I generally don't play games on my iPhone. However I just got a new iPhone so I decided to check out the games again. Downloaded a few of the most popular (free) ones. All of them played shitty, loud, unexpected commercials every 30 seconds or so, in addition to the perpetual banner ad at the bottom of the screen. All…

That's true too. Nintendo is just the first thing to come to mind for many of us as it's a huge cultural icon, much like Pixar. If I had to argue what the Pixar of the game industry is (meaning there can only be one), I would argue that it's Nintendo - though of course there are plenty of other developers who make…

What is the equivalent of a Pixar film in the video game industry, where adults and kids can have fun together?

The Wii U is a piece of crap? I wish you had told me that before I bought one :/

I'm with you on this. It's actually really nice that the developer puts out different products for different markets and prices them accordingly. As long as the Wii U version isn't lacking for any other reasons, $50 sounds like a good deal to me.

god link is such a cutie

I wrote on TAY that I was surprised Kotaku hadn't covered this game. I'm glad that you finally did, but I think there's much much more to talk about. Like the implications of a game that parodies game addiction while also being the most addicting game you've ever played. Or the fact that in two weeks a french kid…

Why does everyone love to shit on Randy Newman? Where does that come from? I don't know much about him, but I love"You've got a friend in me".

He didn't blame GTA, per se. He simply made the (unsettlingly) direct statement that he "wanted to see what it would be like" to play GTA in real life.

True. (Also not saying they're excused for making the terrible decision to license their characters out to a shitty 3rd party).

The MTV article probably should've mentioned that the Zelda CD-i games were developed by "Animation Magic" and produced by Philips. If you read the article without knowing that already, you would think Nintendo created "two of the worst games ever released. On any system. Ever." which probably isn't great for…

Why would your trainer look like you? Why would her weight be tied to your weight? She's meant to be an image of health, something to aspire to.

I don't see how they're "taking advantage" by offering more flexible price models that let you pay only for what you want. I think the prices are too high but that's a separate issue - the way they're distributing this software makes sense for this title and is good for the customer.

Same, because I wanted it in white to match my white Wii remotes. Spent like $50 on a 500GB external drive and little Y-cable so it can run off the 2 USB ports, rather than having to plug it into the wall.

How does it work though? Do you turn the gamepad around and point it at yourself? Or do you press a button to switch to "selfie" mode?

I've been ignoring this whole debacle all this time, but I finally caved. I googled "Dickwolves". And I read this, the first article that came up:

If for some reason your company absolutely requires "the absolute latest technology and applications", for new more specific reason than "because it's the latest", then fine. You can gripe about your old phone became obsolete because a new phone was released. Although I think in a situation like that your company…

We weren't talking about the concept video, we were just responding to Kirk's off-the-cuff comment about how "Apple (or whoever) reveals a newer phone with the newer! bester! features! and your phone becomes obsolete."

Those are pretty nice. You're not just promoting your own shop are you?
