No. He is know for being a very smart guy and having a fairly high IQ, but that's not enough to beat the world chess champion, obviously.

That was issue #9. Why do I remember that? Because I bought that issue -among others- thinking that it had art by Alan Davis, whom I started to collect at that time. He's still one of my favorite artists and he did the art on a few issues, but not this one. Also, sorry Alan Moore, I bought Marvelman because of the guy…

According to some studies it's actually around 35, even. And I'm still older than the average.

Marvelman was already hard to find back in the late 80s and I can't only imagine people trying to buy them more recently.

There's not a lot of Japanese developers left with the budget to develop AA and AAA games, so we're bound to get mostly B-level Japanese games, and hopefully some Japanese indie titles in the mix.

I'd be more worried about how our writing levels have dropped.

You're right about SourceNext porting RE to PC (or more likely them outsourcing the port to some Chinese developer) but Zone of the Enders is a Konami game...

I have never played Xenogears (I know!) and so I never actually knew what the games were all about. Now, thanks to Lore, I do. A hamster on a cross, eh? Okay…

Ignoring what? I thought we agreed that the guys that are not happy with Angry Birds' success today would have been on the hate bandwagon when Mario was at the height of its popularity 20 years ago.

More users on iOS? The developer are iOS users themselves? Android fragmentation makes development difficult?

You need to watch the game's intro, and then go play it. Right now. Sure, Chrono Trigger and FFVI were nice games, but Secret of Mana. Seriously.

Yep, your party is made of 3 characters (including yourself) and the 2 others can be played by the CPU or by 2 other friends (you'd need the SNES Multitap and 2 other controllers natch). This game was so ahead of its time, it's not even funny.

One of my favorite Squaresoft game ever. That intro is just amazing.

According to a report on Gamezebo, letters are already being sent to developers on Apple's App Store whose game has the word "Candy" in its name. Even if that word is literally the only thing it has in common with King's money-making juggernaut.

Another good excuse to post screenshots from the best game ever, Just Cause 2.

No love for Crysis?

Just noticed your comments in the other threads, and just wanted to put this out there: Are you sure that the people complaining about Angry Birds now wouldn't have complained back when Mario was getting that treatment?

It is a bit more than one (but not that much) but like I said, Nintendo has been around for over a century, and 40 years making video games; on top of that their biggest franchises were created in the early days of the game industry, when Nintendo had an 80% share of the home video-game market.

You mean that before 2007, Japanese feature phones were technologically superior to BlackBerrys, Windows CE and Symbian powered smartphones? Maybe they had nicer screens, but in terms of functionality, they weren't even close.

Japanese studios make pretty good CGI animated films but I've never seen any good CG in a Japanese live-action movie.
