Deserved winner. Very smart.

But vanilla isn't just some arbituary word, it is a thing. Plain ice cream doesn't have vanilla pods in it, vanilla ice cream does. Therefore, not plain.

Why do people think "vanilla" means "plain"? It doesn't. Vanilla is most definitely a flavour.

It's a number. A quantifiable way to back up an argument over which console is better than the other.

They explicitly said "poses". In that context they do look very similar.

You're assuming the likes of Sumo Digital haven't made a solid, stable game worthy of playing without the need for any updates or DLC. Just because it hasn't got the post-release support of the current-gen version, doesn't mean it isn't worth buying and playing.

The original Return of the King game was a solid hack-n-slash. A good example of a good movie tie-in.

My, that seems horribly underhanded.

So Sony screw up, and yet Microsoft still gets blamed? Ah, internet. Never change.

Come again?

Well that headline was a touch misleading!

The other rules are fair enough, but this one? All I can think is that said target should just man up and get over it.

Sounds like a fun game...

I was very bored of The Matrix after Reloaded. That's why I actually loved Revolutions. Less of the rubbish going on in the Matrix, and much more of the cool "real world" stuff, like the awesome and terrifying battle for the dock.

Or as Ballmer calls it, pocket change.

Wasn't his share of Mojang 70%ish?

Go in with low expectations?

Game design doesn't need to be intricate to be fun. Who cares how it gets there, whether its ingenious development or an iteration of an existing idea. The end product is all that matters, and if people enjoy it the platform/games have been successful. Fun is what gaming is all about, after all.

Ah, the old "proved me wrong, so I'll move the goal posts" argument ;-)

Fruit Ninja Kinect was way better than the pretty great Dance Central games. That's not rhythm or music-based.
