@MMaestro: 'Senior VP of Marketing...'

Because middle-aged or less attractive women don't wear bras.

@Toshi: I play without using guides for the large part, but every time I start a giant JRPG I look for spoiler-free walkthroughs, and then search for "missable items" or something similar.

@PoweredByHentai: There's the PSN Locoroco Cocoreccho, which I actually quite liked. Especially for the price. But it isn't a full-sized game, and controls differently. Apart from that I don't think there are any.

Have the previous games sold by rockstar secretly not sold multiple millions of copies? Because I was under the strong impression that Grand Theft Auto was pretty consistently selling amazing amounts. So...not so surprising, in critical or retail terms.

Seeing as the top voice recognition stuff on the PC requires hours of teaching it your specific speech, and then still gets things wrong a lot of the time, I'm not holding any hope. Although I suppose this will only use a few specific commands.

@saigon: He will be stronger in the long run, yes, and I'm assuming that is what will happen. However, in the first few moments (the ones we witnessed) before he even really starts smoking much, I can't imagine there has been a massive deterioration in his strength. But he just kind of sank to his knees and gave up.…

I think the "blood grudge" thing was meant to be a norse reference (blood feuds and all), rather than a vampire one.

I don't think you're ever going to get to the point where all phone companies get updates out for all of their handsets quickly. As such, I would say in the long term, the more important thing is for google to sort out how it delivers its updates. If a major new OS update is coming out once a year then that's okay,…

I refuse to believe that there is any voice acting in the world worse than Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

@Cjay79: Just an addition in case you didn't know: the problem stems from the fact that in Japan O is select, and X is cancel, whereas elsewhere they are generally swapped (don't know why).

@Cjay79: Yeah, this is the only game that I've come across the problem in (although there may be others which have it). I'll often find that the confirm button and the exit one swap between the system menu and in games, but they are consistent within each one.

My first ever duel occurred seconds after I had whistled my horse. What I ended up with, was the horse standing perfectly between me and the person I was dueling. Couldn't see a single part of his body, but he was unhindered. I died.

@noobmcnoob: It would be impossible to eliminate entirely, but as a similar example, well known manga scanlation site OneManga has recently shut down, stating that publishers have recently strengthened their stance against scanlations. I think fewer people are willing to do something when the risk is made more…

The sad thing is that it isn't just 'the internet' that's guilty of this, or random blogs, even respected newspapers will print things they know little about, citing random sources.

@albo: The review does completely explain that point. It says it is lonely without multiplayer. I would agree.

@wild_world_girl: You never get plot based members, it's all wifi friends or random characters you create.

@Delphinus100: Oh yeah, I did know in advance that it didn't come with the extras, but I got it anyway because my girlfriend wanted it for her birthday. I still think it's a pretty cheap move on their part though.

I think the next step in the Sims franchise is to remake The Thirteenth Floor, titled as The Sims (Movie, if the prefix is necessary). The plot would work pretty much perfectly with it I think.

I enjoyed Avatar (as did many people), but I hope this kind of thing fails. There are definitely some (older) films that I would like to get a chance to see in the cinema again, but this is really something that should just be on the DVD. And not a special DVD. Once upon a time, extras were considered standard on…
