For an actual store, try a local Best Buy. I got a remastered copy of the album from there and they usually have quite a few good albums in stock. If you want the guaranteed approach, check out the Amazon link a few posts above. That should insure you get a copy of the album rather than driving...

Personally, it's the either Halo Wars for Yahtzee's freakout over the timed mission or the Dead to Rights: Retribution review for all the intentionally cheesy action-movie style lines he throws regarding the game. If I had to pick one, it would probably be the Halo Wars one because the ending is...

Mostly classic rock from the 1960s and the 1970s (The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, The Band, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, The Clash) with some prog (Rush) and blues-jazz-rock (Steely Dan). I'm also a fan of some more recent musical endeavors by Gorillaz and the Black Keys.

Yes, bought it day one and I don't regret it. Also, it helps if you aren't familiar with anything in the game before playing it because, just as in the first, the experience and humor should be your own without any prior exposure. It's nowhere near the out-of-left-field surprise that the...

Grew up playing the Sly Cooper games on a recommendation from a friend. That friend also wisely made me aware of the Jak and Daxter series, another greatly underrated series. Interestingly enough, the developers of both series are finding new successes with the inFamous and Uncharted series on...

Depends on who you're revealing it to. I learned that spoiling something for a friend who is unfamiliar with it is never right. If they're curious just tell them to experience it for themselves and they can be the judge. Online and anonymously, I tend to warn others of spoilers by using tags...

Depends if the person in question had a meaningful impact on things that make me who I am. Two examples from recent memory: I was never a major fan of Michael Jackson or his music, so his death passed me by despite the media coverage. However, growing up listening to Bruce Springsteen's music...

The game opens and Shepard commits suicide. Unavoidable despite how you played him. Once the title screen comes up and the opening cutscene is over your protagonist for the rest of the game is not anyone on your regular crew from the last two games... it's an elcor. Imagine the dialogue...

I'd say give them a month to live on the Earth and have them explore all we have to offer. Given how much we provide for ourselves, after a month, it's likely that the aliens will become attached to one particular thing we create and not want to sacrifice destroying it. Thus, in a sort of...

Let me see... I was one of the bold few who got Brutal Legend on Day One, but I am still only about two-thirds through the story at this point. I've only sat down to play it twice, and every time I do, I get distracted and end up playing something else instead after a certain amount of time...

Some good tense ones are Halloween and Alien. For something more unnerving, try looking into the 1986 version of The Fly or some David Lynch films (not necessarily horror, but they can get under your skin), like Eraserhead.

I was extremely excited about Mass Effect 3 and the E3 footage did nothing to sway my opinion in the slightest. My hype on that remains the same, so I'm going to go with Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Now, I wasn't heaping the praises onto Oblivion like many others and in fact found it to be...

There are three achievements in Fight Night Round 4 for reaching the highest rank on the leaderboard for the specific weight class of your fighter. So, technically, the game expects you to beat one of the three current best players of the game to get this achievement. Good luck, achievement...

Armin Shimerman in Bioshock as Andrew Ryan. The game totally sold me and left me fully engrossed the second his first monologue in the elevator down came on. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001734/

In struggle to complete: There's a section in Jak 2 where you have to break into the police force's base to rescue your allies. Long story short, it took me a day to complete, only for me to realize how much simpler it is on reflection. In terms of enjoyment: The Sander Cohen section of...
