To enjoy yourself. For some people that's tightly connected to winning, but others enjoy other parts of the experience. I have to wonder how many people saying they're only giving helpful advice actually come across as massively condescending. If I'm playing something I'm not good at and...

After Assassins Creed 3, there will be Assassins Creed: not-at-all-memorable-subtitle for a couple more years

Never done it intentionally, but the day Skyrim came out I was under the weather and worked from home. At lunch I went out and bought it (I had been planning on waiting for a couple of weeks in the hopes of getting a better deal) I still did my full day's work before starting, although I did...

MGS1, easily. I've tried 2 and 3 a few times but never been able to get into them, but MGS1 drew me in immediately.

Spiderman 2 is the only game I've played that got close to making you genuinely feel like a superhero.

There were two guys outside Whiterun stables. Always standing next to each other, always in the same place. I went to talk to them to see if they were twins or soething, could be an interesting quest. Turns out they're the same person. Same name when my cursor is over them and when I talk to...

A friend of mine has been spamming his smithing and pickpocketing by paying for training then immediately stealing the money back. Wash, rinse repeat. You can only train 5 times per level but he was gaining a level of pickpocket each time so levelling up before he ran out.

I try to avoid it, but if I've been trecking back and forth over the same bit of ground several times I'll often get bored and skip it. I fast travelled everywhere in Oblivion, and my experience was worse for it so I've consciously tried to do it as little as possible in Skyrim

I found the initial customisation a bit overwhelming, and never really tweaked afterwards apart from a few new suits, so I'm not really bothered about this at all. As long as the gameplay is as outrageously over the top as ever I'm happy.

The Army of Two games are split screen. I preferred the first one over 40th Day.

I really liked the visual style of WW, and toony Link had a lot oc character for a mute kid. Second would be LTTP Link. Mainly because it was my favourite Zelda game

I wouldn't recommend 6 personally. There were some nice additions but overall it's less satisfying than 3-5. I never played 4 that much, all I really remember is that you could go into a 1-1 duel with the enemy generals. 5 was the game I sunk most of my time on the original xbox into. A very fun...

Apparently "addicting" is valid. Still irks me whenever I see it though

The most common 360 hack a couple of years back (it may have changed with the more recent firmware) was to connect the DVD drive to a PC and use a utility to flash the firmware, removing the code that checks for an authentic disc. Handhelds tend to use cartridges which can be loaded with a few...

I haven't followed it recently but they always used to be SCEE (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) this side of the pond.
