For dummies indeed...

What about Taiwan? I have a japanese friend who is a big fan, but I am not sure if he went to the cities or the more rural areas (or both).

Elisany da Cruz Silva, 17, measures an unbelievable 6ft 8in tall

The RM thing is just a power struggle between some of the players and Mourinho. I have a hard time seeing Mourinho losing at that game or walking away. It would have to last a long while and translate into some more defeats for the club to drop Mourinho.

What's the point of having an arcade cabinet if it's to play a game that can be played just as well on a PC or console? I would go for a Soulblade Alpha or a Police 24/7 with its vertical screen and movement tracking tech.

I was about to post that "horrible musical" is a pleonasm, but then I remembered South Park: The Movie. Oh... and West Side Story.

I saw it yesterday and I think it suffers from a double lose-lose situation. The first lose-lose situation comes from the total lack of info given on the images you see. That forces them into two categories: the "oh, that again" and the "huh? what is that?". There are some brutal offenders in...

As opposed to the extremely intricate trash mob combat in most FF: A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A *victory music*

I played 8 at the time of its release and never played it since, but I am certain I barely played the card game and I don't remember having to grind anything or draw stuff for ages. I guess the game is what you make of it.

Need some more info... is it a platformer? A shooter? A beat'em all? Was that 1-A 2-C thing branching paths or were levels just divided in areas? The setting makes it sound like Kung Fu or a Ninja Gaiden...

I don't get to play much two players games (other than the very occasional war games / miniature games), but a good two player entry point is probably some non-collectible card games, but I don't have one to recommend in particular. To be a little more helpful, I found youa list of games that...

I'll probably go see it sometime soon, but let's just say that based on the trailer it looks beautiful but stupidly simplistic in its discourse ("oh look how the western world is an empty shell of all-destroying consumerism while Asia is this magnificent realm of spirituality and culture!").

The only way Holy Motors can end up on a top 10 list is if you rate movies based on their greatest moment (Holy Motors does have some great moments - especially a melancholic singing scene with Kylie Minogue in her best Jean Seberg impersonation) or if you rate the concept rather the execution...

I am surprised this company lasted as long as it did. For me THQ is synonymous to a number of atrocious SNES games during the '90s.. Family Dog, Home Alone, The Lawnmower Man, Pitfighter... I guess when your average customer is a parent who does not care or a retarded teenager, it's a viable...

? just rememberedSpace Alertis a very short and very original game that is cooperative. I would say the drawback for a family setting would be that it's stressful, because it requires on the fly teamplay and good communication in a timed setting (the game is played at the set pace of a CD track...

Can you see the theme here? Slight deviation: two videos from some french house/eurodance crew that had the strangest and most brilliantly "fetishisty" idea. NSFW

Sayat Nova really is a UFO, but's interesting to see how its powerful imagery contaminated the work of many current directors. Mark Romanek and Tarsem come to mind. Gadjo Dilo is as energetic and full of life as her main actress Rona Hartner. It was a breakthrough performance, but as far as I...

"a few years ago"

You have to admit it tookironyballs to call this thing R.O.B.

I think one of the unwritten rules of Homeland is that the POTUS is not part of the fiction.

I played a number of games of Twilight Imperium with 6 (8?) players and I would say the biggest problem of the game is that you cannot interact with everybody. So you play 8 hours, but because of something that happened at the other end of the board, a guy is winning and you can't do jack about...

They bought back a lot of good will with a strong finale. I particularly liked Quinn going allThe Lives of Otherson us. I found the music really stood out during this episode too.

American take on giant monsters: Godzilla, Cloverfield. American take on giant robots: Transformers. I fully expect Pacific Rim to continue on that glorious trend... I don't see it being a Super 8 or an Iron Giant.

I enjoyed the masterful planning by Dexter.... "Let's have the kids bother Estrada and surely he will run after them and into my arms" or "Let's have Estrada call LaGuerta and surely she will come and come alone" ... That said I liked the idea of the discussion between Dexter and Estrada...

A family friendly game (rule not too complicated, enough luck involved to give hope to weaker players, no player elimination, no backstabbing, games not too long) that is still engaging isKingsburg.

Mentioned in the remake thread by someone else: the whole serie ofAdventures of Lolo. I love action puzzle games!

Well... there's Steam Boy, but it's animation.

The NES version of Tetris is lame and there are many version between it and the silly DS version you are referring to. I am partial to Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss on SNES myself, but the games by Arika for the arcade (like Tetris: The Absolute - The Grand Master 2 PLUS --- mouthfull edition...)...

As far as RPG oddity go, Grasshopper Manufacture released a bizarre game on DS called Contact. I played very little of it so I can't say much, but you can checksome reviews.

I don't see it, so let me addChip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers. Frantic 2 players co-op, very cool level design and a broad range of actions and interactive items.

Not exactly a remake, but it would be sweet if Kojima did another adventure game in the vein of Snatcher or Policenauts. Sequel? Actraiser please. Skyblazer too. That game had a very cool gameplay and the setting (indian mythology-ish) was cool and original. Remake? Front Mission...

21 posts, not a single porn movie project? Color me surprised! That being said... I think we could use some good movie set in Babylon and packed with action, political intrigues and diplomacy.

Just got back from seeing it in 3D HFR. The movie itself is ok, it has its moments and, considering the duration, the pacing is good as it never gets boring. I hardly remember the original story (my mother read it to me and my brother when we were children so like... 30 years ago?), so I...

This thread made me realize I bought hardly any game in 2012... I played a tiny bit much than I bought as I borrowed some and played some oldies, but still not much gaming at all... I blame sport, movies, tv shows and going back to an ancient teenage love: reading. Journey Sound Shapes...

I hate you and you are not popular, so there you go. A joke!

I played that recently and it goes into the "good ideas but deeply flawed" category. It's interesting to play if you are curious about game design and interactive storytelling, but if you are looking for a good game... well...

Knight & Day is actually a pretty well done action-comedy movie. There is a slump in it where all comedy vanishes, but the rest is solid, if maybe a little old-school compared to the (pseudo)transgressive/regressive tone of current comedies. Rock of Ages is pretty terrible (it's supposed to be...

I was going to post about an Actraiser 2 boss that took me and a friend a number of protracted attempts, true battles of attrition, as you have to fight him in a moving field of air-born pyroclasts... but the only video I found was called "a very easy boss" and the guy kills it in 4 seconds flat

We had those too (I owned one from another brand and I even have some disks still, but I traded the thing for god knows what) and I remember buying copied games from the friend of a friend of a friend who ran a BBS. They surfaced several years after the release of the Super Famicom (SNES)...
