I'm pretty much of a mind with the others here, with one more separation of Games I've done with go on a lower shelf. Eventually that pile goes into the storage with the rest of the archive. (a few hundred games and consoles going back nearly thirty years). What does break the organisation...

Wow. The thing that's always, always bothered me about the PW games is the burden of proof. A prosecutor only has to suggest a theory and every time, every chapter, every trial it's up to the poor attourney to find actual hard evidence to disprove that spurious theory. Now i'm not saying...

33. Been gaming since hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy text based adventure. I game because i can, it's fun and it's something for me. I'll play anything but the story is king for me, (unless it's a quiz game, i love sceneit) Fable can suck balls with it's generic kack, but i loved...

Yes, here = England. blighty = england for those who don't know. Cannon Fodder was a top-down game controlling a little squad of army grunts taking out the enemy. It was so simple and so wonderful and a great many people fell in love with it. Here's a link if you want to have a quick...

... Just as a thought, does anybody remember Cannon Fodder? It was big over here in good old blighty in the mid 90's, and according to Wiki it was available on 3DO, Acorn Archimedes, Amiga, Amiga CD32, Atari Jaguar, Atari ST, Game Boy Color, PC, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Super NES. did it...

wow, I mean no offence but a lot of you guys need to get more up to date, there are some fantastic board and card games out there now... Dominion, Carcassonne, Ra, Android, San Juan and my personal favourite ... Betrayal at the House on the Hill

Myst. Oh my god myst. I love adventures, but myst is just a bloody slideshow. (btw, i'm new, what does /thread mean?)

There was a SF : The Movie : THE GAME? Oh god i have to get that.

OK, forget (for a minute) the 360, the ps3 and the wii. I have a collection, but there is a shelf dedicated to the worst games ever made. It's dedicated to the games that were and are so unlovable they can only serve as a lesson to mankind. I'm looking for additions to that shelf that...

1. Monkey Island. Greatest story and writing. 2. Portal. Dark humour at it's best. 3. Goldeneye (N64). What a shooter should damn well be. 4. Sims. So pathetic a concept so well visualised into electronic crack addiction. 5. Shadow of the Collossus. Ico was beutiful, but SotC was truly art.

I met Ron Perlman in a field in Wales in the middle of the night many years ago. We were making a film. It rained.

Oh, just thought of another. San Andreas : £20 Hours Played, at least 250 (mainly driving motorbikes off the mountaintop) 8p an hour, max.

I call seconded on the Bujold. Her Vorkosigan stuff is the best SciFi is the best i've ever read.

OK, i claim the win on this one. Found on a trivial pursuit card (original edition): How many sandwiches did Lindburgh take on the Spirit of St Louis? 2 (and they were ham) And the best one ever? The name for a collector of useless information is a Spetmolger. Tell me those are not...

but WoW costs every month. so the costs can never get that low...
