I use Firefox with Adblock Plus. On the rare occasion that I watch a YouTube video on Chrome or another such browser, I just mute my sound and look at something else for a few seconds. YouTube ads have stopped bothering me. And part of the reason I did this was because I hated YouTube ads in...

I love Risk, but it's hard to enjoy with just three people. Really hard. I've played some Puerto Rico and it's a really fun game. The only problem is that sometimes it feels like it's over too quickly (not really a flaw, though) and that it didn't seem to me to have a lot of strategic depth...

I bought Deadly Premonition expecting it to suck. Played it with some friends so we'd have something to laugh at together. At this point it's somehow one of my favorite games. Ever. Yeah...

This thread needs some Schubert: I'll also be glad to mention that Stravinsky can be pretty awesome: I also second everybody who mentioned Rhapsody in Blue, especially if you like jazz and jazzy things. As far as more soundtracky stuff goes, I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the...

Dancing with the Moonlit Night. It's about Britannia of old. I'm American. This will be interesting.

I have very little money and a computer that couldn't handle it. Luckily I have Morrowind, and Oblivion is only a little upgrade away from being playable. And considering the length of these games and the many others I have lined up, I probably won't get around to Skyrim until Elder Scrolls 7...

Chrono Trigger for sure. It is incredibly consistent, and manages to strike a nice balance between diversity and a recognizable style. I am also a bit of a whore for 16-bit music in general... Which is ironic, given that my other favorite soundtracks are those for Shadow of the Colossus and...

I want an "it depends" option. Because having rape in a game may not be going too far, but allowing the player to rape would definitely too much. The reason I don't draw the line at mass murder is that it is possible to think of situations in which killing may be justifiable. But rape? No. Not...

Saw a newspost about that somewhere on the internets the other day, and yeah that cover is kind of awesome. Dude'll get cold, though, without his clothes.

Question for OP: What games do you dislike, and does your disliking of them make you a hater? Also, I'm a little peeved at one thing in this list I haven't seen anyone bring up yet (forgive me if I missed your post): the idea that refusing to play multiplayer games makes you a hater. I mean...

Let's see: Shadow of the Colossus has rather awful camera controls. Ocarina of Time has a rather sparse main field and a cliche story and can get rather repetitive, and hasn't really aged all that well. Metal Gear Solid needs very little explanation: silly plot, silly characters, dated (hell...

I am rather surprised that nobody seems to have mentioned the Ice Cap Zone yet. What a travesty. It's absolutely gorgeous. The two versions are pretty similar, but I think I prefer the Act 2 mix slightly more: Other than that? I dunno. The first ones that come to mind are Starlight Zone and...

So, basically... Haters gonna hate? It does make me kinda sad that the Metallica fans here are behaving like stereotypical metal fans--violent and angry and stupid. I know metal fans who aren't this way (hell, I don't know any who are), and am kinda pissed that these sorts of idiots make the...

I just re-read your article with this in mind, and I have decided that I tend to agree with your thoughts on what games can be, but think you're over-generalizing when it comes to what they are. The thing is, there certainly are some games that deserve the criticisms you gave here (hell, most of...
