    No Dubstep in gaming

    Dubstep is a phase that will last a couple of years (if that) and be done with. It's all the rage right now but I am sure that things will change and the genre will disappear bar a few stragglers trying to bring it back. Just look at the evolution of electronic music and every subgenre that has...

    Poll: Who really wants a new console?

    I feel like this generation has at least another 2 years of life left in it before we need to move on. The main issue for me is that new consoles are expensive so I like to feel that I'm getting the most use for my money.

    Old games you are still playing?

    I still frequently play my old N64 games, namely Banjo Kazooie & Tooie. I'm making my way through Silent Hill 2 and various other Ps2 games. Also I've recently acquired a copy of The Secret of Monkey Island so that's what I'm playing at the moment. Oh, and I still have soft spot in my heart...

    Bioshock or Battlefield 3?

    I'd recommend Bioshock, personally, but it really depends on what type of game you're after. If you want a game with a unique setting and a good story that is told well then definitely go for Bioshock. If you want to just blow stuff/people up in a dusty warzone then go for Battlefield.

    So I just finished Silent Hill 2...

    I picked it up a couple of months back but haven't had the time/nerve to play much of it but from what I've experienced it's incredible. The sheer atmosphere throughout the game just has you on edge all the time. It's the best game at building tension and immersion that I've ever played. It has...

    Game endings that just ruined almost the entire game for you.

    I'd have to go with Far Cry 2 which basically just said: "Hey! You know all that stuff you just did? Well you may as well not have bothered." Also, God of War II which stamped a big "TO BE CONTINUED IF YOU BUY GOD OF WAR III" sign all over the ending which just left me with a bad taste...

    Poll: Would you buy robotic limbs from Apple?

    I would but it would probably cost me an arm and a leg. Ahem, awful jokes aside, I probably would. I trust Apple as a company and if price was no issue, I'd definitely go for them. I quite like my normal fleshy limbs, though.

    Best Sequel to a Terrible game

    I detested Far Cry but found that Far Cry 2 has been one of my most enjoyable and immersive gaming experiences ever.

    Poll: Do Your Parents Play Video Games?

    My mum will occasionally play on the Wii but that's a very rare occurrence. My dad bought me an N64 back in 1997 and completed Zelda: OoT before I did. He also played through Goldeneye, Mario 64 and other big N64 games. Zelda remains his favourite game of all time, however.

    Have you ever fallen in love with a game?

    The whole in the disc is, sadly, too big for my inferior penis. OT: I've fallen in love with many games. The first time I completed Zelda: OoT I had a pretty strong emotional reaction.

    Favorite metal song?

    I quite like Walk With Me In Hell by Lamb of God at the moment but I couldn't possibly have a favourite metal song of all time. It changes often. A live version but that doesn't matter because they're so badass live :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGT0I9YBLnM&feature=related

    Things you automatically associate with eachother thanks to gaming

    Whenever I'm on shrooms I think I'm a plumber and try to jump on turtles. Seriously, though, whenever I put on my glasses I expect people to call me "Dr. Freeman." I don't even look remotely like him...

    Poll: How much gore do you prefer?

    I like the amount of gore to be suited to the kind of game I'm playing. I like sawing locust into bits in GoW but I also enjoy having no gore at all in Zelda games. I appreciate when gore is overdone for comic effect, when it is realistic or when there's none at all. I don't like gore that...

    Poll: Does anyone on the Escapist Magazine read fanfics?

    I read them from time to time but it's tedious when sifting through the shit to find the gold. I suppose when you find a truly decent fanfic it makes it worthwhile. I actually wrote some Zelda fanfiction when I was about ten years old. I found it and read it again recently. It was definitely...

    Most Depressing song?

    This wins by far for me. Perhaps that's just because I'm a Radiohead fanboy, though.
