Battlefield 1942, playing as an engineer on Operation Market Garden. Can't remember what was going on, apart from I was near the AA guns not far from the windmill. Think I might have been laying some explosives and mines near enemy vehicles. Was running along and some Axis fella saw me and...

That was my first though too. Very offputting. It turned me off and I didn't bother reading the end of the post.

I could imagine a scenario like the mid 80s when something so far ahead of high end PCs appears most people just abandon PC gaming. The Amiga did it back then. I can't see where it's coming from now though. Sony and Microsoft and Apple all use components derived from PCs. Nintendo is so...

Funny how the 6,948 dual core Opterons don't get a mention (by name) in most sources I've seen. Clearly Sony have more to spend on their marketing than AMD. The Opterons are being used as the CPUs in the machine, while the Cells are utilised as Maths Co-processors as far as I can tell...

I believe that the developers' excuse for how long it's taken are Cocaine, whores and World of Warcraft. It's plausible.

Bang on. Exactly how I feel about the game - although I'm trying to like it more. There's just so much that screams "You are playing a game!!!" over and over again. I found FFVII's bad translation more immersive than the pathetically small troupe of voice actors. I am sort of enjoying...

I'm a Christian. I used to share this unequivocal view that people that weren't believing Christians would have an eternal punishment. It's certainly true that that's the majority Christian viewpoint in recent times and, if it surprises anybody that a Christian is coming out and saying it...

I mentioned three games. I'll give you FFVII - decent kids story. I thought about it some more. Every other game I played had a poor to mediocre storyline. I can't agree with Fahrenheit / Indego Prophesy. It sufficed as a game plot but it wouldn't stand up as a film or book. It started...

Barring disability preventing me from doing so - yes. And I hope to see the gaming equivalent of Shakespeare, Orson Welles or Da Vinci emerge before I die.

It's not entirely coincidental. Sensible Soccer sparking my interest in football provided motivation that I wouldn't have had in other circumstances. Without that, I honestly think I could have been too big to leave the house by now. The later instances are a combination of co-incidence and...

It's not so much length as padding. I must have spent 50+ hours on Bloodlines but most of it seemed relevant. I've recently started Oblivion for the third time now. On my first go I broke the game by chatting to people too much and everything levelled past me. On my second try I realised...

Hunter on the Amiga/ST (first 3d open-world game I played). Elite / Frontier / First Encounters deserve a decent one. Sensible World of Soccer Deus Ex diserves a sequel worthy of the name. Hope they manage it with DX3. Syndicate.

I can't help but think, Wii-isms aside, there's increasingly less reason to have a difference between the PC, PS3 and 360 versions. Within a few years (maybe decades) I can see a gaming standard that's equivalent to DVD for movies. There will be dedicated consoles that will run it. You'll be...

I play games more for their potential rather than what they actually are. I get bored with and fail to finish most games. Looking back, I have completed (without cheating) in the last 10 years, Half Life, Final Fantasy VII, Halo, Knights of the Old Republic, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines...
