Let's ignore old games for the time being, and just look at all the awesome games that have little story, if any at all. Audiosurf. Cogs. Greed Corp (it has a setting, nothing more). Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (sure, it has a story, but who gives a damn?). Almost any FPS. Wolverine: Origins...

I normally turn it off on PC so it doesn't mess up 'placed' shots (headshots for instance), or cause me to aim directly at someone instead of around/behind them by mistake, but on consoles I think of it as a bit of a necessary evil, to be honest. There's nothing wrong with developers being...

Yes. Yes they are.

Try it. Actually try a death metal growl. It's really hard. Anyone can roughly approximate the noise, but notice how your throat starts hurting and you have to stop after bare seconds? Yeah.

Put red pesto in scrambled egg (when you beat the eggs). Add shredded-up ham and :O. It's awesome.

I apologise and walk on.

I'm not normally the type of person who lusts particularly after video game characters. I don't generally, for example, choose my characters after their appearance. Until... She is a drawing. Yet she is also immensely sexy. Whaddya know. (It should also be noted that BlazBlue move...

Great review. Great game, too. I played the campaign courtesy of a friend; am planning on buying it some time soon in order to jump into the multiplayer.

...hang on... ...that's just a laptop without a screen. Huh.

For that money, definitely... although my opinion probably doesn't count, as I've never owned a console and all my games are no-CD patched for convenience and backed up on an external hard drive, so I don't really need the discs anyway... :P

I'm definitely with the cheap PC games crowd here. I've never spent more than £15 on a game (exception: Battleforge, £19, but that's microtransaction stuff). Only two games have ever cost me £15, or indeed, more than a tenner. How? Steam, preowned stuff, yadda yadda. You also get more...

I left before the end of Public Enemies. Kept thinking it was going to end, and it didn't. It wasn't very interesting, kept repeating itself and I wanted to go and get a Subway, so I walked out. That movie is ridiculously long and, it has to be said, pretty uninteresting. My family and I...

QFT. Russ, as a drummer and an Oxford student I feel somewhat insulted by your article. We aren't all alcoholic no-hopers with zero prospects in life other than sitting morosely at the back of a stage watching while the rest of the band gets laid. I'm not proficient enough at other...

I've written two tabletop games so far (plus a third with a friend) and have in-depth plans for the fourth. None of them are complete - #1 has never really found a form I'm happy with, #2 needs more army lists, #3 needs army lists at all - but hey. For an almost entirely one-man job that's not...

Any Unreal Tournament works well for me. Audiosurf. Painkiller I suppose, when I'm on a single-player run of it and haven't finished yet. Quake 4 with the RLWeapons mod (makes everything do more damage, so you just run around cathartically and easily headshotting Strogg with the assault...
