Especially when someones face turns inside out. Yeah, but haven't you noticed how this is escalating though? My N64 games never needed patching. Yes, games are getting more complicated, but so are the tools being used to make them. On the other side of this argument though, one awesome thing about games being online is the fact that some developers release additional free content every now and then. That's always nice to have.

Then smearing my own shite onto the wall to spell "You be having $350?" Then I might go home and have a bath followed by a light supper.

It all felt so half assed, like they'd blown their wads on Silent Hill 3 and couldn't even be arsed to follow it up. But, worst of all, the utter lowest of the low, they increase the play time by making you go through the entire thing twice! "Oh great, here I am in the round prison level again! As if I didn't love it enough the first time around!" For all their faults, not something you could ever accuse Rockstar of. ------------------ Maindrian and Touge's videos of vague annoyance - Est. 2007
