I was travelling alone in Barcelona. I had planned to take a train to the pyranees. The first time I tried, I went two hours in the opposite direction. The next day, I got one stop away from my destination, but it was the last stop, and would have to wait 5 hours for the next train, or take the...

Playing on xbox Live, on some games when you get close to an enemy they can hear your voice. I always love to whisper, "Turn around," like from predator. Either that or, "Want some candy?" Then BOOM!

"...Like butter.." as I slowly pushed my sword through his chest. "Say hi to Jackson for me.." before pulling the trigger.

Oh I agree, though it wasn't the "Gamers like freedom" statement that bothered me. It was this bit: I'm just saying...it's probably best for you not to speak so boldly on behalf of the gaming public. A more tactile wording would be best. I understand that you can't appeal to everyone when...

I was employed as a Self Defense Consultant a couple of years back, and used to teach Go-Kan-Ryu Karate, both to the public and those on an instructors course. Before that, however, I've done shotokan karate, kickboxing, and wing chun. I'm currently still practising karate, as well as...

A bad start I think. Making a sweeping generalisation on behalf of all gamers is a touch arrogant. Take the Metal Gear Solid franchise as an example to counter your statement. Other than that, I thought your review was good.

Aliens vs. Predator! Playing as a Marine was shit-your-pants scary. I've played all the supposedly scary games, but this is the only one that actually scared me. I actually just wanted to walk through a level and NOT encounter any aliens.

Lol! I love the idea that someone has mistaken the meaning of tea time! "Dude I have to go, it's tea time." - goes off, joins the family at the table and sits there in silence while they drink tea. Though tea is so awesome that it probably should have its own alloted time. Tea time =...

On a side note, whenever I played Splinter Cell - Pandora Tommorow online, I got so into it, my heart pounding whenever sneaking up on someone, that I would get an adrenaline rush. I always wondered whether or not I kept playing the game for so long because it was fun, or because my body was...

The perk is that you get to be an evil bastard. Isn't that perk enough? I tried being good. But as soon as I was in the virtual reality world, I just couldn't resist doing the little girls bidding and slaughtering the lot of 'em. Oh, and before that, I couldn't resist blowing the shit out of...

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Most games last only a few days if you're lucky, and this game's no different. Once you've mastered micro-managing your character, which doesn't take long, it can get kind of stale. I'm looking forward to the expansions, though I'm also miffed that they weren't...

Outcast!!! An absolutely superb game that receieved little notoriety despite fantastic praise from reviewers. Way ahead of its time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcast_(game)

I've been playing Sims 3 all weekend. Man it's addictive! Awesome game, absolutely loving it. It's so nice to not be running around shooting zombies or aliens for a change. Or playing Empire:Total war for six hours straight, and then loading it up the next day to find my saved games are all...

Wanted: Weapons of Fate. Aside from the fact that the main character is a complete douchbag throughout both the movie and the game...did he really need to piss on the guy at the end? Also, although Assassin's Creed is a sweet game, the ending sucked balls.

I agree with you wgreer25. In fact I think you're being generous. I rarely bother posting about games or movies. My opinion is my own and I usually keep it that way (mainly out of sheer laziness). But the fact that this game got such high scores is what really pissed me off. I bought it under...
