Ha ha, second time I've been asked this. Yes it's not really a 'finishable' game as such but if I recall I got all the achievements and completed all given objectives 2 or 3 times over. That's still pretty impressive. There are a couple of those achievements, like reaching 5,000m and getting the Pr...

If I may ask, what do you consider "completing" this game?

I recently 100%'d Super Mario Galaxy 2. It was certainly surprising when, out of nowhere, Nintendo doubled the number of stars in each level with the green star challenges. I really liked these challenges, though. I was fairly familiar with each level by that point, so I really had to think "if...

I'm having a hard time deciding whether to pick this up for 360 or PS3. I generally like playing on PS3 more than 360 because the interface is nicer, I think it looks a bit better, the fan is infinitely quieter, and it's generally a more pleasant experience, but my rule used to be that anything that...

It has seemed much more prominent with Skyrim than most other games though. With most initially well received games which have gotten a backlash the majority of people still talk favourably about it, while a smaller counter culture bubbles up every now and then. But with Skyrim it seems that it's a...

As a big Lost fan (I'm not talking about the ending) it was nice to be back on that island a few years after the show had finished and meeting the characters again. It's terrible but if you like lost there's enough to love here to justify getting it. I have a copy if anyone wants to try it. Easy 10...

Increasingly so over the past few months, I have been absolutely enamored with Arjen Anthony Lucassen's 2012 album Lost in the New Real. It is extraordinarily difficult to describe, but I will do my best. Mr. Lucassen is a virtuoso singer, musician, and songwriter. He plays almost every instrument o...

Are there games in your collection that you love not in spite of but because of their poor quality? Do you find yourself buying into fanservice a bit too readily? What games do you play that you'd wish no one else would ever know about? I like to think of myself as a rather mature individual, but I,...

I would also be interested to hear a retrospective look at Kameo: Elements of Power. As we're entering a new console generation, I've looked back at the launch titles of the previous, and one of the conclusions that I've come to is that even though Kameo tends to be a rather forgotten title (fairly ...

Psychonauts remains one of my absolute favorite games, and is one that continues to change every time I play it. While it is easy now, after many playthroughs, to praise the game for its inventive art direction and hilarious characters, I should say that, initially, the game's world came across as b...

I'm not sure if they've been mentioned here before, but I've been very interested in the Zero Escape games (999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors and Virtue's Last Reward). They have a very unique storytelling method and give surprisingly tense gameplay to what are essentially visual novels with escape t...

I had a great time with it (as I said above), but my biggest problem was its shift in perspective (pretty heavily towards the end) away from telling the story through environmental clues to narrated letters addressed to our character. It's a show vs. tell re-balancing that, while it creates an effec...

I bought a Vita a few months ago, mostly to play through some of PS+'s stronger titles (Virtue's Last Reward and Gravity Rush). So far, I have been very pleased with the system. While I would advise anyone in the market for their first handheld to pick up a 3DS instead due to its more diverse and ro...

The Deadly Premonition issue of the podcast was interesting, although it was a shame no one recording had watched through Twin Peaks. When I was playing DP, I was watching through Twin Peaks at the same time and it really helped my playthrough. In a way, both taught me how to "read" the ot...

This is an interesting title that was released today on Steam. I'm interested to hear everyone else's thoughts on it.

If you're curious, I have written a piece about it for my gaming blog.
