I've played Rage for about five hours and, if you're curious, I'll tell exactly what kind of game it is.

Condemned: Criminal Origins is one of the scariest games I've ever played. It's an overlooked gem from the Xbox 360's launch. This is a creative non-fiction account from a scene in the game. Read at your own risk! :)

Part two of my Deus Ex series looks at how Eidos Montréal purposefully left out a morality scale that judges players on the decisions they make. It's only you and your own ethics in Human Revolution.

When I get a new game, I have a very specific layout for how I want to experience it for the first time. It's a bit intense, but every game deserves a chance to totally immerse me.

Read Dead Redemption won the hearts of many gamers last summer. I played through it recently and, to put it lightly, didn't understand what all the fuss was about.

"hink blaming the gamers for bad endings is sort of a chicken-or-the-egg problem because I'd wager that if more developers crafted stories that were worth a damn, we'd stay till the end.
One of my theatre professors in college once said that the greatest message you can send to the performers on stage that a play is bad is by leaving. She urged us to walk out of bad shows if we were ever at one. I think the same holds true for games, except developers/publishers don't seem to care about the players after they secure our $60.
Your backlog point is interesting, too. For some reason, I think of a backlog as a list of games I haven't started playing yet that I want to (that I don't own.) If I ever owned/rented a game and didn't finish it, there's probably a damn good reason I didn't and I won't go back to it. If a game is good, I'll finish it. Sometimes if a game is bad, I'll finish it. I might be in the minority on this, but I hated Red Dead. I still finished it just to see what all the fuss was about, and it wasn't worth my tens of hours I'd spent in the game. I think games need to be shorter and less expensive and maybe that would be a start to more people finishing them. I know it's easier said than done, howe"
