"The game is infamous for its large number of dead ends and obtuse puzzles. Late in the game Graham must navigate a frustrating maze where each room is rotated according to the character's perspective rather than being shown with north always at the top of the screen. There are several actions (or in some cases, the lack of an action) the player can take that render the game impossible to finish. These things can make King's Quest V difficult to complete without resorting to hints."

Here's a thing I wrote. It was originally going to be a blog post, but then it got long, so now it's a feature. I am nothing if not flexible.
Figuratively speaking.

GTAIV is very, very good and I think everyone should play it.
Everyone, that is, except for kids.
And old people.
And Patrick.

Hi there! Are you tired of long and tedious think pieces about videogame minutiae? Are you bored of endless Top 10 lists that exist solely to get a rise out of screeching adolescents? You are? Well, boy, do I have a surprise for you.

Originally, this was going to be a big interview feature, not unlike Patrick's upcoming Kenichi Nishi thingy. Unfortunately, with the whole situation right now - you know, with the stock market and Iraq and everything - it didn't quite turn out that way. So here's a straight-up (and totally exclusive!) Q&A instead. Enjoy.

Inspired by the totally sane and reasonable people over at No Mutants Allowed, I've penned what I feel is a comprehensive and utterly irrefutable deconstruction of Bethesda's upcoming abomination – Fallout 3.
Nowhere on the internet will you find such a detailed and persuasive attack on what is undoubtedly going to be the worst game released this decade. Nowhere, that is, except RIGHT HERE on Eegra.com!

So here's our EXCLUSIVE preview of Sand Storm Revelations: The Official Mobile Game. And before anyone asks, yes - it is a real game.
No, I'm not going provide a link.
What? I don't know ... Google it or something. Jesus, you guys sure are demanding sometimes.

This was orginally going to be a little blog post on the new Deus Ex 3 trailer, but somehow it turned into a 1,000 word rant on the entire DX franchise, so I figure I might as well post it as a kind of mini-feature instead. This sort of thing tends to happen a lot with me and Deus Ex, which is why I'm not allowed to talk about it with my friends anymore. (My friends are pricks.)

As part of our ongoing plot to turn all the world's children into murderous psychopaths, I've gone and done a big wanky thinkpiece on using games in moral education. Even if you're not interested in ethics, you should still read it anyway, because it's crammed - and I mean crammed - with pornographic imagery.
Think I'm joking? Click the link and find out.
