    David Tennant vs. Matt Smith

    People are voting the wrong way for this poll. If you actually read the chatlog, you'll see that the real question isn't which actor you prefer as the Doctor, it's who's the better Doctor in the better show? The answer to that is quite clearly Matt Smith. David Tennant did a good job with...

    General Gaming Discussions

    Almost all of the games I've enjoyed over the past year or so have been western developed. Aside from Mass Effect, none of them featured space marines of any sort (and I'm pretty certain none of them have anything to do with Facebook). As for cinematic storytelling? Bring it on. I love that...

    Even Moar Persona Foar

    Handhelds are better for RPGs anyway. That's my sole contribution to this topic, since I have no interest in this series or the generic BlazBlue and a combination of the two really wouldn't fix the problem Blazblue suffers from in terms of characters worth giving a damn about to want to play as.

    Your most recent purchases/preorders

    So, I got Driver and Deus Ex at the weekend. Major love for both titles, even if Deus Ex has been a fucking frustrating affair. I can't explain just how much I have a hardcore need to play Arkham City though. Will be glad to get a go in Birmingham in a week or so, but it'll make the wait for it...

    Is it worth buying a PS3 if you already own an Xbox 360 (or vice versa)?

    Not only is this the wrong forum, but this discussion was held in the right forum no more than a week ago. http://www.pokecharms.com/forums/http:/ ... ic.php?t=8 Close'd.

    I've shot from closer range and put them to sleep than the guy I killed with it. The forums have reported it as a bug a number of times, so I'm pretty certain it's not meant to happen. Hopefully a future patch will work on existing saves. I have a save from the start of the 'real' game with no...

    What's next for Pokemon?

    Does anyone care? They've never been of any real interest in the games. Abandoning them in BW was the smartest thing they could have done. It's a pity the Pokeathlon didn't carry over, but that can probably be attributed more to the parallel development of both HG/SS and B/W than a lack of...

    http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011- ... ed-for-3ds Goddamnit Japan. You and your crappy taste for interactive spreadsheets have taken away the one chance for a huge 3DS reveal of a game actually worth playing this year. You bastards.

    From a creative standpoint, it eliminates the chance that someone may be able to use the Sony hardware in a way that they may otherwise be able to. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad for the consumer. This generation, the consumer got to choose their hardware based on price, rather...

    Halo (All)

    The new series has Master Chief, space marines and a bunch of aliens being shot. Seems pretty Halo-y to me.

    What's next for Pokemon?

    If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that they'd stick with the top-down view, but that everything would be a rendered 3D model. As for battles... well, I don't know. Is it inconceivable for them to make a limited 3D battle system for it, using the models in the Pokedex app? No. Would they...

    What's next for Pokemon?

    If it's this article you're referring to, it's pretty clearly nonsense. First of all, Ibe never mentions the 3DS, its inferred by Bulbanews themselves. What the article is really about is that there won't be a third version at all - which is pretty clearly a lie/a misunderstanding on Ibe's part...

    Ended up restarting and keeping about 3 different save files as a precaution. At least I was able to get myself a clean save with the pre-augmented part completed with no kills. Will make it easy to make sure I get that achievement at the end - though my current run is doing pretty well in that...

    What's next for Pokemon?

    I don't know what you're remembering that from, since Nintendo (or GameFreak) have never commented on the possible Pokemon Grey or, indeed any other forthcoming Pokemon title at all. The most we know is that there are plans for at least one DS game and one 3DS game to be announced before the...

    Was rather enjoying Deus Ex until I fell face first into a game ending bug. Now my options are restart again and/or wait for a patch that may never come. I wonder if GAME's return policy includes developer incompetence.

    What happened to the sister site?

    It's been shelved for now. Whether development on it will be picked up again later is up in the air for now.

    Pokemon Rumble Blast (Super Pokemon Rumble) Discussion thread. Thoughts?

    The Wii game was entertaining initially - but the lack of Pokemon and the lack of depth meant it was little more than a short-lived distraction. All 649 Pokemon in this version is a good start, but whether it has any more depth to the gameplay remains to be seen, I suppose.

    What's next for Pokemon?

    That's only 'cos they have a tag on them to prevent it. There's nothing to prevent them manufacturing new cartridges just for Pokemon - they did it for HG/SS.

    What's next for Pokemon?

    Whatever is next, I have a pretty strong feeling that it won't be long before we find out. Nintendo's big 3DS reveal announcement on the 13th really does look like a new Pokemon title is the most likely candidate. Personally, I think it's worth entertaining the possibility that the next main...
