I like how every one of the tanks is firing at exactly the same time.

As long as people keep buying the games, TT doesn't really have any incentive to fix the problems. If they start selling poorly enough, they'll have to fix things in order to attract people back to the franchise.

So no San Francisco Noire then?

No. But a separate company did make a standalone Ocarina you could buy and then advertised it in Nintendo Power. And yes, they look a hell of a lot better than this one:

Seems like it. Considering how big a deal Monster Hunter is, it coming to the PS3 is big news.

When I picked up Okami Den, they gave me the pre-order brush stylus for free because only one person pre-ordered the game at their store. It's big, bulky, and kinda silly looking, but it's actually pretty fun to use.

I don't think it's so much aimed at consumers as it is at retailers. Each retailer likes having an 'exclusive' hook it can use to try to get people to buy the game at their store, and this gives it to them. I've always assumed that the chains pay the publishers for this exclusive content - though using the exclusive…

Yeah, you don't have to pay if they force you to change your name.

Pretty sure The Escapist had a video of Lisa playing this game back at GDC...

Back in the day I had a Gameboy Color. About 15 months after getting it I was playing Mario Golf when the system suddenly shut itself off. After about half an hour of changing batteries, games, and cleaning the contacts, I decided I had a busted unit. I called Nintendo, and even though my unit was outside of the…

And make sure you watch those bees!

You have to make sure you use very different colors for this system though, as lighting changes could otherwise cause the software to mistake one color for another. So realistically, you're probably limited to around a dozen unique colors in this system. Which is still a decent number I suppose.

Why do you have to hate him? Can't you be mature and say, "congratulations?"

I went back and played through this again not too long ago, and I have to admit, I had forgotten just how good this game actually is. Definitely top of the class in SNES RPGs.

I like playing TF2 on PC for its team-based gameplay and fun atmosphere. Would I enjoy Brink?

Publishers don't host the online games. Microsoft and Sony do that. That's why MS can charge $60 a year for Live.

Because I'm boycotting any and all games that do this. I refuse to allow publishers to take away my rights to a product I legally bought.

I buy new. Or at least I used to. The rate this trend is going, I might not be able to buy any games anymore. And that makes me sad.

I'm with rebelphoenix1983 on this one. Refusing to buy games that do this is the only way we'll ever get the publishers to stop it.

Or if you want to play it at a friend's house.
