Alternatively, play the old TIM games in all their original glory.

I was unexpectedly disappointed by death once.

Ah. I didn't play it for a long while after it was available. That must be why.

It has been a while, but I don't recall GTAIV being that bad.

No PC version at launch? How disappointing.

That press release reminds me of Hellgate: London.

Oh, really? Thank your for your illuminating commentary.

Hmm, I may need to look for that.

If you know of a pirate-free platform I'm sure every DRM using developer would love to know about it.

To the people saying this is a ripoff or clone of Game Dev Story: yes, this does arguably look very much like GDS, except for the part where GDS is a smartphone, mobile game only. If Kairosoft didn't wish people to clone their game for desktops then they shouldn't have left that market open.

Really? Wow. How do I get on your train? Someone needs to tell the whole review industry (movies, music, books, games etc) that their work is predicated on the completely ignorant assumption that people who haven't experienced a product would like to know why they should spend their time and money on it.

Saddled with an uncomfortable, awkward controller and having average graphics for it's time, was the story really so good that it gets hailed as "the greatest video game every made"? To be…

It has the opportunity to offer a shooter with the freedom of 6 degrees of movement. This should create a nice counterpoint to the Battlefields, Call of Dutys, Medal of Honors, ad nauseum that are out there now.

Your screenshot says the 3DS is shipped and sold by Amazon.com. So they apparently are selling the hardware.

How many of those that voted in the survey have played any Final Fantasy game prior to X?

If not directly then there are always system emulators (DosBox etc).

This was done in Sim Isle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimIsle:_Missions_in_the_Rainforest

I got to play it for a few hours on release night and had a good time with it. I've enjoyed Sim City since the original and have to say this one feels spot on. It is possible to play it on your own (albeit still online). I think that anyone who liked the earlier iterations will like this one as well ... once they can…
