There was a podcast I listened to where some game critics always under estimated The Sims as a hardcore game because you dont kill people, but otherwise it is like pretty much any other game. Also it has always had a hardcore mod community that scripts, textures and creates meshes and with a...

Dark Corners of the Earth really could have used a sequel, especially one where you dont break both legs by falling a short distance. I'm expecting this to owe more to The Hills Have Eyes and Wrong Turn than to Lovecraft mythos, although some references will probably show up. I'm actually...

Looks like a place to take one of my low level characters, I doubt the swamps will be as scary or rewarding if I go in with power armor and late game weaponry.

It's funny, I went to wikipedia, confirmed that their name is Relic and still wrote THQ. I havent played their new WH40K game but company of heroes is incredibly respectful of battlefield conditions despite being an RTS... I can picture the Relic guys taking into account stuff like cover...

I'm not surprised... I was going to purchase it online but I ended up opting for a DVD (whenever I get off work today) because the online version has a limit of installations while the DVD is the classic "put in your serial code" technique, like they SAID (could be lying) that there is no DRM...

Yeah, with spore just being able to hit a "hardcore" switch would be great... I mean when you play on hard or difficult or whatever it is very challenging but still just as shallow. I honestly did love spore, but it did not become something I boot up regularly which is what I hoped. As for...

Well also back in the day you didint have character models, you mostly had sprites so you needed videos to fill in the gaps. Now even your average RTS has pretty good models that you can puppet into a semblance of acting, so I think developers should avoid pre rendered videos and maybe even...

Some people have them in their back yard (I got hooked on free range eggs in West Virginia) and here in Boston I can easily get one in Chinatown or in this place: http://www.bostonphoenix.com/archive/features/00/04/06/URBAN_BUY.html Still I can picture somebody going into a pet store...

I agree, in few words I would say fallout 1/2 is deep while 3 is wide. 1 and 2 cram a lot of quests, npc's and events into a small area, in 3 there are a lot of places with no dialog, just remains, computer monitors, notes and junk. I love the exploration of fallout 3 (especially finding...

I would not consider L4D to be a beta, it is about as solid as any game released last year. Now I do agree with the full on sequel thing, and I hope they realize that with all the cool stuff they give away for free people will be expecting more than a few levels from a sequel. My hopes: that...

"You know... for my girlfriend". Nah, seriosly I have been an on and off sims player over the years, I love "playing the ball as it lies" or in other words just kind of let the characters do their own thing and if one catches on fire or gets divorced then too bad. The reason I kept...

Still while they are commited to doing a first person game with the franchise I would love to see them contract another company for a "tactics" game, by which I mean full on turn based. Obsidian could do this, although hopefully with a new engine since the NWN one is a little slow and...

My girlfriend is a super cat person and while the scene uspet her a tiny bit, it is handled in a way that didint really offend her. She just kept saying "why didint she buy a chicken?!".

My impression is that there are things they want to do, and that they will use the "this place was not nuked" excuse. That was the idea behind the Pitt, which is warped but not flattened. I dont know how legit this is but I would imagine that there are large chunks of land that would be warped...

BTW I cant visit the site because I'm at work... will this be coming out as a freebie on Gametap as well?

hope you like it... it is not nearly as violent or weird as the Evil Dead movies but it finds a lot of ways to make up for it, mostly by amping the shocks (sudden scares) all the way. What this movie does well is that if you expect a monster to come out of the closet, it smashes through the...

I really enjoyed their Sam and Max games althought I did reach a point where I lost interest, maybe I was just burnt out on 'em. I'll jump in and finish the rest in anticipation for this coming out.

I'm playing Medieval Total War 2 because I have not yet picked up Empires. I LOVE total war... right now I'm playing as the Republic of Venice and all my neighbors formed an alliance against me (including the Holy Roman empire) but after not being able to advance for a long time I finally turned...

Yeah, I forgot to mention this is Sam Raimi from Evil Dead, Army of Darkness and Spider-man, so he loves working comedy into everything he does. What I found really funny was going to rotten tomatoes and seeing that a few critics missed the point entirely, complaining that it was...

The movie is amazing, basically I hate CGI heavy movies that rely on jump scares, but this is by far the best CGI heavy movie that relies on jump scares that I have ever seen. Every few minutes you are assaulted by some inventive and terrifying imagery that makes you cringe. When a lending...
