I never got more than ninety minutes into this game. I would boot it up and just sit there, listening to the sounds of monsters in the distance, with my heart pounding and hands sweating. And then I would close the game again. Horror movies don't bother me, but games apparently touch a nerve...

EDIT: Oops, double post.

I also had to reload after accidentally disintegrating the "different" turret in Portal 2. I was kind of sad that the only option was to just leave it on the catwalk :p I also teared up a little at the end of Bioshock 2. The good ending is just so wonderfully emotional... As for other...

When I find myself mashing the quicksave button every few minutes, even when I'm just surfing the Internet. Also, playing Mirror's Edge always makes me pay more attention to red objects.

Poll needs a cranberry option! Though my absolute favorite is Ocean Spray's Pomegranate Blueberry.

*twitches slightly* I do hope this is sarcasm, but on to off chance that it isn't: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Ryan_%28BioShock%29

Awesome! :D I really enjoyed that one; a great way to end the arc (or is it the end...?!)

"A good story is like a good bowel movement" ...and I'm still cracking up :D

The zombie screaming in HL2 creeps the hell out of me every time I hear it. I like to think that they're just decayed/mutated/insane enough not to be able to think or vocalize properly, but human enough to still react recognizably to pain. Which is horrifying in itself. On topic, kinda: I...

Yeah, this is a great one. I wound up siding with Ashur, the guy in power, because he seemed like he actually had a plan for making things better, while the rebels might conceivably have plunged the whole thing into chaos. Then, when walking through the Pitt a little later on, I noticed that a...

Yes! I loved that level, and I too let them live. I wish they had done more with including splicers who, if not actively friendly, were at least not actively hostile to the player. It seemed like a bit of a stretch that for every single person in Rapture to go all homicidal, and I always...

Speech is a surprisingly awesome skill to level up in this one, as it will give you access to new conversation options that can often save you a lot of trouble. I always like boosting lockpick and science as well, since they let you access all of the locked containers and terminals in the...

Worst part of HL2: That antlion level, where they swarm you if you touch the sand.

I really loved Bioshock 2--the story took a while to get going, but once it did I found it to be the equal of the first one (Really! The places that they took Lamb's philosophy were wonderfully disturbing, and the way the game is resolved, with regards to Elenor's fate, is really cool. One of...

Fail. Steam is rubbish, and the many problems I had trying to use it to install Empire Total War is what made me abandon the series. In addition to which, having to run third party software to play PC games is patently absurd. I was really looking forward to this, too...hmm. If it means more...
