@Theoutlet: Yeah, Dead Space is all right.

@Theoutlet: My thoughts exactly.

@brownfiasco: QTEs are fine if used sparingly and at moments of maximum impact. I liked the QTEs in the God of War series, but not so much in RE4.

@squish123 - disemvoweled by the clown: Nicely stated... and sadly, it's all too true, way too often.

@XForce: You're probably right on that.

@Xagest: Yes, but only to laugh at.

@Xenigma: Both Rufus and this Bob fellow remind me of my roommate.

@Yamagata: Actually, that image of the giant boot is what just sold me on the game. This could be a crazy-ass classic, or it could bomb, but it sure as hell doesn't look boring.

@Zenrick3.0: Yeah, I agree with you 100% on that.

@Rompehamster: I laughed my ass off when the Kratos Kube (sorry!) was fending off the cyclops. Such clunky collision detection, but oh so great!

I have to say, I have a lot of respect for Takahashi. Some may decry him for being too navel-gazing and in some respects, obscurely self-indulgent, but not me. I think the guy has serious balls to try to make a game like Noby Noby Boy, and his reasons for doing so — to make a comment on consumerism and alienation —…

@Thorax: This cracked me up! Comment of the week, in my book.

@Foxstar Sixtail: As some others have said on this thread, not playing Warhawk was your loss.

@zoesch: Why don't you Gobias a cup of coffee?

@NoHoldsBarred: I think the frame rate was actually fixed. Though someone with more play time with the game would have to verify.

@francoamerica: Ha! Well put.

@Anarchist_Gamer: Yeah, with this tanking economy and Take 2's already-weakened stock, I'd say it be a better move for Rockstar to try to sell that stuff — preferably after a release of one of their games. Or, the next GTA IV episodic content, whenever that is...

@HikariOblivion: Yeah, that happened to me last spring, just before GTA IV came out. I was surprised that the disc drive burnt out on me so early (at that time, I had my PS3 for only 7 and a half months).

This guy gets paid money to be an analyst? Of course the PS3 is going to drop in price. It remains to be seen just by how much, but there's no reason to say it won't get a price drop before God of War III ships.
