Brilliant! A very thought-provoking analysis Bob! Please do "Manos: The Hands of Fate" next. I'll jump start you, shall I? Manos: The Hands of Fate has been lauded for years as possibly one of the worst movies in cinema history, but those who think so are wrong and I will prove them wrong...

For starters, I shall echo the notion that gaming isn't an addiction in the biochemical sense of the word. If you measured my activity when, after the nth attempt, I finally managed to kill FLamelurker, you'd think I had just tried every substance under the sun. Those measures, nonetheless...

"Where did you hide the bodies?" I mean, ugh... If I hid them I don't want them found. Silly police-person. Ahhh, stupid joke aside, most likely "Do you speak Spanish?". I'm not overly nationalistic by nature, but one should never ask that to a Portuguese.

No wonder Daddy Kahn prefers his daughter Mileena. Now SHE knows how to dress up for a party..err... Kombat tournament.

I'm somehow attracted to the whole theme of Hellraiser - with cenobites being twisted representations of sexual desires, but I don't think we shall ever see an interesting development. The whole painful/pleasuring experience is completely lost in a medium that practically abhors any mature...

It's true enough what you said, it's a staple of horror games the easy-to-kill jumpy monsters, together with the sense of dread of something larger than the barrel of a shotgun can handle. But, with Lovecraft in mind, the whole basis of his horror, was the fact that's utterly impossible to...

I have long been fascinated by the Cthulhu mythos, so I guess I'm going to have to disagree with Yahtzee's assessment of the lack of impact of Lovecrafts' work nowadays. Then, as much as now, there is an underlying idea of a True Benevolent God, a reflection of the perfection we should all...

This is one of the games where I wish it was reviewed on this site before the star rating system was added. I'm playing it on pc, hard mode, and besides the occasional texture pop-in, and a few furious first attempts at the hacking, I'm enjoying it immensely. If the person doesn't care too...

I'm not particularly fond of digital distribution, save for some really really cheap games, that'd be impossible to miss (STEAM sales come to mind), and for indie games (gotta love The Humble Indie Bundle - thanks Escapist for letting me know). BUT, I'd rather give all my money to any company...

After seeing this, my immediate thought lies on a possible prequel, but I am surely mistaken. You've just killed the Gods in this trilogy, how can they top that while he is still human? Even commanding an army lacks in comparison with destroying a Titan, right?

Ufff, reading 11 pages of hatred is not an easy task. I won't delve too deeply on why this will probably get the "cookie of the year award" for the stupidest decision ever. I just want to say, because I haven't seen a very active voicing of this problem: THE WORLD DOESN'T HAVE A FOOL-PROOF...

Thank you for your clarification. As I said I know very little regarding WoW, and, if by any means they had more than one shot at it, and saw the bug being presented continuously and said nothing until they had taken full advantage of it, than you (and all in the community) are in every right to...

Hnmmm, when I made that statement I wasn't referring to cases on the news, or in the web, I was thinking of people I knew. Someone who starts sleeping an average of 2 hours a night just so she could play more, and who develops a slight eating disorder (aka, only eating bread and nutella) isn't a...

I never really got into WoW (partially because I saw what it did to people), so I'll have to see if I got this straight. 25 people were fighting the uber-last boss, and somehow the battle had a clunky mechanism. Now, since they finished the battle, with the said clunky mechanism, and only then...

Notwithstanding the amazing awesomeness of this dedicated iPod owner, I have to say I find this kind of news always a bit disturbing. Maybe because I know fully well you don't need to own the phone to track it (the boyfriend of a friend of mine used to track her down every time - pretty creepy...
