His reviews are great, but they're entertainment. This sort of stuff isn't going to "improve the rate of innovation" in the industry, there's simply not enough to them. Really, his reviews are just the same as everyone elses. If you agree with them, he's right, if you don't, he's wrong.

I've got your injection of vitamin D right here, baby... Hmmm, that was disturbing, even for me.

I choose Silent Hill, because Raccoon City gets nuked.

This shall never cease to amuse me.

Stolen from another forum: 1 - Go to Wikipedia's random article page The first article you get is the name of your band 2 - Go to the Random Quotations page The last four words of the last quote is the album title 3 - Go to Flickr's Interesting photo page Third picture, no matter what it is, is your album cover Put it all together to make your album. Either crop it to CD cover size, or just use the raw image itself... the only rule is you're only allowed to add the album title and artist title.

I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I meant that Fallout was the start of the new wave and paved the way for BG (weren't Bio originally going to make an RTS?) which lead to the revivial of the genre as a whole. I don't think Fallout alone could have done it, and BG wouldn't have been without Fallout before it.

BG along with Diablo revived a die'in genre, there hadn't been a noteable release of an CRPG for years until that point, well some people may say M&M was, but meh, it didn't reinvent the genre. CRPG's were well established before this dying off period (see Ultima's, bards tales etc...) but between around 93-97 it was a bleak peroid, where RPG's almost died completely at one point, and what was released was generally extremely poor, BG and Diablo breathed a breath of fresh air into the genre and pushed the bounderies of what found be expected. But it didn't really estalbish the genre, just gave it a jolt. It's like saying WoW was the first established MMO... Everquest and Ultima Online would be better responses and more accurate, WoW is certainly the first widely popular MMO, but it didn't establish them. Ok, so Fallout 1 & 2 never existed? Fallout was the critical success, Baldur's Gate was the commercial success.

Yes, I agree. Anyway, I could link to that TV show where they stuck the words NORTH KOREA to Australia and showed it to random Texans and they were all like, "I didn't realise they were so big", but you know, we already know every demographic has its share of stupid people. got to 3:22

Between this and your weird console ideas you really should see a doctor. You probably have leprosy. At least I hope it's leprosy.

What exactly do you find weird about it?

Real men who like to pretend boys are girls?

I wub you! *kissey kissey* As for my gender... 12 inches of swingin' meat, baby!

Andrzej Sapkowski actually came up with the name, but he let Bioware use it.

"January Eight". Man, what will those wacky Americans thing of next.

Yeah, console gamers love long dramatic titles, like Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, and Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines.

Since when is 40 - 45 minutes "a little over 20 mins"? Commercial emissions... Commercials bump it up to an hour.

Once you visit all cities at least once, you get the option to fast forward to each city from the archway outside Masyaf, so you never have to go through the kingdom again.

Project Origin might not be the graphical leap that Crysis was to Far Cry, or HL2 to HL, but all the screens I've seen do look like an improvement.

You can high five me anytime, baby.

As a former Catholic who has spent many many hours in church I must disagree with that. Better off reading the bible.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory introduced a percentage system that gave you ratings based on your performance during the mission. This meant that I was more likely to try certain play styles, and replay in different ways, compared to the first two games, because CT acknowledged the way I played. I like achievements for pretty much the same reason. The best ones are those that inspire me to play in a way I might not otherwise have thought of. Of course, it may simply be that I'm a 28 year old kiddie who needs appreciation.

Once I got to the alien stuff Crysis became quite a bore, whereas Far Cry still had some good levels after the trigens appeared.
