I get pissed off by a lot of the gimmicks in horror games. Like, the sound of player characters heart beat, or his breathing, or, even worse, when they take control of the camera away and make me look at something. I mean, how would you like it if someone grabbed you by the head, and forced you to look at something?

It's all so very immersion breaking, it reminds me I'm playing a video game, and takes away any fear it could have created if they had just left it alone, and allowed me to have my own reactions.

Of course, generally, my reaction in a game is to want to whip out my guns and shoot whatever it is that dared try and scare me, so I enjoy games that let me do that a lot more then ones that don't.

@BossFightBooks Well, a suggestion, if you do decide to do one on the Elder Scrolls, you could mention it's modding community. Morrowind is where it really started to take off, and a lot of the people who mod the Elder Scrolls games got into modding with that game.

@RickPhoenix But, that would be unethical for a reviews site, which shouldn't be biased toward one game series over another. Of course, seeing unethical behavior where money is involved, isn't new at all.

Sounds very interesting, and worth checking out. I wonder if they're going to just stick with golden oldies, or also do more modern games.

Games, like say, The Elder Scrolls, which won Greatest Game Series of the Decade.

@senjutsu Psst, you probably don't know this, but it really doesn't take $1.5K to make a decent gaming PC.

I can't remember the last time I bought a game on a disc.

However, my game purchases have been mostly Steam sales, where I can get the game for a lot cheaper then retail.

That the way I think digital should be, cheaper then retail, since they're not paying for the cost of putting it on the disc and shipping it.
