I am not a Halo fan. I think the controls are sloppy, the weapons are terrible, the flood an aggravation, and much of the storyline overrated.

That being said, I’ve played a great number of them and the only one I really like is Halo Wars. That game was vastly underrated, and was a rare RTS on the 360 (Command and…

Only memorable character or... only character at all? The sum total of people in that game (to my recollection) were:

Leader guy who said two lines
Brother and Sister on the space station who had 4 lines
Lady whose lines were “I don’t even have time to explain why I don’t have time to explain!”
And Dinklebot.

Quest givers…

One thing of note I think... In the original game you briefly were able to ride a motorcycle, but most of your adventuring took place via walking, Chocobo, or airship. In their movie, everybody was using Motorcycles (the airship showed up briefly as well as a helicopter, but people shown traveling (i.e. Cloud and…

Good article. One thing I must say is that while the Fallout 3 visual emerging from the Vault was good, I much prefer the earlier Oblivion. When you emerge from the dank and disgusting prison to a pristine woodland (especially with the at the time fresh graphics of the Xbox 360)... one of my most memorable gaming…

Completely disagree. This could be taken as a preservation or restoration of a piece of artwork. PT was hugely popular game that is now unavailable to play unless you had a PS4 when it was available and downloaded it. Changing any aspect of it would be... well...

While the Godfather is a good movie, I certainly wouldn’t put it up there as the best of all time! My personal favorite is The Empire Strikes Back, but I may be like your friend where I love situations that end in the most dramatic way possible.

I will say that I did enjoy Game of Thrones... for a time. While I could…

I’m certainly agree that MMA is a more cerebral sport than soccer or boxing, but I’ll have to disagree with you about football. MMA is a battle, Football is a war. And while you have a legitimate complaint regarding the number of commercials in football stifling the action somewhat, Soccer is not the beehive of…

Clearly he can’t do anything he wants since he did something that got his name taken off the product! From having a full model made in your likeness to getting your name removed from the box art... the man certainly has been on a roller coaster recently...

The argument that I would have against that is that Kojima is a well known developer and has appeared in MGS games before (the handheld version). I think it might less be about his ego or his employees mocking him, and more of an easter egg for fans (and people do develop easter eggs in their own time). I’m not saying…

I love your point, even if you put Pulp Fiction up there as a great movie.

Despite your gross exaggeration on the time, I’ll answer you. Each time the ball is hiked, a new chess game goes into play. Pawns and Knights(Offensive/Defensive linemen) scurry about the line of scrimmage to keep the others out, Bishops and Rooks (Wide Receivers, Tight Ends, Cornerbacks, Linebackers) make long…

I completely agree with you about Basketball, but for the same reasons that I hate Soccer. People like Basketball because it is all flash and action and attack Soccer because of the low scores, but basketball teams will often be 5 points away from each other with a few minutes left on the board. It’s just as boring as…

See, that sounds like a problem to me. “The game isn’t what is fun, it’s the people around you!”. Just have a party! Putting on tennis in the background won’t change the fact that you can still have fun with the people around you. Soccer is still quite boring.

This really isn’t going to move anybody across the line.

Soccer’s rule sets are very specific, and they’re rules that are not enforced in this game. There are no limitations about which wheels can touch the ball, slamming into another car doesn’t produce a card, nor do you have to keep the ball in bounds.

Rocket league…

Not only that, Hideo Kojima is practically synonymous with Metal Gear. I think he’s a big reason why these games are so fantastic... sometimes. They get a little weird, obviously, and I question some of the choices (Raiden? REALLY? Shame on you MGS2!) but I don’t think I want a game where Hideo Kojima isn’t involved.…

I generally try to keep a pretty reserved stance on the interwebs, but this time Joanna? Go fuck yourself. This appears to be a fun little joke on the part of Netflix in recognition of a unique day. This isn’t a manifesto of male dominance. I get that you’re too full of impotent rage and a head full of period blood (I…

I can’t see anybody agreeing with this list, except for the placement of the Cars movies.

First off, Brave is a fantastic movie. While I would typically complain about it being a “girl power” movie (we get it, you’re “rough and tumble” and have no room for boys who are ignorant slabs), it takes the unique role of…

That, actually, is a very good point.

If you’re really into Mario or Zelda... or hell even Marth... I guess I can see wanting to get a little figure of them... but the Wii fit trainer? The villager? Especially when they’re just using this to content lock stuff in games... and people were paying hundreds of dollars for them at one point? It seems like it’s…

I’m 100% with you. At least with games like Minecraft you can keep people from screwing up your creations or playing solo. I get that part of the point is to play with other people... but what if I want to just ride dinosaurs and build space... laser... guns... or whatever you can do in that game? One of the reasons I…
