Nothing like the good old "choose your own adventure" books, right?

Wrong.  Sure back in my ankle biting rugrat days I found some level of enjoyment from pointing the story in a certain direction but as I move closer and closer to my days as an elder statesman I find I want more and more of a challenge from my entertainment. 

I have nothing against an "easy mode" for those gamers with slower fingers, bad eyes, and/or those sporting an IQ that makes getting to the cookie in the ziplock bag an exercise in frustration - but a "one setting fits all" type of game gets avoided like the plague.

The games that have given me the most amount of trouble are all at the top of the list of games I've replayed as well. 

So tack on your "no fail" mode for those who want to play through the movie, get the cutscenes, and trick themselves into believing they could have beaten the game if only they had been willing to try. Then line up those thousand enemy grunts I've got to get my unarmed explosive laden dune buggy through and don't bug me until it's time for work in the morning.

That wasn't a real gold buying website.  I'm shocked and dismayed, now how am I supposed to get that epic uh...thing...that I wanted real bad that dropped off that...guy...that I was unable to kill by myself?!
