It's half (reasonable) jealousy, and half righteous anger- they were giving money because they wanted a new gaming device on the market that would likely act as a console, with teams of dedicated developers making games that could change gaming entirely. What they have now is a device that is run by a company that…

Video only? Better make that, "Seven Things I'll Never Know About Street Fighter".

It was, and I've still never gotten past the 4th area, I think. My feeble child brain couldn't map the areas back then.

Only sexist people worry about that. Back when the world wasn't at all civilized, I remember the low reputations of games such as Metroid and The Guardian Legend, not to mention how people never ever used Peach in Super Mario Bros 2, and the Tomb Raider series was constantly boycotted. Also, FFVI was the worst in…

Cool, a game. Glad I have the omni-game player, so I can look forward to playing this game. Because when looking at a preview for a game, it's important to know you have the one game system the world has to offer, so you can be sure that you'll be able to play this game.

There are tons of crappy modern games. Besides- 3D worlds, peak visual realism and in depth physics engines take tons of capital, tons of people and tons of time to create and perfect- and they're more of a necessity to making a modern game than they are a bonus. In a world full of studios making games about…

THIS. Enough comparisons to old things. I stopped eating food, because one time when I was 12, my I had a meal that nobody has ever outdone. I stopped breathing, because air quality was at its peak when I was 16. I stopped making friends and dating, because my crew was the ultimate when I was 18, and I've never…

I'm starting to notice a pattern here...... Namely, comparing new games to old ones.

Ha ha- I'm starting to wonder why disliking things makes you a hater or a hate drone. Sometimes, you don't like things. I hate all of Square-Enix's Final Fantasy games after games after IX, but people always crow, "You should give their games a chance." I DID give them a chance, and from like 1990 until 2000 they…

I must say, I love seeing original character art. It warms the cockles of my soul.

You know what paradise is? A group of now grown friends having some beers and going round-robin on NES and SNES games. A few of my friends just started doing this one night, and it became a ritual. We tackled beauties like Castlevania 1 and Punch Out, just passing the controller to the next person when somebody…

I'm all for offline multiplayer. Hell, as a gamer since the early 80's, I can tell you that competing or cooperating in person can be more socially satisfying than online, especially in certain types of games. I'll give it to shooters: having your own screen is definitely mandatory, and having people in the room…

I used to silently grumble about the amount of non-gaming related news on Kotaku and other sites, but there's a sad fact: video games are no longer a topic that draws substantial news on even a weekly basis anymore. Games take forever to make. Most of the details lie in actually playing them. Companies work harder…

"Hideo Kojima on Why Most Metal Gear Fans Now Think Solid Snake's Name is Stupid"

Jerk.

So many points for you!

Nostalgia is much more important than kids currently know about. That's why I laugh and shrug it off whenever a youngster pans my game or movie opinions as being stuck in the past or based on nostalgia. What they never experienced in context is to their disadvantage.

Beat me to it, ha ha. The best games on Vita are also on PS3/4, or are remakes of old games. Notice that some of the games listed are smaller indie/download games (not saying these games are garbage, but I think a "Best" list should comprise of core retail games). Gravity Rush is probably the freshest and best game…

Calling FFVII overrated is......... completely overrated. If you're finding that calling a game that many people consider great overrated has gotten stale over the past 17 years, you may want to try finding a new good game to call overrated.
