    Stolen Pixels #199: Breen Fortress, Part 5

    Let me guess, he's carrying a Sandvich-Sandvich too? They'll be overarmed and full by the end.

    The Story Snob

    I know Final Fantasy XIII is supposed to have a grand story, but I find myself inching through that game. The importance of stories is always evident, but I have played many games where story is shelled out but I had immense fun (Just Cause 2, I'm looking at you). The point I'm trying to make, I...

    Best Intro to a game?

    That game made Batman fantastic for me, the intro was presented well and sets you up for the ride. On the flip side, I really disliked the Red Dead Redemption opening cinematic, considering the first thing I did when I got off the train was attack the first person I saw to see what would...

    Critic Accuses Prince of Persia of "Whitewashing"

    That movie is a personal favorite of mine, it was pretty fantastic but the fact that it's set in an ancient traditional Asian area didn't explain the amount of actors who happened to be white. At least the fights were good. OT: Someone's already stated that he matches the game character AND...

    I didn't realize Resident Evil 4 had a run button until I hit the mansion...

    Dante's Inferno feels too much like GoW...

    I understand I'm late to the party on this one, but I felt too many similarities in Dante's and posted here. What got me was the Right-stick rolling and the double jumping. The bosses in Dante's are nice and very interesting, and the game as a whole isn't bad, I was pointing out something I had...

    Dante's Inferno feels too much like GoW...

    I've recently acquired Dante's Inferno, and after only a few seconds with the game Dante felt like Kratos, through and through. I understand that there is a strong narrative behind the game, portrayed quite well, but I can't help but quit playing at times because I feel like I've done it all...

    We should send the kid a copy of Watchmen.

    "Holy Shit!" Moments

    My buddy said "Holy shit" the first time I played the Just Cause 2 demo. He noted how nice the background area looked and asked if there was any way t get to it. He was pleasantly surprised. Personally, Doom 3 at 3 A.M. after it came out and, I cannot stress this enough, UnCharted. The...

    What is your favorite weapon from a video game...?

    Oddjob's hat. That is all.

    What is your favorite weapon from a video game...?

    That's my personal favorite, following the keyblade and the plasma pistol from Halo 3.

    DLC Done Right.

    TF2 is DLC done right. The fact that Valve keeps such a strong connection with it's fans shows other devs how to act, in my opinion.

    Poll: Have you ever had gaming-induced hallucinations? (Like the "Tetris Effect")

    Before I got my PS3 I used to hear the 360 achievement noise randomly. Hell, I still do, sometimes.

    I need some real horror gaming...

    My father played Silent Hill 2, maybe I can get it off of him. I went through RE4 and it didn't really scare me. I didn't play FEAR 1 but I went through FEAR 2 with no real scares besides the beginning when Alma jumps from the little music player in the helicopter. I'll try the first one out.

    I need some real horror gaming...

    ... and I'm lost as to where this can be found. It took stereo headphones for Dead Space to get spooky, and the last game that shocked me mildly was way back when with Thief 2 on the PC (it was the atmosphere, mostly). I would thoroughly enjoy any recommendations and anecdotes to help my next...
