hybrid616: Meryl's position as a damsel in distress in MGS1 kinda takes away from her chances I think. She's not tasteless per se, it just feels to me like she lacks the independence of the other names on the list.
Plus, she was the vessel through which Mantis tried to kill Snake (twice). And she kinda worships Snake in MGS1, and there are certainly some brownnosey moments in MGS4

I must agree with the statement about the Korean MMOs, but this looks pretty sweet.

I just realized how impossible it would be to play that portable Gamecube, because of the awkward shape makes it incredibly challenging to hold.

I saw some images of a guy that moded his PS1 into a form incredibly similar to the N64 handheld mod on the 3rd page. It outdoes the PSP and PSP Go, because it has two nubs.

maybe I'm just the only guy that's not a sadist, but why is it important that you are able to PUNCH PEOPLE'S TORSOS AWAY FROM THEIR LEGS?!?!

yea, it does seem a little bit like the Mirror's Edge movements, but I didn't like the lack of colors in that game (where's the green?)

Stephen Hawking?? He already is part robot.
And Mecha-Bush would be lame. Mecha-Cheney, however, would provide for a great character for a betrayal plot-twist.
Cheney's on your side, but wait...BAM!! He's really a Robot and just shot you in the Face.

Brasil is possibly the oddest movie I have even partially seen, let alone seen at all. Friggin baby-faced abomination things.

Thank you, overly-anxious pre-ordering.

I'm pretty sure she's been announced for SFIV

I guess there are no Asian women because it's a tribute to Leipzig and not TGS. Hmm. (that's funny to me)
@ToddyJ - that's a good question.

I can't say it's better than COD4, having only played COD4 once, but it is a great game.
@snoop323: Zombie mode is essentially, like they said, a survival mode. The zombies come in waves (rounds), and your job is to not die. As I understand it, there's no definite end, although I doubt they programmers put in too many levels, because no one wants to play Zombie Survival for 8,000 rounds.

I will agree that the character of Gordon Freeman is ridiculously immersive, to the point where (aside from box art) he is not seen - no surface is reflective enough to see more than just a non-descript human form, and one cannot see his legs when looking down. However, he is not a strong personality (as it has been said many times above). Gordon is merely a vessel through which Valve tells their story, allowing the player to experience this firsthand. Blah, blah, blah, regurgitate the article. Gordon cannot stand alone, and unlike Metal Gear Anything, HL2 could never be a movie.

Now that I've said ideas previously stated...
"Visceral" is the wrong way to describe the rag-doll overload that is the supercharged Gravity Gun segments of the game. It is not deep, it dismembers no one (or the PS3 Orange Box got hosed really bad). Sure, while it removes the smart gameplay from the previous chapters in the game (one gun, and it kills everything), and the feeling can be revenge, but these latter two definitions are most likely not what the writer meant. I believe that brutal would work work alone, or possibly adding bombastic, god-like, or even rag-doll-tastic (not a real word).

I'm just fed up with the use of Visceral. It's a great way to say gory, it even sounds cool, but it's not always appropriate.
