I really like the Indiana Jones example. I'd love to see a game that doesn't focus on the battles you fight, but rather, a series of encounters and how you resolve them. Games give us plenty of option ...

This sort of zeroes-in on a problem with psychology in general. Or rather, people's perception of it. Just because something is associated with psychology doesn't mean it's necessarily a mental illnes ...

Really? Awesome! *installs* ...

Yeesh, this commenting thread exploded for all the wrong reasons. Let's see if we can clear up a few points here. 1. This is not in any way a social commentary, as many of you seem to think. I used ...

Mass Effect is another positive step, but much of its alien culture is very Star Wars-like, with humanoid aliens assembled into a very human-like culture. I'll give you the Reapers, though. With any l ...

Of course I wasn't seriously complaining about a short delay. It was a joke.  ...

The developer I talked with said you'll only be able to create a male main character. They're doing it that way to keep the storyline more focused and specific, apparently. ...

I said Cryptic is CoH's creator, which is technically true. ...

I'm pretty sure the "Leaked Video" thing was added in the official release of the video -- again as a joke at Valve's own expense. ...

Apple is... slightly below average. DAMN IT. I'll get better at this. I promise! ...

Are you sure you're in the right hobby? Seriously, I know you like being cynical and all, but a good-looking game is a good-looking game, regardless of whether or not it plays off action movie stereot ...

Taken care of. Thanks! ...

That really, really irked me as well. I wanted to include that in the article, actually, but I hit my self-imposed, keep-it-readable word limit before I could. As soon as I met with the foreman, I tri ...

Warhammer lost subscribers. Warhammer's developer suffered lay-offs. These are both bad things. End. Now, are you going to change the subject yet again? Or can people who actually want to have legit ...

Er, that's a bit of a non-sequitur, and also, those are two perspectives that I reported on. That is, they're not my opinions. Instead, one's an in-depth analysis from Eurogamer that raises a number o ...

Uh, that's not what I said. I believe FileFront completely. FileFront simply made it clear that its ressurection wasn't an April Fool's joke because many people jumped to that conclusion yesterday. Es ...

Stardock is expected to make an announcement about that next month. ...

And you're not being forced to read anything I write. If you don't like it, don't read it. MPC provides you with a service -- not an obligation. It's sad to hear that you have such strong feelings in ...

Yeah, what the title said.I updated the post to reflect that, just so you know.  ...

I was joking. Very nice explanation, though. (And that's not a joke.)  ...

Do you plan on pirating the peripherals as well? If hunks of plastic are central to any game experiences, it's probably these two. ...

No info on price, but Valve would be idiotic to randomly start charging on this -- let's face it -- anemic piece of content. I imagine we'll see a TF2-style pricing structure here. That is, free. ...

Game companies are weird. Q4 will probably occur during what we know as 2010.Still though, it must be weird when EA employee #145 is attempting to celebrate Halloween while his family just wants to op ...

To clarifiy, I meant that, unless you're thankful for this crappy economic climate because you just have too much money, then Operation Anchorage isn't worth your $10. However, using DLC to alter a ga ...

No concrete date, but it's coming this year: http://www.videogaming247.com/2009/01/20/americas-army-3-to-release-this-year/ ...
