    Zero Punctuation: Painkiller

    Huh. I missed the game the first time around. I recall it was released right before my switch from PC to Mac. Now that I switched from Mac to PC, I guess I'll give the game another try, especially since the Gold Pack's 9.99$ on Steam.

    149: Cliff Bleszinski: The Escapist Interview

    After the 'horrors' that I've heard about 'CliffyB', I definitely didn't expect to see what I read in this interview. He seemed quite an amiable guy. Gonzo and somewhat over-the-top? Mayhaps, but I would actually love to meet him. What does his status as a video game celebrity/playboy game...

It is an incredibly subtle parody of traditional RPG storylines and is spectacularly well-written. Also the game's steampunk setting and the conflict...

    It seems that Radical's upcoming game, Prototype [http://www.prototypegame.com/splash/] is similar to what you were envisioning, perhaps sans the character evolution. The player is a genetically-engineered monster that terrorizes a large city and eats other living beings, gaining their abilities...

    First person other genres: Beyond shooting....

    Thief: The Dark Project was one of the first 3D stealth games (along with Metal Gear Solid a few months later). The Dark Project, as well as the sequel, The Metal Age, were both first-person stealth games. The optional 3rd person view was only added in Deadly Shadows. As far as FPS games...
