Sounds like they should have set it up as a Mr. Potato Head contest. That is, do not post a composite Shep for people to vote on, but a series of features (just like you have in the game). So... a vote on hair color, nose shape, eye color, etc. Then put all the winning features together and there is the official…

I have to admit, after reading the "disgustingly sexual" part of Luke's title, I thought this was going to be about Mara from the SMT games. On topic: it looks like I have a few new games to seek out. The only point and click games I had access to back in those days were the Kyrandia games, as my brother was the one…

All good upgrades, but have they made any announcements about mod tools (haven't been keeping a watch on the game)?

Damn fine work all around! Now where is the Anaru x Jintan (AnoHana) to hit a more recent pairing?

Like I said, nothing there contradicts what I said in my post. In order for what you are claiming I said to be true, I would have had to say something along the lines of "the PSV will succeed where as the 3DS will fail in the face of iOS devices). I am not making that claim! All I added was the the PSV was an addition…

Yes; yes I did. And nothing in there contradicts what I have said. The only thing I did not analyze that was addressed in the article was the influence of iOS devices (I would generalize to all cell phone/ mobile platforms). Obviously they will have some influence on both the PSV and the 3DS as they are another mobile…

While slow early sales are one reason, I think the price drop came now as a preemptive strike against the PSV. The PSV has been lauded for the great value it presents at $250 with all of the technology it packs in, whereas the 3DS has (for the most part) thought to be an expensive piece of machinery with little or no…

I was turned off to the series by the first game. Putting in something like flags to collect makes completionists, like myself, go around and collecting said flags. Then I find out there is no purpose in these flags (other than saving your game) and that it was something the game designers put in to show the futility…

No regrets here, but I've also avoided (for the most part) the biggest time sink in gaming: MMOs. Not that they are bad in and of themselves, but some people (like my bro) seem to have a hard time with moderation with MMOs. On traditional console/handheld games it's easy to put down the game and do something else, but…

Played this a couple of years ago after seeing the LBP level that was inspired by it. Let me just say: thank goodness for save states! There were a number of rooms that took a bit of time to solve/properly move our hero through.

No pissin' in my Kool-Aid! The text belongs to DuckTales as far as I'm concerned! (I know, not really. Just liked the idea of a new DuckTales game)

How dare he use the DuckTales text and make me want some more DuckTales! Hey, there's an idea. Maybe Warren Spector can take that new DuckTales he is working on and turn it into a 3DS game. He's mentioned wanting to make one:

Amazon & Steam for new games; eBay for the rare, older games. The only time I deal with BestBuy or GameStop is when unique pre-order bonuses are involved.

I get what Totilo is saying, but I think there is a place for the PSV along side cellphone gaming and console gaming(at least for me). Personally the "portable" part of portable systems is rarely used, as I end up playing my portable systems at home more than on the road or in a plane. I usually play them kicked back…

There seems to be two things being looked at here: the use of cutscenes in general, and whether those cutscenes are done in-engine vs using pre-rendered CGI/anime. Personally, I'm fine with cutscenes in any form no matter how they are used (like to cover load times, transition between levels that differ on something…

This only reminded me of how much I want another Wild Arms; my favorite Western-styled series.

It certainly looks like a new Eiken to me. Perfect source material for another AMV Hell 0-type entry.

Not bad at all! Just two things. First, why go P67 over the newer z68 boards (I think Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI make z68 boards)? Second, I would go with this CPU cooler to protect that beautiful Sandy Bridge:

You might be able to do it on the Wii (it might not have required a turbo controller...it's been awhile!). To keep it spoiler free, let's just say you use a unique skill from a certain character over and over again that heals everyone at no cost.
