Oh puh-leeze, blocky retro graphics is so 3 years ago. We are over Minecraft!

Numbskuls say no to textures, but go ape-shxt for particle effects to the amount that you can not tell what is going on.

Nobody does "mouse/keyboard envy" like console players.

As if all those mouth breathing console players were a plus.

System Shock 1 and 2 were the true revolutionary games of their day.
Unfortunately Half-Life, which did the same things but more jaggy and with more tedium, somehow had a better PR department.

If you have not played either you are in for a treat, grab 2 when you can.

Idiot. Guess he never heard of DOOM, or stacks of other top sellers that started their runs with free demos.

He should say the truth, which is demos are a bad idea of your game is a piece of crap.

Why can this guys joystick allow such smooth driving control, when PC driving games are utter crap if you try to control them with a joystick?

Whoo-Hoo 3 million copies, not exactly the WoW killer they claimed it would be, a rather small market share.

GW2 is the jumping puzzle MMO.

Colin really needs to get some manly tatoos on his fore-arms to look less wussified.

So far every game that tried steampunk style content has flopped.

Great example of drawing the wrong conclusion from data out of context.

I played this for ages back in the day, but the AI was so primitive, tank rush was the order of the day.

The whole make your own units was rather pointless.

Does the new version offer any substantial improvements?

Unfortunately the alternative to stand and push buttons, is pushing more buttons faster. You ought to listen to just the key board sounds of someone playing the latest anti-stand and fight effort GW2. It's constant tap-tap-tappity tap in an orgy of twitchdom. Congratulations you just turned a MMORPG into a console MORTAL KOMBAT simulator with MMORPG pretentions.

Twitter, as all social media, is so easy for corporate amerika to game with astroturf sock puppet boiler rooms. What a joke.

Wow, someone's crapple fanboi is showing.

Let's come back a year from now, after MS has done to the tablet market what it did to the console market and talk then...

News Comments > Guild Wars 2 Wintersday Event Next Month

Lornar's Pass was over-run with multiboxed rangers running in pairs just last night.

Two rangers + 2 pets, running a circuit around the frozen lake steam portal DE. I saw 3 such groups at the same time there.

Anet adjusted, now the bots have adjusted, and the game of cat and mouse continues.

Fewer people notice it now, cause the bots seem to be focusing on DE's in mid level zones now, which have very few players since most are running FOTMs now.

If by skill, you mean twitchfest gameplay not unlike console button mashers like Mortal Kombat, well, you can have it. Been there, done that.

Meanwhile that Asian Grindfest formerly known as Guildwars, barely managed to sell a fraction of the total WOW subscribers.

So much for heavy front end PR baloney attempts to paint another Asian grind fest as something else.

All hail King WOW!

Ah the library of congress, that last plumb political appointment dream job of so many librarians where even the most mundane of tasks, like preserving the packaging of games denotes not one but several departments, department heads, and sub-departments with sub-heads.
