This is so awesome. The indie XNA community is full of heroes.

@Jordan White: Actually there's plenty to suggest that the Wii is secondary to most people who own one, even the ones who don't own anything else. Look at attach rates for the console relative to its competition. Look at the articles published about Nintendo's own findings when they polled web-connected Wiis to see…

@Jordan White: I'm not going to focus much on how utterly foolish it is to make a statement like it's a monster in terms of content when talking about a handheld that doesn't yet exist in the wild. There is no launch lineup confirmed yet, and there isn't even a non-generalised western release date for the 3DS itself…

The App Store has a lot of stuff... a lot more than the Android Market. But the Market has a twenty-four hour window for returns to prevent this exact type of scam. Apple needs to copy that feature immediately. Developers of crap like this deserve all the vitriol they receive.

I'm glad the four people on Earth who didn't previously have the means to play Angry Birds can now enjoy the phenomenon, but this is comical saturation. I just hope they do something innovative with the upcoming multiplayer and make it so 360 players and WP7 gamers can play against each other cross-platform style.

I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully Kmart will have a great deal on it as a new release like always.

@Soul Owned: That's an interesting supposition, and I don't necessarily disagree. The only confusing thing to me is this: if Nintendo are content to be everyone's secondary console for another generation, what's the rush? The Wii's behind-the-times-since-it-was-released hardware is certainly adequate now if it ever…

@booniebrew: The problem is that if Nintendo goes first, they've got to create a console compelling enough to keep the audience's interest when the competitors come out. By my thinking, there are two ways to accomplish this: with hardware advanced enough (and therefore compelling enough) to set the pace for the…

@Jordan White: I'm impressed. That might be the single most ill-considered comment I've ever heard. Greater connectivity options and improved specs aside, the only thing that makes the 3DS a truly noteworthy successor to the DS is the glasses-free 3D screen, which is most certainly not going to be a factor in…

I just don't see it. The first competitor out of the gate has to be able to hold off the other two when they invariably show up, and recent history (the 360 this generation, and the PS2 last and yes, I'm writing the Dreamcast out of that generation because Sega wasn't able to give it a fair chance to succeed) suggests…

I'm not surprised that Kinect isn't that expensive on a per-unit basis, especially considering they removed the internal processing unit. And I'm OK with that— $500,000,000 is an awfully large marketing investment and I understand they want to recoup a bit of that.

That's terribly sad. What a waste. Some people are just stupid and evil.

Dear publishers,

Kyle Katarn! And Louis! And even love for Marathon! This is such a great list. Only needs Chakan, the Forever Man.

@Illundiel: If you believe the article, these are clips from the first half, and Xenophilius is in one of these clips, so...

It's really nice. I just wish we could agree on one multiplatform messaging solution— Whatsapp, Kik, Meebo, whatever— so it would actually be useful. I like this app, but I would choose whichever one wins the day.

@limitless.opportunity: ATT is currently sitting at the same 7.2Mb/s threshold as T-Mobile's first-gen HSPA+ service... AT&T is upgrading to HSPA+ 14.4, while T-Mobile is rolling out 21.7. Earlier this year, the N900 was also experiencing spikes over its stated draw; I assume it has something to do with T-Mobile…

@nick1016: The only downside of the HD7 is that the first-gen Snapdragon that Microsoft mandated in all launch WP7 devices does not enjoy support for T-Mobile's full HSPA+ network (HSPA = 7.2Mb/s theoretical max, HSPA+ on T-Mobile = 21.7 Mb/s theoretical max). So you've got a great WP7 device— arguably the best of the…

@MrGOH: I agree with that notion, although I was referring primarily to have a visually continuous series leading up to God Emperor. I don't have much interest in what comes after it, but I'd love to see a coherent statement of the buildup.

@MrGOH: I really want to see that, but I'd really like to see it in the context of the larger series.
