I bought Advent Rising off Steam after hearing the main theme off of the VGL album, and was really disappointed. The only problem is that the ending is incredibly awesome and sparks so many questions that I'm aching for a sequel because I know AR2 will be so much better, but since it won't be made, I guess it can't be better.

I hate to admit this but I ACTUALLY enjoyed Enter the Matrix despite its buggy gameplay. I even finished it. lol

I friggin' loved The Great Giana Sisters! For me, the fact that it was such a blatant ripoff gave it an air of really wanting to be popular that I somehow found adorable. ...maybe I'm over thinking things...

Enter the Matrix really wasn't a hprrible game. 6/10. No worse.

I still do like State of Emergency, despite all it's flaws. There was something very cathartic about kicking the ever loving holy hell out people in a mall after working 10 hours in holiday retail.

Wow, this is such a great article. Its so nostalgic to think back on games like Red Faction, Daikatana, and Enter the Matrix. The stink of some of these turds may never go away. I actually went to go see Final Fantasy in theaters, I actually didn't think it was terrible. I loved cinematics in games, so this was just like candy for me.

Hey I now know who Blinx the Cat is. Thanks Gamesradar! I did rent Enter the Matrix on PS2 and played it twice. Each playthrough as a different character and hated it. The trailer at the end of the game, for the third movie, definitely was not worth the effort.

I haven't heard of most of these... Though The Great Giana Sisters did give me a laugh, how did they expect to get away with that?

I really like Fable. That may partially be because I hadn't really heard much of Molyneux's hype about it, and just liked it for what it was, rather than what it was supposed to be.

Am I the only one who actually LIKES QTEs? Yes, they're a cliche, but due to the amount of boring cutscenes it makes a change and a challenge, doesn't it?
