Since Castlevania is such an established and long-running series, I should probably preface this by saying that Order of Ecclesia is the first one I have played. As such, I can't offer any comparison between this and its predecessors. The line between challenging and infuriating is incredibly...

Final Fantasy 13. Found it torturous to play through, which was disappointing. The last time I really got into a FF game was back in 2001 or 2002 - whenever the tenth one came out.

I've never really noticed sex in games. The Sims and Dragon Age are the only ones I can think of. Considering how most games have trouble delivering dialogue in everyday situations without it being awkward and cringey, I can't really imagine the subtleties of a sex scene being executed without...

I'd only be okay with it if it was a game that I played often and got a lot of enjoyment out of. Though with most things, the first month is free and by then it's easy to know whether it's worth subscribing to or not anyway.

As a child, whenever we got to the blue whale in Ecco the Dolphin I'd have to leave the room cos it scared me so much. More recently, Ooccoo and son from Twilight Princess were possibly the most unintentionally terrifying things I've ever seen...
