At least that chick isn't reviewing it this time.
Actually I take that back. Even Ms Gibson did a better job than this plonker. I usually hold Eurogamer in high regard too.
It probably had one of the best soundtracks ever featured in a video game. A bold statement perhaps, but I stick by it. Have a bubble for your exceptional taste.
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
Exactly. No matter how well in he is with the fans, Pyramid Head should have only ever featured in one game (2 obviously). How hard is it for developers to understand that, as a manifestation of every negative emotion unique to the character of James Sunderland, he can only appear in that certain context.
There are no end of examples you could give of great game environments. Some games are even defined by their environments and in my honest opinion have the ability to make or break a gaming experience. It's why I'm always left agast by certain games (that shalll go unnamed) that can't seem to break free from the deplorable brown/grey colour scheme that has become a sticking point with so many recently.
Some of my favourites...
ICO - The Cas...
Rappers do.
every new installment of Silent Hill ever since The Room dropped the ball all those years ago. But I loved every minute of Shattered Memories and I've got high hopes for this new one.
Geez, a whopping 8 minutes of footage. Give the poor guy a chance.
Edit - Screwed up my reply, soz.
Irresistible good looks.
when Otacon cries.
In all seriousness though, I think his actor is contractually obligated to cry in every game he's in.
Seek it out.
that Heavy Rain was a "close second"?
When playable character Glas gets his arm sliced off with a samurai sword by the main villain. Pretty shocking stuff.
Yakuza
I know the game is a load of claptrap but it's gathered enough comparisons to other games I really like to pique my interest. If it goes for the same ultra-cheap price here like it did in the US I'll get it day one. Preferably on the PS3.
Oh, it's the joke flying completely over your head.
Can nay argue with that.
I'm not spending stupid dollars and silly cents on a piece of equipment that makes me look like a spastic.
Pfft, what do they know.
(but not really).
You can level any criticism you want at Bush and it's probably well justified. But at least the guy was fuckin' funny! He could look at the camera with that vacant gormless stare of his and even that was enough to make me wipe the tears from my eyes. In a weird way, I kinda miss him and his Bushims. He was endlessly quotable.
