    Mafia II is Not a Game

    First of all, I haven't played the game yet, but I wanted to put my two cents in. Rock, Paper, Shotgun's John Walker reviewed the game and was somewhat critical of the game in general and the story in particular. The bloke is big on storytelling, a reputed reviewer and a huge Mafia fan. It's not...

    What is it with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

    Why I think difference boils down to it (meaning STALKER series) being a lot more understated than the games you mention, with the arguable exception of Far Cry 2. You really need to take your time and let the gameworld permeate. Also, the original STALKER is a buggy mess, but aparently you can...

    The acting was quite good indeed.

    Stolen Pixels #41: Pick a Perk

    Ron Perlman's is spot on. I'd love to see that implemented.

    The downfall of Ctrl+Alt+Del...

    The word you're looking for is Telenovela. Anyhow, I think you're actually mistaken about all this downfall stuff or have you forgotten the abortion story arch? Even Yathzee made fun of that one.

    Your favourite music in videogames?

    Actually Morrowind, Icewind Dale and The original Zelda score came to mind quite quickly. Although I wouldn't dare to say they're great tunes they've somehow made themselves at home and come back from time to time just to deprive me of some bloody sleeping hours.

    Zero Punctuation: Eve Online

    I've been laughing me tits off for ten fucking minutes. Not, that I agree, mind you, but its simply too bloody funny to let it slip by.

    Poll: American English or English English?

    I guess I tend to use American English when caught out off guard although - and since I'm Spanish - I try to use British English as much as I possibly can.

    Poll: EVE Online

    I totally dig that ship customization idea. Man, wouldn't it be nice.

    Excite or Placate - Will these be the Fallout 3 videos that make you a true believer?

    I definitely dig the super fist of destruction or whatever. It looks pretty nice, like.

    Songs with beefy bass lines

    I'd say you try with Jamiroquiai, there's a bloody lot of sexy bass lines there. Anyway, if you're into truly awesome bass lines you should give Return to Forever a try -Romantic Warrior'll do the trick-, not really beefy but astounding nonetheless. And see if you can get something by Chic Corea...

    Rare Games

    I don't really get all this collecting business. For me, the only thing that is actually worth anything is the game itself.

    The Best Game Endings ever

    Bioshock definitely. It was truthfully moving.
