  1. Review Mass Effect would have been better without the RPG elements

    I've not finished it yet, but I am pretty close. So far, I'd say I'm mostly enjoying Mass Effect. It's pretty enjoyable, the cosmetics are fun (though I do question why 'grainy' is a default option) and there aren't any game-breaking flaws in it. I am going to bring up some points I don't...

  2. Game News Mass Effect (and Spore) copy protection PHUN

    This isn't sound logic to me. I can advocate going to support and requesting assistance, and even to the extent that they provide you with a no DRM application, even sending you the game without the DRM even on the install disc, but you can't really justify the effort it takes to find a crack...

  3. Game News Mass Effect (and Spore) copy protection PHUN

    Unfortunately all you're showing is that they're right to go for increasingly more intrusive DRM. You might disagree with their DRM and pirate because of it, but how're they to know? How is the games designing/publishing world to take it. You've still stolen their product. Getting developers...

  4. Game News Inon Zur composes for Fallout 3

    I'm no sound expert or music critic or anything like that, but I played fallout and I enjoy music including soundtracks. I think I have the fallout soundtrack banging around somewhere. So this is my opinion of the samples on the website. Firstly, I actually quite like the main theme. It's...

  5. Game News Mass Effect (and Spore) copy protection PHUN

    I heard about Bioshock, read some previews, read some reviews and was mildly interested in the title. Was intending to buy it to see what all the fuss was about it, but I heard terrible things about the copy protection. So I've never bought it, I don't feel I've lost out by not playing the game...

  6. Preview Fallout 3 nearly baked

    I love this kind of thing. It just makes me think Bethesda are so desperate to try and tie their game into the Fallout series by grabbing every little bit they can from the originals, transplant it and say 'look, it's Fallout!' and if more than one companion is 'too hectic' perhaps they should...

  7. Company News BioWare on steamy girl sex in games

    Why would it have to take forever? Good people should spend the whole game trying to get emotionally attached to that special someone, maybe. But evil people should be fighting the lovers off with sticks, or possibly being fought over by multiple suitors. Chicks dig bad guys, right? And what's...

  8. Interview Fallout 3 Quickie on GamePro

    It reminds me of children in school who don't really know what something is but deny that they are it. 'Jimmy's a caucasian!' 'Am not!' But what strikes me as funny about the whole thing, is that they say they're proud of Oblivion, and lots of people really enjoy the game, gave it game of the...

  9. Interview Fallout 3 Quickie on GamePro

    Isn't this what Beth should have done? Just made a post apoc free roaming sandbox game, rather than having to contend with hoards of slathering Fallout fans? Or do they really need the Fallout moniker and prestige among RPG folk to kick their marketing scheme into gear? Beth fans are likely...

  10. Game News The Fallout Game Informer article

    Well this certainly destroys any hopes I had for the game. I hoped, I really did, that Beth bought the IP for reasons other than profit. Prior to this I could justify not making a rash decision that the game would suck instantly because Beth made it, yet there's ample proof in these pages that...

  11. Development Info Fallout fans ask - <i>Who's your daddy?</i>. Bethesda Answers.

    Funnily enough that's pretty much what my reaction was to the announcement of the voice over. Big woop. No, I just don't accept marketing as truth. I haven't formed an opinion about the issue beyond recognising the actor and trying to understand why this is such a big issue. All comes down...

  12. Development Info Fallout fans ask - <i>Who's your daddy?</i>. Bethesda Answers.

    Does anyone know why they do this, or if this is a trend in gaming as a whole? Going the way of hollywood and trying to promote a product based on star appeal? How many people bought oblivion just because it had Picard and Boromir in it? Was it just a way to get publicity for a game, make it...

  13. Development Info Fallout fans ask - <i>Who's your daddy?</i>. Bethesda Answers.

    It seems very strange for the first details about a game to feature the voice acting cast rather than some more interesting feature like where the game will be set or what the opening premise is. To my mind the inclusion of a father or any family leads down one of three paths. Your...

  14. Interview Pete Hines on Fallout 3

    No matter how many times I read this I can't quite fathom what he's trying to say. Is he saying that they're following the design laid out by the first and second games - Isometric, turn-based combat, retro-futuristic Role playing game with a dynamic character system and open gameplay - or are...

  15. Company News Atari starts sinking

    It just confuses the hell out of me. A lot of publishers proclaim the PC to be a dying games platform. Yet it still accounts (using the UK as a microcosm) for the second largest games market. The potential for profit on the PC is higher than developing for xbox. Just look at The Sims. People...
