Agreed. It's unfortunate, and I don't think it's impossible to pull off good pvp, but STO is quite a fine PvE game, especially after the STF revamp and the borg invasion.

Extremely tangentially related, but I adore Romero's theme to Neverwinter Nights II: Storm of Zehir. It just fits so perfectly.

he mad.

Arkham Horror! Pandemic!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...!

Pfft ... Metal Gear has nothing on Xenogears!

Somebody needs to push back on the 'priced fairly' idea. Goods do not have intrinsic value. A good is worth as much as the market is willing to pay for it. It doesn't matter what bells and whistles it has or even if it's selling for a loss; if the market is not willing to pay the asking price, it is overpriced. It is…

You might work in marketing, but you're just wrong, there. You can say you're the best at whatever you want so long as you have some evidence (as flimsy as a focus group or a paid study) saying that you are. You can also generalize and approximate. In fact, almost no marketing is of the kind of accurate that gamers…

While I sympathize and definitely agree that Fish is an unmitigated ass, it's important to separate the artist from his work. A lot of the best stuff is made by terrible people (I'm looking at you, Wagner), and despite this, the unattractive parts of them are rarely the side that is displayed in their work.

Shorter this thread: teenagers interject in scientific debate without any actual data to back up vague opinions and statements that things are 'obvious.'

'Riki! Feel the flow of battle!'

Everyone who wrote off Riki as a stupid cute mascot character and ignored him did themselves a massive disservice. I will say that I very nearly did, but when *SPOILERS* realized that being the heropon wasn't the result of some fuzzy fighting tournament, but the Noppon equivalent of bankruptcy *SPOILERS* I dug in a…

While I disagree with basically ... everything in this review, that's your opinion and I of course have my own.

My ME1 got champagne in it, fam!

It's reportedly going to have a POWER7 CPU. and an R700 GPU. Stop buying into nonsense.

My only addition is that Ghost Recond: Shadow Wars deserves mention among the launch lineup. Absolutely brilliant game.

First, that's a hell of an assumption that "focus on story" creates a "negative effect."

Excellent read, although I think most of the second half is based on a false dichotomy; the idea that the establishment is somehow more homogenous than the independent sector. This simply isn't true ... there are of course many exceptions on both sides, but the rule for indies has been old-style 2D platforming and…

The review itself said no to that. If you are a lefty you can use the CPP for movement instead of the left stick. Otherwise, you're using face buttons, or just using the right-handed control.

If you aren't an annual pass sub, then the chances of getting one are diddly/squat.
