She looks kinda scary in your avatar. I totally liked Charlotte as well, it was sad when she died. And she even knew Klingon, damn you, cruel writers! I guess the writers wanted to show us that you can't change the future(maybe Desmond can). I also really like Daniel Faraday, he looks like a very complicated character.

Yeah, I didn't mean to troll. It just made me curious when people saying that they are going to buy a PS3 to play it. I'm sure it's a great game.

Well watch this:http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/36-God-of-War-Chains-of-Olympus And the fact that it's a very POLISHED hack and slash that also has maturity about itself (it's not screwed up "mature" title that's only trying to sell the sex). It redefined parts of platforming... I don't know it felt like i was playing Prince of Persia but instead of finesse and agility I had brute strength. I have seen that video a few times already, but thanks I didn't know it had any platforming in it. So compared to games in general, it is the Halo 3 of Playstation? Polished to perfection and using the system's power to the max? EDIT: Oh and does the maturity come before or after the sex minigame?

Pardon my ignorance, but why is God of War so great? Isn't it just a beat em up with QTE boss battles? Sure it looks pretty, but it seems a little shallow.

Yeah Silent Storm is great... until the mechs show up. They are still making a "real" JA3 IIRC.

If you read the EULA, you will notice "your eternal soul" in fine print at the bottom. The expansion packs may also require your firstborn child and a sacrificial virgin.

Ah, those were simpler times. Anyone remember a thread on the old BIS forums where someone complained that the "W" in the Icewind Dale logo looked like boobs?

Now look what you did, you made all the recovering WoW addicts crawl out from the woodwork. They shall know no peace.

Isn't communication with the outside world prohibited? Wouldn't the DS's WiFi tip them off? You can always get a book, though...

Yes, but they leave some of their stuff behind in a "wreck". There's all kinds of cool stuff like non-standard weapons, drones, relatively expensive stuff(real market and all). The best part is that you can use most of the normal small-ship stuff right from the start if you get the required skills at char-gen.

true dat. *considers* Come for the unified server, stay for the phat lewt.

I almost tried Eve a long time ago, but what stopped me was when I found out it wasn't a dogfighting space combat sim. I love dogfighting, in space or otherwise. But when I realized Eve wasn't twitch-based, my interest dropped dramatically. But if I read something wrong at some point, please feel free to correct me. No dogfighting, sorry. But are you going to play WoW for the amazing medieval combat simulation? Just saying that if you are going to hit up a bunch of MMO trials, don't miss EVE. It's actually pretty fun, for a while.

If you're on a MMO trial spree, I highly recommend trying the EVE trial as well(if you haven't already), it's pretty fun and no server choosing

I was going to buy that, but I never did because in the end I thought it would be to boring with just action. Now I am sad. Oh yeah, it's awesome. Yes, it's not all that serious, but kicking someone into a beam and then having a bunch of barrels fall on their head is pretty damn awesome. It also gives you a great feeling of your body, you see your arms and legs and when you climb for example your head moves appropriately. And you get to kill giant Cyclopses and Dragon-like things.

Reminds me of the time I dropped a TNT box from the top of the Statue of Liberty in Deus Ex and a guard who was 5 meters from it went "Must have been the wind"

Umm, so it's a drama about Ripley's hard life after battling the aliens? I like Ripley, but not that much. Now, if it was about the ALIENS then we would be talking. Hmm Sarah Connor Chronicles... Ellen Ripley Chronicles... But only if it has aliens. EDIT: <3 Ridley Scott!

Woo, free stuff. From what I've heard there won't be any new campaign's though, just 2 existing ones available in versus mode and a "survival mode". Hope that TF2 Scout update comes soon...

Funny you should mention that, Dark Messiah had a special bow that magical rope arrows.

It's probably just the case of a younger medium. I think the "interactivity" argument is stupid. ESRB: Game experience may change during online play.

You've never heard of estonia? the tiny former soviet country that's on the leading edge of where russia is now? I can't say I blame him, half of Europe can't tell the difference between Estonia and Iceland... And I was just kidding about the crazy part. I can see the point of a jury, it just seems like a relic of earlier times, considering that it's just annoying to most(some) people now. Here's an idea: we have e-voting with mobile phones and the internet, how about you make an e-jury where you can just vote over the internet?

God of War is the only game I've ever known to actually have shots of the human breasts... (well AOC had that but it died faster than you can say smarf!). In all honestly I admit that had I been on the ESRB I'd probably have either slated it for AO or rebuilt the M and AO boundary line. I think that they should change the AO rating to X-rated like with movies. The new X-rated rating should be reserved to games that are clearly erotic in their nature(so basically porn games). Mature would remain and include everything that does not feature prominent intercourse. Of course that won't probably happen anytime soon. The gaming generation needs to grow older and shatter the prejudice against games. Also companies need to push the boundaries and make GOOD mature games to show what the medium is capable of.

Yahtzee reviews the Thief series Yay, maybe he will eventually get to isometric RPGs or other cool stuff. EDIT: Also he didn't mention the fires in Australia, so I guess we can presume that he is OK.

Morgoth mentioned quickload, so I though we were talking about single player. Multiplayer is easy: when you die you respawn after a period of time or at the end of the round(CS), what's the big deal? EDIT: apparently this grew out of unlimited ammo discussion. This thread is so off the rails that in a parallel universe there is another thread like this and that is ALSO off the rails.

"sweep and clear" Yeah, but if this keeps up and there will be no penalty for failure, then games themselves need to change, a lot. If Halo 7 will be just a shooting gallery with pretty graphics then they might just as well ship the game with two discs: Halo 7 - The Movie and Halo 7 - The Multiplayer.

But that is pretty much a given. AT least in terms of the difficulty of the combat. btw, its not dumbing down. it's streamlining. Which always reminds me of Full Metal Jacket: It is no longer "search and destroy"; it is "sweep and clear". lol. Sweep and clear it is then. I would actually like to know how they are going to improve the Alien gameplay. I totally loved the AvP 2 alien campaign. It was so refreshing to have no guns and start out as a facehugger and advance on from there. I loved climbing in vents and overhearing conversations(kinda like NOLF). I also loved the wallclimbing, but it was horribly disorienting and the little arrow didn't really help. Maybe they will get some hints from Mirror's Edge? About time something good came out of that.
