This is a really fantastic article on gaming addicition http://www.cracked.com/article_18461_5-creepy-ways-video-games-are-trying-to-get-you-addicted.html It's all stuff we probably realise anyway but it doesn't stop us being addicted nonetheless!

Also what a lead performance Sharlto Copley. Watching him turn as a bumbling, goofy sweetheart to the broken mess he becomes as his life spirals out of control is utterly convincing!

Even if you don't like it, you can't deny it has some of the coolest weapons in a film ever!

what are the worst?

I think of all the problems you can have with a game, this is one you can't direct at Modern Warfare 2.

I agree with Teddy entirely. It's not the games fault they've changed, it's the fact that the current generation of gamers want different things from their games. I think the only games I've played recently that keep the spirit of that golden era of gaming you describe is Okami, and Katamari.

I'm not really too bothered about the plot holes. They obviously sat down as writers and thought "how can we justify helicopters falling out the sky around you?" and went from there. That's OK in my book :D

ha, what was 2009 if it wasn't year of the sequel?

I'm riding the 'brand new awe inspiring original Nintendo IP' flying pig. It's awfully lonely up here!

I did get well addicted to speedrunning Super Metroid on the SNES. It's like an art form! Best game to replay for 100% was Goldeneye N64. Had to complete the levels in increasingly difficult and ridiculous times, but each time you did one you got a cheat! Very addicitive!

Oh dear, I got all the intel on COD4 and didn't realise it unlocked cheats!! What a doughnut.

I'm a completist, so 100% for me. With games like GTA, I will attempt 100% until it becomes a chore to boot up the game anymore. Some games are just too big, and by the time I'm bored with playing them there's usually a new game out.

Oh my days, they are amazing! Bought the first four volumes. Violent, funny, amazing characters, well drawn, brilliantly scripted and thought provoking. Can anyone recommend me some other good series? I'm fairly new to the comic book thing so feel free to talk to me like I'm a simpleton :)

I'm not sure why people hate on PC gamers, but whatever the reason is THEY STARTED IT :P

Whenever I feel like I'm getting cross with a next gen game, I think back to my NES days where if you ran out of lives you were back to level 1! Games I remember in this light are Battletoads and Jurassic Park.
