Technically, Gandalf wasn't even human. In LOTR, wizard was what his race was called by men.

Just because he is called a creature of the night, that doesn't make him satanic. Bats really are creatures of the night, and there's nothing evil or demonic about them. It's just their nature. Since Batman adopts the disguise of a bat, it would make sense for him to be active at night. As for his use of fear, look who he's fighting. He fights the worst sort of people. I think one of the movies said it best. He wants to turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. Of course, I can't say anything about the game that this review is for because I've never played it and I don't plan to.

I would still consider it. It's a game that could have easily made T if it hadn't been for the rather bloody combat methods, but if you turn off the blood, it's rather tame. Some of the boss fights are, I admit, cringe-worthy, such as one that requires you to stab out the boss's eyes. But in spite of all of it, there's even some good messages in this game.

I'll have to give you that one, Bob. You did make a valid point, but I do think it's called making a mountain out of a molehill. I wouldn't think Samus was designed with the intent of making men drool over her, and if they do anyway, then blame them not the designers. It's like if a person gets drunk and blames the liquor companies or even the stores for displaying them.

We're all entitled to our opinions, but there's no need to attack anyone. While kids will eventually see this sort of thing, I'd say the parent should have some say whether or not they're ready, and even then I think most kids shouldn't see the kind of gory violence that RE is known for. Now, that's my opinion, and I hope you'll show some respect for it.

He may very well be genuine, and he may very well be honest. But even so, that doesn't give him the right to blatantly insult other people, and he's done the same thing before. While honesty is commanded of all of us, there are some things that should be left unspoken. Besides that, most of what he says paints a picture of self-righteousness, and that is hardly an admirable trait. As I said, if he wants to call something out as bad, then he is welcomed to. But if he wants to go around making judgements about others, especially in terms of their own standing with God, then that is something that few will stand for.

I agree with you, Brandon, for once, but once again, I have to take issue with your methods. I can certainly agree that demonic material should not be played with or made light of, but that still does not give you the right to blatantly insult people. Doing so damages your own position. By calling people potheads or whatever else you want to call them, you don't help your case; if anything, you hurt it. And what's worse, acting like that only gives a bad name to other Christians. If you want to call this sort of thing for what it is, then you certainly can, but you don't have the right to make that kind of statement, and it's not the first time you've made a statement like that.

Not that I know of. I usually try to read the comments before they're approved, but sometimes I don't have a lot of time, so sometimes they tend to pile up. My apologies.

There's been some problems with the reviews for a while. Some content got taken out when some updates were made. Right now, there's a risk for data loss, so new reviews can't be published.

I hope you'll be patient while this gets sorted out.

A good point, but one thing I have heard about Japanese is that one word has multiple translations, which is why it's such a problem trying to translate games into English. So, even those translations might be exactly the most accurate. Still, Majora's Mask does have plenty of problems in the spiritual department, as this reivew acknowledges.
