I liked Adventures of Link. I played it back when video games forced you to grind to extend gameplay. I remember grinding a LOT, and leveling up strategically. But I loved the little towns, doing some platforming gaming to reach the ruins, and finding spells and new sword techniques.

This is exactly why I could never get into the GTA series! I wasn't ever focused on the game, but the mini-map! It was all I ever did! Follow it to point B. Smash all the red dots. Go to Point C. I couldn't figure out why I disliked GTA when I love other Open World games.

I'm still waiting for Nintendo and Sega to refund me on all my NES and Sega Genesis purchases. I mean, they're like going on for a DOLLAR now!

The PC version is 27.99. And that's the only version that this article relates to.

What are you talking about? Examples please.

I still have very fond memories of Link's Awakening. Marin just wanted to be a seagull. :(

Wow. I only played about the first dungeon of Minish Cap, because I thought it was a Capcom production. (And Capcom's Oracle of Ages and Seasons left a bitter taste in my mouth. Still great games.) But with your comparison to Link to the Past, I think I'll give Minish Cap another try.

Bethesda solves a itch that I have - exploring a huge world, picking up every nook and cranny, and stealing everything not nailed to the ground.

Sometimes we throw on warpaint and attack the screen. It's a tradition that dates back to our forefathers.

This is QuakeCon, a con where most if not EVERYBODY is a PC gamer.

Well, guess I won't be picking up battlefield 3. (Maybe in 2 years, when Origin folds and becomes a shittier version of Games for Windows, but for EA games.) Origin is not only competing as a online store, they're competing against a massive library, a huge community, and worse, a company dedicated to providing a…

Continue reading. Read all the way to the end of the article. Although John is mocking online gamers, he's also making a valid point that single player games are a narrative experience, and are infinitely better at it, than a multiplayer experience. The article has nothing to do with the sport of things. He is…

Casinos would give their 'special patrons' (Or I like to call them, biggest idiots) hotel rooms for free, to entice them to continue their habits. My whole family, a bunch of gambaholics, get them all the time. My aunt a few years ago, would bring her kids to the casino, leave them in the hotel room, and gamble for a…

So lazy that they didn't even BOTHER to rip-off pikachu. Another city in Japan did.

This is a 7 year old game that STILL has 11.4 million players. The only other game that still has strong numbers and a lot of age is Counterstrike. This is still really impressive.

Of course he did. Why read a article when the headline will do?

I hate beta testing and bug hunting. The repetitive hunt for ways to break a game. The attention to detail on how it occurred. AND you're attempting to do it with MMOs, which tend have the most serious game breaking bugs in video games. Bless you, gametr4x. You are doing gaming as a whole a service.

That sucks. Apparently, that they took it away really quickly. I'm glad I bought it immediately and Steamified it.

Civ 5 for 12 bucks! Civ 5 for 12 bucks! CIV 5 for TWELVE DOLLLLLLLLARS!

A lot of reviewers I listen to would talk about how in-accurate the power meter is. How they would turn the system off at 60%, and turn it on at near dead. The first few reviewers who say that, fine. Maybe it's just them. But when I hear it on 5 or 6 different podcasts (even a tech podcast), I worry about that.…
