Portal 2, Modern Warfare 2 and Braid

It was years ahead of its time [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_kane#Filmmaking_innovations]. It really is quite hard to believe such a technically proficient film was made in 1941. I've only seen it once, but I really liked it. It's quite obvious to me why it's considered a masterpiece...

I don't think two films in 5 years constitutes as "milking". I mean, it's hardly comparable to Dreamworks' shenanigans with Shrek and Madagascar. But still, Cars was indeed mediocre at best. Certainly the worst Pixar film. I'd expect Dreamworks to queef something like that out, but not Pixar...

In Payload maps in TF2, as a Demoman there've been a few times where I've single-handedly taken out a massive barricade of enemy turrets, teleporters etc. with a few well-placed grenades, and then my team has plowed through the rest of the map to win in less than a minute. And whenever that...

I don't especially enjoy sitting around stewing in my own filth. I make sure to have a shower first thing in the morning, every morning. No matter what.

I'm really digging Build A Rocket Boys! by Elbow at the moment. Specifically the opening track 'The Birds'. Can't get enough of it.

1. Doom (or Doom 2) 2. Half-Life 3. Super Mario World 4. Final Fantasy VII 5. Grand Theft Auto (any)

It's a decent remix, but do we actually have confirmation that this is from Sonic Generations and not, as I suspect, someone just using it as an excuse to plug their own work? I mean, going from your username and the video, it seems you're the guy's manager. And if this was being used in the...

Half-Life 2 is my favourite game of all time... but the AI is pretty bad. Combine soldiers will often just stand still and let you shoot them in the face.

Mine is a few years old now. It still holds its own, but I'll be gagging for an upgrade by this time next year. CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @ 3.2GHz RAM: 4GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-1066 GPU: GeForce 9800GTX+ Motherboard: ASUS P5QL PSU: Corsair TX750 Primary Hard Drive: 640GB Western Digital...

I always remember the Shadow Temple being the hardest. Although everyone seems to think the water temple was the hardest, I never had much of a problem with it. I mean, it's not easy, but it's by no means the nightmare everyone makes it out to be.

I liked Call of Duty 4, but after that... no. Every release since then has been pretty much the same game copied and pasted into a different setting, with a price tag higher than any other game on the shelf. The single-player campaigns are all flash and no substance. Five hours of "Follow NPC...

Burnout Paradise for £2.50. Thanks Amazon.

I'm in the process of building a small mining settlement. Has an armory (complete with security door), a dock, a furnace, a toolshed, and I've just finished building a lighthouse on a cliff by the coast. I'm planning on building several different kinds of settlements and locations dotted...

Crysis is still the one to beat, with The Witcher 2 not very far behind. The premium cars in Gran Turismo 5 look spectactular, but everything else ranges from bad to average.
