I'm going to second guitaroo man, the strangst thing for me being that when you get your guitaroo you age about ten years! Whats that all about!

oh my, well ff7 and 8 obviously but also MGS (its just awesome lets face it!), vagrant story, wipeout and tekken 3 and soul reaver (almost perfect 3d action game, at the time i wished tomb raider could play like it!) and tomb raider 2 (really loved the opening in China and the Venice levels were...

If your hat is a little pointy you had better have a licence for it!

Ribbit King on the PS2 it is one of the daftest games I have ever played and its quite wrong, you shouldn't be allowed to hurl innocent frogs into the open mouths of snakes, wiggle them free and then dose them up with drugs so that you can hurl them futher on your next turn! that said it...

You got my hopes up with this thread and its just full of fail!

Sonic the Hedgehog and Alex the Kidd on the master system. 1st games I played at home and loved them both.

"If you mess with me it's over G" - Gitaroo man "you look bushed" - FFX Carrot: "I'm arresting you for loitering with intent" Rincewind: "Intent to what?!" Carrot: "Intent to loiter!" And the rest of the Diskworld game!

THANK YOU! I was starting to loose my marbles reading all these threads! Yes at the time it was the best! Not to mention when VII came out the Play Station was reigning supreme in the console market so more people had a PS and therefore more poeple played it over previous titles - hence why...

Same for me I loved the Saturn, and almost everything made by sonic team at the time, Burning Rangers and NiGHTs still two of my fav games! I think Croc (PS) is a really nostalgic game for me, cutsie graphics, 3D gameplay which was alll new and exciting at the time, neat story and awesome...

I don't think SEGA will ever be able to make a Sonic sequal that feels fresh, or fills you with excietment and is just fun to play, because Sonic is a 2D game, it should only ever be a 2D, countless itterations in the third person have proved it just doesn't work. I think Sonic Rush DS and...

I think an understanding of what the game is about is important, if that understanding can only be obtained through dialogue or text then you'll obviously need it in your native language! Games like Ouendan and Taiko no Tatsujin can be enjoyed in any language, although the game has some story...

*grinded sorry!

I liked the rant about the spear and "Lord Fenton-Smythe McWaistcoat" is inspired, but I think your rant about the leveling system wasn't quite vehement enough. I love JRPGs (a lot, well someone has to!) and I waited for this game with huge anticipation! And, I was massively disappointed...

I think the Freudian idea is about right, looking at some of the other monster designs they seem to be playing with Freud's theory of psychosexual development, (where men are in love with their mothers and see them as sexual objects) in Silent Hill it seems their taking the base subconscious...

This is an area I'm really interested in right now. I'm a student and currently doing research into why people play games, and so far I'm hearing the same answers. Essentially (and as I think escapist magazine are fully aware of) it's the sense of escapism. What I would like to ask though...
