I love both novels and games that I can do in one go. Moments of achieving such a feat are forever logged in my memory as some of my favorite points in my life. Boring? Eh, perhaps to some. As for me I love the feeling of completion that you get from a rich and full story that you conquered within one cycle. Good job Layton. Thanks for the insight.

Maybe I'm just a sloppy player who likes to run straight forward into my enemies and swing haphazardly until X dies, but I for one am a little grateful that the concept of friendly fire isn't adopted into every game. I know that it might be juvenile but I want to play in my alternate reality without the constant worry of some AI running in front of my blades. I don't need reality in my alternate one.

Would LOVE to have this so much! ;) Here's to hoping.

I like that he is so excited that it sounds like he has just finished a marathon. Wow, honey sit down a spell (in your boxers) and catch your breath. I did not know that unboxing was the next Olympic sport.

Unfortunately your warning does ring true...I finally was given the opportunity to try minecraft this weekend with a good friend of mine's account after his suggestion of knowing that I LOVE sandboxes. A horrible mistake on his part.
I played for seven hours straight from midnight until seven in the morning...the next evening I did it again. Best gaming session ever. There is something simple, amazing and horribly addicting about this sandbox. I am completely and uncontrollably in love.

I think the reason why gore wins out over sexuality a lot of times is both the pure shock value and the ability to have hands on control of the game. You can go to your local coffee shop and see that hot bartista any day of the month, so seeing an attractive woman isn't that unusual. But being the hand of God and laying waste to a barrage of evil soldiers one vaporizing headshot at a time? Now that's not your everyday fodder, and hopefully it's not a part of your everyday routine.
On a note for sexuality I was actually blown away when it was brought to my attention that men actually think that that hourglass, "perfect" 36-24-36, figure is obtainable without being an Olympic athlete or liposuction...or a video game character. More than that, that men actually use this as a standard to compare all other women in their reality? Strange...but such is life.
I'm not upset, trust me I'm actually pretty traditional when it comes to feministic values, but maybe the reason gore and violence are looked at more than boobs (to put so bluntly) is that we are jaded from the latter.

Because we all know that it is true: Women do literally have Abs of Steel. We don't need no stinking badges...or proper armor for that matter. Brave of you to reveal that secret to the masses!

Civilization comes to mind when I think of this topic. I have my spies laid out everywhere and things seems to be vacant so I move in. Then TA-DAH -- my would-be victim has 50 insta-units.

I love how most women measure their age by looking in the mirror or realizing that they can't stay up and party like they used to. But no, not us -- not us gamer girls. We measure how old we are in Pokemon.

A reminder of humility can be useful for gamers that become elitists, turning up their noses at titles that could have potential. But when the general consensus tells you to run for the ipecac because you just consumed poison, it might be wise to listen.

Is anyone else expecting the piranha plant to say "Feed me!"? After it's done snarling of course.

Good job! Well written. No distractions. I know how it is to want to open every single box, bag, and barrel you see.
