As obvious as it is I feel this needs to be said first: it really depends on what type of show you're looking for, as the halfway mark brings about a drastic shift. The first half is a tale of oppression, rebellion and a quest for fundamental social justice focusing on a heart-warming conclusion...

Forgive me if I've read this wrong, but I find it curious that you associate "liking music" with "being profoundly impacted by it". Personally, I've only ever found one or two tracks that were make-my-day awesome, but I listen to a lot of stuff just as background music to working out or...

I must admit, whilst there are many nit-picks I can (and certainly have) made about the game, that is the one element which I totally agree was pretty ground-breaking; its hardly a complex concept, but then complexity was never the point, and as you suggest it did give the game a rare...

I think I've just found my people... I actually quite enjoy BioShock 1, but you're right, it really isn't as deep as people say, particularly considering the framework and story are derivative as hell. Unfortunately, pointing that out in most places doesn't lead to a discussion, just people...

Really? Thanks a lot, I'll take as much advice as I can get! I've had some great advice regarding story structure and art direction so far, and one of the best things about drawing a proper manga is that it's easier to see where you're going wrong. I'm participating in a teaching programme in...

Don't worry, I know all of that, I've been told time and time again and, to be honest, I don't expect I can just rock up and succeed. Hell, I just finished my first manga and it really wasn't up to much. But, hey, we all need a dream, right? I'm interested in teaching English as a foreign...

Yeah, I'm a student, too. 20 years old, just coming to the end of my second year of my English degree (and at this very moment procrastinating over an essay on BioShock, of all things). In two years I've realised that I simply can't stand reading books, but I am a big fan of critical analyse, so...

I'm currently 20 years old, almost through with my second year of university as an English student. I have my career pretty much planned out; I'm currently learning Japanese and gathering experience in teaching in order to become a teacher of English as a foreign language in Japan. The reason...

Of course not, that's like a baker burning his hand on an oven and blaming people who buy bread...

True, but unfortunately it still didn't stop me from buying the bloody things. Obviously as a profitable franchise, letting it rest would've been a stupid decision, but KH2 served as a fantastic series conclusion. It was an awesome game which built on its static-console predecessor and didn't...

Through my time as a more serious gamer in the past, I got used to spending only £30 - that's around $49 for you American lads - on games, give or take a quid or two, so I find anything more to be overcharging. I am willing to pay around £38, but I'd be bitter about it. Recently Games have...

As an anime fan I'm sort of obliged to say over the top action, but in a realistic movie - upon consideration - I'm say realistic action. If I'm not paying a great deal of attention then the elves, in this case, can be as ninja as they like, but for a film to actually be gripping it is important...

Definitely release order, I'd say. I used to be into gaming a lot more than I am now, admittedly, but I think taking on a challenge like playing all Metal Gear games in one order or another is best done in release order, as once you've played MGS3, let's say, going back to the inferior gameplay...

This looks distinctly hit or miss. Dynasty Warriors type games have never managed to exit the 'basically alright' level of entertainment for me, but combining it with LoZ will either ruin the latter or turn out to be a shift in formula that'll add an amazing new edge to a beloved - though...

To be honest, I still use IE and it treats me fine; it's simple and gets the job done. I've tried using Chrome and I found that to be a mess and a hassle to use, and I have Firefox but never found any benefit to using it as opposed to IE. Maybe for computer nuts or people who are interested in...
