Now if only they could make a keyboard that doesn't look so gaudy. For as good as their peripherals are from a functionality standpoint, most of their stuff looks like it was designed to resemble a can of Monster and it bugs me to no end.

Holy shit!

You're missing the point of the game. The whole thing is about player interaction, and as far as that goes, this is one of the better ones. If you're playing this like CoD or Battlefield then you're doing it wrong. Let's also ignore the fact that the devs are putting in anti- combat logging measures.

This first effort from Dontnod Entertainment clearly needed more time in the oven but I was wholly won over by the fantastic world-building and overarching conceit in Remember Me.

This isn't strategy—it's a glorified version of rock-paper-scissors. To beat the game, you just have to make sure you've got the right Pokémon at the right time. Your preparation before a battle is significantly more important than any decisions you make within that battle, because as long as you have the right…

There's this other idea that everything is better once Smooth McGroove does his own version of it. The evidence speaks for itself.

That NES title screen uses more colors than the NES can produce...

No, they get Japanese tattoos, too. Japan uses different kanji from the mainland.

Gotta say, I'm disappointed none of the Monster Hunter games made the list. I probably played MHF2 the most, but I liked MHFU the best (basically just an expansion to F2).
