@Blastarr: Ditto, all of it.
@Blastarr: Ditto, all of it.
Already doing it too, for about six months now. Instead of Boxee, I use PlayOn, a wonderful program that streams everything to the 360. So my 360 is even more essential than this couple's.
@Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: Yes. I worked very hard for that star by... I have no idea how I got that. Does that prohibit me from irrationally and unnecessarily complaining about things on the Internet? You responded to my crying, after all— maybe the question is, how did you get your star?
It's criminal of Kotaku to give you this forum. It amateurizes what is an otherwise quality professional publication.
@HarlequinRiot: You're right. And in that case, the statement is missing an adjective, and is still wrong. Why do I have to be the grammar prick?
@Bloodoflamb: No: "one of the most violent crime rates on earth." Crime rates can't be violent. They can be high. They can measure the incident of violent crime. But in and of themselves, crime rates can't be violent.
That could have been funny. It's a shame they outsourced the comedy (and grammar) to a twelve-year-old.
...And you can punch dinosaurs in the face. Game over.
I've played them both three times through and I'm still giddy as a schoolgirl for this. #godofwarcollection
At least it's good to see a well respected critic of something other than games write about them in a sophisticated way. #guitarhero
I think the most analogous situation to a sports game winning a GOTY award would be a documentary winning the Oscar for best picture. There's no reason a documentary couldn't win best picture; they're certainly not barred from the category. But the form just isn't one that critics and voters consider appropriate for…
@halfthought: I wouldn't doubt it. Got to be a reason they got away with breaking embargo on the review, when every other U.S.-based reviewer has to wait until 12:01 am. Then again, the review reads like it's written by a nine-year-old, so who knows. #daynote
I'm such a sucker— the combination of the three perfect scores so far on Metacritic and Amazon's $20 credit made me impulse buy, even after I swore for months I wasn't really interested. Damn capitalism. #daynote
I think he's right. Think about the Wii's install base. And think about all those soccer moms who recognize a single game character. Mario's brand recognition trumps CoD's. MW2 will blow Mario away among the hardcore crowd, but it's not the hardcore crowd that has been driving Wii sales for the last three years. #n…
I find the interface to be a little more clumsy than the 360 version. You can't really see far ahead on the lists, and the lists scroll much more slowly. The whole UI just seems slower, but that might be because my PS3 connects wirelessly and my 360 is hardwired. Still, one way or another, nice to have, especially…
@Andrew Freedman: "Politically correct" has a negative connotation, implying that companies have to walk on eggshells so as not to offend the touchy sensibilities of overly litigious minority groups. This isn't a question of political correctness. They just used the word "fags" in an official advertisement, did…
@Modus_Operandi: Agreed. The acronym was probably totally unnecessary, and definitely offensive. But hey, it's not like we don't know who the target audience for MW2 is. #nsfw
The prices for the PSP games are criminal. $20 for GTA: LCS? You could snag it used in a Gamestop bargain bin for $5. PSN needs some weekly deals, a la Steam. #playstationstore
"Their cute fascination with guns and/or my Americanism is actually racism."
Absolutely loved the first one. Appealed to the 6-year-old in me who wanted to grow up to be Indiana Jones.
