I see what you mean about the best writing in stealh games sometimes being heard by listening in on idiotic guards. Like in Arkham Asylum, I remember thinking up to one point "man this is a good game, it's just a shame teh dialogue is a little lifeless, especially when Batman's around". That...

I had a spell in Oblivion that, coupled with my maxed out Willpower, Illusion rank and high magic capacity meant I could cast in enough succession to benefit from successively. I spent a lot of the game invisible from there on, not even just on missions - running around and screwing around with...

Ah, Pokemon. I'll say it now, it's pretty much indefendable, much like the Metal Gear series, and really shouldn't be this popular if there was any justice in teh world. Yet I like it. I played every game up to Diamond and then it fizzled out. Perhaps not being able to make scratch enough to...

I'll admit Metal Gear is one of those indefencable series. I actually had the misfortune of having Metal Gear Solid 2 being the first installment I played - already batshit as a sequel, as a story it baffled my ten-year-old mind beyond belief. I mean, what can you say about a series that has...
