Oh, man, Hitman 1 was soo frustrating, dear god. The newest one is so versatile, though, that you don't really get frustrated (see Spaff's tip). I wonder why they took the occasional save point away from the hardest difficulty level :/ I thought that was rather smart in Hitman 2.

I always get myself and Tim Schafer mixed up.

Oh man, many games like that, can't think of a single one.

Is 400 000 a small amount? Maybe Sony realized it won't sell at that price

I liked the gore in that scene Yeah, the ending was nice and bleak. I didn't expect it at all, it was great to notice the fog didn't go anywhere when they drove away.

Yeah, sure, but that makes him seem... not quite unstoppable.

More like gave it an off-hand effort, but quickly stopped trying.

I bet he meant Giger.

Relentlessly? He didn't seem to put any effort into it. The guy moves so slowly the darkness is over before he can really try to catch you. But yeah, the concept is good, I just felt the execution was very lacking. Still, when he does Anna in is very effective. In that scene he seems sadistic and menacing and cool, but the rest.. meh.

Maybe I'm just tired of scary little girls after playing oodles of FEAR.

He isn't very... active, is he? He messes up a door and at one point works up enough energy to kill a person, but other than that he mostly walks around very slowly. These things may work in games, but the head and the sword just look silly.

Hey, it's not like Idle Thumbs needs content.

Saw it a couple of days ago... It was ok, but not good. Visually it's very nice, especially the dark moments. Music was very good too. However, the acting fails to impress, characters do not act like real people, the plot is weak... Most of the time the movie completely fails to be scary, although there are 2 or 3 scenes that were pretty impressive and some shocking moments (razorwire boy, Pyramid Head's trick to Anna, the nurses). Most of the creatures just look silly. Pyramid Head doesn't even really seem threatening. I've never played the games. Well, I liked the ending at least.

Red Steel didn't seem so bad.. The guy keeps saying he's too close to the screen and that throws off the aiming.

The most complete tour of wee ever. Yeah, I'm sorry, but

I think it's obviously art, there's really no question about it. It's merit can be debated, although I think it's originality sets it far, far above a black velvet painting of Elvis. But yeah, it's not a game.

I've always thought of Romero as a useless blowhard. Maybe it's because Daikatana was released at a time when I started to think about who specifically is behind the games I play and such.

Is he still a dick?

I like Black Velvet. I think Black Velvet is art.

Having a cat is what taught me about survival of the fittest.

Lost the damn auction

Well, you or I would not feel much afterwards, but it must've been awfully embarrassing.

It is, though.

Only seen Solaris and Stalker myself

You're a very strange person, you know that?
