I was not satisfied with either the JK or the JKII model of swimming / water-saber. - I didn't like the water wade in JKII. Again, we are dealing in minutia, but I think that after the water hit a certain depth Kyle should have swam. - Even before...  [Read More]

Laptops *do* require special consideration, as things are not always equal to the desktop parts. Your CPU & memory and all of those core components are fine. The lowest part of your system is the video - it seems weak compared the rest. The ATI...  [Read More]

As I've been playing Neverwinter Nights, I've noticed that the animations are all right handed, even in a deep RPG. I believe the same is true of KOTOR. If full RPG games don't adjust your 'handedness', an action FPS won't do it any time soon - espec...  [Read More]

I'm not a fan of anime, either ... but the recent demo of XIII showed (for me anyway) how a simple change in presentation style (in that case it was comic book) can really alter the flow of gaming. So the exact same game, in a different style (anime...  [Read More]
