    A Beginner's Guide to Dark Souls - 7 Steps to Sucking Less

    On the cliff where the fog gate is right before Manus you can point your camera downwards and you'll see his red glowing eyes down below. That's where he can be sniped, even though it'll take forever.

    A Beginner's Guide to Dark Souls - 7 Steps to Sucking Less

    I'm all for creative thinking, however I'm not a fan of the game making you waste your time if you choose to snipe Manus from above. If you would prefer a ranged battle, I'd still prefer it to require skill instead of just taking a million years. Actually another creative boss kill that I like a...

    A Beginner's Guide to Dark Souls - 7 Steps to Sucking Less

    Dark Souls can definitely be cheesed and just because it's Dark Souls doesn't make it a good excuse. It sounds like a "the game isn't playing fair, so I'm not going to either" -mentality. There are numerous enemies and even bosses (like Manus) who can just be sniped with arrows if you just stand...

    Yahtzee, if you need one NPC relationship that actually matters, here's one: Anju and Kafei. That is all.

    Have you ever replayed a 'bad' game later on and changed your mind?

    When I first played through Half-life 2 I thought it was pretty good, but the ending left such a bad taste in my mouth (the rooftop strider battle was an exercise in frustration, the level design in the citadel was very unclear and at many points made no sense story-wise and the final boss was...

    Trailers: Batman: Arkham City: Gameplay

    I don't really get that kind of reasoning. Why should bad writing and dialog be an inseparable part of comic books? Most comics in Europe (Asterix, Tintin, Spirou...) have excellent writing and dialog, the over-the-top macho bullcrap is pretty much exclusive to American superhero comics...

    The Bad Parts of your Favourite Game(s)

    I thought the middle part of Portal 2 was easily the weakest part of the game, mostly because the it dragged on for way too long and the gameplay was much more tedious than at other parts of the game. Sure Cave Johnson was an alright character, if a little unclear personality, but the backstory...

    Games you just couldn't play/finish...

    Like some others here, Bioshock. I know it's supposed to be one of the best and most important games ever, but after the big reveal I gave up. I liked the setting and premise a lot and parts like Sander Cohen were great, but overall the gameplay was very stressful and I just wasn't enjoying it...

    Your most cherished achievements!

    Metroid Fusion 1% run is this for me. I the swear part where you have to restore the power again, starting from your ship and ending at the spider boss (Yakuza) which gives you the space jump is one of the most frustrating things I've ever done. Just getting to the boss is a nightmare itself...

    I think I found the most pretentious video game review site ever.

    Exactly, I thought the "I could not draw my gun, I could not use the phone, I could not even speak. I could only run." part sounded so corny that this could not be serious in any shape or form. Sure as a review it's not very good but it does make a point about something most reviewers would...

    Portal 2 Model Maker Creates Talking Combustible Lemons

    I didn't think the joke made a very good meme, but this is just plain awesome!

    Games you never finished.

    Demon's Souls, but NOT because of the difficulty. I actually liked how you had to be very careful and patient to be able to progress, but what I didn't like was the incredible amount of stuff you could never know beforehand (how the hell was I supposed to know that I shouldn't have attacked an...

    Doc Brown Explains Zelda Chronology Using Time-Travelling DeLorean

    Gotta love how that scrambled mess wasn't even the whole timeline...and it's still pretty much incomprehensible.
