@Yamagata: Ninjas? Mere assassins, known primarily for killing people in their sleep and then sneaking away. Pirates, on the other hand, fight like men!

@Calabast: Damn it! Those sneaky MS guys are always one step ahead!

@JonnyDee: Reeling.

@Witzbold: Yeah, total flight endurance is about sixty seconds before you run out of fuel and plummet into the deck. Doesn't stop it from looking cool right up until that moment, though :)

Following the inevitable lengthy thread of people arguing why their console of choice is vastly superior to the opposition (despite a video of insufficient quality to determine anything other than the fact that they both look extremely similar), wouldn't it be great if Kotaku finally announced that they'd had the…

@deanbmmv: It's not that they're seeing a different video. It's that they're seeing whatever it is that they want to see.

@Jellocakes: Unless Sony were to actually licence DirectX for their next console (uh, sure) then it is STILL unlikely that you would see Valve's games on it, even if Sony just copied Microsoft's approach and filled a plastic console box with relatively generic PC components. It's all about the development…

@Janxer: because the amount of money that had to be paid for the license was astronomical, and DLC just wouldn't generate enough income to make it worthwhile (not compared to a $60 retail product).

@zach a mac rack alack: Absolutely. I love my PS3, but if it's Valve games that you want to play then you're going to want a PC and a copy of Steam. It's what they do best; any other platform represents a compromise.

@SurprisedFace: "Surely the PS3 slim wouldn't come out directly after it's announced."

@garrettgoodrich: ModNation Racer probably isn't too far away, it looked in pretty good shape at E3.

@RicoTheSaboteur: They should have licenced Toto's famous song for the opening menu. That would have been great! On the other hand, people might just sit there listening rather than actually pressing Start (like I sometimes do with Battlefield 1943).

@Drogmir: Did it ever occur to you that his strategy might simply be to manipulate you into buying all of his games for him? ;)

@rorkimaru: Yeah, I picked up my copy for £7 at a closing-down sale. I'd heard that it was good, but short. At that price I knew that I was definitely getting my money's worth!

@deanbmmv: You are SERIOUSLY quick on the "draw", sir. I salute you.

Call that a workplace?!! Bloody hell, it's no wonder games developers are constantly announcing delays and / or patches. The real surprise is that any work ever gets done at all!

@Ferkner: Hey, we'll have none of your "logic" around here, mister! The Wii is last generation because it's graphics aren't as good, see! The fact that it has more advanced controls and vastly better sales than the other current generation consoles is irrelevant!

@cutmaclass: It would probably be rather difficult to have Natal "built in", simply because you wouldn't want to be forced to put the entire console in the position that was best for the camera.

@Koda89: The best part of that whole clusterfuck was that when Sony finally did settle, they were able to do so for a lot less money than Microsoft - so Microsoft then sued Immersion!

@Rampage: True, but there's definitely room for a few more good ones. I'll never play WoW simply because I can't stand the whole "swords & sorcery" thing, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. If you're after a sci-fi MMO then currently the only real option is the half game / half spreadsheet EVE Online (at least until…
