    In-Game Purchases

    I absolutely hate those types of games that have a "energy limit" feature. It's really frustrating, especially when it's a good game. "Oh, you want to play? Nah, you're out of energy. Come back in an hour or pay us money to play more!". It's really horrible, in my opinion. However, if it's an...

    Has music changed very much with PC games

    Yes, I do agree that game soundtracks have come a long way in the past years, but definitely for the better! Now, soundtracks are a whole piece of music by themselves, and they have become more and more complex. I especially love the ability that game designers have to make a piece of music play...

    Clash of Clans

    I did play it a bit back. It provided a short thrill, but I found it boring after a bit. I really enjoyed the raiding and defending part of it, but having to buy back all your units, even if they survived, was annoying. It had too much waiting for too little actual gaming time. I felt that I...

    Games you never finished?

    Well I guess it isn't really my problem, but I never finished Battlefield 4. On the Xbox 360, there was this weird bug that just wiped all your campaign progress. It really sucked. I tried getting back into it again, but I couldn't bring myself to repeat all the missions again and find the...

    Xbox One Recommendations?

    Well, it really depends on what you like. For me, Destiny was worth a try, especially if you have a few friends to grab and play with. The Master Chief collection actually seems pretty cool, so I recommend checking that out when it comes out or the new Halo. I'm not sure about The Crew, but it...

    Should Game Makers take a harder line against Cheating?

    Yes and no. Cheating definitely can ruin a game for those who play legit. Hacks take the fun out of gaming competitively, practically killing the whole point of playing. Why would people do it? Not cool. However, there are situations that cheating/hacking should be allowed. For example, messing...

    What if?

    Oh man... Dark Souls... I'd be screwed. Super-screwed. I probably wouldn't even make it past the first enemy. My sword would break, I'd run out of stamina, and then he would stab me once and I would die. Can't imagine that being much fun!

    Plants vs. Zombies

    I finished the game on console, but I never really got into it on mobile. I managed to finish the game without any in-game purchases, so I assume that it's pretty different on mobile. However, in my opinion, the second Plants vs. Zombies on mobile is literally IMPOSSIBLE to complete without...

    Where do you buy your games?

    I definitely prefer digital copies over actually going out and buying a game. It reduces clutter and confusion in the gaming aspect of my life. Seeing my Steam library is just so satisfying. It looks so organized and clear, something that I could never achieve with physical copies of a game...

    Hardware for the future?

    Virtual Reality can potentially be the next big thing, I agree. But it probably won't take the world by storm and sweep the other consoles off their feet. People will probably need some time to adjust to VR as it is a huge step from the console gaming that people have gotten so used to. I don't...

    Any games that work on old phones?

    The Galaxy Mini doesn't have the best specs so I'm afraid you're out of luck if you want to play any really decent games. 384 mb of RAM isn't going to get you far. I'm sure there are at least some decent but simple games that you can play though! Keep looking and hopefully you'll find one.

    Disk vs. Digital Download

    Digital all the way! Lot's of space freed up with it. Plus, you can never really lose or forget a game unless you lose your account. You can play your games from basically anywhere and if you switch computers, you won't ever lose your progress in a game. The only downside to digital is that you...

    Do you think Microsoft screwed up with the Xbox One?

    I totally agree that Microsoft strayed from the gaming aspect of the Xbox One. It seems very jumbled and complex to set all the extra things up and use them. Sure, a few multimedia things are nice, it's a bit overkill on the One. I think that they should've focused more on the ease of use and...

    Older Gamers

    Age is a factor that I really don't mind in video games. As long as they're a good sport and don't mess things up or make the game hard to play, I really don't care about age. I do prefer to play with people closer to my age group though. It just feels more natural since we have more in common...

    Wish List

    So with Christmas fast approaching, what's on your personal wish list? What are you most excited for? For myself, I am thinking of picking up Destiny, or maybe a few nice parts for my PC.

    Achievements and trophies?

    I think of them as bragging rights. On Xbox, I can compare games and achievements, and then say that I have done this, and here's the proof. While you also get mission based achievements that can't really be missed, I regard those as less important, and I see the skill based achievements as the...

    3 Reasons to Buy a 3DS

    Well I think that the two are very evenly matched, but here's three points that the Vita just can't offer: It's a lot more portable than the Vita. The box-like 3Ds can easily fold and fit into tight spaces, and maybe even your pocket, along with a few games! On the other hand, the Vita feels...

    Companies forcing us to play online?

    In my opinion, it's not really a bad thing. Besides, it's the developer's choice to decide if they want to make the game online or not. The online-only thing is really just for security, and I think that it is a smart move to make games like this as it deters potential pirates and hackers (which...

    What kind of device do you have and how good is it for gaming?

    I currently have a Google Nexus 4. It's pretty good, considering the fact that I have had it for over two years now. It still plays new games very smoothly, and the overall gameplay is great considering that it's on mobile. The 4.7" screen is also a nice feature for gaming and everyday...

    Borderlands The PreSequel

    It's not the best in my opinion, but it's still pretty fun! The only bad thing about it is that it doesn't really seem to have much improvements of it's own since Borderlands 2. The story itself is nice, but aside from that, nothing much has really changed, which is slightly disappointing. But...
