I think there's room for everybody to have a broad range of games, from 'casual' to 'hardcore', and hell I'd even encourage it. I've actually had less time to become full engrossed by a complex story like Amnesia recently, so I've been spending my time playing pretty great 'casual' games like...
I'm exactly the same. I was once at my local train station, on the top of the walkway over the tracks, watching for the train (highest point in the station so I could see it coming sooner). I was actually pretty happy, just thinking about what I was going to do with my girlfriend (whom I was...
This movie actually looks really epic. It's hot girls fighting and dancing in burlesque costumes. I think that's all that needs to be said.

My thoughts put so concisely. This is why challenge rooms are so important; not all the more interesting (though difficult) puzzles can make it into the main plot, so they need to have somewhere to be.

While speaking to Joystiq at PAX East, Eric Wolpaw was asked about the difficulty of Portal 2. "We're going to train you, at no point are we going to ask you to do something that we haven't prepared you to do," he said. It turns out that Valve with their awesome trickery were monitoring people's...
I spent about 45 minutes in the Apple store in Cardiff today (after realising they sold gadgets instead of grannysmiths). Here's a little something I drew on the iPad's animation app:
I thought it was a pretty nifty animation, so I left it running in the hopes the Apple attendant who finds it...
Yeah, it just seems to be diminishing the steam cloud feature a little to me, I mean if you're using the Steam Guard feature, you wouldn't be able to log onto a friend/family members' computer without first giving it access.
For me though, I can't say I've ever used the cloud feature for that...
In a daring show of confidence, Gabe Newell released his steam username and password to the world during a CeBit talk. Steam Guard uses Intel's new line of 'Sandybridge' processors to lock down accounts to a specific computer, meaning phishing attempts are made redundant if you're using one of...
