Alter Ego. I tried to play it as true to life as I could, to see if I could use it to predict my future. So anyway, that failed.

Yeah, it would have been nicer to have a few more environmental kills (not including the tears). A lot of the time the combat was so frantic I only managed to notice the pools of water once I'd...

I'm surprised so many find the combat mediocre. As Airtekh mentions, there is a dynamism to it, and it felt fast and frantic to me, with lots of options in the areas. I think that aspect of it fell...

Just finished this. I thought it was spectacular. With the previous Bioshock, I was always much more enamoured by the idea of it rather than the end product itself. I thought the concept and...

I agree I see little point in someone wandering into, say, a WoW forum just to say they think WoW sucks.

I have mixed feelings about mmorpgs. I rarely play them now (currently in and out of GW2...

Going out of the way to say why you don't like mmo's seems like the point of this topic, though.

I find the progress bars on my Kindle create a degree of pressure I was unused to with traditional reading. It's all a bit distracting.

While I have no particular qualms about the idea of online functionality being added to games, and can imagine them enhancing games, the fact that, for now, any actual benefits are shackled to the...

I'm enjoying it so far (not too far into it) - it's definitely got an Uncharted vibe and I'm getting the feeling that large scale puzzling is likely to be off the menu (not sure though, as I haven't...

I'm still hoping for a hot seat league/tournament mode of some sorts, but it never seems too likely.

Yeah, I remember playing through some of the single player with the bots, and also a couple of LAN games with my uni house mates at the time, which were fine, but online was just something else. The...

Hmmm...

Fallout 1 and 2: They just passed me by, I think a friend once showed me fallout 2, but it didn't grab me at the time. I've since thought about playing through them now, but in reality...

I'm looking forward to trying this out, but I'm assuming, sadly, that I'm likely to be disappointed. My favourite Sim City is 2000, and I'd really hoped for a nice looking version of that with the...

True, sorry!

But this in itself seems a bit limiting. For instance - If I say X is a good example of a game, and you don't believe X is a game, by your criteria, then for you my entire statement collapses. It...

The problem I'm seeing there though is that while the frivolous, lite definition offers little use, I find that's often true of attempting a concrete absolute definition of what constitutes a Game as...

I don't get much value out of judging something by the box it's being put in. If I've 'played' (if we'll allow the terminology) Dear Ester, then you judge it on what you've experienced surely. You...

As a side note, I think I understand some of the sourness in your posts a little better now :-)

Yes, debate and discussion is good, but it does seem to degenerate into name calling sometimes, which sometimes interferes with actual the cogent points/ being made (often by both sides). It's kind...
