Bought TIE Fighter some time ago and I'm having an absolute blast. Try to look past the graphics, these games definitely deserve it. Besides, you quickly get used to them. OT: Vastly prefer GOG, because if I buy something there I actually own it, instead of having it rented to me, as it is...

Oh yes, yes I would. Watching people get mauled by wild beasts or fight each other to death sounds like my kind of fun. But I do have a bit of a sadistic streak so I don't expect people to understand or approve of this.

Xbone exclusive huh? Shame, I rather liked the last one. Oh and from what I saw around the internet it's supposed to be released this year, not the next... might want to fix that.

If you're using a ten point score then by the magic of rounding up you could find a few tens on this list. I however see some 94/100s and 96/100s here, but a full 100%? No, so far a perfect game has not been made. One day it might be, but the chances of that happening are, shall we say...

Oh I remember drooling all over those - all that potential. I'm hoping someone in Ubisoft finally takes the hint, but yeah, it will probably take some time (and a few more AC games)

Nah, I'm quite sick of the last 500 years, so the era this is set in is not appealing to me. Give me something from the ancient Rome, Egypt, Mesopotamia, or something like that and I'll happily buy it.

I'd recommend trying Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Source engine-powered, first person fantasy hack and slash thing. Swords, bows, magic, brutal fatalities, even stealthy carnage if you want, and it's one of the best iterations of first person melee combat I've encountered. Fun way to spend a...

Sincerely? No. I immerse myself in my characters and if I'm repulsed by the character (for whatever reason, not just aesthetic), I can't do it. And that, obviously, ruins the game for me. So when given a choice, I always pick/create a character I find attractive. Or a monster. I'd much...

There was this chocolate egg I'd bought that was really not worth the... oh you mean games? That has got to be Skyrim, considering the amount of (community made = free) mods it requires to be at least somewhat enjoyable. I mean at half the retail price sure, but full price? It is probably the...

Nothing's ever free. Whenever a product is offered "free" there's always a catch, or some hidden obligation which is bound to bite you in the ass when you least expect it. This whole thing reeks of treachery...

Mass Effect 2. The first ME was amazing, despite its shortcomings it's one of my all time favorite games. So I naturally pre-ordered ME2 as soon as possible, because Bioware was one of the very few companies I trusted at the time enough to do something so foolish. In a way, I'm grateful for the...

Heheh, pretty much this. The TR reboot wasn't a bad game, but I'm not a fan of what they've done with Lara's personality.

Kreia, from SW: Knights of the Old Republic 2. One of the finest examples of a well written, complex character (and a refreshing change from the usual black/white approach to Star Wars characters).

When I was a child my grandmother was very adamant about me not walking over manhole covers (while babbling about it bringing bad luck or something) and half the people I know keeps knocking on things (wood?), but none of this stuck with me. I've always strived to maintain a logical and rational...

Torture him. In a situation where you are choosing between one primitive's suffering and letting many innocent people die there can be only one answer.
