I'm almost reluctant to ask this ... were you intentionally quoting the original MGS game there, or is that just me being an embarrassingly obsessive Liquid Snake fanboy?

I liked the level in MGS4 where you had to find Metal Gear wrecks. That was my best, I'm afraid. Still, for the sake of total transparency, my user name on the EA forums (after Command and Conquer 3 came out) was "ItScrinTheGame". Which, in turn, reminded me of a better pun...

Based solely on the fact that Joss Whedon has pretty much been writing Spider-Man-style quips and dialogue for the past fifteen years, my answer must be a resounding "Yes". Then again, it depends on the actual plot of the film: if it's going to be about Thanos and cosmic-galactic stuff, they...

All men cheat: but not equally. Those who cheat by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the cheaters of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their desires with open eyes, to make it possible. This, I did.

My sentiments exactly. I admit the annihilation of the geth did give me pause for thought, but ultimately I had no desire to convert the entire galaxy's population into cyborgs without their knowledge, and I wasn't going to get on board the "Surely indoctrination is something that happens to...

I have observed many similarities between the Mass Effect series and Babylon 5 (two personal favourites: one has Project Lazarus whilst the other has a Lazarus Project, and both have an ancient force representing Order conflicting against Chaos over thousands of years), which made me wish that...

My choice would be The Best Is Yet To Come from the end of Metal Gear Solid. A hauntingly beautiful piece of music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyE0UabtLn0

As a Dynasty Warriors player, I generally don't feel bad about mowing down hundreds of enemies. However, the tiny segments in Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4 which show a nicer side to the enemy soldiers (the Russian troops evacuating the burning Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab, and the Haven Trooper...

If ME3 is to be the conclusion of the trilogy, Bioware have the luxury of being completely unrestricted in how the game ends - which, possibly, might result in a greater number of potential endings for the game. With this in mind, would it be ridiculous for me to hope that one such conclusion...

Ah, yes - the decline of the quick-flying, laser-shooting games of yore does fill my heart with sorrow. My friends still laugh at me whenever I profess my undying love for the G-Police series... Since I've dug out the old PS1, maybe I should buy the old Colony War games too...

As a historian, I would say that war has changed quite significantly - so MGS wins this one. Perhaps you could argue that the reasons for war haven't changed (people are just as vain, arrogant, hateful and greedy as we were five thousand years ago), but ultimately Fallout 3's tagline always...

My Hero of Heroes would have to be Bryan Fuller, for he possesses the great and rare power of entertaining writing. The only episode that I've liked in the last two series has been his return episode, Cold Snap (I was in love with it ten seconds into the episode, and all I'd seen was Dank...

Being mostly a console gamer, I've not really played any flying games since G-Police 1 and 2. Considering how awesome they were, I doubt that I really need to play any newer ones... Just a perfect balance between the confusion of 3D-space shooters and the maddening frustration of realistic...

Some pretty nasty teams here: Groucho Marx, Skaven Grey Seers, Artemis Fowl, River Tam, Greg House and a hundred MGS and FF characters. But I'm gonna stick with my team of the 5 finest mole-men available. They're clearly the good guys, after all.

That is exactly why I've hated so much of the new Doctor Who series. As far as I have seen, RTD simply has no backbone: after massacring the cast at the end of series 1, Magic Rose brought everyone back to life; in the series 2 finale, Rose "died in battle" just like the Devil said... oh, wait...
