So a while back I got my hands on a PS3 and all I had was my little colour tv. The text was all illegible and it got irritating. I wanted something HD but I didn't want to go and get a big TV and even the little TV's seemed unnecessary since I don't watch TV. So what did I buy? A computer monitor. I went out and got a…

@—Core—: But... Did any making go into the love?

This better not hit the arcades. There's enough sweaty dudes leaning on the cabinets the way they are!

It's so sad that the way games are developed ends up leaving an entire sub genre in the dust. The fact is there's just too much work to put into making a game like that now that graphics have caught up with the complexity of simulation and micro management, and then they've both developed so much further. The job now…

@Cjay79: This was about a year ago that we did this. He just told the thing he was from Japan and everything just worked. We went to Home and were surrounded by Japanese people who were very puzzled and some were polite and tried to help us out! Then we went to the store and he started downloading stuff! It was…

I wonder how this new fighting mechanic will be. The old mortal combat games fought so simply. High and low punch, high and low kick, and block, then all the special moves are crazy button combinations. Moving from that to something reinvented sounds tricky. It'll still have to feel like Mortal Kombat to people. In…

@Ninja Nemo: Actually I partially agree with you. Mortal Kombat never felt that mature to me. It had all these little things that were pretty much the game making fun of itself, way too much blood even with punches, toasty guy, all the friendship moves and such... Then again those things were all in the sequels. The…

@DELICIOUS BUNNY: You're going to wake up one morning to see me cross legged on your floor eating that delicious morsel.

@Cjay79: Hah not only that, but if you go into the setup and tell the system which country you're from or rather, lie about which country you're from, you'll get that country's Home and PSN market. My friend downloaded all sorts of Japan only stuff that way.

I'd like to use the phrase armchair parent to describe some of the negative thoughts here but... As an armchair philosopher I like to believe people in the armchairs are actually thinking. Please think it through and read word for word his actions and intentions. There's nothing here that suggests he's going to leave…

Heh, this is one game where I might forgive product placement. "I just want a Pepsi."

@deadkraz: I agree. I like to think they respect us enough to know we get the joke, and everyone else talks down when they explain things the way they do.

@dowingba: For me it felt like a tutorial because of all the hand holding. The gaining abilities over time thing was fine.

@Spycrab!: Hah! Maybe if it's coming out all red!

It's great to see the progress he makes as he goes. At the beginning they were so sloppy and unrecognizable and already they look so professional! Practice practice practice. And he only had to do that once a week. There's time for anything!

Every time a butterfly flaps its wings in my stomach, there's a hurricane in my rectum.

This stuff keeps making me think. Of all the people that say they love games and play them all the time, people like this can actually prove they love games that much. They love them enough to play them with their feet or their palms or mouths if they have to. I can say I love games but the only thing I might try to…

@edcoyle86: The costs are cut in ways we can't really see. Cheaper ways of making things like having less density to the wires and plastics and conducting paths on the board. All the moving parts could be built way more solid. As the old saying goes, they don't make em the way they used to.

@MessiahPrinny: I'm hoping and praying for Vs XIII to be the one that fills the void. It's got airships. Here's hoping there's towns and such!

I don't know the cheapest... But I did recently buy the re release of Final Fantasy on mobile. I've never loved a phone so much as I do now. That was $7 by the way.
