The "shock" scene in MW3 got me most recently. I was plaing on my new 46" TV with my headphones on and I was totally immersed in the game. That just came out of nowhere and I actually had to stop and chill, I suppose it was more the absolute horror of war plus being totally focused on the game...

What got me was when fighting as Catwoman all the insults were pretty rapey but insults to Batman were about killing him. Where's the threats of killing Catwoman and threats of rape to Batman. It is set in a prison after all... I'm not usually bothered by this stuff but constant threats of...

I ONLY buy PS3 exclusives for my PS3, because everything else I prefer to play on the 360. Granted, though, I haven't bought many games: Resistance 1, Heavy Rain, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction. That's about it, and I only finished Uncharted and Heavy Rain. I...

This is just horrid. Every bloody time my husband and I get a game that has one of these pass things there's always question as to whether we will both be able to access the content or only one of us. Sometimes we both can, others have limited access (Cerberus for example, I can use the DLC but...

I just checked and the system requirements seem super low, I have a 2 year old PC and I'm far above the recommended requirements, Most stuff released this year I'm just over minimum. That said, I still wouldn't advise buying it anyway.

Visually Dead Space is a fantastic set up for a horror game, where it falls flat for me is knowing for a fact that there will be a monster in the next room. Nothing is going to stalk me quietly for god knows how long because it's all "bang, crash, boo" and their appearance is so predictable...

I do, I'm getting pretty pumped for Old World Blues this week. It looks like so much fun. Honest Hearts was a little dodgy but I felt like Dead Money was awesome, I think I liked the story more than F:NV itself.

I hope it lives up to the trailer, it looks so fun!

I prefer men but if I'm going for something I like to look at I'm going to have to go with the female chest. Women just look nicer.

Standard controls. Most FPS games have similar controls for a reason, it works well and I think it's become natural to expect a certain button to do a certain thing because it makes sense. When the rare game messes with this expectation I'm always pressing the wrong thing. For example...

That part where you talk about the Ishimura where you're waiting for something to happen, that "creeping dread"? A good horror has you feeling like that all the time, the problem today is that most horror games rely on cheap shock scares at almost regular intervals rather than the fear that...

I loved it, but that ending? Felt like a kick in the you know wheres. I co-op'd with my friend and then my husband to properly hear/witness their reactions. It was a lot more fun those times. The DLC was fantastic though, I feel like they realised what was lacking in the main "story" and...

I have both PS3 and 360. I use the 360 for everything except for PS3 exclusives in theory. In fact I hardly ever use the PS3. Why? The controller is probably the main reason. Seriously. Hold both for a while and decide which you like more. I also don't care that the PSN is free, even before...

As others have said it's stupid to assume that we are the only life out there. But who knows? We may not even recognise other forms of life if we came across it. I guess what I mean is; what we understand to be life and what we assume is required for life could be so different from other...

I'm like that too and I never randomise tracks either. I'm even worse with games. Once started I cannot start another game until I'm done. My husband has what seems to me a plethora of unfinished games and he just plays whatever he feels like playing. Him doing that makes me nuts. I also...
