Worst. Villain. Ever. Anyway, I'd have to go with Sidney from Vagrant Story, or Jowy from Suikoden 2. Sidney for coolfactor, Jowy for not being evil. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I didn't want to say anything but... she was a pretty poor villain.

The Practical Incarnation – PS:T No, I know. Not a villain as such, but certainly an antagonist who in his previous life was never foolishly evil i.e. never afraid to do good if it in someway benefited him. Someone Malak could learn from. Jon Irenicus – Baldur's Gate: SOA Mainly because of Sark on vocals, David Warner, I love you. But also, he had more depth than I first thought, he was bitter and angry at the world; all he ever wanted was some elfish lovin’. Domino Hurley – Grim Fandango It’s a tough choice but if I had to chose between Dom and Hector it would be Dom every time. Wonderful competitive rapport with Manny and one of the best deaths I've ever seen committed to disk. The Master – Fallout Disturbing. Karras – T2: The Metal Age Musty made a very good call with Constantine and Viktoria (that double-criss scene certainly has to be one of my favourite moments from any game). Though I'd like to put forward Karras since he was certainly Howard Hughes esque in creepiness and his fanaticism was surly commendable. Kreia – KOTOR2: TSL I'm surprised no one mentioned her actually. In terms of depth she was the Quran as opposed to Malak's 'The Little Train That Could'. Notable mentions: Solidus Snake (I couldn't help liking, damn you John Cygan!), Sarevok, Lance Vance , Lan Di, and recently Master Li.

I used to have a Dreamcast that everyone wanted a piece of. Oh Chloe, you loved it you whore!

What the fa shizzle is going on?

Well... I'll be pur-chasing a lens cleaner dealy tomorrow. I'm a little hesitant to open my Susan up.

Lets not forget Ultima 9, the Ultima of the millennium!

Oh Bill. You slay me.

My xbox is now asthmatic, it often wheezes, the dust crippling my much needed relaxation period! Is there any way, any form of maintenance or resuscitation that may improve my quality of life? How do I clean this damn thing!?

So!?!? You're a feisty young man aren't you? As has already been said by Wastl, KOTOR's engine wasn't capable of the snazzy robes TSL sported. It's over analysis on your part, it doesn't really have a detrimental impact on the game either, does it?

Gary Numan - Cars ... Oh Gary.

The Arcade Fire - Une ann

Omikron: The Nomad Soul offered a bizarre sex scene with another mans wife early on into the proceedings. In retrospect it was pretty silly but when I was 14 it was confusing... and strangely compelling.

Its a classic tough guy, military man facade ala Steven Seagal.

I hit 20 last Saturday. Tis all downhill from now on, I'm already beginning to sag.

Yeah, it's a pretty odd game, with plenty of sex appeal on offer. Oh, those French and their burning loins! When will they learn? Looking forward to Fahrenheit though.

I'm guessing your german considering that i didn't understand "Gott Im Himmel?" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually no, ich bin english. And all the choices have there distinctive perks. For some (nomad soul) it's a nostalgic treat, for others it's the sheer size and overall wonderfulnessness (Deus Ex). As for Jade Empire and TSL they’re both very current enjoyable games, enthralling RPGs despite their many awkward... quirks. I was going to throw some more names into the mix also, perhaps Shenmue I or II, Arcanum, Baldur's Gate II + TOB.

It is a game with many fine strokes of genius-...ness. Being reprimanded by Paul for killing on Liberty Island To which I responded with a 'Gott im Himmel?' But the others have their charms also.

Well actually these are all games I already own and have completed. I've not played any of them in a long while though. Years in the case of Deus Ex and Nomad Soul.

Omikron: The Nomad Soul starring the David Bowie as Boz! Its an ambitious but flawed (and silly) game, made a few years ago by Quantic Dream. A sequel is in the works apparently. http://pc.ign.com/articles/160/160509p1.html

Hows about a nice slice of self-indulgence for you all. I'll soon have a good two weeks of free time available before the next university year (yay) meaning games will have to be played compulsively, as if the welfare of my critically acclaimed (or not, as the case may be... or is) genitalia depended on it (its an unwritten rule, a footnote in the bible if thats your bag). And so I ask your help. Which of the above time sponges would you covet like it had never been coveted before?

You never cease to amaze me.

Plot floors? A term I've never heard of. Do you mean flaws?

Good choice! :cool: Baldur's Gate 2: SOA\TOB Deus Ex Final Fantasy VII Grim Fandango In Cold Blood (a controversial choice I'm sure, but what can I say... I genuinely enjoyed it) Planescape: Torment Shenmue II
