Grand Theft Auto Retrospective
This series began as a cheap little 2D overhead game and grew into the most profitable entertainment product ever made. I have a love / hate relationship with the series.
Best. Plot Twist. Ever.
Few people remember BioWare's Jade Empire, but it had a unique setting and a really well-executed plot twist.
Batman: Arkham City
A look back at one of my favorite games. The gameplay was stellar, but the underlying story was clumsy and oddly constructed.
Secret of Good Secrets
Sometimes in-game secrets are fun and sometimes they're lame. Here's why.
Fable II
The plot of this game isn't just dumb, it's actively hostile to the player. This game hates you and thinks you are stupid.
Is some fighters and rangers getting outsmarted by a Lich King really that embarrassing?
If I remember right, Liches got quite a bit of an INT boost, while that’s a dump stat for fighters and rangers (probably especially these PCs).
Apart from mindless Zombies and Skeletons (which these don’t seem to be), do the undead really have a reputation for not being clever?
Shamus would agree. Gilbert, the Lich from Witch Watch, was a pretty clever guy.
He’s not really a Lich. He’s a ghost. Or a wraith. Or a spectre? Or… who has the Monster Manual on hand?
There is something about that line that has always sat very funny with me. “We built the place. And we can walk through walls.” You know, because they’re dead. Idiot. It works on so many levels to me.
