It was pointed out in the article that this speed run relied on a few glitches to get it done. However, I am of the firm belief that if you have to rely on glitches to complete a game that can be beaten by a casual player then you really aren't playing the game at all. Yes, I'm aware it's a...

Advent Rising Granted, I only really tried to play it in the last month, I still have so many issues with that game. Here's a few: 1. Cut-scenes... more like jump-cuts. The game had a horrible habit of jumping from gameplay to a cut-scene without anything indicating how you got there...

I haven't even played the game yet, but watching a Let's Play of it I realized that that would be the whole reason I wouldn't play it. I can live with something breaking the immersion in the form of an on-screen tutorial, that's only momentary and not something you're left thinking about. Say...

Is it me, or did they cut out the star wars comments in the video? The entire section with the war preparations and all the star wars jokes is just gone. edit: forgot to finish that sentence.

Gah... I hit no, because I read the topic question and not the poll question. I thought it was along the lines of "Would you have ever come to The Escapist in the first place?". I wouldn't have found the Escapist if a friend hadn't shown me ZP. Would I have come if I just was googling gaming...

Not really. But I do take his reviews into account while playing to see if what he says has any basis. I actually had Psychonauts and more or less beat it (got to the part with the rising water and dodging dad's rockets on a tight-rope and kept messing up) long before I ever HEARD of Yahtzee...

Kingdom Hearts. I swear I know who I lent it to, but for some reason they said that they had returned it to me months before I had asked for it back. I really enjoyed that game, Phantom and Kurt Zisa were my favorite bosses in that game, and I had some bizarre Gummi Ship designs I really loved.

Ya know... I have to agree with that. Once you realize you're raising the little guys to be shipped off to a party and what they do with them AT a party you just feel dirty.

Really, anything that has a "history" behind it: Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a big one for me. The Trivia games made me feel so much like a nerd. I never looked stuff up to cheat, I always get one or two wrong, but the fact that I knew the answers. Example: Mac Gargan was paid by whom to...

I only ever saw a video of that area, and it made me realize how much dolls creep me out. It made me jump and all the hair on my back stand on end. For me any game where you get morality "choices". I am a chronic good guy. I feel so... wrong, for any evil decisions I make. I actually had...
