Absolutely dreadful.

Amusing, maybe. I wouldn't say good. It offers about as much enjoyment and content as Angry Birds, which might be a lot for some people. For me, however? Doesn't quite cut it. Neither of those games are the least bit immersive.

It wouldn't be a Zelda game if it was entirely in first-person.

Most depressing story of where we're headed: babysat a kid a while ago for a friend. He wanted to play Rotating Octopus instead of Sonic 2. Rotating Octopus. Sonic 2.

It was brilliant because it was still set in a time period before all the mindfucks. There still are mindfucks to be had all over, mind you, but they were nowhere near as prevalent. I think Kojima can continue to make Metal Gear games, but he should really focus on narrowing that gap between Peace Walker and Metal…

If Tolkien was still alive, people would be asking for another LotR book. 'nuff said.

And the first thing you can think of is Smash Bros.? Come on, certainly there are bigger things to imagine than that.

His problem is that the game is constantly stating the obvious. I kinda don't want that kind of crap ruining a good moment.

I have that issue. It's pretty terrible.

My interest in this game just divebombed.

I know a twelve-year old kid in my neighborhood who's a massive CoD and Halo fan. I've babysitted him once.

I was about to verbally smack you for not initially pointing out the ridiculousness of Gold subscribers paying to see ads, but I happened to find you doing that in the following paragraph - good on you. I think it's ridiculous that Microsoft is essentially giving ad-owners free money by hardwiring the ads into the…

He's done this before, actually. I believe he was just in another one of these a little while ago. Notch threw together some sort of first-person adventure game, if I recall correctly. I don't think it had much going for it, though ...

Exactly! Of course, we're not going to get a study like that ... at least, not until more scientists begin to study this kind of phenomenon more objectively. "The Center for Successful Parenting" appears to be an interest group that is trying to find incriminating evidence against gamers, which is a sort of bias that…

It depends on what you mean by wired. As far as brain scans are concerned, they're objective without really saying anything - if you look at a group of five people and ask them to do a certain type of task in an MRI machine, chances are that you're going to get similar kind of readings from the five of them. If you…

Chaos Angel. 'nuff said. Mind you, it's kind of a darker Sky Sanctuary, but it was probably one of the coolest levels I've ever played in a Sonic game.

I hope he puts it back in when he does another remastered edition of Star Wars, then. I just feel like something's missing ...

I'm sharing Xarkom's sentiments here. Why shouldn't he? That's like putting Arnold Schwarzenegger in a movie filled with today's greatest action stars, but only giving him two minutes of screen time.

Why would he? He's retiring from his position of prestige to go back to the basics. I think Miyamoto is more interested in start-ups than he is in already established IPs. I guess when you're approaching the twilight of your life, you're a bit more interested in doing new things that break the mold, rather than…

I accept the fact that there's a lack of creative thinking here ... a lot of scientists nowadays seem to be lacking the insight to ask the right questions in the right way. As my psychology professor would say, 99.9% of everything out there is crap and that it takes a certain kind of person to ask the right questions…
