As far as MMOs go, it would have to be Blizzard. Their impact upon the genre, whether you like it or not, has been quite impressive.
For off-line titles it's really hard to pick a single company, as what you're really choosing is whoever made your…
Fast travel can artificially inflate the difficulty of capturing points, but removing it entirely is not the option. Providing a means of quick transportation can add another layer of depth to the planning of a siege, assuming you can negate the be…

Using an awful example of a modded UI is kind of unfair. More optio…
It's bad enough being forced to endure signatures telling me to back the damn thing, now you're asking people to advertise across multiple games as well?
When RMT spammers pop-up, they get insta-blocked by the majority of people. Expect to meet a …
I wonder how many pledgers on Kickstarter have ever complained about the price of a video game.
Pre-ordering digital copies of games is mostly retarded.
MMOs often offer early access, either through beta tests or an early starter program where yo…

The thread title hinted at sarcasm, sadly I found none. Kickstarter and its ilk stand as much chance of "saving" games as EA does of destroying them. But really, I'm pleased you're enjoying your fad. Personally I browse through the hordes of terr…
Tension is the correct term here, not fear. A good game will continually build suspense, in the case of many MMOs this is something as simple as watching your HP fall ever closer to zero as a fight continues until the moment of release where you or…
I would have picked Sim City 4, so I could smash my original discs and make a nail bomb for EA,
Otherwise, BF3. Simply because it is a stand-alone title and doesn't rely heavily upon you having played the previous two titles. Mass Effect would…
There was a lot not to like about the game, but overall it worked quite well. Melee combat was clunky and repetitive, sticky cover wasn't sticky enough, exploration was shallow and unrewarding, mechanics were re-used repeatedly with little variatio…
