Maxis had been dead for a long, long time. I think maybe The Sims was the last actual software toy they made, and arguably The Sims 2 was something else entirely (and probably didn't even involve many of the same folks).

I think The Sims might have actually been their last game, really. It was created with the intention of being a software toy, just like the stuff they did in the early '90s.

Maxis has been dead for at least a decade. Sad but true...

Even after reading that, I'm still not sure if I'd like it or not. That's unusual.

As I downloaded Pregnancy, I wondered what qualified me to tell anyone how to deal with a tragically forced conception. But Pregnancy isn't about telling—it's about trying to understand the plight of a person in that position well enough to be comfortable guiding them towards their own decision.

Update 3/2/2015: Mario & Luigi Dream Team and Bravely Default step aside to make room for The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

Yay, I just bought the Phantasy Star Collection PS2 classic using this guide. Man, that address portion was difficult.

I wonder if it finally feels like a real combat system or if it's still Baldur's Gate's RTS drag and attack mentality. ("But you can pause!")

That's how I've come to feel. That said, I'd probably still buy DQ Heroes if it was on a system I owned. Okay, I definitely would... I am just bitter because I want a single-player DQ XI, DQ VII and Monsters 1 and 2 and Slime 3 on 3DS, and and and and...

Yep, I really liked all the Quest for Glory games, personally (and hey, the 1989 release was called "Hero's Quest"! :P), although I've never played the fifth one.

Kickstarter is the best thing to happen to games in a long time for me. Sure, there are some bumps on the road, but that's all anyone ever talks about: "Kickstarter fatigue" and supposed scams.

Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return was met with much critical acclaim and was decidedly better than the original, but sales were even lower than its predecessor's. Many fans have hoped for Tomba's glorious return to form, or at least a spot on the PlayStation All-Stars roster.

Kind of annoying that the real Dragon Quests (IX and X) get gimped around multiplayer yet this button-masher is single-player!

Not to mention there's not much reason to own a PS4, and it won't even let you play your old PSN stuff for PS3 (of which I still have a massive backlog).

Blah. And now when it sucks and no one buys it, they'll say, "See? They don't like Dragon Quest" and will never release anything ever again.

This RPG looks like it has a really shitty combat system.

That's a shame, because I'd actually like a Mystic Quest remake. Not much of a game, but it was fun, and it has one of the best soundtracks in gaming history.

Yeah, that's the most amazing aspect of it, that it was just a bizarre accident.

Aside from that, just taken at face value, it seems to me like most people would consider Majora's Mask a noble pursuit to save others and Link's Awakening a desperate pursuit to save himself (at the expense of a large group of being who may or may not exist).

Seriously though, you guys are 6 years younger than me, and I had the same reaction. And how in the heck were you guys beating FFVI 6 years young than me? I was 12 or 13 when FFVI came out—you guys were 6 or 7!
