I used to LOVE the horror genre. Resident Evil, Dead Space, Alan Wake (severely under rated btw)

I have a bunch saved on my xbox currently but they just haven't had the same appeal recently.

If you were an old school PC gamer, did you ever play the Phantasmagoria series?  Holy moly the failed endings got graphic.

Unfortunately I haven't played them

Piggybacking off what I already said, CPU or Human opponent doesn't matter. I think it's bad form to quit because you're getting beat. In the video game world, there is always another game (or life or continue or whatever)

I do not use guides (not since getting stuck in Chrono Trigger on an SNES emulator in the early 2000s) they are expensive and I'm not a "gotta get 100% completion" type player. I'm a "gotta beat the game" guy... and for that, I don't need no stinkin guide.

Cheat codes are for after you've beaten the game. Especially GTA series.

I go it alone for solo RPG types and but for multi-player FPS type games I really prefer working together with people that communicate.
As for help from guides and walkthroughs... just takes a little of the fun and accomplishment away if you are getting someone else to tell you how to beat a game, imo.

I am a beat the game guy too.  Some of the hidden items are cool to find, but for me, finishing the story and beating the game is the thing.

Another ethics question: are you willing or have you ever been willing to play all or part of a game on a lower than normal difficulty level to finish a game?

I suspect I know your answer, Kane.

Depends on the game. Shooters are always on the hardest difficulty. RPGs can vary, usually I play them on Normal. For instance, Dragon Age Origins I have on easy since my main purpose it to play it for the storyline that I missed out on years ago. Guess it really just depends on the game and if it's more story or action based.
