I know, didn't they get the memo? Everyone is supposed to automatically hate everything from now on! You're not allowed to be hopeful!

I understand where you're coming from but I challenge you to find one game that isn't basically the same thing over and over again. I'll give you that MGS is one of the best for breaking this trend (I only played MGS3 but the others are probably similar). It's fun because you have to approach...

This is entirely subjective and I think it's ridiculous for the OP to claim that basically any video game he doesn't personally like doesn't even meet the definition of a video game. Now, of course, it's an old-school vs. new-school gaming argument, which is just as silly. The old-schooler...

You do know what happens to her if you detonate the bomb, right?

Funny, in my case, I never played Oblivion and I had a hard time getting interested in it at all when I tried it at a friend's house. But the Fallout setting helped me really enjoy FO3, at least for some time. I've put in about 50 hours now and, while I have started a new character (this one a...

Harold isn't a normal ghoul, so he won't necessarily look the same as the others.

You know, I think FO3 would have been better if Oblivion had never been made. Well, scratch that, Oblivion's release allowed Bethesda to make some changes based on people's criticisms of that game. But I never played Oblivion and I rather enjoyed FO3. If you never played Oblivion, it probably...

You do know you can turn that off? In some ways it actually makes the game slightly harder. Most of the time, when you die in a game, you immediately go back to your last save, and more often than not, the game auto-saved not too long ago. When you do that, you get all your items back...

I like shooting plungers with it and pretending I'm playing Rayman Raving Rabbids :lol:

I liked Portal. It definitely didn't deserve the insane amount of hype, but I still think it was a good game. Team Fortress 2 (the main part of the Orange Box) was overrated, IMO. Then again, maybe that's just because I suck at it ;). Personally, though? I think WoW is the most overrated game...

Sadly, that's the case with most big games these days. Not only that, but even when reviewers aren't paid off, there is so much score inflation that you can't give a game below an 8.5 (or a highly anticipated game below a 9.0) without being ostracized. What's the point of game reviews if you...

Not a joke, though I mistyped and meant to say Fission-powered. There's no way of knowing what power source the battery uses. You can pick up fission batteries in the game, though, and they're pretty heavy at 10 WG. If you want to put it in an "everything has to make sense!" perspective...

I think the "Nerd Rage" perk is more representative of NMA, even though it's obviously not an actual reference to NMA specifically.

No, that's not what I was talking about. The consensus among reviewers is that it's a very good game. The consensus among most individual gamers that are not gigantic Fallout fans is that it's a good game as well. That's what people think of the game on its own (without considering its history)...
