X-Men Origins: Wolverine2009

You know what gameplay mechanic I hate? Quck time events (QTE). The ones where they flash a series of buttons on the screen and you have less than a second to press each one, or you have to mash one button inhumanly fast. I've been playing video games for 15 years and I'm still completely unable to do these things. Maybe I'm defective; whatever, my point is they ruin games for me. God of War was one of the worst…

This game is very colorful and there are many exploding things. There's a lot of visual stimulus going on at all times. It's very pleasurable, even when the gameplay is frustratingly hard. I'm not very good at these types of games, and I don't think they're very fun. I want to compare it with the PSN games I've been playing lately. Stuff like Echochrome, PixelJunk Eden, fl0w. Those games are trying to be art, and I…

I just feel sorry for the developers. And when I say developers, I am not including Denis Dyack. That man deserves all the negative attention thrown at him, and more. But the rest of Silicon Knights are good, competent guys I'm sure, and their games aren't horrible despite having a horrible leader.
I don't care about trophies or achievements.

At least not in terms of wanting to earn them just for the sake of having them. I appreciate them when they add interesting goals that extend the life of the game. So I would go back and replay a game to earn trophies if they fit into that category. But I'm not going to put in a lot of time on something just to earn a meaningless notch on the belt. It's kinda weird because before I bought a PS3...

Please make less stupid mistakes when submitting content and information. Virtually every page I visit has some major grammatical fuckups and/or inaccurate/duplicated information. I don't think there exists enough people with enough patience to correct the sheer quantity of mistakes being submitted (and accepted by moderators which is another problem), so let's fix the problem at the source.
