I saw Avatar in 3-D. The 3-D is amazing and worth it in and of itself. The story is incredibly cliche-driven, and for some reason, felt very 80s to me. The cast is also pretty flat. The kids won't mind, but if you're as hardcore into film as I am, it will seem very paint by numbers. A similar film i...

Yeah, I thought that was a little weird... especially the sex scene. Good voice actor though, all considering. LOL yeah, I haven't gotten that far, but that was the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard the male voice actor voicing the female parts (what's gonna happen when they get it ...

Unfortunately we can't get out of debt. It would be impossible.... This is because money is created at interest too. The government borrows the money at interest from the central bank and then creates bailouts and pumps money into the economy. There is always more debt than money in circulation bec...

I have it and it's pretty good. I think they could have done a bit more in certain areas but for 10 bucks you can't ask for too much. The voice work is very good, however, it follows the flow of the original text which is a bit awkward at times. What surprised me the most was that you actually need ...

okay well i clicked on the check eligibility button and they the message said they'd be contacting me soon. I'll let you guys know what it is they say. I'm personally waiting for them to host Grim Fandango. I loved that game from Lucas Arts. Grim Fandango will run without many issues on modern mach...

[snip] The only thing I haven't watched yet is the Motion Comic, (which was on Blu-Ray in the Ultimate Cut, nice surprise) I'm hedging on that, I'd rather read. 8) [snip] My brother got me the motion comic for xmas and overall I give it a thumbs up. It's fairly well-produced and more faithful to th...

I saw this place years ago in SF. At the time, I had just purchased Pandora Directive on ebay and my girlfriend and I were playing through the game. "Look! Autotech is real!!" I kept meaning to go back and take a pic so I could post it on the board but never got around to it. But now, thro...

I've played plenty of FPSs... Everyone's point of view isn't always going to be the same... I'm not debating the issue based solely on my opinion. There's quite a bit of empirical evidence to back it up. Have you heard of Fatal1ty? He consistently wins FPS tournaments to the tune of around $500k fo...

Hmm, well, I can't really convince you of the depth of strategy in the top FPS games if you don't play them. It goes way way way beyond "which rock to hide behind". Seriously, try that out on a game like Team Fortress 2 or UT3. It will work once, maybe, and then your opponent will know you...

It's almost like no one wants to "Think" anymore... Games like Tex Murphy and others from 10-20 years ago made you Think about the solution... It made you think on how to get it done... True Gamers know what it's like to be stuck on a Puzzle for 2-3 days or longer... That's what gaming wa...

I have to go against the grain on this subject. What I miss are the old days, but I don't really miss the old games. Back in the late 80s/mid-90s, games on the PC were still a mess. Drivers had to be written to the hardware level (no Directx) and you had to hand-modify startup files to get them to w...

Hey Bafitis, I tried to play the second phantasmagoria but there were way to many movie sequences. It felt more like a movie then a game. I was watching way more than playing. I got P2 as a christmas present and I honestly thought it was so bad it was good. The acting, characters and dialog were so...

There are some great games that were made a long time ago when graphics were very basic. I would love to see a remake of some of those. I would love a remake of some of the old kings quest games, or Countdown by lucas arts. Imagine how awesome Tex could be with today's graphics. There actually was ...

I fell in love with the Max Payne franchise and I felt Max Payne 2 was an incredibly polished game. It's one of those games you like to go back and play every few years (like Tex) to re-experience the rich atmosphere and fun gameplay. Why they didn't keep producing more Max Payne titles, I don't kno...

The holodate one was great because Tex totally pours his heart out and then gets the big dis anyway. It was suprising. Thing is, I don't care for chelsea anyway so I was glad for Tex. Both my girlfriend and I agree that Chelsea is too much of a tease, too demanding and can't make up her mind. If you...
