The Gamer's Quarter

I had a lot of reservations about picking this up, but a long flight and a lot of downtime in airports made me think it was a good idea. I'm still slogging through it, but here's something that drove ...

I'll actually be popping in and out of all those shows all weekend. Good luck!

GilloD's got it. FFVII is a game for 12 year olds, just like early Weezer is

Haha. I wouldn't quite say that, but it doesn't compete on the level it's been elevated to. It's like the anime nerds w ...

In terms of ideas for the magazine, though - have you guys ever considered offering subscriptions? I prefer reading a hard copy of something when I have the opportunity, and it'd be kind of cool to ha ...

All the cool kids now hate Final Fantasy VII. Come on man, everyone's doing it.

I think we were all like 12 when FF7 came out and so it was the Cat's PJs. It had dudes with big swords and jiggly h ...

Couldn't you consider Animal Crossing just to be a Harvest Moon clone? I mean, I've never actually PLAYED Animal Crossing, but what do you think about that comparison? And the Sims . . . is that reall ...

As excited as I am for Dead Rising (It not only sold me on an XBox360, but a 32" TV on which to savor it's HD goodness), it looks to be little more than a better thought out State of Emergency.

I ...

Well, it looks like I am not too needed here, but I might as well chip in my opinion too.

Wes summed up most of it. Bandwidth is only an issue if people start to steal images. At one point b ...

I adore Lightning Bolt, but my playlist lately has been:

Tokyo Police Club and Be Your Own Pet. Both. Are. Awesome.

There's been a lot of beating around the bush here, I think. The only thing I knew about this game coming into the thread was that it was "controversial". For the 3 (?) of you who have been playing th ...

I don't know, I had some fun with it. But then, I also really liked God of War.

And calling it exploitative seems a bit harsh, because you could argue that it is trying to bring to attention the ro ...

Emotion is a redeeming quality, is it not? The game is immersive and emotional in its brutality, not unlike many films.
I might get a little long winded here, so bear with me: Do games reflect any ki ...

I have always talked to people who confirmed my opinon that Manhunt is basically the kind of thing that I shouldn't support in games. Gratuitous violence for its own sake with no redeming qualities. ...

where in brooklyn?

the gnarls barkley album is quite smashing.

On the outer edges of Williamsburg, like a block from the Grand Street L. Nice place, can't complain.

I didn't mean to dissapear from the discussion, but I got a real 9-5 that was annexed with apartment hunting for the better part of last week, so I was getting in at 11 and waking up at 6 and the inte ...

I play WoW because I've got a lot of free time on my hands at the moment. I have to say, if someone called me up and said "Hey, let's go see Les Savy Fav!", I'd drop my WoW game in a heartbeat. Howeve ...

Eggers puts together a good sentence, sure. And if he wants to, Eggers can put together a good story. He just doesn't use any of his talent for anything productive. A confessional memoir mixed with ...

I've been reading and re-reading that statement over the last 2 days and I have to wonder: How did we come to this conclusion?

His words are "Will be released in the Americas" not "WILL ONLY BE RE ...

So, I played WoW last summer, had my fun, and sold it on Ebay just to rid myself of it. I went to Best Buy yesterday to pick up NewSMB and ended up with World of Warcraft. What's wrong with me? I alre ...

Oh, my brothers! Why must I hate so many things? Is there no peach for this foolish boy with a heart of iron?

No...not when dishonest, evil tripe like Lucky Wander Boy is continually thrown upon my ...

In this thread, we appreciate Punisher: The Arcade Game.

Why?

For one, there are a lot of weapons. And I know this sounds weird, but they have a really physical quality to them missing from anyt ...

ShaperMC! I kind of fell of the planet for 2 months there. I'm graduating in a week which explains most of it. Ugh.

Anyway, I played Morrowind on PC and ADORED it, but never quite got all the way t ...

Ketch: On 1, I think the game appeals to a very particular subset of gaming. I'm not going to split it into the smart/dumb kids as seems to be the game in most corners of the internet, but I am strong ...

we had a special Halo mode called "Gentleman's Duel", wherein you'd stand at opposite ends of a map (The one with the 2 bases and the Cliff sniping spot and, uh, the teleporters and the, crap, I just ...

I've got a lot to say on this topic, but I've also got a paper due in 2 hours, so real quick:

I think what the game did so splendindly was to attack it's own meta-narrative. I'm reminded of that mo ...

GAF kind of hated it, which means we all did a great job! Nice work, team.

Faced with the prospect of having no books for the following school year OR books and a few soda machines/banners, it's a hard choice to make. I certainly resent commercial influences in public educat ...

A DS port of this would be the very, very end of me. I just picked off like a punk by a Diakon radish I completely underestimated. I still haven't made it past the mountain stream Sad

i would say it has a lot to do with commercialism too. high school students are a valuable demographic for them big soda companies!

Oh, no doubt. But the reason schools are so complicit is bec ...

I remember a game when I was like, oh, 5 or 6 in the late 80's that was a lot like Burger Time. I think it was called "Let's Diet!" and the whole premise was that you collected veggies and healthy sna ...

I actually went out and got a gamepad to play this. What a delight!

I used to use Kaillera pretty regularly, both across the web and across a network. Over web, it'd rarely work long enough to finish anything of significant length (The Capcom DnD game, the old Spiderm ...
