You're seriously telling me that guys on this forum enjoyed Twilight. Well, my respect for this place just plummeted.

Looking at the bright side, Psycho is way cooler than that random mute guy from before.

Morrowind. Or, should I say, Oblivion's okay too.

Alyx Vance has been reduced to Gordon's damsel in distress, unfortunately. Ever since the whole traveling buddies thing got going, so did Valve's struggle to make us like her more. Now Samus- damn. That's what every man wants in a woman. Ass kicking. She doesn't need a Dead-or-Alive style...

And yet it was better than roughtly 80% of most game trailers. Says a lot about the market's advertising, huh? Oh, and Oh No You Didn't > Still Alive

... So the entire game, I'm depriving someone of their homeland? Wow, that's messed up. And I guess that makes the game better, the enemy having an actual motive.

While most people who play World of Warcraft are ugly fatasses with no friends, right? See, I can generalize too.

Abako, I follow you, but let's see here. Most FPS games give you some excuse to allow you to take multiple body shots. Half Life? Government-funded nuclear operation gear. TimeSplitters? Futuristic armor while everyone else uses dated weapons. 007? You use top-of-the-line gear while everyone...

About freeform; I'm talking about the game layout itself. You're never given the option (aside from about... three, four times) to cut through the jungle itself. There are only a few extraneous military bases. What I'm saying is that despite boasting a sandbox-type environment, it still resorts...

Oh, forgot to mention- the game would be more enjoyable if you play Morrowind beforehand.

Ooh, an uppity one. For a game that stresses freedom, it approaches it the same way FPS games did in in 2001: you can sneak in, run in, whatever. Use vehicle, don't use vehicle. The game isn't free-form; you're given your objectives and given a beaten path. The game pulls the old-fashioned "oh...

... Well, thanks. So the point of the game was just to bask in the graphics as opposed to enjoy yourself with the gameplay?

What the hook is or is not doesn't make a game any better.

Yes, that one game. Can you recall it? Probably not. In the sweep of games that are, you know, notable and worthwhile (MGS4, GTAIV, Brawl, etc.), Crysis is forgotten. Well, with good reason. I'll make this brief; Crysis is your usual first person shooter. It gives you an unrealistic skew...

Yeah yeah I know. There are a bunch of reviews about it already, but whatever. So, Oblivion. Successor to Morrowind; unsurprisingly, it's a pretty cool game. You know, vast expanse of land, like ten cities, all sorts of monsters and weapons and skills. I mean, sounds great. In the big...
