Agreed with this one. I have many tendencies that means I can't label myself as one definition (no, sorry to some of the fruitier guys out there. Homosexual tendency is not one that's on my list. :| ). Have been a 'hardcore' gamer, and now a 'casual' gamer with hardcore tendencies. I chose...

I've not read all the suggestions, so excuse me and credits to those who have already posted the same ideas as me... but here goes. First of all, using a next gen engine is all good and the visual effects are important, but scaleability is the key. Scaleability means that anyone and their dog...

hype is the root of all evil. black and white and fable for instance. notice i'm picking on molyneux. it depends on you personally. if you let yourself get wrapped up in the hype of a release then yes, you will find it largely overrated if it doesn't deliver (which games rarely do so to their...

white enough to own all three. i can't stop chuckling at that comment. so beautifully racist. warms the heart.

Must I? Okay... your name is somewhat ironic. Incandescence. Then you close with the above quoted.. uhh.. quote which means you wish for people to flame you. Well thought out! Unless, of course, you had no idea what incandescence meant in the first place and this irony was just coincidental...

No, Microsoft ruined it actually. You're right. If only Bungie had been given the artistic freedom to make the game as they pleased and not how Microsoft envisioned it. Gears of War wasn't really ruined. There wasn't much to ruin. :p

Larenxis: I wasn't bringing up the topic of 300 to start a discussion. I know what it lacked (for me at least). It was merely to point out the fact that opinions vary and anyone that thinks otherwise is a rather oversized moron that should have been put down some time ago. Seriously, this...

Everyone has different tastes, and so opinions (yes, that's what they are) will vary. I'm going to be controversial and mention the fact that I thought 300 was crap, but I know there are those who think it's the best film ever made (just like The Matrix series, complete utter trollop imo). The...

Most games that come with its own side order of freshly baked bread and over-hype. Halo is by far the number one offender, but every game has its fanboys and all fanboys can burn in flames... please.

In general, no. Females do not play games as much as males. Don't ask me why, I have no clue. There are some who do and some who don't. Perhaps, relating to one particular friend of mine, they think it is 'childish' or something. Social standings, I would imagine. Also, it would depend on the...

Call of Duty: Hello Kitty Uprising.

While Assassin's Creed tried something new, it tried it in a fairly linear way. I can't help but feel I was being pushed down the story more than a little abruptly, which is not something I enjoy in a game that was (at the time of the first screens and videos) promising freedom. Perhaps they...

Well, since that makes you my new boss, take a good look at Manderley's dead body. Consider that my resignation. I don't have time to write a letter. -JC Denton, Deus Ex

Front Mission, SNES. You want classics, you have to play it old school. Also Bomberman. OH! And the UFO/X-Com series. (minus the 3rd person perspective pile of tripe shooter)

Late reply, but who cares eh? While what most of you say is true, I will pick you up on the AI part. Yes, the AI in Assassin's Creed is somewhat shocking considering they were doing a bit of hype on this. But then in saying that there are few games where AI is perfect. This is mostly due to...
