Anything where I feel a sense of vulnerability. And atmosphere. The opening levels of Doom 3 used to scare the living bejesus out of me, because the lighting (or lack of) was well-done, sound was good, with the crackling radio and rumbles, and the tiny torch all helped to create the sense that...

yeah. call me old fashioned, but i love the experience of going into a shop and talking with the assistant, have a bit of banter, and come away with a disc with a game on it, which i can then have no matter what happens to my computer. incidentally, I don't download music either

Terrorism is sometimes defined as "using the THREAT of violence to intimidate or coerce esp. for political ends"

Again, I want to re-iterate that I am IN NO WAY comparing any of these groups to a militant organisation responsible for the deaths of many thousands of people. But surely you can't have a group essentially breaking into the network of a defense department, or a bank and getting away with...

Probably F1 2010. It's an F1 racing game, so technically doesn't have an endpoint. You win the season and continue into three more for each single player stanza (for wont of a better word). However if we were calling one season the campaign, and ramp up race distance to 100% as I did (massive...
