Kay, here's the thing as far as I see it; All the ME games have had really strong character work- that's the biggest thing they've had going for them. I don't know or have heard of a single person who goes into a ME game for the "Thrilling Gameplay". ME1 had extremely strong overarching...

They have actually said they're working on a sequel, I believe. Yay!

Or a KOTOR3 from Obsidian, if they actually manage to finish the damn thing this time instead of leaving it 3/4th done like KOTOR2.

Bloody Hell Yes; Alan Wake's use of Space Oddity was completely and utterly perfect. That game just had brilliant use of licensed music regardless (It was, I've learned, only on the Special Edition soundtrack for some reason, but Barry Adamson's 'The Beaten Side of Town' was also brilliantly...

See Painkiller: Battle Out of Hell. About a fourth as long as the actual game. Of course, they could probably just make a whole sequel instead, but still...

F**ucking Assassin's Creed 1. The entire last level. In retrospect, knowing the series, yeah, pretty cool. Introducing a really weird mythos right in the middle of a historical epic on the other hand? No. And ending it on a close-up of the mysterious symbol-covered wall apparently painted in...

I can throw chairs around like a removal man who's entirely stopped giving a shit. Doors suddenly blowing open in the...

No clue, but if you're looking into Neil Gaiman, real/listen to (I've only listened to the book on tape, read incredibly by the great Lenny Henry,) Anansi Boys (weird title, but superb and tremendously funny story,) or Good Omens (One of the top two funnisest books I've ever read, and by I, I...

Yeah, Ciggarettes (Yes, I did spell that wrong) and drugs are completely harmless... Unless you count second-hand smoke. Or Drugged out folks going completely bonkers and, say, killing someone. Or going for a night on the town, taking a drug or so for recreational purposes (or...

Ha. I thought you just meant an unwarranted ammount of hype and a dissapointing final product. Still, with Bethdesa's (I know I'm spelling that wrong, but what the hell,) trademark NPC-Eyes-Always-Staring-Eerily-at-you-with-unerring-accurac, this may be less of an interesting addition and more...
