I hope that people play the new Xcom strategy game and like it then some one suggests Valkeria Chronicles to them and they like that too. From what I've heard to combat won't be too different.

Many a good Japanese games have fallen prey to this self fulfilling prophecy that no one will play these games so they might as well not bother releasing them. They don't want to waste money advertising a game that won't sell and so then it does not sell. Valkeria Chronicles deserves so much better. And with all of…

I've never been, so I can't say weather it does or doesn't happen. Even so, you can write a story that allows any range of emotion you can imagine in any situation if you work it right. the sad thing is that we've seen so many stories that are nothing but doom and gloom that when we see some in a video game smile and…

Was thinking the same thing. It must be because they aren't all depressed or grunting for moar war and the soldiers are actually relaxing and acting like normal, casual human beings.

Reminds me of Valkyria Chronicles for some reason.

I actually love Halo. It's stagnation, or lack there of never bothered me. But Halo (along with CoD, BF, MoH and maybe GoW) is on the list of high profile games that seldom receive criticism (and when they do it's usually done off to the side and in a vacuum). You won't read many 3 page dissertations on why these…

That is a terrible excuse. It's exactly this sort of "fuck all but the newest thing" mentality that helps to vindicate such nonsense.

No I'm a very short best of album set to repeat.

And then, come November, every website from Kotaku to Destructoid to The Escapist and every irrelevant and relevant website in between will give the game amazing reviews and praise how it gives us more of what we want and crave. At some point down the line someone will post an article about why it's not a terrible…

Shhhhh! Guys, down here, quick!

Been using the Complex mods so long I forgot how to play with out them! That said the energy resource they added always irked me. I hope they fixed it. But OMG so many capital ship types! And nothing feels as satisfying as a hoard of corvettes swarming an unsuspecting carrier. Except maybe when 8 destroyers jump in…

The black guy always goes first........

But look at an old copy of Homeworld vs some other new games. I can install Homeworld as many times as I want. Through viruses and hardware failures I've installed the game more than 20 times on my PC. Some new games will even limit how many times you can install or activate a product that you purchased on a disc.…

I'm glad it requires a DvD drive. I'm still dreadful of the day when everything is 100% digital and discs are a thing of the past.... not that they still can't limit installs or require always online support or anything but still. When I own a disk I feel like I'm actually owning a copy of the game rather than a…

Yeah if you're in America then you gotta speak American!

The problem isn't if it's biased or not but if a story is or isn't full of shit. I'm not against journalists or TV stations having their own opinions just so long as those opinions don't lead them to knowingly mislead their readers or viewers.

Thank you for getting it.

Don't expect it from anyone. I mean I don't know if it's because they are afraid of being accused of taking sides or because they are bought out but there isn't a single TV station or big name web site that will question even the most basic BS that today's politician spouts. It's like reality has been politicized and…

I'm not a foreigner, man, you're the foreigner! This is America! When we go to other countries we say "look at all of these freaking minorities and foreigners". Our base ball world series only has to worry about one foreign team and it's from Canada (which isn't even a real country!).

And money, and fuel sources that should of been out dated and phased out years ago, and for no other reason than to maintain control on the masses and keep us scared, and because it's "fun".
