    What do you want for the Holidays that ISN'T a game?

    #1: The Eclipse Phase non-corebooks. (Panopticon, Gatecrashing, and Sunward) After that, a tossup between a new mouse and either Saints Row 3 or Skyrim.

    Instant Gratification

    F*** "The Final Countdown". I'm sorry. Let me back up. This part has SPOILERS. I watched that movie a couple years back. I remember getting drawn in by the plot, even if it was a little overdone and the characters rather schlocky. The main dilemma was genuinely intriguing. When it was...

    Most anticipated Unannounced game

    Persona 5. I ate up 3 and 4, and I really really want them to either make 5 or properly port 1/2 to the PS3.

    Question of the Day, September 25, 2010

    Persona 3 was better (Seriously, "Burn My Dread" and the final boss's music are among my favorite songs of all time), but Persona 4 had some great music as well.

    Shamus Plays: LOTRO, The Finale!

    Poor Lulzy. Had to fall for the one she couldn't have. And spat in the face of pretty much everyone else... Can't wait to read your next series!

    Mass Effect 2 - Tali Zorah vas Normandy - What does she look like?

    People did that. Upon doing that, they found out that the game "spawns" an extra mask in shepard's hand, and tali's face remains covered. Bioware has thwarted us yet again!

    Stolen Pixels #160: Rorschach Interview, Part 2

    Personally, I ended up liking Rorschach because of It kind of made up for how he was a complete dick to everyone.

    Games that you're ashamed to admit they scare you

    I'd say psychonauts too, but for one specific moment. You're in the mind of one of the teachers learning how to levitate, and everything is a big party. Lots of flashing lights, no real enemies. But, if you look around in one part, you'll notice a balcony with a door only covered by a figment...

    Games that made you Cry

    I totally agree with Shadow Hearts: Covenant, and I didn't even play the one prior to that! Also, I felt really sad for Karin because Definitely at the end of HL2:EP2; Valve, that was a cheap-as-hell-shot. Please release episode 3 already. Let's see. I cried in Persona 3 when...

    Good RPGs? (that aren't JRPGs)

    I actually really enjoyed Wild Arms 3 too, and I think Persona 3/4 are some of the best JRPGs (or even just regular RPGs) ever made. But, since you want non-JRPGs... Elder Scrolls (Morrowind is better than Oblivion except in polish and tech) BG 1/2 Fallout 3 THE WITCHER! -- Seriously...

    Games that deliver more than you expected.

    Two things. First, like IdealistCommi, I picked up Persona 3 thinking it would be a decent time waster and ended up loving it, it still remains my favorite story in a video game. The other is a mod for halflife 2 called Dystopia. I was pretty new to mods at that point, and just downloaded...

    215: Cease Fire: A Look at Virtual Jihadi

    I think the problem here lies in what the audience perceives, as opposed to what the game creator is actually trying to say. If every single player knew (say via an introduction cutscene) exactly what Bilal was trying to accomplish and why, there wouldn't be a problem. No one would think that...

    Review: The Sims 3

    Post the Persona 4 family! PS: Solid review, which is really tempting me to go out and buy it.

    Unskippable: Alone in the Dark

    "...or your suffering will be legendary." "And the legend will consist mostly of you going 'Aah! Oh no! Ow ow ow!'" Awesome episode.

    202: Looking for Group Therapy

    Oh the things our characters would say if they could talk. All we can hope is that ours won't have too much to complain about... Awesome story though, poor HaxxorBoi.
