Day 06 – Your favourite level from a video game
Umm.. Nothing comes to my mind... Maybe the final act from Diablo 2 that came with the LoD expansion. I remember it was fun to play to through and I grinded it a bit, even though I am not a fan of grindind... I also like the boss fights from games like Final Fantasy and such.

Day 06 – Your favourite level from a video game Oohh... that's a tough one. I don't think I have good enough a memory to answer that. A recent favorite would be from Alice Madness Returns. During one of the later stages Alice is chased by an unstoppable pawn of the Red Queen. At one point, Alice comes upon a cake in the middle of a maze. After eating a bite, she grows to gigantic proportions, and is able to stomp said pawn. From there, now nigh invulnerable, she goes on a rampage, stomping and smashing her way to the heart of the queen's castle. It's quite satisfying.

Day 06 – Your favourite level from a video game The nightmare sequences from the first Max Payne always were pretty intense. Oh yeah, good call. Reminds me of the nightmare sequences from Batman: Arkham Asylum, especially the one where the game seems to bug and you end up seeing the beginning of the game, but with Batman being led into the asylum by Joker.

I agree, good call on max payne man, that game was epic.
My favorite level is probably the city level from sonic adventure 2... Amazing track and level was awesome. Also, can you tell I love sonic?

Also very good picks. Those were awesome. Anyone play Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube? That one liked to mess with you too.

Day 07 – Your least favourite level from a video game
Meh. No idea again. I guess many games have pretty boring start to be honest. For example Baldur's Gate the opening city was so boring to play over and over again when you started a new game. It doesn't make the game bad or anything, but any level that you are likely playing multiple times will become boring.

Day 07 – Your least favourite level from a video game The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the side scrolling NES one). The underwater bomb defusing stuff. -or- Battletoads (NES) speeders on level 3. Take your pick. Both suck ass.

It doesn't make the game bad or anything, but any level that you are likely playing multiple times will become boring. Yeah, especially when you suffer from Alt-itis. Battletoads (NES) speeders on level 3. I was going to say anything from Battletoads, but you beat me to the punch here. Loved the game, but it was so damn tough!! Day 07 – Your least favourite level from a video game I'd say any level with a time trial... Most underwater levels are pretty bad too... Oh here's one! I didn't hate it, kinda loved it actually, but I hated how it made me feel. In Dead Space 2, at one point the main character has to go back into the USG Ishimura, the ship from the first game. Knowing what had happened in there, I was genuinely afraid of what I could find... I thought that is was a great idea for the game, having to revisit that setting, but I really didn't want to have to go back in there. Most stressful 30-45 minutes of gaming of my life.

I tried to play Dead Space, but it really stressed me out, and I had to drop it. Shame, too, because I really enjoy the premise and the games are very well received.

Day 08 – Your favourite ability from a video game Kratos' ability to smash faces. What...? Not a super power? Hum... Anything from Altered Beast then. Because when you're a kid, nothing says 'power up' like turning into a giant muscle-bound man-beast.
