I don't mind DLC too much - I can make my own mind up whether each particular one for a given game is worth it or not. I miss old-fashioned expansions to some extent, and it would be nice to see...

Backed it - it looks like the combat engine could be huge fun, and doing something genuinely different to other games. And I can deal with the deferred gratification at my age hehe.

Managed to stay restrained - in fact I'm almost proud of myself. Picked up Crusader Kings II complete from Gamersgate at 75% off, and Lunar Flight from Steam. I was tempted by Hearts of Iron III as...

Crusader Kings II has its claws in me and I'm now being King of Scotland instead of sleeping. I've utterly fallen in love with the game. Example: last night's couple-of-hours session entailed my army...

There's several ways around this that most Linux distributions make very easy to do these days:

- You can install Linux within windows and launch it as if it's an application. This won't give...

I remember enjoying Shadowman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Man_%28video_game%29), which took place in a non-linear world with Tomb Raider style gameplay and an intriguing setting.

Someone...

Absolutely - I've spent enough time on Bioware and WoW and various other forums to be thoroughly sick and tired of exactly this. I also hate the attitude that I can best express as "While there is...

I'm very fond of the combined first person shooting/third person cover/stealthy movement mechanic in Deus Ex HR - basically the variety of ways that you can move through the game world and approach...

You can just start from the Citadel: The Return autosave which picks up at Marauder Shields and the Three Husketeers, it's pretty quick to whizz through the mission and there's some expanded dialogue...

Well, I replayed the final Citadel mission on my male Shepard to avoid being spoilered into oblivion. I picked destroy, to match the choice I made first time around, and I have to say that the new...

Just to add that I recently bought Wesnoth for my Android phone (galaxy S2) and it works an absolute treat. I didn't begrudge coughing up the couple of quid asking price having tried the demo. Also,...

Hmm... squad based, mission impossible type missions (could be mp) where one guy dresses as a phone engineer to get access to the network, another crawls up the ventilation shaft, someone else is...

Sounds pretty good to me, I really liked the mechanic they worked out for the ME2 suicide mission. Well, anyhow the ball is in Bioware's court now, so I'm going to wait and see what the new ending is...

Rule 34, dude...

Don't you all realise that Valve and EA are actually like the coffee shop chains in Deus Ex:IW? The words Gabe and Valve both have the letters E and A in them, but most damning of all, so does StEAm....

That was definitely my feeling - up until the Citadel moved to Earth, no serious plot-holes had really registered with me, largely because I was having far too much fun with both the game and the...

Never tried a pure biotic in ME1 but sentinel seemed to work OK. I've been playing an adept in MP ME3 lately and really quite liking it, especially if there's a team mate with overload. Armoured...

A quick +1 to Gemini Rue, Machinarium, Ben There Dan That and Time Gentlemen, Please. Telltale also seem to have been on a roll for a while now, though I've only played Sam and Max thus far.

I...

At this point I feel I should confess to being the lone wierdo in the room that actually liked the combat. Even in the first game, which for the record I last played yesterday, having started another...

Iirc it was stated in the Horizon mission that the reason Cerberus can field so many soldiers is that their version of indoctrination allows them to be made battle ready very quickly.

Well, having...

Agreed. Whether kickstarter is a long term success or not, it seems very likely to lead to games being made that wouldn't otherwise. Most of the devs working on kickstarter, or alphafunding, seem to...

I think the free time thing is a big one - as I've got older, I now have a kid (with another on the way, eeeeek!), a house that needs maintenance, a more responsible job that I have to work more...

Hammering through ME3 at the moment, trying to get to the ending so that I can see what all the fuss is about and finally join in the conversation that seems to be involving about 97% of the internet...

Happy to join you with my Engineer (I wouldn't trust him to fix my boiler never mind stop a reaper invasion but hey) - played my first night of co-op in some random matches last night and flippin'...

I would also definitely read this, I like both AAR's (I think this one is probably my favourite ever: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/tag/captain-smith/) and a bit of Napoleon or Empire:TW. I've...
