All the Pokemon games that count, as well as of the Halo trilogy.

Would do Half-Life, but am too scared of Antlions (which are becoming a bit of an obsession by now.)

I can't get to the bit on page 5 because I'm too scared of Antlions. Now I feel a bit left out.

I liked Gravemind. He was amongst my 3 favorite characters in the Halo trilogy.

Why 3D is the new HD
The only thing I'm worried about is it making Antlions even MORE scary.

Dear god, I can just imagine it: `Valve presents: Half-Life: Scary Scary Mandibles in 3-D`. Shiver.

59 levels to play before you die: S - Z
I'm surprised you've left out the Tanker Level in MGS 2.

PlayStation 2 (PS2): E-rated games that are evil
Mr. Akkronym, perhaps the mighty industry o'gaming is legitimate, but pluralising `wordz` with a z is not.

Top 20 Overlooked Game Babes
Alyx Vance is OVERLOOKED? The only reasons I'm not in there are:

a) The age difference that slides from `he likes the more mature lady` to `creepy`.

b) The fact she does not exist.

c) Two words, one beginning with G.

QOTW: What's the angriest you've been at a game?
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance.

My family and I were just about to go to a food festival (multiple cheese = I'm there.), and we were just about to set off when a cutscene started on MGS2, which I was playing at the time.

After trying to skip it (seriously, WHERE IS THE SKIP BUTTON?) for a while, I reasoned that it would only last a couple of minutes.

After 5 minutes, the bomb disposal guy was delving into his psyche through the international language of photo montages, and in the background I swear I could hear glaciers moving, my life gradually ticking away, and Raiden slowly beginning to weep. Dad came up, because he was getting a little worried. I silently yearned for the Tanker level, where the cutscenes longer than 5 minutes had the excuse of being ever so badass.

Dad slowly got angrier. I got more and more humiliated by the whole debacle. Bomb disposal guy was talking about cologne, or something. My mind slowly tried to gnaw parts of itself off in a futile escape attempt in the manner of a trapped coyote. I snapped, turned it off, went into the sunlight and enjoyed the food festival. And what was the reward I got for having to sit through that cutscene again?

I'm still blooming well stuck.

How Hollywood will ruin your favourite games
One of the funniest things I've read all day.

One question though:
Apart from Chuck Norris, who WOULD play Solid Snake?

QOTW: What game are you most ashamed you never beat?
Whilst not technically the FINAL boss...

As any fule kno, in Pokemon Silver (spoiler) Lance is the Elite Four Champion, essentially Cynthia with more dragons, and only slightly less badass than that sounds.

At a young age, I was on Lance's LAST POKEMON when it transpired that I had broken a lampshade or something in the fury of the battle, and was forced to turn it off without saving, and give it back to the friend I had borrowed it off. A little part of me died that day.

Since then I have beaten the Champion (breaking both of your rules - sorry.), but I always resent not doing it the first time.

QOTW: What game do you always go back to?
I generally fall back upon the Pokemon franchise every couple of years - I was a Pokemon Silver obsessive four years or so ago, and recently for some reason felt industrial strength nostalgia for Pokemon Silver for almost everything.
