@Mark Vincent N. Cocjin: Well played.

@Armuun: Dammit what? You sound spoiled and/or too easily bored. Maybe you can go outside then instead of collecting dust on your sofa.

June's the biggest gaming month for me in a while: SSF4AE and Duke Nukem Forever. I'll be set til Skyrim. Fuck yeah.

@AgamemnonV2: Amen.

@FirebirdXR: Haha, cole slaw. That's pretty good.

@Bubbleman! Kotaku's #1 most-hated (apparently): Beef jerky is full of protein and sodium, so unless you're sedentary and don't drink water, it's extremely beneficial to the body. When I was in 130-degree Iraq for a year, all I consumed in the field was copious amounts beef jerky and water, period. The water kept…

I think they'll have four shoulder buttons so that multiplatform games are more likely to also be on their console and won't have any control differences outside of touchscreen extras.

I'm betting that by saying eight buttons he's not counting Start or Select.

Ah, where'd my comment go?

I'm in the "get better or get out" camp. If you expect a game to hand you a win then you should stick to Zynga tripe.

Gaming has always been for everyone. It's only recently that everyone has started to recognize gaming.

@LordObento: That whole initial storyline pitch was scrapped by Boon so that the web series would actually tell a Mortal Kombat story without all the needless liberties taken.

Great post. Thanks for clearly stating your points.

An Easy mode exists in most games. This doesn't inherently bother me. What bothers me is when people can skip entire chunks of gameplay just because they suck at the game. If you suck then get better or play something else. If you're making no headway in a game that intrigues you, casual gamer or not, then if…

So, idiots who can't be bothered to be challenged by this game can just skip whatever action parts they want? Then what's the point? My interest in this game just plummeted to "bargain bin purchase" levels. I'm so tired of all this hand-holding that goes on in games nowadays. It's just too much.

Yeah, unless they can somehow make the entire 3D screen a sweet spot this isn't gonna quite work out. Ditch the gyroscopic nonsense and just give us Starfox 64 Master Quest or whatever. I'll buy it.

@Dethzilla: Um, sorry, but Nintendo OBLITERATED Sony and Microsoft in this round of console wars. And now they're simply reloading.

In the USA you can say whatever you want. It's something that many have died defending. All subjects are within our rights to convey publicly. But I would strongly urge the people as a whole, in situations like this, to rave about the positive things and stifle the negative things with silence. The exception is…

Ah, Sexy Beast . . . . that was a good-ass movie.
