Sigh ... all of this complaining could be averted if Sony just simply decided to make the PSN an international market. Do away with the god damn borders and just allow everyone to download what they want, regardless of the language it's in.

Physicists would have a field day.

Challenge accepted.

Everyone's getting botox these days. It's the new thing.

We expected what we were spoonfed because Metal Gear Solid has always been over-the-top: "Ocelot getting possessed by Liquid Snake? Gosh darn, that sounds implausible enough to actually be true."

Transformers has become more than what you think it to be. The movies (which people often think of as taboo because they apparently don't do the series justice) followed that sort of "robots in disguise" motto initially, but they broke away from it. Why? Because it wasn't long before almost everyone realized that…

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…
