| I'm happy about hexes instead of squares. It'll feel a little weird for a Civ game -- more like one of the old Avalon Hill board games -- but I'm eager to see how that change works. What I just don't know about yet... no stacking. That's going to be a huuuuuuuge change -- will it feel right if armie... |

| The big difference between the original and the sequel for me was the loss of the intelligence that suffused pretty much every location of the original. Invisible War felt like a port of a console game made by people who played the first game and (for the most part) only remembered the actiony bits ... |

| Depends on the game, really. What I want most from a turn-based strategy game (that would be "strategy") isn't what I want most from a simulation or pure shooter, etc. If I had to pick one general form of gameplay that appeals most to me, though, I'd have to go with something that didn't appear to b... |

| I've really been enjoying using the Creature Creator -- I even plunked down the cash for the almost-complete version. That said... Vert-? Sigh. Am I the only one who's disappointed at the prospect that Spore itself may turn out to be yet another Vert- game? Did I only dream the response to BioShock'... |

| Portal for me. It's the most remarkable balancing of action, problem-solving and storytelling I've seen in many years of computer gaming. Lose any one of those, and it's just another game like games we've seen before; integrate them all as elegantly as Portal did and you wind up with a uniquely memo... |

| Hmm -- I guess I should add that I wasn't checking because I wanted to register the name! I had an idea for a web service some time back. When I checked WHOIS to see if it was taken, not only was the most obvious form taken, so was every close approximation. In a number of cases, they appeared not e... |

| I was reading over the FAQ (since I was about to give it as a link to some folks interested in widescreen gaming) when I noticed something funny: there's no definition given for "hor+" and "vert-" and the variations on these terms that describe widescreen implementations. Could the FAQ be updated to... |
