I think I’ve *seen* resident evil, a friend of mine played it when I was around once. He may have even let me play it, but I don’t remember much about it.

F.E.A.R. was pretty creepy in a lot of parts, but not over-the-top in it’s scare tactics. It used very well placed visuals and scripted events that worked perfectly and added a great ammount of depth to the environment and gameplay.

And Matty, there will be more chances to get points for identifying the source of the titles.

Boooo I want points!

The first Resident Evil was kind of blocky, but very scary from what I recall. Silent Hill was MUCH more frightening!

I played Resident Evil around a friend’s a couple of years back for no more than five minutes maybe. Not really my thing. That said, it is quite famous which is probably why my wind threw it up as a possible source for the quote… even though I couldn’t remember the title of it

Matty: You didn’t mention it as an answer to the question, but rather as a passing reference to the game.

Sayer: I don’t recall ever having played Resident Evil, though the movies were at least somewhat entertaining.

Resident Evil. That was the other game I had in mind.

Shouldn’t I get the points because I mentioned Half-Life in my first post?

“One game that is not too old yet, had great graphics, story, and game play is Half Life.”

It was indeed quite advanced when it came out, and still is listed by many as one of the greatest games of all time. HL2 was a great game too, in it’s own right, though I’m not sure if it reaches the same standard set forth by the orriginal.

I had two choices in my mind but as I couldn’t remember the title of the other game [and still can't] I thought I’d go for the other one which was Half Life

I played HL a bit when it came out. I remember thinking it was quite advanced for the time.

You, Sayer, are quite right! It’s from Half Life

Nicely done.

“Bonus points to anyone who can tell me where the title for this post came from. A Hint: It is from a game.”

Sounds suspiciously like a Half-Lyfe type of phrase to me

I haven’t owned a games console in *years*. There’s various reasons for that, but after selling my Sega Saturn [sometime in the late 90s I guess?] I’ve never felt the need to get one since.

I’ll go through phases of playing PC games.
