    Is Warlords of Draenor worth buying at full price?

    Time consuming though - man, that place took forever to clear. I absolutely hated the first portion. I also recall wiping for weeks on end trying to get the Firefighter achievement, and 0 lights. I think that was probably my favourite raid in Wrath, for sure.

    Star Citizen

    Really? When did you last check in to it? Have you played Arena Commander in its most recent iterations? It has actually come a very long way from when they first released the hangar module and the first version of Arena Commander. The biggest thing for me is decent HOTAS support and having some...

    Is Warlords of Draenor worth buying at full price?

    The community is one of the really nice parts about WoW. Just sitting in your voice chat hanging out with your guildies can be a great way to unwind on the weekends. I remember we used to organize monthly drunken raid nights on our alts. It was always mayhem as we're playing random (often non...

    Have you bought anything during the current Steam Exploration Sale?

    Yeah, the mechanics were appealing, I just have a habit of dropping games and then never coming back to them. I STILL haven't finished Half-Life 2. I'm literally 30 minutes from the ending and yet I just left it. Now it's like "wow, it's so old, is it even worth it?"

    Dune 2 - A building of a dynasty

    Anyone remember this gem? Westwood Studios (long since bought out by EA) produced this game - one of the forefathers of the real-time strategy genre. If you look at it, you can see the foundations for what will later become the venerable Command and Conquer franchise. It was a remarkable game...

    Is Warlords of Draenor worth buying at full price?

    How is the endgame raiding in the latest expansion? I've never been too keen on the lore in WoW, and played almost entirely for hardcore raiding and pvp, occasionally dabbling in manipulating the markets on the auction house. The last I played was in early Cataclysm, and I was beginning to find...

    Early Access: Good or Bad?

    If the early access comes with the caveat of being a paid alpha, then it's a part of the terrible trend the gaming industry has taken towards releasing unfinished products for money. There was a time when alpha and beta access were entirely free because the developers needed feedback on...

    Have you bought anything during the current Steam Exploration Sale?

    Dishonored is on my list of games that I've bought and proceeded to neglect. I got a little bit further in this than most though, spending an hour or two before proclaiming "this is a great game, I'll spend some more time on it!" and then never launching it again. I agree though, there's really...

    Star Citizen

    I guess it does take a certain type of person to enjoy space sims. I grew up playing games similar to it like Wing Commander, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter and Freelancer so this has been a very refreshing throwback to childhood. Also there are just so few (well, until recently) space sims on the...

    Star Citizen

    Anyone else pledged for Star Citizen? I bought a 325a and Constellation back when LTI was available and only recently upgraded my graphics card to allow me to start running Arena Commander. Man, it feels great to be playing a space sim again. The combat still requires some polish, but given...

    Have you bought anything during the current Steam Exploration Sale?

    While I don't agree with piracy (anymore; it's funny how perspectives change when I went from broke teenager to employed adult), I do agree that Ubisoft needs to take a hint that their games are really starting to get bad. Between their DRM (I loathe uPlay) and buggy pushed releases, it's really...

    Have you bought anything during the current Steam Exploration Sale?

    I didn't buy anything and I'm not very worried at all. Hold the line - the winter sale is coming. Between the winter and summer sales, I have more games than I know what to do with. I still have a massive backlog of games from previous years that I've downloaded, installed and promptly forgotten...

    Which games have the best PvP?

    People are still playing SWTOR? I bought and played for about 2 months on launch. Hit cap and got bored real quick. The PvP was entertaining enough for a while, (Huttball makes for some hilarious moments) but it got rather boring. Once they went f2p, I went back to take a look but the payment...

    League of Legends

    I recently started playing League of Legends and just reached level 30 as a support main on the NA server. I've been absolutely loving it and am looking to start playing solo or duo ranked queue soon. From how I've been matched up, it looks like my ELO is approximately high silver to mid gold...
