"I know how to play the game. Let me play it."

Given the way the rest of the post is constructed, I don't think this is intended to mean telling the woman to grow up simply because of her gender.

I see what you did there. :-D

This sounds like the sort of thing that almost makes me want a Vita. Thanks for your detailed review. I loved the demo I played in a store a little while before the Vita actually hit shelves.

I can imagine it being at least somewhat similar to 300, and as much as I can't stand Kratos, I think Snyder would do it well.

You could just use Gmail instead of Facebook or Twitter. I can definitely understand wanting to talk to the editors more in comments.

I would have been more impressed if the game hadn't gone from being a really interesting sandbox game to what seems like a less-than-standard third-person shooter in which the magic phone doesn't even matter anymore.

I would imagine that the Gawker-wide site revamp of a few years ago, the possible spreading of the awfully unintuitive new Gawker comment system (it looks like an extremely zoomed-in version of a folder hierarchy), the departure of Brian Crecente and the arrival of a bunch of new writers at once, and the sharp…

It was neat to see one article covering articles as diverse as games in Argentina, F-Zero, the…

Is it just me, or do fewer people participate in these Open Threads when there aren't "half a dozen links from wherever" to serve as miniature conversation starters as opposed to one big one? This kind of reminds me of what the old miniature Speak-Ups used to be like, actually.

"BOTTOM LINE: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend"

Legends say men have lost their lives on that chair! (No, really.)

I do not know what kind of mind created that first picture—but it's freaking awesome.

Thanks much! Maybe I'll check these out!
