I agree with you on some things, but I can't let you get away with saying Star Trek Online looks terrible, I played that game when it launched, and it looked absolutely incredible (Visually) The on-planet landscapes could've used a bit more work, but space itself was jaw-dropping at some parts.

Also, I don't know if it's just your rig or what.. but almost all MMo's have little-to-no stability issues a few months after their launch. WoW started off rocky.. whenever I played it though, I never had any lag spikes, same with my current LoTRO, previous FFXI, etc. The only exception to this was Vanguard, and that's because it wasn't finished before they were forced to launch it.. and because of that, never got the subscriptions needed to fuel its continuing development and if it hasn't already, will soon die a horrible painful death.

Anyway, back to STO, The game itself was all about star trek. They made their devs watch the entire series of every generation of star trek t.v. shows and all the movies before they were even allowed to talk about what they wanted to do with the game.

The ships were all inspired by trek-cannon, the quests had the exploration elements, and fighting of klingons, phasers, torpedos, even sexy mini-skirts. I don't see how you can really say that it had nothing to do with the universe.

^I haven't a clue what you're talking about - here's why the Super Mario Bros. movie is an underappreciated masterpiece.

While I would never say it's a good movie, it's most definitely not a case of "Hollywood not getting it". In fact, it stayed a lot truer to the game than almost any other game-to-movie translations (see above link for a list of references).

I love games a lot, but I'm really ready to play an FPS where I don't have to commit a genocide. Alan Wake and Mirror's Edge both look interesting for that reason.


A first person shooter game that doesn't involve killing.. that's beautifully oxymoronic!

This review is hilarious though.

If you're still not convinced it's a good game:
