Where to start? I'm not sure why, but I've always had a strange soft-spot for game characters. I tend to like the more realistic and normally proportioned characters though (Tifa excepted). The Ladies (I think I may have a thing for brunettes): Chloe Frazer - Uncharted 2 Morrigan - Dragon...

I found the same thing, hence the topic. It is meant to promote thought into the subject and get people discussing which elements are worse in their opinion. In doing so I have found myself leaning more into a certain direction (gamers - albeit for different reasons). If you class food for...

Very nice callout on Suda there, I genuinely get excited whenever they announce a new project. But reminds me of another problem. Shadows of the Damned was a great game and one of the most enjoyable games I've played in a long while. But its sales were terrible. So it is worrying that so much...

I was just over on GameFAQs.com as I like to take part in their daily poll, and today's poll had me stumped. I simply couldn't choose an answer. This was striking to me as it really highlighted how much is currently wrong with the industry. It made me recall a time when gaming felt like it was...

I play every game I have on the hardest possible difficulty, as I feel I get the most of the game that way, and I will improve as a gamer by doing so. I will never lower the difficulty, as once I am challenged, I stubbornly persevere until I accomplish the goal. I will agree that it's not...

Dark Souls offers some of the best and obviously hardest boss fights in any game, ever. But the hardest are between the Four Kings and Seath the Scaleless. Especially on each subsequent playthrough in which they increase in strength by an absurd amount. Four Kings is hard because it needs to...

60-odd hours into Dragon Age: Origins. My PS3 gets the yellow light of death and I lose my save (I'm pretty sure the saves for that game were copy-protected, and I didn't have any cloud to save them to at the time). I am stubborn and will persevere with almost everything I start, but I have...

I literally thought the polar opposite. Personally I don't want any more Star Wars movies. But if it were to be done, I'd say Whedon is the best in the business at the moment to handle it. And has he not proven in the Avengers that he can do large-scale set-pieces and story-telling? And I think...

Well, not sure if this counts, as I believe the movie was made back in '09, but it got released here last year, and it was undoubtedly my favourite of the year... Cabin in the Woods. Just, wow! It both parodied and mastered the horror genre, and the ending is probably one of the craziest you'll...

Whilst watching the film, I'd have agreed, it works impeccably within the film itself. I then got the album afterwards, and the majority is unlistenable outside of the movie, apart from the particularly Daft Punk-esque few (I think Derezzed was the best as a stand alone song). But, a similar...

I'd have to say that I prefer contemporary writing, purely because literature is now completely free. There is no censorship or holding back. It is pure expression, whereas pre-19th century, literature was still highly censored, I mean look at the Marquis de Sade. He was imprisoned for his...

I remember an old game for the PS2 called The Suffering, I bought both that and the sequel together as they looked pretty damn nasty, and I like that sort of thing. The gameplay itself was quite boring, and I don't remember any levels looking much different to the ones before, then, when I was...

I think it's great, but for strange reasons. As a game, it is terrible. There is ultimately no point to it, the page collection is a seemingly arbitrary task, that is incredibly hard to complete, and it's trivial, especially under the circumstances. But the game does have atmosphere, and I...

I'm not sure if I did my self a disservice by watching 'Grave of the Fireflies' as my first Studio Ghibli film. It was one of the most beautiful films I ever have seen and probably ever will. How can anything follow that? The clips I've seen of others haven't really grabbed me in the same way...

Great call with the mention of Super. That is the epitome of disturbing. What makes it so horrible is that it is uncomfortably grounded in reality, which is unusual for superhero/vigilante stories. So what you're left with is literally just a man with serious mental difficulties struggle to...
