Being in the UK has denied me my ability to truly take in this series, and so I'v only played V (and Tierkreis), but I loved that game and want the olders ones to be released on the PSN (including V because I had to replace my fat PS3 with a slim after it died on me).

I was with a small group of mercenaries. They were all lost to a common foe. I'll join you!

''This new RoboCop? I'll buy that for a dollar!'' Well, only if it's half-decent and not as it appears via the trailer.

Peter Weller did a fantastic job as RoboCop. The fact that he practiced mime before the role to nail those movements is obvious (in a good way). This Murphy looks like 'Iron Man in Mega City One'.

What the hell is with an organic right hand? Why wouldn't he at the very least have a glove on there? I'm going to assume they've actually kept most of his body intact, compared to the original where they try and even the body out. You see too much of his face as well.

I would love to see someone do a science fiction game based around the turn of the last century, rather than the 'realistic' approach they use now. Though I'd also love to just see an open-world steampunk RPG with aliens in it, so perhaps I'm baised (it's probably no surprise that my favourite town/city in Ni No Kuni…

That's an unfortunate problem with the way people choose to portray ''the future technology, today'' in games and films. I'm not going to excuse lazy aesthetic similarities, because it's tedious, but I will say it's not too surprising a low budget series isn't going down a radical aesthetic route. I'd like to see them…

You've hit the nail on the head. The characters are what I like about Mass Effect, not so much the over-arching storyline - which as you say is hardly original.

I agree the car scene is funny, and obviously so far over-the-top that it becomes ridiculously funny no matter how many times you've seen the film. If I hadn't watched so many films, I'd probably not have found it quite so funny, but it really feels that almost everything set after Vietnam has a war veteran. I've seen…

After taking a few moments to collect myself, I can safely say I'm very happy and excited that the sequel appears to be heading this way. I only played the first game this year, and somehow hadn't heard it ended on a cliffhanger; It was similar to the sensation when you go to have another sip of coffee (or else your…

I was also thinking she looks like she's been caught in a compromising position. Of course she's the figurehead on a ship, but still. It looks wrong.

If an RPG set in space that has decent RPG features is a rip-off of ME, then damn, that leaves them with few options to avoid such a branding.
Personally, I'd only consider it such if there were comparable races, politics and main plot (the imminent arrival of the Reapers/giant space entities from an ancient time).…

perhaps there are less people like that here in the UK, and we certainly don't have the veteran trope (given that the Falklands most well-known solider here lost half his face in a fire, and everything since has been too recent, we simply don't confront it the same way). You're right though, they are real enough in…

Definitely agree with you there. Likewise the person referring to it as a neo-noir film - though I've seen it be called many similar things and agree with them. Another thing I love is how Walter represents the movie vet to such a ridiculous degree that all he needs to say is one line linked to 'nam and I start…

The survey asks the wrong question. Uncanny Valley as I understand it is the result of the realisation that something isn't 'right' after the initial encounter. Asking people how they felt when confronted by something they know to be artificial beforehand seems kinda silly to me. I've experienced it when I see jarring…

I always felt with the name 'Banshee' it would have been more logical to base it on a TVR (Griffith, Chimaera, etc). Mind you, I'd just as logically base it on a car with an engine that screams, rather than roars. But them silly Scottish folk at DMA* thought otherwise, clearly. Maybe it has a bronchial infection?

*I…

I've never smoked weed (or normal cigarettes for that matter) and I love the film. I love it for silly lines, for how laid-back the Dude is. I love it for the dream sequences, the characters, and even the cinematography. I love the ridiculous bowling posters, the bowling cassette the Dude listens to, and the rug.…

Not going to happen, but it'd be cool if there was a Billy and Mandy joke in there somewhere (the VAs for both of them are in this).

Slight correction needed there: It was firing at the same time that improved accuracy (because you're dealing with recoil for both guns at the same time, rather than having to adjust the aim for each gun afterwards).

They did this myth on Mythbusters twice. The first time, they fired the pistols at the same time and it dropped their accuracy severely. The second time, they did as you had, and fired sequentially, and it actually improved their results from the control of a single pistol in the standard stance.
I can't imagine in a…
