I was with my grandmother when she died of a pulmonary embolism. I lived with my grandparents (Long story, nothing relevant) and it was quite late at night, heard her shouting me so went downstairs. She wasn't feeling well, wanted me to get her a drink of water etc so all that was fine...

Well, the first FF you play isn't gonna be your favorite. I started with V when I was 5 so and played every single one a number of times now. VII is my favorite but I love a number of them. My favorite five are, in order, VII, X (Blitzball certainly helped. Best Minigame in the FF series for...

Cause he wanted to see a film and unlike a lot of people doesn't feel the need to have somebody with him at all times just to prove he has one or more friends? :P

Last time I had an official IQ test was when I was 13 and in School. I got 136 at that point. I've done these silly web ones and I always get the mid 130's but as anybody who knows can tell you that IQ doesn't mean much now. It is a sign of your logical skills and all that jazz but unless you...

Revival of the topic. Only one game I particularly want to see made if it's done as good as it can - a Leverage game

Man. I still hate the fact that so many people bought into the overwhelmingly mediocre film that is Avatar.

Shogun 2: Total War TES V : Skyrim Portal 2 Guild Wars 2 Dragon Age 2 I Am Alive Mass Effect 3 Team Ico Collection L.A. Noire I could list at least another 15 more games that I am hotly anticipating and certainly getting on release.

There's a few things I've noticed in this thread so I'll go through them. First there is the main point - the black ops being broken on the PC and PS3. While it isn't THAT broken it does have bugs that don't appear on the 360 version which in itself is bad. It proves an unwillingness to...

I've got a name for the guy, lucky son of a *****. Really though. It can be construed as inappropriate behavior but if they're consenting adults, i got no problems. Hell, I'm 22 and less than a year ago I was seeing a woman who at the time was 37 and I had no complaints.

um... Because you don't rate a game oh the actual maturity of the plot and how it would make you think or whatever. A game is rated on it's content as in the violence, sexual content, language, etc. Though I will say one thing. Alan Wake sadly isn't that mature. Granted, it's above the...

haha, I actually won that game. I just kept passing the ball forward and I did the jecht shot from right in front of their goal a few times. Then it was just a case of pile up the defense and act like a brick wall :P The actual managing and playing as your team from then on was one of the...

I have to say I certainly think that a game that touts having a strong single player should be able to stand up on it. I can't emphasize more how Modern Warfare 2 has one of the most atrocious single players there is. I can only go by my own experiences and I went into MW2 having not played a...

I'll be the first to admit I loved X's Blitzball. X-2's wannabe Blitzball Manager game wasn't enjoyable however. Granted, I liked most of the minigames in Final Fantasy. Pretty much everything in VII, the Gold Saucer sucked me in like mad. I played Triple Triad like mad. IX's Tetra Master...

Steam bugs me in a similar way. Not that I can't afford the stuff that is on sale, it's that I actually see the stuff on sale that I wouldn't usually buy and think "oh damn, that's cheap, get that". All those little "oh damn"'s add up to one big "JESUS CHRIST I SPENT THAT MUCH?!?" ...

I love Reaver but for the wrong reasons. I can't dislike reaver for the simple fact that he is voiced by Stephen Fry. I do think that he has points with some of his ideas when you're king though.
