That, and for some reason the demo Painkiller really worked for me the first time I played it. I sneaked everywhere, was really careful with the zombies and terrified of every little sound. Then I changed the in-game music to cheesy jpop, and after that I just ran through the levels blasting...

Probably the last two seconds of the final boss fight in Perfect Cherry Blossom. The game isn't scary, but I was dead terrified of the possibility that I'd gotten to the final boss without dying once and now only a few seconds away from victory I might die and I'd have to start again. I've...

... I feel so old now. Looking was one of, if not THE greatest game studio of the early to mid 90's. Here's a few of Looking Glasses greatest hits: Ultima Underworld I and II, System Shock, Flight Unlimited, Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri and Thief. If you haven't been gaming since the...

Three Words: Looking Glass Studios. Their games had a few things in common. They were groundbreaking, highly praised by reviewers and tended to sell dismally.

... Am I the only one who thinks that today "Hard" means Normal and "Normal" is pretty damn easy? Granted I haven't really played that many recent games and only own a PC and a Wii (the other consoles don't have anything that the PC doesn't have and/or that would interest me. Except for Gran...

Old. rFactor had this sort of thing in 2005, your car would quite often break (engine blowout, tyre puncture) before the first corner. I know because I used a cracked version to use multiple installs of the game (and I hate having to keep the disc in the drive, the noise drives me nuts). I also...
