Oooh, excellent choice. I'd say it's one of the best psychological horror games ever made, because it's so freaking SUBVERSIVE and UNREAL and EMOTIONALLY SHATTERING - really good traits of effective psychological horror. And it's made even better by the fact that you get no warning ahead of time...

So, essentially, you want the Golden Ticket from Last Action Hero, only entirely under the control of your will. That's a good wish, and one I'd considered before. :)

Well... Number 1: Unquestionably, the ability to transform myself or anyone else in any way I want, as many times as I want. I could make tons of money with surgery-free cosmetic alteration and indulging people's weird fetishes (including my own, not judging) and could effectively grant...

QFT. This right here says it all. What makes a character evil is a *combination* of their intents and actions, and it's highly situational. And there can be layers upon layers. For instance: Sir William murders his master King John, who was generally beloved and benevolent, in cold blood...

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. You can get the complete edition with all the DLC for like $30 and it'll entertain you for dozens of hours if you like Western RPGs. Horizon Zero Dawn is *phenomenal* if you don't count a bow and arrow as shooting. Life is Strange has a compelling, dark, and...

I loved this game so much I beat it at least three times. I can still remember the robo-dog from the last area popping up toast slices from its back when it barked. And Ivor Tower/Ebon Keep. And having to fight a wall of speakers and fans, for some reason. And the Roman gladiator in a chariot...

Dreadhalls on my Gear VR. I can play most VR games on it with mild or no nausea, but Dreadhalls was NOT kind to my equilibrium. Plus it's immersive enough that I actually felt like I was stranded alone in a creepy dark dungeon with awful things scuttling somewhere in the dark...Nope. The only...

Honestly, I thought the Mass Effect series did a pretty good job with it. None of your choices were treated as inherently "good vs. evil." It was more like "selfless vs. ruthless." And in many cases, it was a choice between two shades of gray: save the Rachni Queen but risk another Rachni War or...

*obligatory Benjamin Franklin liberty/security quote* I don't care whether or not I have anything to "hide." I don't feel like the government should have carte blanche to snoop on anything and everything I do. Due to reading a LOT of Cracked articles and at times wanting more information on a...

Personally I think the whole thing is pretty good. My other favorite bit from it is "Don't be reckless with others' hearts; don't put up with people who are reckless with yours."

"Prices will rise, politicians will lie, and you, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were younger, prices were reasonable, politicians were honest, and young people respected their elders." -Baz Luhrmann "Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for...

From Douglas Adams: "In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." and "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly...

I sincerely hope that the folks in charge of this site have paid close attention to this thread (I mean, other than issuing bans and warnings). If this clusterflock of a 'discussion' has illustrated one thing very clearly, it's that there's a severe disconnect between how The Escapist feels...

Little King's Story. What was a rather clever and somewhat challenging Pikmin-like game suddenly introduces a boss that's a pinball machine, meaning you have to bang him against the targets repeatedly to take off his health bar, then hit him juuuuuuuust right and hope you're lucky enough to...

I'm alright with cats, but dogs are my favorite. Most canine companions in video games get named after my mutt. I do miss my bearded dragons, though.
