I think it ultimately amounts to whether you view games as entertainment, or as a form of artistic expression. Although a LOT of games that are not fun are poor, there are notable exceptions. Case in point, Silent Hill 2, the game is largely uneventful, and consists largely of walking...

I'm chalking this one up as a Microsoft answer; Correct in a literal sense but useless in terms of the matter at hand

Bioshock was another game like Condemned for me, it started off pretty damn brilliant but its climax was unsatisfying(which unsurprisingly is said a lot about me). I actually liked Andrew Ryan and loved how the story forced me to kill him in contrast to my actual tendencies thus illustrating the...

Yeah, I have many fond memories of being scared witless in subway tunnels by raiders. Although I never played Silent Hill 2, from what I played of Origins, I could really see the atmosphere of the series. The game blew chunks but the little nibblies of potential and the series' greatness...

I know there is a lot of hoity-toity talk about Story and Characters in games but this thread is more about the subject of immersion and what game you felt drew you in the best and/or had the best overall atmosphere. For me the choice is always the original Condemned, not to parrot Yahtzee...

I believe it is impossible to choose between the two. Story and Gameplay are inextricably linked whether it is intended or not and good games are the ones that realize this. Take Arkham Asylum, the game's story and concept is brilliant, a predatorial man trapped in a house of more predators but...

Shakespeare versus Stephen King Cthulu versus All four Chaos Gods The God Emperor of Dune versus Aquaman The God Emperor of Mankind versus Horus versus Megatron The Black Knight(doesn't feel pain) versus the Green Knight( a ghost so he can't be harmed) EPIC STALEMATE

Thanks for all of the positive feedback guys! @IdealistCommi- How do you add pictures btw? Escapist Forums weren't behaving. @Sonicron and Dyp 100- Halo 1 is really good, No argument there, and I picked up ODST a week after it came out for $40 bucks from a friend. It also seems my Avatar...

Unquestioningly I'd have to say Son of the Mask. I cannot imagine anyone writing, working or, acting in, or directing that film at any given moment saying "Yup, this is a promising film. We're Oscar material" Runners Up are: Spider Man 3: "Hey guys, lets make a Spider man Movie without...

Well, yes I'm aware of this feedback contraption, I just meant his delivery seemed like a review as well. I must remember that delivery of what one says is difficult to translate over the internet

This is all rather metaphysical for a User Review on a Forum

Thanks for your comment, but doesn't this mean you technically just reviewed my review?

Let me get something out of the way at the very start of this review. I am a fan of Halo... That's it. Halo:Combat Evolved. Not 2, not three. I understand that may make some people angry, so that's why I included the poll. I felt that Halo 2 and 3 were just trying to hard, had horrendous...

Who the hell would want to play Oblivion, it was just Fallout 3 with swords and who in their right mind would play Fallout three? That sack of shit was just Oblivion with guns (in all seriousness, Fallout 3 was better. But Bethesda, give your NPCs eyes!)

If life were an RPG, I'd stand on corners all day, telling people to either A) Do quests that don't exist or B) Send them all to one place and tell them to vanquish all others who arrive
