I agree. The lack of fighting games is strange (Devil May Cry doesn't count). GTA likewise. I realise that these things are subjective, but where is Goldeneye? Or Perfect Dark? I also think that Valve has been hard done by. No Half Life? No Portal? Wow.

And you could do a double whammy and lose your personal data when buying the game from Play and playing it on the PS3: http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2011/05/03/246559/Sony-data-breach-100m-reasons-to-beef-up-security.htm Just kidding ;) Sounds like a good deal.

I echo that sentiment

Doom. Definitely Doom. And I couldn't stop playing the port of Xenon as well, when that first came out (don't know if that counts).

I absolutely demand a Bitmap Brothers game to be on this list :) Any of the following would make me happy: Xenon, Xenon 2, Speedball 2 or Gods (on another note, I think Goldeneye deserves an honourable mention, but I understand that it can't supplant Doom). Merci buckets!

That's basically it right there. Both sides are cranking out the games, but what it really boils down to is the DLC. Rock Band is streaks ahead of GH on that front. And that's the only reason why I have abandoned GH for RB.

Hmm... a devilishly sarcastic wit?

Putting aside Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey, much of Wild West's most memorable mythology seems to have been generated by Hollywood. Speaking as a Brit, while we don't have ranches and cowboys over here, I have seen enough Westerns for this game to strike a chord with me. Will definitely pick it up.

Tell this to your run of the mill psychopath.

Lambda eh? Could that be L for Leonidas? Or L for Lethe?

Yawn!!! Why remake a classic one? If you have to remake, why not take an average FF, extract the elements that were good, discard the bad ones, and then use original thinking to improve the game. Or you could just make a brand new game (I'm aware that this has just been done with FF13 having...

I think cover based shooting is excellent. It adds an great new aspect to co-op play (covering your partner, from cover, as he runs, well, to cover). However, it has brought along a whole swathe of problems along with it: you're sneaking up to kill a bunch of people, you're about to get in...

Guitar Hero Metallica and Rock Band the Beatles are my two favourite games in this genre. I think the way that the notes are mapped out in GH games makes you feel more like you're playing the song; RB seems to put more emphasis on "chord" playing. On the flip side, the actual gameplay and...

I don't have a problem with hard drive installs at all. I'd rather install to hard drive then punish the disk platter. I finish the game, I delete the data, bam simple as that.
