    What is your favorite game of all time and why?

    Gotta say Metroid Prime 1 (or MP Trilogy since they're all on one disk now). Loved the atmosphere, lack of spoken dialogue, and great boss fights. Glad to see the very talented Retro studios picking up the slack from Rare's golden days of Donkey Kong Country.

    Have you ever bought a game for a hot girl in the game?

    Has a tantalizing trailer or steamy box art ever convinced you to buy a game you were unsure about? I try to judge games based on gameplay, but the Poison Ivy trailer from Batman: Arkham Asylum and Gloria's trailer from Devil May Cry 4 both worked on me.

    Favourite Gamecube Game?

    Metroid Prime 1+2 and Eternal Darkness... plus Resident Evil 4. It was the first platform to have RE4, even though I bought it on PS2 and Wii also... I remember when the Metroid 2D fanboys cried foul when Prime was announced, and refused to play it, even to this day. Then Other M came out to...

    Worst game you bought at $60?

    Brutal Legend on day 1. Apparently Tim Schafer can do a wrong. I loved the demo, but right after the demo it switches genres to a shitty RTS. I beat the game in one sitting but tried to do some of the terrible sidequests just to get my money's worth.

    Poll: Could Video Games Take over storytelling?

    Impossible. Video games have a long way to go before they're as compelling in storytelling as film or books. Games are the only medium in which you can CHANGE the story, but telling a story through long-winded cinematics (like MGS4) or watching two people have a conversation without blinking...

    Good Trilogies?

    Back to the Future Trilogy is awesome, and in the Metroid Prime Trilogy every game is better than the last. Something I've noticed with a lot of PS2 gen trilogies is that the 1st game's groundbreaking or great, the 2nd tries to go in a different direction but then fails as a sequel, but the...

    Do you consider yourself a fanboy/girl of anything?

    I used to be a big Nintendo fanboy during the gamecube era, then I felt betrayed a couple years ago because Nintendo likes to ignore its biggest fans. Now I'm a Megaten nut, specifically Nocturne.

    Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne | the cure for bad JRPG syndrome.

    I'd played FF5,6, 7, 8, 9, and the first 1/4 of FF10, and I what I didn't like about 10 is that with instant character changouts there was no preparation or strategy to fights. I haven't played FFXIII because all reviews say it's a linear mainstreamed interactive movie, and I've come to enjoy...

    Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne | the cure for bad JRPG syndrome.

    Nocturne is my all-time favorite RPG! The Shin Megami Tensei series reinvigorated the genre for me when I thought that FFX had put it's knife through any semblence of difficulty or actual gameplay. Nocturne is strange, dark, and engaging. The best hidden gem ever.

    How old is your all-time favorite game?

    Metroid Prime, 2002 I believe. But it's even better with Wii motion controls in Metroid Prime Trilogy, which came out in 2009.

    Favourite body part that's not breasts, abs, ass or genitalia.

    I like the lips, but only when the stop talking and get to work.

    California Gay Marriage Ban Lifted

    I'm surprised it took California to take so long. We've had a gay marriage in Iowa for over a year now.

    Rumor: Activision Doesn't Think Female Leads Can Sell Games

    Let's not forget Bayonetta, which had better action than Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, and God of War. That was a great game with a female lead, who was very tongue-in-cheek about her sexuality.

    Worst Stereotype Character

    The crazy japanese protagonist with huge hair that lost their memory. Bayonetta is the ultimate example.

    What game are you playing right now?

    Currently bouncing between beating Bayonetta again and Burnout Paradise.
