Let me preface this thread by saying that, yes, I know video game movies are bad. They're often really bad. What I'm challenging you to do is choose the one you dislike the least. Or, hey, maybe you actually like your choice. Anything's possible. Mine is bizarre, but I'm going to go with Super...

Any sort of warrior-esque character from an RPG. I don't care which one that much - perhaps something a little more modern, though medieval is fine too - because my primary stipulation is that I can make money by killing monsters. Not by selling their hides or anything, but because they just...

Excited, yes, but I have the opposite problem where I've got a 3DS (okay, 2DS, but the difference is negligible) but no phone. Fortunately, my wife has a very up-to-date phone, and I'm probably going to play the game vicariously through her. Plus if, say, there's a Charmander in a men's bathroom...

I played quite a few N64 games before the system died out, but the ones that still stand out are: Mario 64. It's still fun. I also had the special privilege to be one of a few kids to play it before it got translated and released in the west, 'cause I went to a special N64 event. Got all the...

I've always loved the Final Fantasies - most of 'em, anyway - but FFVI takes the prize. There are so many awesome songs in that game. Dancing Mad has to be one of the most epic songs ever composed for a video game, and it fits Kefka so well. It's kind of a new contender, but I've found myself...

Probably Pokemon LeafGreen / FireRed, if we're talking about the number of times I've played a game. I logged more hours on LeafGreen than most other RPGs, including some of my all-time favourites. Mother 3 would probably be my choice if they'd ever released it in North America, mind. Grumble...

I jump between the two, and I still prefer playing big box games on a console. These days I find myself preferring PC mainly for all the awesome indie titles you can grab off of Steam. There's so much variety. I can see my Steam collection eclipsing my console collection within a year or two...

StarFox and Xenoblade Chronicles X. The former because I'm a rabid fan of flight sims, particularly StarFox; the latter because it just looks cool. Plus I love me some RPGs. I'd say Zelda, as well, but I'm worried that Nintendo might dump the Wii U in favour of a new system in the...

The price is high, but it's not that bad. You need to place games side-by-side to see the graphical difference, but it's definitely there. I don't know that I've gotten my fill of it yet - in fairness I only have a few games so far - but what I've bought has been good. It feels like a system...

I prefer the kind of game play Zelda offers overall - I love RPGs, and it's far closer to an RPG than Mario - but I ultimately have to go with Super Mario Bros. I didn't enjoy the first Zelda game that much. It's lacking in the character building that defined the series for me later, and it...

I've owned both the Gameboy and the Color, but I didn't dig too deeply into their libraries, for whatever reason. I enjoyed the NES and the SNES a great deal more, and then the GBA when it came out. Maybe I'm just a sucker for deeper colour palettes than the Color could offer. Still liked a lot...

Usually cheaper, but not always. Seems to depend on the game. I don't know the exact reason for this, but it certainly helps that you can usually get PC games from discounted services like Steam and Humble Bundle. I've found that PC versions often come out a bit later than console versions, so...

I would say that Telltale started out with at least a minor focus on game play. The first season of The Walking Dead had a fair number of puzzles that required some brain power, such as the bit in the drug store where you need to figure out how to redirect a swarm of zombies. Their newer...

Good game. Played it on the PS3. It's zombie storytelling done right, 'cause it focuses as much on character development as plot. I'm really looking forward to whatever sequel they eventually pump out. Should replay that game. It's not incredibly long, but I think it's been long enough that...

Dr. Wily's second capsule form in Mega Man 7 drove me bonkers. I can't beat him. I know how to beat him, but he's not vulnerable to attack often enough, and his attacks are so damned cheap. Four homing bullets? ARGH Speaking of Mega Man 8, I'll toss in the first Wily level. The rest of the game...

I honestly couldn't say what started this trend - maybe someone else can enlighten me - but it seems like games are overrun by achievements, trophies, and / or minor aesthetic rewards for completing certain goals. I'm sure anyone who's owned an Xbox has at least noticed their score a few times...

No prob. Speaking of Day of the Tentacle, there was news late last year that they're doing some kind of remake / remaster of it. Looks like it's slated for a 2016 release, if Double Fine's website is any indication, but there's not much to go by yet. Point-and-click games seem to be resurfacing...

Good game. I remember slobbering over it when it first came out, because FF7 was the reason I picked up a PS1 as a kid. Thought it was the greatest thing since sliced insert-fantastic-whatever-here. I pick it up and play it again every few years and I always find that it hasn't aged as well as...

Huh. I didn't know they were still supporting new stuff on the Wii. Guess Crunchyroll isn't a big deal to shove on there? That or the number of Wii users still outweighs the number of Wii U users. If you like platformers, I'd say the Mega Man games are a good bet. None of them are amazingly...

Dude, don't throw the 'true' gamer label around. It's so pompous. If you like video games, you're a gamer. Period.
