    Actions in Games That Made You Physically Uncomfortable.

    Yeah, definitely Heavy Rain - that was horrible. Another shout out to Condemned 'cos that game had some twisted first-person melee violence. And as final example Red Dead Redemption - walking outside at the end.... *sobs*

    What type of reviews do you prefer?

    I always like to read a wide mix of reviews - particularly when deciding on a purchase. I have been writing reviews for games, CDs and films for a little while - anyone got any tips for someone trying to write for an eclectic bunch of media? Reviews here - comments are really welcome as...

    Poll: What do you think the Steam Box could bring to gaming?

    Oh - and as a second question - will anyone want to play games through goggles? Would that be a medium of gaming that people want to use, or would it be annoying/dangerous?

    Poll: What do you think the Steam Box could bring to gaming?

    There have been a lot of rumours floating around about the new Valve-developed games console - dubbed the Steam Box. If you haven't read about it yet - check it out here http://eclectic-review.blogspot.com/2012/04/rumour-steam-box-150412-daily-dose.html My question is - what do you think the...

    Poll: New Resident Evil 6 Trailer - Exciting or Boring?

    Totally agree with your defence of Resi 2 and 3 here. Resi 1 was kinda quaint but it did suspense and was one of the original "survival horror" games - so credit to it there. Resi 2 and 3 built upon that and had great stories, settings and a whole bunch of stuff to do so they stand out...

    Poll: New Resident Evil 6 Trailer - Exciting or Boring?

    A new trailer for Resident Evil 6 has been released (if you haven't seen it yet, you can watch both trailers here - http://eclectic-review.blogspot.com/2012/04/trailer-resident-evil-6-captivate.html) My question is - does this trailer make you more, or less, interested in the upcoming Resi...

    I fear for my PS3's life

    You just need to delete some info/game installs to free up some space. The 37GB part is that you have a 40 gig hard drive, and 3GB of that is taken up with the Playstation operating system (the XMB) and any updates that have been installed. A 40 gig hard drive will never actually give you...

    I fear for my PS3's life

    My old 40GB PS3 is doing the same - and always on the same games. During Red Faction: Armageddon it constantly started whirring REALLY loudly - so much that I had to turn the volume up on my speakers! Worried it's about to die too - will be really sad when trusty old steed needs to be put out...

    What should Zelda change?

    Yeah, quite a lot needs to change really. They need to stop "honouring" previous Zelda titles and think outside of the box. Move away from the 2-hour intro - 2 hour learn the basics - 2 hours in the Forest Temple etc. formula. Link to the Past was where it was at - you got story, game...

    Why must every game revolve around making my balls feel big?

    Great thread - video games seem to be stuck in the 1980s when it comes to their characters and storylines. Big white blokes with giant weapons save a bunch of small useless women who (if they're really lucky) might be able to use a bow and arrow or some magic. Worse that that is when they...

    Video Game That Would Actually Make A Really Good Film?

    A few days ago, Youtube user Steelehouse Digital (http://www.youtube.com/user/SteelehouseDigital) uploaded this awesome fan film version of what PAC-MAN The Movie could look like. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out here -...

    Video Game Character You Associate Most With?

    Yeah, if the game offers enough customisation to allow you to feel a connection with that character then yes it definitely counts. Shepard is a close one for me - I'm not as evil in real life as I usually play in Mass Effect - and I usually play as Fem Shep just because you can!

    Video Game Character You Associate Most With?

    A very good evening to everyone! I was just wondering - rather than the BEST character, or the COOLEST, or the TOUGHEST - those are all boring questions - which video game character do you feel most SIMILAR TO? That could be because of how they react to situations, how they look, how they...

    Best FREE game you've ever received?

    Terra Incognito! That was actually pretty good - except for camera angles and controls - but it really was a user-built 3D platformer that kept me going for a few hours. I remember thinking that was quite epic at the time! And yes - it was the demo disc with MGS1 - I had just bought Metal...

    Best FREE game you've ever received?

    Oh. My. God. I had totally forgotten about Net Yaroze! Absolutely loved those games - I remember that Official Playstation magazine disc that came with like 20 free titles to try! Think there was a future/sci-fi shooter that I spent quite a while playing through on that disc - as well as...
