I'm looking for some new stuff to play, and this looks pretty cool!

I'll piggyback on your trivia. Everybody interprets Farenheit 451 as a book about government censorship and/or McCarthyism, but it was actually just about Bradbury's fear that television would cause people to stop reading.

I saw that quip in the post. Don't disrespect the original 80's cartoon. It ran original episodes from 1987 to 1996... yeah nearly 10 years. Also nobody knew who the turtles was prior to that show. It made the old films possible as well as the action figure line (possibly the best line in the history of action

We all know why you read that book in the first place, you wanted that game boy and free trading card.

My favorite video game books were the Drew Karpyshyn trilogy since he was just as important in the development of Mass Effect 1 and part of 2.

When Kei Lang showed up in 3 it was that much more of an impact due to the books.

Worlds of Power Castlevania II is bad, but I love it all the same. Ironically enough, I only read it twelve years ago.

The mother of all video game novels.

Other honorable mentions:

Modern Warfare 2's No Russian level. It's the first time playing a video game where I had to just pause and put my controller down for a few minutes and think about why I pressed the trigger when the others opened fire.

Only game ever that shook me a bit was a cutscene in Command and Conquer where you see the silhouette (through a frosted glass window, I think) of one man shooting another man tied to a chair in the head. A brutal, realistic depicition of an execution.

To this day I'm still surprised I made it out of that school level.

I wouldn't say it "disturbed" me, but House of the Dead: Overkill on Wii definitely turned me off. I realize they were trying to hit that "grindhouse" vibe, but it was such a ham-fisted attempt to do so that I just set it aside after an hour or so. It felt like a 12 year-old's idea of "mature" content, with naughty

Gore? Blood? That never disturbed me.

Far Cry 2 made me stop and pause the game for several minutes. I was sniping from a hill to take out an enemy outpost. I hit one guy in the leg, incapacitating him. I thought he would just crumple over like any other game enemy does after a few seconds, but then I saw another enemy run over to him and start to drag

First Deadspace was pretty grood at messing with my state of mind. Was always paranoid necromorphs were around the corner.

I will not be looking for any Easter eggs because I will skip this movie just like I skipped all the recent Transformer and GI Joe movies. I can't get over the character design; just my opinion.
