    It's always funny to see the local 'experts' predicting a top 5 ranking for Germany and then acting surprised to indignant after 'our' song finishes near the bottom. I think unlike in the UK, at...

    Tony Todd. He also played about several thousand other roles in film, television and as a voice actor.

    The bears in Guild Wars obviously have better dental care than real world bears... are there elves running around brushing their teeth every day?

    Yeah, not being at the height it was during the 90s does not make it a dead genre.

    Some Warframe sreenshots. Very tense and atmospheric occasionally, especially in infestation missions (the last screenshot). Also, really sophisticated dismemberment physics.

    Don't forget to account for regional differences. The PS3 is a lot more successful in Europe compared to the US, where the Xbox outsold it significantly. Madden is niche at best in Europe, and for...

    Terraria is a bit of an odd example, as you completely design and build your base yourself, in any form you like - from medieval castle to giant tree house. When specific conditions are met, NPCs...

    Considering Starcraft 2 HotS had WoW-style boss battles, complete with telegraphed attacks and different phases, in an RTS, I think boss battles are safe for now (much like PC gaming).
