Beautiful art just like in Noitu Love 2 but... NL2 just wasn't that good. It made me go clickety click more times than Diablo and the combat never gave enough room for the depth mechanics had. Then again I may have judged it too early.

If Doom 3 came in 2004 and F.E.A.R. came in 2005 how does that make seven years?

No Wind Waker easter egg yet? :(

Yeah I thought so as well. Valkyria Chronicles' art-style always reminded me of the brilliant aquarelle paintings in the Nausicaä books.

Though it's probably the best IP for a game in the Ghibli library, it's also the least likely of them all to be made into a game.

The trick in getting past the guards there was that everyone who was sitting in that place was asleep. Once I figured that out it wasn't that hard. There were like ten different routes you could use to go through it. IIRC I ghosted through it.

Okay some of those are horrible but a couple of them are, though probably accidentally, awesome. That stoned panda-cake is just hilarious and that brown bear is way better than the generic and boring original.

I think at RPS they said that if you leave a guard unconscious and a group of rats happens to eat him it counts as a kill in the chaos system.

Well Bioshock does have stealth elements.

Sorry but Witcher 2 and Metro 2033 are pretty much the most demanding games after Crysis. Metro 2033 is notorious for running quite badly even on high end pc's. I mean they use it as a benchmark in testing new hardware and it's rare to see any card being able to run it past 40 fps.
