    Who's considering getting a Vita?

    Mine's already pre-ordered. I'm one of those people who loves getting things on release day, knowing full well that it's probably the least cost-effective way of buying things - especially with handhelds and their inevitable redesigns. As much as my 3DS was clearly a poor investment (I've...

    Your Favorite Anime

    Definitely Monster.A bit convoluted, but really riveting stuff if you take the time to get into it. Plus hearing lots of German names being pronounced in Japanese accents has a certain charm about it.

    Games that you "should" love but...

    Grand Theft Auto. I've not enjoyed any of them at all. I can happily spend a few hours being an idiot in Just Cause 2 or Saints Row: The Third, but every time I've played GTA I've either been too bored or too frustrated with it to continue for more than about 20 minutes. Also, Valkyria...

    What game(s) have you completely given up on?

    Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - I don't know if it's just me being impatient, but the loading times to actually get into an event have really put me off. I've gone back to it a couple of times, but I just don't seem to have fun. Burnout Paradise - Open world! Minimal loading! But I really don't...

    Your "I'll get back to it" game...

    I've done the first three chapters of each character. It's slow going, and it's mainly reading rather than cut scenes and voice acting, but it's really pleasant to look at, and the combat is relatively deep. There's a lot of grinding available too if that tickles your fancy - its definitely one...

    Your "I'll get back to it" game...

    Folklore is my main one. And thinking about it, the main reason is because has no trophies, so I feel less of a push to get through it, as none of my friends will know of my achievement, which is a shame, because I've really enjoyed what I've played of it so far.

    Explain your username/avatar.

    Username: Guykild - One of the CASTs from Phantasy Star Online Episode 3: CARD Revolution. I used to use Ohgun, but then I kept getting denied new memberships because it contains 'gun'. Avatar: Prinny Kurtis! His serious look on a prinny body makes me happy. Plus, he's green which is a bit...

    Angsty Legend of Zelda Movie Trailer Surfaces

    And there I was thinking nothing could improve on The Breakfast Club. I especially liked the relevance of 'You mess with the bull, you get the horns'. Now I see that John Hughes was clearly referencing Ganon there...

    Does anyone here still play Uncharted 2 online?

    I got really into the multiplayer over the holidays with the 4x cash, so now I'm trying to find some people to play with reasonably regularly i.e. weekly. I'd consult my friends list but as it consists of 2 people it won't get me far. So, anyone care to offer me their company? I'd like to do...

    What is your degree in?

    I tried a BSc in Chemistry, hated 1st year, failed 2nd so left. Now I'm in my second year studying towards a BSc in Building Surveying. Which I'm enjoying much more, but I currently have 4 deadlines over the next 2 weeks, and the overspill of my Christmas gaming is making procrastination far too...

    Nobody likes water levels

    Mario 64 made me dread water levels. I think it's a mix of losing the ability to jump, having limited oxygen, and scary eels...

    What's your job? / What are you studying?

    I've got 2 years of a BSc in Chemistry (which apparently counts for nothing) and am currently studying Building Surveying at Kingston University. I get to know all about construction without ever having to lay a brick. Plus, if I play my cards right, I might be able to get into maintaining...

    Games that got you into gaming?

    I used to have a Batman game for my Amstrad as a child - this took away hours of my free time. Overall Phantasy Star Online has been my biggest pull into gaming. How can repeating the same 4 levels be so addictive?

    Live action pokemon movie: it's not your mother's pocket monsters. (Video inside)

    I'm going with hilarious. Poor acting and cgi could make this a pretty enjoyable watch if it ever goes beyond a trailer.

    Which gaming classics do you loathe?

    I get absolutely no joy from the Monkey Island series. I've got nothing against point and click games - I love the Broken Sword series - but Monkey Island just doesn't do anything for me. Maybe I just don't get the humour?
