I've been really enjoying Doom and agree with what I've been reading about the criticism. There is one detail to it I'm not such a fan of, the way it locks you into what are essentially battle arenas. See a big open area? Here comes a fight. And then a check point. Contrast this with the how the classic levels play…

I'm playing on the xbox as I don't have the power for new games any more. But if I did, I'd pick key n mouse.

My garden menace is the neighbor's cat. I love seeing her around but she also shits in my raised vegetable beds. She's old and had/has cancer and had a leg amputated so I just can't chase her off.

Please do. This is really fun to read.

I'm only about 4 hours into the single player, but I really enjoy it. It's about as close to an old fashioned Doom game as you may get with today's engineering applied to it. It's fast and frantic. The maps have a ton of secrets (so far, I've found the secrets a bit easy to find). The design encourages you to be…

I had a week long vacation become a stay-cation due to some health problems, so I've got 10 days to get bored with the following:

My first thought with the remasters was something along the lines of "well a solid prev. gen game gets ported to a system where it will freeze a lot". Considering every single one of my play sessions of Arkham Knight ended when it froze up, I'm less than excited. Only other game of this generation that has this…

I'm fond of the chainsaw being a way to recover some sparse amount of ammo during the longer battles. I'm still trying to get over the habit of accidentally using it because it's the same button as every other games' reload action. Apparently reloading has become muscle memory for me.

Due to the give and take nature Sandler's list mentioned above, I find the short little death animations to provide a small bit of rest. Gives my old brain a second to plan out my next move.

How about those new nvidia cards they announced earlier this week

How are they going to try to sell me a brand new copy of a game, sans case, in a flimsy little envelope now that they've gone digital?

Case in point: Stranglemania

It's too bad, because we could have seen what contrived way they made him lose his vacuum powers at the beginning of a sequel.

Does Blinx upgrade from a broom to a vacuum at some point? When is he actually sweeping?

The American version has much more variety in the art that people bring in. Seeing people bring in some drawing or tiny painting and discover it's worth half a mil is arguably my favorite part of the show.

Plus, there's only SO many English castles and manors. If they don't watch out, they'll have to film in a blue collar location.

There's a part near the end

Yah, said robot is…almost the end.

That demo was so rough, it may have killed a sure sale for me. Eh maybe I'm just past final fantasy now. Though IX is out on PC now and I've never played it.

In the Battlefield games, if you fly an airplane level to the ground, you can use the "leave vehicle" button to essentially eject at the speed of the plane. Your player will then travel at an arc and, if done well, will be exactly where the jet is on your way down (as it continues to travel without losing much…
