@senselocke: Considering that PS2 games never looked that great on my HDTV w/ my BC PS3, why on earth does it matter? I have a launch PS2 upstairs that I can use for my PS2 games and doesn't make them look like crap. Seriously, try it out. The graphics on a BC PS3 are so terrible they detract from the gameplay. If you…

Even though it continues to rack up impressive numbers, Nintendo still hasn't announced a new Wii Fire Emblem, which is pathetic. With all the new games they have coming out continuing old IPs, you think they could have Intelligent Systems at least do a level pack for Radiant Dawn featuring the good scenarios (defense…

@Rakchief: Flower and R&C are examples of not obvious American games. And Demon's Souls and Ico, while popular here in the West, were both created by Japanese devs.

Most of the time, American games have a big, blockbuster movie like feel. That makes perfect sense considering that our movie industry has perfected the blockbuster and a well done one (sometimes even a subpar film) makes lots of domestic cash. There's also a sense of patriotism and something worth fighting for,…

@Sean Beattie: Uncharted 2 being the best example of this we've seen in a long time.

@ifandbut: So was my Blur code.

Anybody commenting play LoU Server 3? Have you noticed Bloodsworn's massive leap in the rankings (from I believe what was 6 to now 2)? I'm looking for a coalition to help take these guys out as they grew by merging with my alliance's (NWA) worst enemies, Renovatio. I'm IkeFE in game, shoot me a message or add me in…

@sackboy14: The DLC's technically still unconfirmed. But if it costs under $10, I will eat my hat. This is Activision after all.

@ifandbut: Best Buy for some reason always gives out their preorder codes in regular retail copies (Blur being a big example w/ the Viper).

@Neko_Tech: Exactly. My connection's been mostly stable, but I've heard of plenty of people having problems, and the glitchers affect everyone.

@AncientUnknown1: No offense to women (aka I don't want the Jezebel commenters all over me) but I really don't care about women's sports. Nice technicality though.

@PBR: Image probably isn't working but let's give it a shot.

@Bcoolbyte: This is true. Best America's ever gotten is third. [en.wikipedia.org]

@chaos_isnt_here: How high were you?

@Neko_Tech: Plus there's all of 500 people on Blur MP at most times. Most I've seen at one time is 1000. Along with the glitchers...Activision makes great MP, but we should ask for the basics to be covered, ya know?

Blur MP question: is there a prestige esque mode? And if there is, what level does it unlock at?

@INB4DUKAKIS: Coming out as DLC according to the GI cover story on it last year.

@Baconrath: I was thinking the same thing when I was playing Blur this morning.

@madammina: Braid or SotN.

@vanillakokakola: Yeah, I play it on my Macbook, so I have to do netbook mode. Still a great game though.
