-The FNAF series is legitimately good, but is famous/popular for the wrong reasons -None of the Souls games are good (Bloodborne is great, though) -The last good Battlefield game was Battlefield 2 and the last good CoD was 2 -Blizzard hasn't made a good game since Warcraft 3 -The Warriors...

The year started strong, hit the usual mid-year slump, had a strong august, and then AAA began to shit itself around September and everything really began to fall apart in Q4. On the bright side, we're getting some decent remakes and rereleases, which is always nice.

Vampire: The Masquerade stands as the most frustrating for me. Not just the long unskippable cutscene at the beginning, but most of Santa Monica is feels more linear than the rest of the game. And, when you have a minimum of three completely different dialog trees for possible 'races'...

As much as cheating AIs in fighting games frustrate me to the point of attempting to break my controller in half, they are so depressingly prevalent that, in Mortal Kombat X, it felt weird and hollow when I realized that both Goro and Shinnok were playing fair. On Normal difficulty, at least, I...

When I was younger, I was a huge paranormal enthusiast and conspiracy theorist. Ghosts, aliens, cryptids, all sorts of crazy stuff. Then, I'm not sure when, I stopped believing. Ghosts are just the product of various environmental effects and the human mind, aliens probably exist but not on...

Hotline Miami 2: Less focus on guns and/or reduce enemy sightlines to match the player's.

Seeing as I do not plan to upgrade to a next-gen console any time soon, I likely won't be playing Syndicate, at least for a while. I have always wanted a Victorian London AC game, but after the (admittedly awesome) Rogue, I feel like the Assassin's Creed franchise has begun to stagnate...

Some people have already mentioned Hitman Absolution, but I feel I need to mention it. While, yes, it is a stealth game and it wants you to not go in guns blazing, the previous games still had that option, but docked you points at the end. Hitman Absolution, for some reason, decided to show you...

Nails. I can handle any injury as long as it doesn't pertain to the nails or cuticles.

Achievements can be good. In games like Jazzpunk, Consortium, and E.Y.E. The Divine Cybermancy, looking at the list shows you how much you have found instead of just completed and in Metal Gear Rising they provided a slight incentive to go and try to do a no-damage run of the final boss on very...

Suddenly losing half a class of work on an online quiz. Out of nowhere it deletes all of my work. Not fun. Game related, learning that, somewhere between me finishing Mass Effect 1 and the release of Mass Effect 2, I had somehow lost all of my ME1 saves. I had to go back and play through the...

A few things I picked up from my last GM: Rules Lawyers are not necessarily bad. If you have someone who has the system memorized or can find them in seconds, use them. I knew New World of Darkness better than my GM and it helped streamline the session by reducing the amount of time searching...

How is 'Nightmare On Elm Street' on this list and 'I Spit On Your Grave' isn't? No 'Last House On The Left'? Also, 'Hard Candy' isn't about revenge; Hayley's motivation is unclear and, though revenge is one of the possible implied reasons, the movie provides many other possible motives. This...

This is going to sound really odd, but Slender may be the best game to teach FPS controls. The only controls are move and look and there is no real punishment for messing up. The game moves at the same pace as the player and, though maze-like, the maps are relatively easy to learn.

I'd just ask him to play a few campaigns of Left 4 Dead 2 with me. Whoever is happiest about the experience wins. Having no friends finally pays off.
