I loved the game, just hated the brain-dead endings. So, I would not say the game as a whole is divisive in terms of a quality debate.

SC 2? My shorthand skill stats are decaying because I have no idea what that means...

From left to right in that pic, I saw The king Lawler, a young Denzel Washington, and Billy Bob Thornton.

You were a bit condescending about it for my tastes, but you are not wrong. Saints Row is a messy series in every sense of the word and I cannot play more than 20 minutes of any of them. Meanwhile, I love GTA.

God, you are already talking about Christmas. Stop rushing it!! :)

Well, the Wii U has stumbled out of the gate. That is not a good sign, but far from the death knell. I agree that there is time. The problem is I just don't see it catching fire like the Wii. I don't think it will bomb (and I really hope it does not since I bought one and actually like Nintendo), but I think it is…

Reality would like a word with you.

I don't know, this is the internet, so it is almost definitely true :)

It is strangely worded, but the advice section seems to indicate that they are going to try and be more casual. Most likely, he meant that, despite being marketed to the casuals, they are not going to buy it.

Personally, I really enjoyed WWE 13 this year. 12' was a mess with potential, but they fixed so many of the minor-moderate issues this time around that it really felt right. There are still a few things that need work (tables....ugh), but really a great showing. Then again, WWE 13 and UFC are the only sports games I…

yes, why yes it would. Good catch!

Yes please. I will also accept a Hellsing Dynasty Warriors.

The Naruto games are a good bit of fun, and the storyline is pretty easily adaptable to a game series. Bleach is terrible though, and I don't know how that retains its popularity in the states.

I am really glad you said that and I agree 100%. This ended up being a much more cordial, logical, and fair discussion than I could have anticipated. Thank you for that, these are so rare on the internet these days.

When you say that I am claiming that it is a sadistic act on the part of parents to raise a child in poverty, that is far from true. Parents have no control over their financial situation at points in life, and so raising a child in poverty may be the only choice. Hopefully, that family will have other strengths like…

The problem is that most studies on the topic are biased and use really awful methodologies. In particular, the research by Anderson et al, which you admitted is perhaps the biggest weapon in proving a relationship between aggression and violent games, has been called into question a few times. Here are three of my…

Yeah, that is the sense I am getting.

Oh, I want some new ips too. In fact, I would argue the industry as a whole needs new ips ASAP to move forward. It just is not possible for THQ to be the one to do it right now.

You realize that advice would run the company into the ground, right? Sequels are the lifeblood of a company. They are the guaranteed safe money in the bank that allows for risky new ips to be made. Creating a bunch of new ips right now would not only be risky, but total suicide (if they make 5 new ips, and even one…

The problem is that parents, pediatricians and psychologists don't know better. Parents let their kids play games like CoD all the time. Though it is not a great practice, 99.9% of those kids are not going to become killers. Pediatricians don't usually have much to say on the issue beyond don't sit so close and don't…
