The Wrex incident is a perfect example. Most RPGs today don't really put any consequence on dialog choices, or really ANY choices. It cheapens the experience when you know that no matter what choice you make, everything is guaranteed to be a-okay. More games need to have situations where if you make the wrong choice,… Read more

I'm cautiously optimistic. A new direction could be very interesting as long as they keep the over-the-top, ridiculous, "so-stupid-it's funny" style that sets the game apart from it's more gritty counterpart. Sci-fi would be awesome, and it'd make sense. If they want to keep the game in Stillwater (which I think would… Read more
The German box looks really awkward. The hand is grasping. Hands don't grasp with a thumb tucked down like that. Read more
@DanimalCart: I think Nintendo is Japanese. Read more
This is kind of a cool idea, but due to the way copyright works now, I doubt they'll ever get a comprehensive collection. In a perfect world we wouldn't have the ridiculously long expiration times that we do now and they'ed be able to distribute any old abandonware games they could find. Read more
@KaliOhlund: The fact that something like this is unacceptable to a large enough portion of the population to be an issue DOES make the culture, while not necessarily evil, at least somewhat incomprehensible to a lot of people. Now we must not forget that this obviously isn't the entire population, but anyone who is… Read more
Vote: Winrar. Nag screen is worth being able to run things directly out of the archive, even if they depend on multiple files. Read more
@KINGZ: I really don't want to turn this into a political debate, but seriously? I respect your opinion on the 2nd amendment, but government control? Where have you been the past 8 years? The Bush administration increased government power more than any administration in decades and Palin's record plus John McCain's… Read more
This is kind of cool, but I honestly don't get the point of Gears. Most people are always online these days. Gears would have been great back in the days of dialup but it's usefulness seems extremely limited these days. Read more
A high definition 2D Castlevania would be AWESOME, but I doubt it'll happen. When people think 2D, they just think oldschool SNES style 2D. There have been as many advances in 2D games as there have in 3D look at games like Odin Sphere, Braid or the upcoming "The Dishwasher." High-Definition, modern 2D has a huge… Read more
Not bad, but I still think Luna Element is the best XP theme out there. Read more
Hopefully they wont require a disc in the drive to play. It's incredibly easy to bypass and annoying for those of us who don't want to crack a game we bought. Read more
For better or worse, even if they fix the new DS for the current generation of "homebrew" devices, like the R4, which may or may not even be possible, people will find another way. Read more
Is Cliff seriously going by "Dude Huge" now or is that just a Kotaku joke? Hilarious, either way. Read more
