Reverse example: I know everyone complains about it, but the ending of Indigo Prophecy was the best bit. Up until then it was just kind of dreary thriller, but then evil mayans and sentient AI's and sex scenes in hobo-infested railway stations start exploding out of it's ass and it all reaches a...

Two words: Silent Hill. With the possible exception of the newer, more action-oriented variety like resident evil 4, Survival horror has never been "Fun". It's done just fine.

The problem I have with audio logs that, conjoined with some bloody writing on the walls and a few bodies, they're the ONLY things that people have left behind them. In the ruined remnants of shooter-world, it seems, there were no posters, no diaries, no sketchpads, no graffitti, no emails...

Any boss that just frigging WON'T STAY DOWN. Final Fantasy X comes to mind... can't remember the guys name, though.

"Love? Love is for the Living." ALWAYS.

Well, thanks for thanking me for criticising. CIVILITY! I guess we went into it with different expectations, is the real thing. I went into it as a 14 year old expecting a stupid kids game for stupid kids, and that's what I got. And once I abandoned the "Why the hell is Link turning into a...

Second of all, I wanted to know what the hell was so good of this series that it demanded sequels. Since the Mass Effect series has declared itself to be a trilogy, probably due to how popular the first game was, It wasn't a cash-in strategy: Mass Effect was always made to be trilogy...

Can't say I played it through, but playing through to level 17 and then watching a friend complete it... the ending really seems like it sucks. That final boss, and... the vault? Ugh.

I like the Hardcore Incredible Depth Fallout/Baldurs Gate RPG vs. Corridor Shooter with Dialogue debate here, but I think it's probably worth throwing in something: ME 1 was never actually any deeper than ME 2, really. Yeah, it had a huge amount of guns and armour and junk you picked up, but...

Loved the review. Commenting on Zero Punctuation videos always seemed like an exercise in futility to me (By the time you get on there's already 11 pages of people saying every possible thing you could have said- what's the point of adding your two cents?) but I loved this enough to post. To...

Man, I KNEW something was up about Miranda's accent! I'm Australian, so it was sort of like hearing this strange LACK of accent in amoung all these american accents. Confused me for a bit. Space accents are weird, you never know if the googly-eyed alien is actually meant to have been raised in...

Shady Hanz, from Noitu Love 2. Such an awesome boss.

"So what course are you going into at university?" "Oh, uh, Bachelor of Game Design. At Griffith." "Well...Wow, haha ha ha! You can just be a kid your whole life, can't you!" or what other reactions have I had... "Really? You can DO that?"

This is kind of an odd, personal one, but: Jak and Daxter: The precursor legacy. Bought it when I was a kid and I was so psyched for it. I thought it would be like classic Banjo Kazooie, (my favourite game at the time) and the reviews hyped it up a lot. Then I get it, and it turns out that...

A DEFENSE OF TWILIGHT PRINCESS. Twilight Princess was the first zelda game I ever played. I played it as someone who never even actually liked ocarina of time, as a kid (I must of been, what, 14? I can't remember what time the game came out). I don't think I can be accused of nostalgia, or...
