    anyone realise how similar the THQ and Origin logo's are?

    True That. Just played Bastion for the first time today, going to take it home and play over Christmas, so far a fantastic title.

    Community Choice Game of the Year Showdown!

    Portal 2 Portal 2 gave you a concentrated burst of excellence that lasted me a good 10-12 hours. The single-player and mulit-player elements were both immensely enjoyable whilst they lasted and the robot characters left their mark on me. Skyrim's world leaves me feeling a bit disconnected -...

    Dark Souls Dark Souls; I've yet to complete it, and I've played it for 90 hours... I can't help but feel like LA Noire's ending was a bit of a buzzkiller, really didn't like the fact that it was completely on-rails (story wise) regardless of your success during missions.

    Portal 2 Portal 2. How can you even pit these two together? Even an MK fan has to really question their loyalty to that franchise being pitted up against one of the best single-player experiences of the last decade IMHO

    Dark Souls

    Fourkings seem to spawn pretty far away from where you start out in the abyss. Is my running speed not going to be a problem? They attack with magic which is heavily damaging and pierces most defences, so I guess all the defensive help you can legitimately get your hands on is needed. The...

    Dark Souls

    I've got Iron Flesh, I'm going to have to get my hands on some magic greatbows or Great Heavy Soul Arrows then I guess? You have to kill more than four kings dont you? I dont want to cheaply kill anything, I heard you could get cheap kills on the hyrda in the ash lake by running past it and...

    Most difficult games you've played

    I'm suprised no-one mentioned the Devil May Cry series, it was challenging, but not supremely difficult. Ikaruga is a really hard game, but enjoyable if you like shooters. Dark Souls which I'm still playing now is intensely difficult at times, bossfights in particular can be really...

    Video Game Magazines...yes they still exist!

    I used to buy Powerstation - a magazine devoted entirely to cheatcodes! And sometimes I'd read the wallkthroughs for games with pictures because it was kind of like an advanced review of the game... I bought a couple of games because I did this - it's pretty wierd thinking about it now. Also...

    Dark Souls

    Still haven't beaten four kings... I got beatdown badly and ran away with my tail between my legs... I've since beaten the dukes archives and explored the crystal cave (fuck that place man...) beat the catacombs and went to the land of the giants for about a minute before i decided it might be...

    What are ya playing?

    This game is almost perfectly made (whether through design, or accident) to be played one episode a night. Each episode will do you for an evening, then a little credits roll will wind you out of the episode and you can turn off the Xbox and have a little ponder about the plot before bedtime...
