Currently trying to avoid playing the following while awaiting my old CPU's document-clogged hard drive's resurrection:
Rule of Rose (which everyone else seems to loathe due to its feeble protagonist, but which I heart aesthetically, since the semi-dissonant music is played by real strings and the graphics are the spawn of The Gashlycrumb Tinies and Dorothea Tanning's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik):
(I couldn't find an image of any scenes in which the hapless protagonist can be torn apart by homunculi dressed as bunnies, but they seem particularly Goreyish and Tanningesque.)
Fatal Frame II and III.
Ico (again, for aesthetic reasons).
Resident Evil 4.
Silent Hill 3.
Shadow of the Colossus.
Haunting Ground.
Clocktower 3 (my least favorite of the lot).
GTA SA (most often with my merciless yet invitingly curl-coiffed squeeze).
If only I could feel actual fear while playing a game.
I've just bought crackdown. I've had a cold for the past couple of days to i've had lots of time to play it. It's great for the first few hours then gets really repetitive. But hay, I just bought it for the halo 3 beta.
I got into the S.T.A.L.K.E.R beta, been playing that. It is wicked fun, decent graphics, and extremely amazing sound. Think FEAR sound. You hear eery shrilling screams in the distance, the crack of thunder, the gust of wind from a mini tornadoe that is wripping apart other players. The gun sounds are amazing as well. Very eery envirionment. Sounds great on my DT770/80.
9/10 for the game itself.
For the stability. 1/10. LOL, it has crashed a few times on me already. And when it rains I get alot of graphics artifacts. Plus theres some weird issue with the ctrl button acting like caps lock. So yeah, theres a few issues with it. But such is life with a beta.

Looking forward to FFXII being released over in the UK, we get screwed every time.
SOTC Is an amazing fantastic game. A great (sort of) sequal to ICO. I thought both games were masterful artpieces (I know people dont think of video games as art, but these games definately fit the bill). ICO is the sort of game that doesnt make you angry when you lose. Its sort of a relaxing, peaceful puzzle game. I loved hearing the ocean and birds and everything whilst running from shadow monsters. I absolutely love this game.

Sounds great, hope the finished article is up to scratch. Whats the gameplay like then?
You buy guns like in counterstrike, but its not as fast paced as counterstrike. Think BF2 but without teams (well there might be, all i played was Deathmatch, every man for himself). Im gonna check out some other gameplay types. But yeah, its not very fast paced, but you can sprint and such. But yeah, you buy your guns then you set out for the kills. I will play some more tonight and see if I can compare it to any other games.
