"Ha! Maybe I should've added that you maintain free will (though you'll still be bound by the world you're in) ;)

I must say, Silent Hill would be a brilliant psychological experiement, I couldn't agree more! I was having a conversation with a guy on my blog earlier actually...he was saying that Silent Hill is one of the eeriest, atmospheric games he's ever played."

"@ Rachel Ah, I see...fair enough, would be an awesome collection :)

$100? You really do spend a lot of time there! Rightly so, too!"

"ave a question for Rachel actually...is that first picture (the one containing the spines of around 20 guides) a picture of your collection, or one you grabbed off the internet? I followed it back to Digital Hippo, where you also posted this article, but it was hosted on there so can't be sure. Only reason I ask is...well...it's an awesome collection! I'm especially loving the Devil May Cry and Star Wars: KOTOR 2 gui"

"y good point! I was only really playing it so I could say that I've played and completed it...maybe that was the wrong attitude to go in with? I stand by my verdict, but I wonder if it would have been different had I been in a different state of"

"Ha! Come now ;)

Without wanting to turn this into a chat thread, just wanted to say how great it is that Bitmob seems to be going really strong...I haven't so much as looked at the site since way back when we did our Halo 2 night (ages, right?). Glad to see you're all well and that the community has grown since then :)"

"I couldn't agree more!

I use the Turtle Beach X11's (an earlier, wired version) and I have found I have a significant advantage over others online. In CoD, for instance, most people lay Claymore's behind them to prevent people sneaking up the rear...with the Turtle Beaches though, there's no need...you can just hear the footsteps! I found the same with Halo 3, back when that was popular...you could hear the Overshield and Active Camo spawning from accross the map and, in MLG games (where the weapons fall from the air) even weapons spawning!

That may seem slightly hypocritical, that I'd support such a thing by owning a pair, but I just bought them so I could still have my games up loud at night...the advantage was a bonus. Now, of course, you have no advantage...you're simply at a DIS-advantage without them."

"I definitely agree with you as far as Call of Duty rip-offs...way too many games are going down that same linear route, and I do applaud Crytek for attempting something different.

I just felt I had to get this down on paper (for want of a better word), because I've seen so many glowing reviews for this game, yet I really couldn't get on with it. It's not for a lack of trying either, I played the  Campaign to completion, I played the multiplayer for a little while too...I certainly enjoyed the single-player much more! I just couldn't get on with it very well."

"@Sean...that's hilarious!

@Rachel...great article! A good point put accross in a great way...it's not quite as easy as that though over here in the UK :("

"Some glitches are epic!

 

The glitch in Oblivion were sweet...like the duplication glitch, and the glitch where stealing a golbin tribe's totem, and placing it in the cave of another goblin tribe, created a war of the goblins :)"

"Yeah, we rode it out in style, no one can deny us that! Although I was the only guy from the UK there :(

 

Still, I couldn't believe how quickly I got back into it! I used to play it competitively, but moved on to Halo 3 long ago...

 

Some very good games guys, was a hoot playing with you all..."
