While I agree with the sentiment of the review, what strikes me as odd is that this isn't the first time I've been unsettled by GTA protagonists. Nico Bellic's was a step in a 'gritty' direction that made frivolous killing feel very uncomfortable. Equally several points in CJ's scripted...

You know you've played too much Lucasarts when your thought process for opening a can goes like this: Look at -> Can "Looks like a can of beans." Open -> Can "Nope." Use -> Can -> Use Can with -> Rhinoceros lips "I don't think that will work." Give -> Can -> Give Can to -> Cat "I don't...

I genuinely hear that little plinky sound from Metal Gear Solid that indicates you are losing blood - all the time. It's made me quite the hypochondriac. Other than that, I know I've been playing a game too much when I consider starting another 360 account just so I can have the joy of...

I suggest we accept that the game engine WILL be horribly unstable and remain excited regardless.

Well. I just came. Glad to see Bethesda are still making the same generic game over and over again. That same ridiculously-good-looking game. I genuinely dont think I'm even going to mind when it arrives with maybe 15 distinct NPCs with only 4 voices between them. OK, I'll mind a bit, but...

Guybrush Threepwood. He'd have the perfect retort to everything thrown at him in the debates. Plus Use -> rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle -> with -> war on terror makes as much sense as any other policy on the matter.

Not sure I can count Fable III as I knew, deep down, I was going to be disappointed before purchase. In a way you could say I knowingly purchased disappointment. So for my biggest disappointment of last year, I'm going to go for... life. Screw 2010. (Alternatively, Fallout: New Vegas)...

Depends what makes it 'one way'. If it's one way because I'm going to go live on a colony up there, hell yes I'd love to. As long as the living was comfortable, it'd be amazing to think that there's a whole world to go explore that no one else has touched. However, if its 'one way' because...

I personally go through three stages: 1) Rage 2) That horrible cold feeling when you realise that the world has become so temporary and insubstantial that you just sank 100 hours into a toy, 100 hours that were already a waste of time even before all evidence of that 100 hours had been...

Interesting find, but I'm still annoyed (as I have been since the leaked copyright revealed 'Skyrim') that we aren't off to Summerset Isle. It seemed like half of Cyrodiil was obsessed with the unrest on Summerset Isle, and not only did the DLC not take us there, but the sequel doesn't seem...

*picks up phone* "Yeah, Mom? We just finished. Pretty bad, frankly. We started off by..." I don't imagine you'd get much further.

A lot of people are saying Zombies are a fad, but fads don't generally last almost 20 years... Fact is, a lot of games are about shooting things. If you want to make shooting tense, you make those things monstrous and unstoppable. So, you put a story to monstrous things running around, and a...

Interesting point. Seems a lot of people would class that as 'evil', which throws up a whole different debate...

Recent influx of morality games has made me discover something uncomfortable about myself that I can no longer deny: I am a good person. Given a choice, I will almost always pick the good option. OK so I might be cheeky in Fable or lose my temper once or twice in Mass Effect, but with some...

Looking forward to the day Valve's, and indeed the industry's, announcements aren't for something with a 2 on the end. I've never heard of this DotA, anyway. Should I be excited? I can be excited, if you want.
