Instead of responding to the whole thing, I'll home in on one point: the Shadow of the Colossus bit. Do you really feel that Wander was tricked? One of the wonderful things about Team Ico's deliberate ambiguity is that two different people can pull a totally different experience out of the game based on their own…

I never said Avatar was "movie of the year", it's just a very popular movie to hate because of all the hype, much like Uncharted. I AM saying that it was a great movie, something that both ticket sales and critic reviews will back me up on. Avatar wouldn't even place in my top 50, but anyone who says it's any less…

I bet the people hating on inarguable-game-of-the-year Uncharted 2 are the same people that hate on Avatar for A) being popular or B) borrowing elements from many other stories, oblivious to the fact that the contents of a story are FAR less important than the delivery/execution.

Hm, I've never once thought of Fran as being black, weird.

It's actually in the song above; I barely caught it. Happens just a little past the 2:00 mark.

Not too bad, but not really elevated beyond it's gimmick to be honest; I heard some great FF reference rhymes in there though. "I read XIII chapters" knocked me out.

Hold on just a fucking second here guys; this week's top release isn't even mentioned up there.

Wow, after following the link, I can safely say that the costume looks terrible.

I'm not sure if you're being serious here or not. Please help :(

Wow, I was a little surprised about that PSN quote based on all other things I've read, so I followed the link and read some of the comments, and others developers seriously REAMED this guy for saying this.

Just going to do some shameless self-promotion of my Tumblr page here.

Wow wow Wubbzy you guys are being dramatic about this. I can just take solace in the fact that this is the internet, and people in the real world will not actually give a shit about this, just like the removal of Linux.

I've said this before, but I literally defeated every boss (including the final one) with the stun gun. They all still died though, but it was hilariously easy.

In the shooter department for sure, but I think the only thing Japan is regularly panned on is having bad, outdated interfaces/menus and either having REALLY innovative games or entirely innovation-less ones.

Just to confuse you further, I'll tell you that 3 is the most critically acclaimed Suikoden, with part 2 being the fan favorite. 4 is the most lackluster, and 5 is pretty darn good, though lacks the charm of the originals, no doubt because the original writer/director/creator left towards the end of 3.

Holy shit, my Serra Angels are "female"? I had no idea.

God, I would promote this if I could. So sad but true.

I'm curious as well. I felt like hot shit for not falling for that trick, but now I'm not so sure that it would even let you.

I defeated every single boss with the stun gun. Very easily, I might add.

Exactly, same here.
