's…

There's also the monster mash.... it was a graveyard smash

I remember that. Now let's hope they bring back the palace view!

I don't remember the AI in Alpha Centauri. The tactical AI in Total War is good, but I am pretty underwhelmed by the strategic AI. In Shogun 2, the AI's logic as far as making / breaking alliances seems to be purely a +/- points analysis. No real surprises.

I agree for the most part, although having played many games I feel it did improve with Gods & Kings and there are times when the AI does make things really interesting. At launch the AI was a huge mess, for sure.

I'm a life-long Civ fan, and in 5 I rarely if ever play the scenarios. They are interesting, but they absolutely crawl on my machine. In the main game I tend to play smaller map sizes, because even on a Macbook Pro with a 2.2GHz Intel i7 and 16GB of RAM, the game has to think a very very long time each turn on…

I have the same problem. Can never find people to play this stuff with who are also functional adults in society.

Wait, people have beaten Contra?

Love the reference!

Yeah well that's a pretty good argument against 'sport' fishing in general.

Good point. Plus the review states that the Ouya is 'for the now' but DON'T BUY IT YET. So wait until a few generations of e-waste have accumulated, and then consider it.

1. Long dry spell of Civil War strategy games - no direct competition in the market.

So definitely no Mac support? We're going to have to just hope they outsource a crashy port to Feral again?

I had no idea this was being done, can't wait to check it out!

One of my main frustrations has been that I haven't really seen reasonable prices for digital purchases - nothing like Steam sales on any of the consoles I own (for transparency's sake, I don't own a PS3, so I can't speak much to it). The industry makes a lot of noise about the cost of physical production and…

I'm pretty sure PC Kinect will know when you're masturbating.

The only explanation is Reaper indoctrination

Yikes, never heard of that happening before. But that sort of thing happens all the time in mobile when OS updates to Android or iOS break games that don't still have ongoing support. Surely it's bound to happen as Microsoft tries to bring their various operating systems together into one ecosystem. But a $60 brick…
