Although I would rather my great-great-great grandchildren didn't zip around fighting the First Contact war, I might not mind the space magic part. ;) Read more

I actually have an Android phone and do try to cover Droid-friendly apps when I can, but today was a pinch-hit and I just happened to download this one onto my iPod yesterday. ;) Read more

To be fair, it's not a review yet. It's the first of a series of four logs that will culminate in a full review, with all the good and the bad, at the end of July or beginning of August. Read more

Monthly subscription model, $15 per month with bundle deals etc. Read more

For those of us who work from home, remote from Kotaku central in NYC, "the office" is about the only place to have the pets. ;) Guybrush helps me do my job by performing vital tasks like "chewing on my keyboard" and "sticking his butt between me and the monitor when I'm on deadline."

re: your first paragraph I think yes, exactly. He was handing down the story of Shepard, who lived so very long ago (from his perspective) that the story is like any myth you can think of from any culture on Earth. Shrouded in a long-gone past, with just enough truth remaining to make the story work. Read more

Yeah, I give him a pass for this same reason. He actually is someone's grandpa; it's okay if he sounds like it. Also he's Buzz freaking Aldrin. Read more

I'll second "Patch Notes!" That is cute. I also liked "Cutscene" although it kind of doesn't seem to fit, in practice. Read more

In that case, just think of yourself as taking cover behind the horizontal bar. Read more
