Environmentalist themes don't necessarily mean humans are bad. They never show humans as expressly evil. Just about all their characters have redeeming qualities and realistic motivations.

"and the themes are generally the same (people suck, nature's great)."

Maybe because they've made some of the most beloved, well-received animated movies of all time.

I think that's kind-of what he meant. Portal had more possible surfaces to work with, so it took a bit more fiddling.

Probably can, but GFWL's most likely the platform they use for online play, so you'll be missing out.

Oh wow. Those related stories.

...And just as I forgot about this tool.

Oh man, that Unit 01.

Isn't there plenty of tower defense on iOS?

It's not day one, though, it's specifically preorder.

No, it's a preorder bonus. It's to encourage buying blindly.

Technically can't be considered a booth babe if she's not working at a booth. Plenty of professional cosplayers get commissions like this. They're still just cosplayers. Would it be much different if a fan decided to cosplay that character? They'd still be promoting the game in the same way, just not paid to do so.

I get their stance on booth babes, but she was a cosplayer, and honestly, that outfit isn't that revealing compared to what some cosplayers wear to other cons.

The Beatles are probably the least overrated pop band, actually. Many common effects and studio recording techniques can be attributed to them. As far as recording tech pioneering goes, they were at the bleeding edge of innovation and definitely did a lot more for music as a whole than any other recording artist in…

I don't know about that. I didn't exactly find it all that different 70 hours in, and I can't really think of an RPG that'll offer a completely different experience between the 35 hour mark and the 70 hour mark.

Reviewers rarely play huge RPGs all the way through. I mean, at least not for their review - what they do on their free time is their business, but review deadlines aren't always lax enough to allow for that.

Didn't realize opinion turns to fact when GI, IGN and Gamespot agree on it.

Relic, Volition and Vigil are owned by THQ, so the IPs would be theirs.

"I guess the reason people are calling it an evolution is because for JRPGs, such an active battle system that encourages positioning and use of certain skills (can't say much else without spoilers) IS an evolution."

I agree that SD video looks fine on CRT displays, but not everyone keeps a CRT around. They're heavy, take up space and most of the content I enjoy these days is in HD, so it was hard for me to rationalize keeping one around with the limited storage space in my apartment for the sole purpose of playing the odd Wii…
