Honestly, if you can only afford one game, I don't think you will go wrong with any of these in terms of value for money. Have you tried picking one out of a hat (or tub, cup or small box), then gauging your reaction? I find that helps....

Shadow Batman!

One Life Left

That is all...

Also, this:

I assume you guys are from the UK? :)

I was first introduced to gaming via this beauty:

An Amstrad CPC 464, Green Screen. Whilst the Speccy and C64 war was raging in the UK, ther were some of us who made do with this thing. Despite it's limitations, (it had less software that Speccy, and less power than C64 - though this a very reductive argument), it opened up a new world for me I never new existed, and videogames have been a importnat part of my life ever since.

It's why I still, to this day, cannot completely and unreservedly hate this man:

He never knew me, but I knew him, his voice was a familiarity every week. I live across tha globe, and I will miss him. i dread to think how those close to him must be feeling.

I'm currently reading The Last Hundred Days, an English Professor's eyewitness account of the last days of the Ceausescu regime in Romania.

But I have a huge monkey on my back: A Game of Thrones is sat on my shelf waiting to be read, and I want to read the books rather than watch the show; the hazard of spoilers is becoming more prevalent at times goes on.

Reviews are important, yes. But it depends on who the review is from, on whether that reviewer is trusted to you and how well you know how their style and taste matches your own.

Although Brad's QL on Dead Island sold me on that game more than a review ever could...

So, I have been enjoying the gamespot gameplay podcast of late, and was thinking about it's convention of having guests on. Do you think that the Bombcast would benifit from having a regular rotation of guests from other sites / devs / communities, and if so, who would you suggest?

I guess I'm just hankering after a Jeff Gerstmann vs. Jim Sterling showdown...

I don't really like getting involved in all this negative nancy business, but I make an exception here for Arthur Gies. He is a good writer and I find his reviews to be well balanced and fair, but his attitude on RebelFm downright cuts through me. He yawns and sighs more than anyone on any other podcast I've ever listened to and it just feels like his otherwise priveliged position is a huge inconvenience to him.

Tool.
