PS3, X360- Dragon's Dogma
- Review
- Capcom has delivered an open-world game with tremendously fun combat, a hilariously crazy ending, and not much else.
PS3, X360, PC- Game of Thrones
- Review
- There is probably a great role-playing game to be made out of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, but Game of Thrones isn't it.
MAC, PC- Diablo III
- Review
- The first Diablo game in over a decade is also one of the most insidiously satisfying loot treadmills in almost as long.
PS3N, PS3, X360, PC- Prototype 2
- Review
- Prototype 2 gives you some interesting abilities that can be fun to use, but it doesn't give you enough good opportunities to cut loose with all that power.

Huh... A new game from Russia looks like Fallout... but Russian!
on the General Discussion board.
Well, it's certainly interesting. We don't know anything about the game play, but the premise sounds good. I've run though the American wasteland, so I'm up for wandering through a destroyed Soviet Union.Actually ever wonder what life is like in all the not-nuked parts of the world in these scenarios? What's up if you just live in Nigeria or Uruguay?

Wow..."38 Studios founder Curt Schilling announced on Twitter yesterday that Reckoning sold 1.2 million copies. Chafee said the game needed to sell closer to three million."So this is the market now for video games. Over a million units sold isn't enough to break even. Really makes you think about those games that sold only 30 or 40 thousand copies.I suspected things were going bad when I read that the top ...

Help me decide between Dragons Dogma and Skyrim
on the General Discussion board.
If you looking for action-oriented combat in an RPG, have you considered Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning? It's a little more "high fantasy" than TESV or DD, but there is a PC demo out you can try to see if you like the action. There are enough reviews out to describe the world and quest system so no need to rehash that here. I'm just offering an alternative choice. I love ...

I visit them nearly as much as I ever did. Slightly less for Screened, but the same for Anime Vice. I was never a regular over on Tested. Screened still has a good community with some decent conversations going on. Unlike a lot of other people I guess, the WM personalities (Alex and Rorie) were never the big draw for me, although I did like Rorie and his puppies. The ...

What would you do if game prices went up next generation?
on the General Discussion board.
There was a similar thread just last week (May 15th).If games cost $70 for the next generation of consoles, would you buy less of them?I'd do what I currently do, wait until the price drops.

Would you eat a friend's severed leg, as described on the most recent bombcast?
on the Bombcast board.
No, I don't think cannibalism can ever be classified as "guilt free". Eating some part of another human being as if it was on the menu from Applebee's isn't something I would elect to do. I can excuse it in one of those trapped-in-the-Andes situations, but not under any casual dining circumstance.

This looked really entertaining to me. I know the reviews are middling, but I think I could get a fair amount of play before getting tired of it. I plan to pick it up at some point in the future. I hope it does reasonably well since I'd love to see a sequel that adds more creativity to the world and addresses some of the other issues critics have had ...

This past month I saw that Crunchyroll launched a Windows Phone app, so perhaps they'll announce one for XBL this E3. That would be more relevant to modern anime than Manga Entertainment, I believe. Every E3, Microsoft tacks on a few more services that can be seen through your Xbox, so it's not unlikely.

The usually stuff; kidney pie, toad in the hole, bangers and mash, etc...Actually, breaded pork chops, stuffed peppers, pot roast with potatoes and carrots, and chili with rice are menu favorites in my household. Corned beef and cabbage also appears more often than just on St. Patrick's Day. As stated above, America (at least the two northern nations) is mostly made up of people from other parts of the world ...

It was my experience that cancelling auto-renewal through your Xbox doesn't work. You need to talk to a customer service representative directly to get it done for certain. Back when I had a Gold account, I tried the ways above and it would show up on my billing still. Finally, after my account was hacked, I got it taken off and haven't had a bill since. I looked around the ...

BioWare Lays Off Chunk of ToR Staff

This makes me wonder how much more additional content will be added to the game in the future.

Have you ever been compared to a video game character?
on the General Discussion board.
Misturu is attractive, certainly, but she also presents a strict, perhaps even cold outward identity. Inside she's much more vulnerable, but you need to level up her social link to see what's behind her composed facade.And, no I've never been compared to a game character but I have been to a few cartoon characters.

Is someone still into Facebook games?
on the General Discussion board.
My mother was into them for a while, but even she quit so you know they're losing their appeal. Well, the Zynga games at least.

may 20, family guy episode....what? spoilers
on the Off-Topic board.
I turned it on last night during commercial breaks in Mythbusters. I watched the chicken fight. After it's conclusion, I hope that's the end of it. I was disappointed (not a feeling unfamiliar with this show these days) that there was no bridge to the fight. In the past, Peter was always doing something or having a conversation before the fight, then he gets distracted by the chicken and the ...

I bought Oblivion for the 360 first and then again later for the PC but that was the Game of the Year edition with all the DLC included. Since Skyrim hasn't released any DLC, if you plan on repurchasing it, I'd suggest waiting until that version is released. By then there should be 10 times as many mods out, too. The Skyrim creative content community is still releasing stuff daily, ...

My sister just told me her plan for when the zombie apocalypse happens. I didn't have the heart to tell her that she is going to be one of the first to die.

Cool beans, Thief 1 and 2 are now available on Steam. I'll be sure to pick those up during the next big sale thing.
