The only element of the Ninja that is lost today is the subtly and stealth part of their reputation. A ninja never says their a ninja. You don't even know you've encountered a ninja until dead and the killer doesn't say anything. If they say "I'm a ninja," right before they kill you, they're a boastful ninja and…

What do you mean the camera is mounted backwards? The PS Eye watchs the Move sphere to help in tracking. Therefore, the camera has to be facing the player.

It's a nice thought to have fewer consoles, meaning no need to choose between two different systems and versions, allowing players to play all in one network. That's not good for business though. I hate saying that too.

As long as its an ADDITIONAL power, not replacing anything from the last game. I really liked the skill set from the first game. It certainly adds a new level of strategy to gameplay. It's a power that can seem very disruptive in that world.

Gameplay is what matters most. You could have best voice acting and story in the world for a game, but if it plays like shit, nobody will care.

It's tricky when you gaming friends and your tastes don't match. Even when we like the same games, we enjoy them in different ways. It makes it difficult to be in sync on any one particular experience and have everyone enjoy it equally.

Is it Wii Motion Plus required yet? I have theory about the "fun" about casual Wii games.

I think it really comes down to these Christian game developers practicing what they preach. They have to make some good games with Christian influence in metaphor.

That is incredible! Seems like we may have found a common bond in interests. That, or the games were marketed exceedingly well in Japan.

I'm not getting bent out of shape over this. I personally believe he was just pandering to the female audience. Also, they cut away right after their statement, so its not like they were discussing the subject in detail.

I think they'd stand to make more money since at a cheaper price point more people would be willing to buy the game. I see the way people act when there are game sales at retail shops. Deals like "Buy 2, get the 3rd free" have people buying 3-6 $50-60 games at a time.

That's fine. I never played the original on PS2 so it's a brand new experience for me. Symphonia demonstrated to me that the Tales games are more forward thinking RPGs than Final Fantasy and that's why I like it. Battle system, character interaction, dungeon design with puzzles, all this I find enjoyable.

What's really sad is that there are mostly FPS's and not really anything else FP.

Most anime styles rely on a certain facial default. It's ideal beauty. However, there are anime styles that do break the trends and have real facial differentiation.

They already have. They just aren't considered Triple-A material anymore. Most platformers these days are digital titles. Ms. Splosion Man is the next big platformer on digital. Limbo was a major puzzle-platformer.

This is excellent! Now, if we ever need the ISO for a rare PS2 game, we know exactly who to talk to.

My friends and I still get use out of the Wii through Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I still have like 4 games I own that I've yet to play on it with roughly 3 others I'd like to get to as well, plus Zelda Skyward Sword.

Very possible. I considered this too, but that scenario is one of abusing the possibility.

True, but lowering the retail price also lowers the trade value. Gamestop will have to offer less to the consumer when taking in a used copy. Therefore, if retail prices are low enough, trade value may become insignificant enough to discourage trading in games.

It's a shame that unique character/monster concepts like the one's found here aren't seen as often in bigger budget games.
