Yeah... the thing with Cloud is that his past is slowly revealed. Playing for 15 minutes and deciding you don't like the character so won't play the game just sounds like you decided before you played it that you were going to have a problem with it. I didn't, I played the game about 8 years...

I've been thinking about this a lot recently as I've started to become really disenchanted with games in general. Mostly RPG games. Western ones in particular, Baldur's Gate, Fable, Oblivion; they just seem to all have the same world and really boring combat systems. I mostly play them for...

Hey, thanks for the responses everyone. It seems that there's not really that much available of the sort of thing I have in mind, guess it's definitely more of a console thing - I suppose I could fire the old PS2 up. Apart from that Fallout 3 seems to be the one most people recommend, although...

OK, cool, I hadn't heard of Mount and Blade but it sounds like it's melee combat at least, I'll check it out Unfortunately a) I've already played them and b) They're only for PS2.

Hi, So I'm away from university on my ridiculously long holidays (I get 6 weeks, lol), and looking for a game to sink some time into. Or several games. Not so important though I'd rather not spend too much money. Here's what I'm looking for, in order of importance: On PC (req. specs...

Yes! I was just about to mention this game actually, but yeah. The only other guy I've met who's played it was the guy in the GAME where I bought my pre-owned copy. Amazing gameplay, never seen anything quite like it. Also is Touhou really a game series that no-one's heard of? It's pretty...

Actually, he was exploiting the game mechanics to do something that was technically legal, but actually made him incredibly overpowered and impossible to beat. Imagine how annoyed you'd be if you were constantly killed by someone who was more powerful than you and you could do nothing about it...

That's because this doctor is written by Russell T Davies, who would rather use half an hour of the show to form feeble emotional attachments to characters who will soon die and no-one cares about, create stupid and irritating flirty banter with 'spunky' female sidekicks and have the doctor get...

What you said is contradictive. The book, when it is read, becomes art, and the game, when you play it, becomes art, exactly in the way the painting, when it is looked at becomes art. I can see what you're trying to say, but actually in each case it is the experience which makes something...

The problem is that 'Art' is something that is in no way defined. I study Literature at University, and part of our first year course is 'What is Literature', which touches on the same ideas as 'What is Art'. No-one has of yet come up with satisfactory definitions of this, so attempting to use...
