Kudos for his accomplishment, but that's a severely unhealthy thing to be doing to yourself. Exhaustion from extremely long gaming sessions can really be damaging, sometimes causing death. I don't think 38 hours is nearing the fatal requirements but this is not something I would do more than...

My expectations are relatively high. This franchise has been around for a while now and has proven its game mechanics to be almost as unique as its setting. The ship aspect of the game looks like a lot of fun, and the pirate ship battles look amazing.

These days I don't spend much time on the PS3 in comparison to everyone else here, but I think I'm spending a lot of time on GTA V considering it's at my friend's house. In the past week or so I've just been aimlessly roaming and slaughtering cops for about 3 hours a night (my friend enjoys...

Put me in the relatively-surprised category. I feel like I remember reading something that said the 360 was leading sales for all consoles for September, but that feeling is vague. In any case, Nintendo won't be enjoying success like this for a while once the XB1 and PS4 hit the shelves.

My best friend had one for his PS2. In comparison to today's motion capture technology, the games are pretty junk. But back then it seemed kind of ahead of its time.

It's one of the most purely strange games I've encountered. I read the back of my friend's disk case, which didn't really explain much. I had to watch him play the game just to see what it truly has to offer. I was reasonably impressed at the cut scenes. The feel was kind of off-putting but...

I scream more in the opposite direction. Failing consistently at one specific moment can really catch my nerves. When I complete something that has been bothering me, a fist pump and a flipping of the bird usually suffices.

Kind of makes you wonder why Xbox One would even bother with its 5-minutes-at-a-time capability. I thought 15 minutes was good, it was still better than Microsoft. But unlimited? Now we're talking.

The air of excitement is so thick you can cut it with a knife. I'm oozing with anticipation! Although, you'll have to excuse me as I pilot my enthusiasm towards the PS3 release of Beyond: Two Souls. I'm not quite ready to move to the new generation just yet!

Sephiroth is a good choice. But I have to give it up to my man Bowser, the king Koopa who really is more selfish than evil. Hopefully his character in the new Smash Bros will reflect his greatness more than his last two incarnations.

The soundtrack for Heavy Rain is a favorite of mine, setting the atmosphere in nearly every scene. As the tense and alarming music plays, you feel much more compelled to finish the task at hand with great speed. The orchestral accents play a much bigger role in the game's feel than most music...

I think they used the exact same font as Xbox One. Kind of surprising, there's so much they could have done to make it look different. But it just looks like a Windows interface.

Call of Duty has that familiarity appeal, Battlefield not so much. In any case, I probably won't be playing either. CoD: Ghosts for me.

I want more cinematic games. In other words, give money to Quantic Dream so they can come out with games more often. I love the idea of games that are like interactive movies; games with a ton of emotional depth, well-written stories, and highly original gameplay.

I'm okay at driving games. It seems the more they refuse to conform to reality, the better I perform. Mario Kart and Burnout are excellent examples of games I am decent at. Needless to say, I don't drive in real life.

I get gamer-mad, but I don't let it affect me in real life. Because it's never real; it's always just a game. I can never take it seriously unless I were playing for money.

I think you misinterpreted what he said. The quote is very much out of context. He makes it abundantly clear that they are using all the hardware ("You're always using 100% of the hardware") -- not necessarily saying they are using it to its full potential. In the same breath he recognizes that...

Heavy Rain or The Last of Us. Both of them have such rich storytelling components that are really beyond anything else that modern gaming has to offer. They've essentially defined video games as an art form.

You don't play the game on your phone, you use the phone as a controller. I don't think a smartphone would be able to do that kind of game justice.

Knights of the Round in FFVII has to be the most ridiculous one. Not only is it incredibly hard to achieve (you need a Gold Chocobo to access a hidden island), but the attack itself takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds to complete. It can to a maximum of about 130,000 damage to a target, which...
