The scare of RE came from the survival, not the terror. It was the unnerving tenseness of knowing something will show up, and back in the days when they paced RE well, it was the times when nothing happened that scared you even more. Look at a game like Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Everyone has...

If you enjoy horror, terror, and shitting yourself as Alma walks towards you, don't buy this game. If you like co-op, teleport-y possessions while your buddy does slow mo 'killeveryoneinthefuckingroom' and getting scored on it while weird shit pops up for a brief moment in between killing...

Except good storytelling doesn't make art. I won't say I wasn't engaged by the story. But any further exploration of the story shows it as pretty meager. Also most of the games mentioned are all 18+ or 17+. It's irrelevant. High school language courses consistently review R rated movies.

SotC had one of the most tragic moments I experienced in all my years of video games, when Aggro does that thing that he does. (I don't know how to put spoiler tags) It's an example of how video games can tell something differently than a game like Mass Effect. That is an important concept...

You have three different kinds of weapons. Reflectors (shield), beads (whip), and swords held exactly like that screen. One of the bosses and characters in the storyline is a wolf who uses a sword just like Amaterasu's.

Doooo itttt. Such a good game. Really didn't get the credit it deserved. Best 45 hour 15 dollar buy you can get. But do the PS2 version, it's better than on Wii.

*cough*happenedinOkami*cough* This looks good, but really isn't original. EDIT: OP, anything from SotC. The final colossus versus a wolf. My bets are on the ancient-laser-missle-firing-tower-machine thing with arms.

Except for games like Rage. They're starting to do it more with day-1 drm even for consoles. Most consoles require an internet connection to work nowadays. I miss playing my ps2 where I could plug it in while being in a car and play with no drm on a modded ps2 playing import games. The bigger...

Mirror's Edge never did that. You rarely saw her, and even then most of the focus was on her face. She was a toned, fit but not sexualized character in free moving clothes. There wasn't a hint of sex appeal to her until the fan crowd added it. Also had a powerful but not butch lead who was...

And you don't even need to go that far. Fatal Frame 1 and 2. You play a helpless female character. And it works. So well. The fact that you're crippled in the second one makes it even more terrifying trying to run away from enemies. Contrast this with SH: Origins where you are again a (slightly...

In the fronts and the backs. Locks are required for line ins and they support the props in a scrum. These guys are usually 5'10 and up and really lanky, cause they need to be lifted into the air and they need to swat a ball out of the air. In the back it matters only that you are fast. Backs...

Good game, no. Terrible game, Brutal Legend. Halo Wars. RTS on console doesn't work. Period.

This. Thought it would be short, 12 hours tops. 47 hours later...

Point Man. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
