A lot of people will look back on TwitchPlaysPokemon as extremely annoying and utterly pointless, but I think it was a great experiment. Nothing else of its kind will be as big as it, at least I don't think. It showed that even a hundred thousand different people from all over the world can work together. I think it'd…

Your Granddad bought you fucking Phantasy Star IV? BEST PRESENT EVER! Your Granddad was a beast. I bet you miss him so much. I know I miss my Granddad, who was equally as cool (although he never bought me fucking Phantasy Star IV).

Yeah it's definitely Final Fantasy. I did enjoy XII a lot, but the rest since the PS1 days have just lost it for me. Although I have tried several times each I just can't bring myself to finish X or XIII.

I can relate to your story quite well Jason. As a kid I used to stay at my Grandparents house every Friday night, and every time I went I took my PlayStation. I burned through so many hours of Final Fantasy VII that my Granddad used to ask me if I wanted to take a break. Or have something to eat. Or blink. But all I…

Man, getting in to that place pissed me off. Although Full Throttle kicks ass it is a game that really pushed my patience.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis)

Take this back. Star Fox Adventures was awesome, man.

I did buy E.T. for my Atari 2600, but I simply had to. In fact I am in the habit of buying what is usually seen as the single, worst game ever made for each console I own. Sometimes games are so bad they demand being owned by a collector.

That was out of the blue.

"The story is not bland and boring, it's just that people like you don't take the time and patience to fully enjoy a game like that."

True. It's as if Japanese game critics are scared to throw anything but praise at the series.

Pretty much anything Final Fantasy-branded gets praise in Japan. It's as if the country has been indoctrinated by Square Enix. If you enjoyed the Final Fantasy XIII series then great on you, but I really didn't like them. And I'm not one of those who think JRPGs have gone off the boil either, because we've had some…

It's funny, because the biggest praise Mike levelled at the game was the combat system, yet I really don't like it at all. Maybe it's because I'm one of those who craves turn-based combat, but I've played plenty of JRPGs that weren't turn-based and still enjoyed them. The combat in Lighting Returns just feels like a…

I remember thoise days well.

Whenever I play a JRPG I get a distinct feeling, one that is unique to the genre because of the cultural differences between the east and west. I think a lot of others also feel the same way. Although an RPG is an RPG regardless of region, no WRPG feels quite like a JRPG, and vice versa. They each have their own…

I thought the part of the game when you played as her was the best part.

A sorry state indeed.

The only redeeming aspect of the entire game was Ellie. She was a great character. It was just a shame the rest of the game brought her down somewhat.

Apparently stringing together a tired old cliche of a story with decent voice acting, boring Hollywood inspired cinematic sequences and pretty graphics is all that's needed to received an award for innovation in the modern gaming world. It's sad, because games with true innovation are getting covered over by crap like…

It won an award for INNOVATION!!! Bloody hell. If The Last of US can win a award for innovation then I've lost all the remaining hope I had for gaming awards. It did literally NOTHING innovative in the slightest. If I was Media Molecule I'd be feeling sick right about now, because Tearaway kicked all ass last year in…
