What is Game? - Resident Evil 5 PC gameplay

The PC port of Resident Evil 4 is a little notorious due to the fact that in its original state, the version that was put on the shelves for people to pay real money for, did not have lighting in it. More specifically, did not have any shading effects at all, no contrast, everything was overly bright and ugly. Also the control scheme did not include mouse support, the default being an extremely awkward and frustrating keyboard scheme, more or less requiring you to have a gamepad if you wanted to play it without hating it. It didn't do so well.
Still, it appears Capcom has faith in the PC market and this time decided it would be better if they ported the game themselves, and it works splendidly.

What is Game? Doubleshot - Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Mirror's Edge

I have a review for Alone in the Dark in the pipes, but I think I may need a little more time to meditate on my time spent with it. I'll go ahead and say right now it wasn't very good.
In the meantime, I did some PC gaming over the weekend, getting through the pheonomial Research and Development made me want to go back and play through Half-Life 2: Episode Two again, and I finally cracked open the copy of Mirror's Edge I bought a couple weeks ago, which didn't take long to see it through to completion. Anyway, flashing lights and bright colors:

What is Game? - Grand Theft Auto IV

Been bit by the Grand Theft Auto IV bug again. Rockstar really did create a world that is just fun to run around in and explore, with the option to cause some mayhem if you're feeling bored. Here's some gameplay footage of one of the missions and some more stupid videos after the jump.

What is Game? - Dead Space

So instead of getting into King's Bounty or starting Broken Steel in Fallout 3 or restarting Silent Storm or polishing off the last survival challenge in Plants vs. Zombies or continuing to struggle through the problems I've been having with Call of Duty: World at War multiplayer (Which I may expand on later), I decided to play through Dead Space for the third time.

It's really good.

What is Game? - Fallout 3 (Test)

I think I'm going to try to make this a regular piece, because I'm very bored, to give a visual account of what I've been playing and also maybe give a better presentation on some things you might not have heard of. It'll be good when I get around to finally tackling King's Bounty or going back to play some Silent Storm.

Anyway, here's me dicking around in Fallout 3, mostly I was testing how well uploading HD videos to YouTube works:
