Functionality be damned. What's most important with this animation is that Nintendo is showing love - they went above and beyond. If they were MS, they would have riddled it with ads. But nope. Not ONLY is it ad-free, but it's a feast for the eyes, and a cool concept.

From what I've heard, it's slightly better. The GPU isn't any great shakes above the 360 or PS3, but there's a TON more RAM.

If it'll make people stop banking on mobile as the be-all end all future of games? Sure.

The first social gaming mega-upstart to meet an untimely end.

They both sounds like cases of ports optimized for other architectures that are suffering from "early release" syndrome - that period of about two years where developers are still learning the quirks, tricks, and shortcuts that come with new console hardware.

Roughly "Infinite fun - Sega Enterprises". It's then signed by satan.

That sure reminds me...

Four words for you, Pincus.

And that idea is great, because it's ANTI-escapism. It's telling us something about the world we live in, not offering a refuge from it.

What you missed in your equation is that the best of these games, books, and movies we so enjoy are the ones that are relevant to our lives - the ones that make us question, feel, think, and wonder. The ones that inspire us to take action, or the ones that make us look from a new perspective. My definition of escapism…

GREE is certainly playing hardball. With all of its aquisitions, it reminds me of Zynga.

"But one of the more interesting answers is one that fewer people would like to admit: Video games are an escape. They let us forget about our troubles and inhabit other peoples' brains and bodies. The problems in video games always have quantifiable, achievable solutions. Where life is messy, video games are neat."

Nintendo did this with the 3Ds, and it really bit them in the ass...

As I suspected, really. The worst elements of Japanese business - pride, politics, and pettiness - running a creative company will create nothing but trouble.

Horrors? At least it had a look of its own, unlike a CERTAIN dashboard out for a current-gen MS console...

Another list of video games which, based on their picks, was made by people who don't know a lot about videogames. Unfortunate...

Subtle...+1

Versus some of my consoles with optical drives like my Sega CD and PS1 which still are working perfectly?

Yikes, the PS3's shoddy manufacturing is slowly coming to light. Other than the cheap solder they used on the board, don't they also have problems with misplaced or crumbling thermal stickers on the GPUs?

Am I the only one who's not into the "teeny-tiny" thing?
