To Anita's defense, enabling comments in her case would only allow a variety of shit-posting and insane amounts of exaggerated vitriol from a cross-section of some of the internet's finest and brightest cretins. She is little obnoxious at times, but hardly deserving of the ridiculous ad hominems and threats she has…

I hope there are even more pop culture references and forced, contrived moments of awkwardness for me to laugh at in my darkened room. They should keep with their trend of introducing new characters with the hilarious, "he/she's.... uh.... well, you know.... unique." I can't get enough of that goddamn I always laugh…

I think there's a difference between complexity and depth, and a lot of time this boils down to presentation. JRPGs have a fetish for collapsible text-heavy menus and tons of numbers, gating mechanics like point allotments and slots, as well as an assortment of acronyms to trademark their systems, but that's depth…

Back in the day, I whined and begged my parents to get me a Playstation so I could play FFVII, Wild Arms, and later, Tales of Destiny. Now, I can't stand JRPGs.

This ship looks thrilled at the prospect of saving money.

I hear they're going to be unveiling a Director's Cut of Agni's Philosophy. Also, reveal of website that teases date for teaser trailer of something tangentially related to Kingdom Hearts/The World Ends With You/Seiken Densetsu/Fuck You Fanboys.

You hit the nail on the head in terms of sales and how much they help "B"-grade games, ie. good to great games that end up getting left to die in obscurity. I wish I could name the countless games I normally wouldn't have otherwise picked up during Steam daily, weekly, and holiday sales. These games are all digital,…

Cool article, welcome to Kotaku.

Spoiler:

Wow, so Call of Duty is letting you play as a dog, but still no playable female characters in sight. Great going, industry.

Hey Katie, it's cool of you to at least address these dissenting viewpoints, but keep in mind the reason spokespeople from the ESA and Bungie declined to contribute to your special was because they knew, given the content and tone of your show, that the topic was a loaded one to begin with. It's an argument that they…

I wouldn't say I'm cautious, but I remain skeptical in hopes of being pleasantly surprised. I've come to find that it's the small things I wasn't expecting in a game with much pre-release hype that always end up being the most memorable.

See that? All the way down yonder? Yep.

The problem with review scores is that they, unlike movie, music, and book reviews, fulfill so many different roles to so many different people:

Warren Spector was talking more about the publisher-developer relationship and how Metacritic comes into play. What you're talking about, the same can also be said about Amazon, as well. It becomes a platform for people to air their grievances, justified or not. I agree with you that ME3 was a solid game, and that…

Uh-huh.

Yup.

What everyone else already said. Also, henceforth, I hope you comment on every article on this site going forward. You are the type of commenter I only but dared to dream about.

Monaco is more Pac-Man than this latest iteration.

Monopoly is a classic game in the same way Kenny G is classic jazz; classic status by default due to how ubiquitous it is, or they are. The game is fun in the beginning, but at the end it all falls apart with everyone trying to get thrown into jail to avoid landing on other people's properties.
