They're totally missing the boat here. Gollum needs his own game. A puzzle game like "Gollum's Cookies"? That's where the money is.

ok- that kills my video of Pikachu getting out of an elevator:

is it just me, or is the quote from the Gamestop CEO incredibly obvious? What digital revenues does gamestop even have? They sell codes for downloads in their stores and, I assume, online. Online sales require a credit card. If a customer is already online and has a credit card, they are, under most circumstances,

This has been a huge annoyance for me since the Wii launched. Instead of treating the virtual console like iTunes (dump everything in you have the rights to, add more as you get the rights), they treat it like a traditional physical release.

Sorry, it's the Captain N version of Alucard or no $$ from me:

Finally! A reason to use this useless tool:

I'm in the same boat as you. I actually did try a previous Elder Scrolls 10 years ago after all its hype. I never left the first village and gave up. Skyrim's hype got to me and I bought it.. I played it for probably 2 hours and was done. I can understand why some people might like it- but its too open for me. Every

I don't understand why they just don't make it so you can tie any smartphone Nintendo game purchase (classic games) to your Nintendo ID. Then, users can play them on any device as well as Wii U and 3DS. Seems like the smartest move Nintendo could make, because they could sell people a Mario game on their iPhone, but

My biggest complaint is that the TV features are not consumer friendly. There are 4 ways to control TV watching with the Xbox One: Xbox controller, voice, smart glass app, and your old cable box remote. Guess which one is the most consistent to use?

Except that shows a lack of vision, communication, and leadership on Microsoft's part- which could indicate there are worse problems at play.

Animal Crossing, along with the 3DS and Wii U, are rife with odd user experience issues, too. I'm probably more prone to notice because I work in the Web industry, but it bugs me more and more. Not sure if it bothers anyone else though. For instance, having bathers review my fossils and then give him specific ones can

I'm not saying it isn't something that people should be concerned about at all, but if I had to choose...

While part of me does understand why this freaks people out- the data collected on you (more accurately, your phone's MAC address) pales in comparison to what is collected about you online. Google Analytics is just the tip of the iceberg.

I honestly didn't know people liked tutorial levels. I always liked discovering things on my own.

I always loved Zelda II's sense of exploration. I remember playing through it as a kid on my NES. The swordplay battles were frustrating at times, but fun. I remember really liking the game, but thinking it was very different from the first one and being happy that Link to the Past went back to the original gameplay

Not to mention 24 was fairly popular in Japan and Sutherland is very recognizable for both US and Japanese audiences. Sutherland even did a Japanese commercial as Jack Bauer. For a Japanese developer who wants to get more Western appeal, Sutherland is the perfect choice as a voice actor.

Pre-Internet? Gamefaqs was around for 4 years before this game came out. I remember printing out some FAQs in the 90's so I wouldn't have to run over to a desktop to check things.

Looks like the same costume they had used here:

Yeah, I get what this guy is saying. I grew up playing Atari and then the NES in grade school and SNES in junior high/high school. Gaming has changed. Sure, its not all bad- but most of it isn't what I signed-up for. Its funny because I was thinking about this earlier today. I remembered once, when I was young, my
