So no one is going to take me seriously because I pointed out how bad the price model is? Well if that's the case then there are a lot of better writers than I that will not be taken seriously. Your only point is that I did not initially know or care that Sony didn't set the prices themselves. Well, I am going to let you know why I didn't know or care, because it didn't matter to my initial point. My point of this whole thing was, you can buy the games cheaper than renting them from this service. Also, just so you know, my reference to buying a game for a dollar more on Steam than I could rent it for four hours is there because it supports the whole, you can get games cheaper elsewhere point. So I think you may be the one who doesn't know how to approach this conversation. I don't care if Sony, Activision, LJN, Nintendo or any number of other developers and publishers get the money, I care that they are charging too much. This service is incredibly overpriced and could be something in the future but as it is now is a rip off. So now that we are back on topic and you have to try and actually defend against my original point let's see what you come up with. See, civil conversation.

@Jaysonguy: And I like how idiots come into a perfectly civil conversation and start flinging insults. Why should I find another arguing point? The pricing, as well as a library of mostly sub par games, is what I have issue with. You are unable to defend the fact that the current price model is garbage and all your so called education is, is saying that a third party sets the price instead of Sony. How does that prove any sort of point? I am very much aware that the publishers set the pricing. You seem to be implying that Sony is unable to do anything to change the pricing on their service that is being blasted universally. If you think that Sony can do nothing to set fixed price points or come up with some other price variants on their service, you may be the one who needs more than a small dose of education.

I don't hate the service, I said I was actually excited for a streaming rental service in my initial post. I think the prices are insanely high, 2.99- 4.99 for four hours is downright insulting. I get what you are saying about people not having past generations of systems so they can't play the original disks, but there is no way that someone can look at these prices and feel like they are getting a bargain. I am not going to pay to play a game for only four hours, 5 dollars for 5 days, is a price I can see working, like the old video rental stores of yore. I can see this being something in the future but there is no way at the present price points that this is anything other than a blatant cash grab to fill up their coffers.

@gamenerd15: This just seems like a money grab on the part of Sony. If they ever get a subscription model, perhaps something like you can pick 5 games to rent for a month or unlimited games for a month at a reasonable price then I could see this as something worthwhile. Especially if they borrowed the model gamefly uses, 1-3 games out at a time and you can return one and get another. Until they do something better, I just don't see any real value in it.

I am 29, and the first game I remember playing was Haunted House on the Atari 2600 when I was somewhere around 3-4. So....I am going to have to say I will stop when I'm dead. Or they just can't create captivating games any more.

So I just got my hands on a copy of Silent Hill 2 Restless Dreams for the original XBox and even though I have played this game through a few times it still gives me the creeps. So this got me thinking of games that have given me the heebie jeebies over the years and why. I will start off with a few of my favorites and recommendations. First of course there is Silent Hill 2. This was/is an incredible game with its sense of total and utter aloneness and the foreboding feeling that it gives the player. On my first playthrough I was wandering around town trying to find out where to go with nothing but the wind howling around me and I always had the uneasy feeling that there was something right outside of my view. Silent Hill 3 is another great one. While I have not been able to finish Silent Hill 3 on account of sony making the absolutely brilliant desicion to disable the ps2 reverse capability from what I did play, it had the same fears the second one had plus something even more sinister that I can't quite put my finger on. Now going back to before some of you guys were born The 7th Guest gave me goosebumps the entire time I was playing this game. There is something about a haunted house that I just love to explore, the random woman in white that appears in hallways, the music and the dark claustrophobic house full of dolls all created an unsettling setting for a great little story about an evil toy maker and his haunted house. Finally Amnesia the dark descent. HOLY F@#K this game by far takes the cake of games that scare the s#it out of me. Now I ain't 'fraid of no ghost but this game is unbelievably frightning. I have play it with headphones on and lights off for the most immersion that I can get and I feel like there is something chasing me even after I have left the game. When the lights go out in game and the growls of some thing are coming in from the just behind me its all I can do to keep my composure. Now that I have shared some of what I think are some of the more frightening games the horror genre have to offer, what about you guys?

So I was just sitting here doing some research for one of my classes listening to my iTunes on shuffle and then The 7th Guest soundtrack popped up and started playing. I stopped what I was doing and then thought this is an excellent soundtrack. Which leads me to ask: Favorite game soundtrack, what's yours? One of mine is obviously the 7th guest, but also the silent hill 3 soundtrack is incredible. so discuss among yourselves what is your favorite soundtrack to a game and does the soundtrack effect the quality of a game.

I got my ps2 sometime in 2001 or 2002 honestly cant remember but the game that I was excited about was the bouncer.  So I got it, beat it, and was thouroghly disapointed.  After that I can't remember what I got next but I will always remember that one because of the disapointment it brought.
