Hi everybody! Long time reader, few time poster. I guess you could say I'm something of an RPG fan. Well yesterday I completed Xenoblade Chronicles (brilliant game), clocking in at 120 hours. Before that I finished Bravely Default (awesome game) at 160 hours. And sandwiched inbetween...

Bought a PS2 a while back (my first playstation console) so I could play all the games I never had the opportunity to with every other console I own. I currently have Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy IX, God of War 1 & 2 aaaaaaaand Vagrant Story still to go. And...

There are a few Maiden albums that qualify but just to be diverse I'm gonna list my favourite. Powerslave - Iron Maiden England Keep My Bones - Frank Turner Somewhere in the Between - Streetlight Manifesto Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly The Protomen - The Protomen (this is a gaming...

I can't remember too well to be sure it was the first, but I can recall slotting a gold NES cartridge into the console and grabbing a wooden sword off a crazy old man. Ah The Legend of Zelda. I was far too young to even fathom completing the game, but it was all groovy.

Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Galaxy. The former is dull and the latter is painfully easy. I just don't see why they get the praise. Before I'm sacrificed to Miyamoto for blasphemy, please be aware that I did enjoy 64 and Super Mario World. I'm also small and won't bleed enough to satisfy...

Currently alternating between Sonic Generations and Arkham City, with a subtle hint of Megaman whenever I take a break,

I'm currently reading Journey to the West (although it's actually 1/6th of the tale and called Monkey instead, I think because of translation issues and trimming). I finished Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and going from baffling English spy novel to a simplified Chinese story is actually quite...

I've had my car for 2 years now. I was first with Admiral, which offered my £1.2k for 10 months for my 1 litre Corsa (gits). But this year I switched to co-op young driver's insurance. A year's cover for just £850. All they do is stick a box in your car that rates how well you drive so, at the...

I own the Wii version and while its not a bad game, the fact that Sean Bean isn't 006 just feels so very wrong. I still don't see the point of modernising it. Sure it can be more relevant to today's issues, but who cares? The story was fine the way it is and putting Craig in only removes one...

Being English, I basically live on tea. Usually PG Tips, Tetleys or Twinings (depends on which has the better offer when I pick up a bulk pack at Sainsbury's). I even have a clipping from the Metro (free British paper) where scientists discovered the secret to a perfect cup. You let the bag stew...

1) Iron Maiden (saw them last night at the o2. T'was epic!!) 2) Streetlight Manifesto 3) Flogging Molly 4) Zebrahead 5) Johnny Cash Metallica makes an unsteady appearance at 6, though Fozzy and Biffy Clyro are looking to topple them.

In fairness, Spiderman 2 was really good, and there were the odd few like Batman on the NES. To join in with everyone else, Sonic 2006. It came so very close to killing my childhood forever. However, I can't not mention Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Aside forcing you into a train that travels so...

I'd buy an island, spend years developing it to be the ultimate adventure game, and tempt people with a ten million pound prize if they beat it. Naturally it would be filled with lush forests, some "ancient" ruins, suspicious locals etcetera. I figure if I turn it into a half country, half...

This. A thousand times this. Take Generations as a prime example. They whined when it was a rumour of revisiting old games. Then they saw the leaked level list and complained about that. Then they played the demo and all hell broke loose. I used to visit the boards on Gamefaqs so I could...

Boss music in Sonic is always pretty good, but this is probably the best. And this remix is the nuts.
