Making up my own backstory. Way back when going through the Halo: Combat Evolved Campaign, me and a friend applied our own story about a pair of Super Soldier mercenaries, which I carried on doing in games like GTA and Splinter Cell. So far my guy has lived through the Crusades, acquired a time...

Personally I would recommend Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, though if it's boobs you want try Ikkitousen. The story is interesting, exploring the consequences of characters knowing their own fate as they relive the 3 kingdoms era of chinese history in modern day japan against the backdrop...

If Assassin's creed continues to follow Black Adder, the next game will either take place during the Nepolionic wars or the American war of independence. Personally Napoleon's conquest would make for an interesting back drop; where they had rifles with only one good shot, so the sword isn't...

I enjoy the show; excellent quality of animation, some genuinely funny humour and a decent attempt at expressing emotion in an air of crisis and dispair. I don't really mind about the fan service, but it does make me cautious before recommending the show to anyone and is literally impossible to...

Games should try and find a balance of all elements. Single player isn't a bonus, and neither is multiplayer. Call of Duty: Black ops described it best on the back of the box; 3 games in one (3 being single player campaign, Multiplayer deathmatch and Nazi Zombies (arguably) cop-op)

Nero's Red Queen sword from Devil May Cry 4. Something about giving a sword the mechanisms of a motorbike really touches the primitive part of my brain.

People who believe that God is a substitute for Prejudice. That's why I don't associate myself with organised religions.

While it's not on any other your systems, I find Prototype to be very therapeutic. That's why I keep an easy mode save file with everything unlocked; with the using enemies as walking health kits and a decent range of weapons, it's a great game to just go nuts and rampage. Gears of War is...

While I don't agree with Hallo 4, I will be buying anniversary. Firstly I'm one of those sad people who likes to appreciate the scenery in games, and while they aren't a deal breaker I like graphical upgrades to my favorite games (which I wish upon Metal Gear Solid PLEASE!). Secondly it's a...

In my case it was nostalgia; when I was 10 EVERYBODY was playing this game. We traded the cards while we talked about the latest episode of the show. It defied all social conventions, age and gender groups and still holds a place in my heart as the franchise by which my final primary school...

I believe that they are his opinion, but exaggerated. Like he said after his Portal review "Nobody likes it when I'm nice to a game". I don't go to him for an honest review of the game, I go to be entertained. Some people (see his "Mailbox showdown" video) take his videos too far. A lot of...

Probably either Heavy Rain (a game designed to play out as an interactive movie, with a plot that changes depending on your experience) or Mass Effect, though you could probably take your pick from Bioware's back catalogue. Best to stick with a game that you know and understand however, so I...

A friend at uni found out that I like animated internet comedy and video games, so he barged into my room one evening, put on an episode of zero punc and my productivity stopped shortly afterwards until I had watched the entire back catalogue.

I actually got back into the Simpsons fairly recently, around season 21, and I actually haven't laughed at an episode of anything that much since season 5 of Family Guy.

The word "assumption" touched me as a child.
