If someone hasn't mentioned it yet, a zone map would be handy. Especially in Explore mode. Also, caption text that appears prominently onscreen each time you cross an area boundary (Now Entering: The Skywatch, for example).

I'm with you on that one. Original Unreal was awesome. UT99 was a fantastic follow-up and one of the best arena shooters of all time. Then UT2K3/UT2K4 came out, and crapped all over the franchise. Unreal Tournament 3 was pretty good and repaired some of the damage, but I have yet to see a game that brings back the…

Aahhh memories. I spent many happy hours lost in Unreal's vast world, marveling at (for the time anyway) the amazing graphical effects and vivid colors. The guns were a blast too, and fit into the game world extremely well. As the article mentioned, each weapon had a use... there were no throwaways. The music was also…

I'm with ya on that one. They had better release a soundtrack CD pronto.

This argument shouldn't be about why multi-platform characters were used in a mural. The bigger question is why both Microsoft and Sony have shifted their focus away from first-party games this generation. There are many reasons for this.

Go ahead and hate on Foxconn all you want. As you fiddle with your iPhone or Blackberry, before picking up the controller for your PS4, Wii U or XBox One. Because guess who built all those devices.

OK OK, I want it. Just take my money already!

Interesting idea I guess. Certainly looks cool. But how much of a threat are IR missiles against a tank anyway? Am I just behind the times?

What everyone else said. I reached a point in my character's progression where it was literally impossible to progress my character any farther, without spending $50 (or more) of real money to equip him to survive Inferno mode. I stopped playing the PC version for this reason.

"Is your refrigerator running? You better go catch it!"

Loved the "duke" controllers. Very comfy indeed.

Still got mine hooked up. Plus one in reserve (bought when they dropped the price to $50). Got about 70-ish discs too, some of which still haven't shown up on Blu-ray yet.

Not surprising considering they built the Wii U with hardware comparable to the 8 year old current gen systems, with no must-have games and next to no 3rd party support. And, are charging more for it.

Get rid of your stupid pets. You don't need them half as much as you need those gadgets anyway. :)

We already have a HD port of Sons of Liberty thanks to 2 MGS legacy collections, and it looks/plays just fine. I really would like a (better) remake of MGS1 though. As awesome as the original was in terms of story, gameplay and design, the visuals could certainly use a facelift.

Calling the Wii U the "next Dreamcast" is a disservice to the Dreamcast. For those who do not remember, the Dreamcast was an actual next-gen system with excellent hardware and a dev-friendly Windows CE base, that beat the PS2 to market (though admittedly not by very long) and had some truly excellent games, as well as…

NK may have a few nuclear devices, but no delivery system. The only thing they could do is set them off when our troops are outside Pyongyang; otherwise they're no threat. But, it's actually their CONVENTIONAL forces that pose the biggest deterrent. They currently have poised north of the DMZ enough artillery and…

Sadly this sounds all too familiar, and it also shows up a fundamental truth about the video game development biz: even a moderately successful studio will always give preference to internal IP over licensed properties, no matter how iconic they are. That is why licensed games vary between mediocrity and absolute…
