At no point did I say Blizzard bought Activision. I said Blizzard's parent company, Vivendi, bought Activision, which is exactly how that buyout occurred. Blizzard was still answerable to Vivendi before Activision and any contracts they had in place with Vivendi would not have changed just because Vivendi bought…

A merger generally involves one party purchasing another. Like when GameStop and EB "merged" GameStop purchased EB and over time rebranded all the US stores to GameStops, and kept EB in Canada and other territories because it had more name recognition there. The people in charge of GameStop retained control. That's…

Is this why Marty got fired?

He WAS fired. I don't know if they're a sinking ship, but he wasn't the first to go either. Joe Staten who had been a pretty higher up guy there FOREVER, or at least since the Myth days left the company earlier last year and took a job in Microsoft's game division.

Not only is that false, but if anyone has more leverage for control in this situation it's Blizzard. Blizzard still has the same parent company it has had since forever(Vivendi), for as long as they've been called Blizzard at least. This Blizzard parent company purchased Activision. Blizzard is in the same situation…

Not quite right. Eastman and Laird had a hard time working together in the late 90's due to various stresses and mainly just running a giant multi-million dollar empire together so hard for so long (and possibly due to Kevin loosing a ton of money opening a second comic publishing company called Tundra in an attempt…

What in heaven's name are you talking about?

It wasn't really a noir comic per-se. Your point is not wrong, and stands, but just for clarity's sake, it was a noir parody comic at the start.

Surprisingly this trailer doesn't worry me as much as I thought it would. I'm not thrilled with Megan Fox's acting abilities, so her in the movie is still not a plus, but the actual designs of the turtles looks a bit better than I anticipated. Eastman and Laird were always pretty open to other creators doing…

I dunno, I'm sure it's different in different areas, but I worked at Target about 6 years and have been at GameStop for the last 10 and while I was at Target we sold the occasional handheld game to an adult buying for themselves but well over 90% of the handheld game sales we sold were for kids. At GameStop our…

Yeah, it being available digitally, but every GameStop in my metro area is out of it. I did see it at Target, but to be honest, a game like that on DS or Vita is probably going to sell more to a GameStop audience, as most of the customers looking for 3DS or Vita games at Target seem to be looking for their kids. But…

This wasn't exclusive as it was also on the 3DS as well.

I purchased the physical game for 3DS and never had the problems the other reply to your comment speaks of. The character models are a little round with some pretty low rez textures and low polygon models, but everything else worked fine for me. I finished the game without any bugs or noticeable frame rate issues. Not…

It also doesn't help that a lot of game stores I know got only one or two copies, sold those, and never ever received any copies again. Not that having it in stock would have set the sales charts on fire or anything, but you can't sell what you don't have. When I eventually got around to buying it for my 3DS I had to…

I think they clarified to state that it's an idie title though. Not that that's bad, but not anything anyone's going to recognize.

Oh, no I believe it is. It seems awesome and well made and worth full price as much as most any game, but for my playing habits and what I REALLY sink time into and how much time I will actually probably be able to get out of this right now, I just can't justify personally spending full price. When it's cheaper…

Any tips on what makes it PG vs G rated? I want to take my five-year-old who loves Legos (not sure on the 3-year-old even sitting through a movie at a theater yet, maybe), but, being five, sometimes the oddest things are scary to him.

This'll be the third game I'll have purchased on my XB1 and I've yet to be able to purchase anything I want on a physical disc between this, Spartan Assault and Killer Instinct. I kind of want Dead Rising 3 and Tomb Raider, but not enough to buy them at full price. I would actually prefer to have these games on disc,…

Not true. Phantom Menace was still on film. Episode 2 was the first digitally filmed movie.

I can't imagine a company with 10 billion dollars and liquid cash and something like 6 billion in property and assets being too likely to go bankrupt any time soon.
