@wompdevil: Agreed. They're scarce and usually shady, but when they have games like Alan Wake and Singularity for $35 at release, it sweetens the deal. If there aren't straight discounts, new releases usually have $20 gaming credit that print after the receipt.

I just don't understand Angry Birds. I'm completely bored after 2 stages. I've paid for a few games, but my down time in queue is still spent with Auditorium, Baron Red Elite, and occasionally Finger Physics. All free, and better than accidentally making eye contact with strangers at the dentist.

These reviews are a bit... misguided to say the least, but Kmart is really trying to revamp it's image for gamers. Although the new reviews are a horrible idea, they have been having some massive sales for new releases the last couple months. I just picked up Peace Walker for $19.99. New deals are posted at their…

@HitBit: I support this message. The only negative used to be that there was no support for the iPhone (because Apple continually releases "updates" that break anything other than iTunes...) 10.04 found my phone and allowed me to sync instantly.

@Baraka_Obama: You should take your own advice, Mr. President.

@mrpibb79: Agreed, that kid brought his A game. I'm sure he saw it coming, but Ricky Ortiz will still wake up sucking a lemon, no doubt.

@d4rk-h4x0rer: No... but it got an English fan translation that works perfectly on US Wiis. Just import the game and play.

@Pikamander2: "The name of the person who submitted the suggestion for the final track title name that is selected, will be included in the "Special Thanks" section of the credits in "Gran Turismo 5"

@jallen: Although it is bad that some people couldn't check out during the sale, promoting customer service complaints is the same as asking Gamestop to never have one of these sales again...

@MrGOH: I agree with this. A lengthy amount of side content is great for those who want to pursue it, but keeping the main story down to that number is more reasonable. Although I hated FFXIII, I thought it did that very well. On the other hand, I love Persona 3, but get annoyed at the 35 hour mark, knowing I have…

@Marcem: Thank you for humoring me.

There are also additional costs to using Gamecube backwards compatibility if you don't already own a Gamecube. The Wii will play the discs, but will not save games or allow use of Wii controllers. You need to purchase a Gamecube controller and memory card. Used, a Wavebird can run $15-30, while an official Nintendo…

When I sat down to play Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction for the first time, I remember thinking that Insomniac was the Pixar of the video game industry.

@erikwoods: Fortunately, hashtags are usually more specific than just sports. You could combine a hashtag that includes the most widely used sports tags, such as kotaku.com/tag/not:2ksports/not:easports/not:football/not:basketball/not:madden/not:fifa etc. If you see another sports related post you could add it. …

@Rutty14: Perhaps, but that isn't its only function. Many people don't like their video game news being littered with that content while at home, either.

And the obligatory all-encompassing guide: [talkamongstyourselves.freeforums.org]

Sometimes, they were hard simply due to horrid game design. Speaking of King's Quest.... I was kind of hoping for a review of The Silver Lining. Has anyone played through the first installment?

19-22 blow my mind. Yeah... we're rich, but we can't be having all kinds of furniture. What the most expensive home in Tokyo really needs is a rug and a beanbag chair.

Majora's Mask portable would be a dream. It doesn't even need to be 3D. In fact, I would probably play it for hours at a time, so I prefer it focus the processing power elsewhere, for the sake of my eyesight.
