Grenade out! Very funny, I have to check this series out.

Are you kidding? They were a stroke of genius. I need to think harder for some more.

Nintendo has never disappointed me with their hand-held consoles. I have spent so much time gaming on my 3DS, what with Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link etc. I'm hoping a system selling game hits the Wii U; it certainly needs great software.

I fall into the camp of those who are saying "it all looks the same or nearly so." Graphics are great, and who doesn't like seeing a great big graphical leap from one generation to the next, but what about the games? I need to see something that sells me the system! I need to be compelled to give you my money!

It's like a Cho Aniki spin-off!

But Prime is real...real bad-ass! Zing! Seriously though, that mech is an amazing bit of work.

The Dreamcast did not have a "very poor launch." There was a very successful campaign leading up to September 9th, 1999. That system also launched with a number of very well-received games, including Soul Caliber, which was met with high praise then. You might be thinking of the Saturn, which had a very tragic…

I've found that on my pc, all I have to do to get to the desktop from the start screen is hit the 'ESC' key.

This article is wonderful! It makes me feel that Microsoft should have just named it 'Windows' instead of tacking on the 8. Going from Vista to 7 was an upgrade; moving to Windows 8 is more like learning a new operating system. Change is good, in my opinion.
