Just started Killzone and have to say that in terms of single player at least, this dumbing down really is beginning to suck my enjoyment out of games. There's none of the exploration, fear and excitement of Doom, none of the endlessly replayable fun of Goldeneye or Timesplitters, none of the...

Alongside InFamous, I cite Borderlands as the poster boy for everything that has went wrong with videogame design since 2006. One man's shit is another man's chocolate I guess.

You missed out Paperhouse, which has the best visual interpretation I've ever seen of a dream. Eerie, claustrophobic and agrophobic at the same time, before turning into a horrifying nightmare later on. It used to be regular 2am Channel 4 fodder in the 90s when the channel still showed...

I'm not normally obsessive enough for shit like this, but when I saw the demo for this I mapped out in my mind how it wanted to end. It only works if there ends up being some link in it to the first two games, which I'm not sure there will be. In my idea there's a controllable epilogue. It...

A game about sex, fair enough, but a game where the objective is to have sex with someone else's girlfriend / wife while they watch (and vice versa) is a different matter. I never knew swinging was so mainstream!

Pretty much neck and neck in worldwide sales (probably ahead in real sales due to the early 360 failure rate), despite PS3 being over a year late, having no games for it's first year and costing not far off double. Looks like the brand value they built up during the late 90s / early 00s still...

DIE MONSTER, YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD!

"If there was anything still recognizably human about them, if they had intact vocal chords that scream or beg for death like an actual person in pain" Can't believe they still overlook stuff like this for horror games. Fictional monsters are far less scary than twisted, contorted and...

That's more or less the exact same path I took. Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Fester's Quest and Zelda II may not be considered classics, but as my introduction to a two-decades old hobby they were to me. As time progressed through the 16 and 32bit eras, it's amazing how much I fell for the...
