I am a sad panda that these are not available to buy. I would collect the entire friggin set.

Something tells me there might have been a greenback exchange for the reviewer from GameZone.

@ClaudioIphigenia:

Is it the classic Zelda "you just opened a treasure chest" sound? Thats what I would have expected. Duh-na-na-NAH!!!!!

@mind in rewind: You and I are definitely in sync on this one. I'm on my second time playing AC2 thru...just because its that awesome.

2007: Bioshock

Shouldnt that person get a special achievement for just "LOL"ing once? I think that is its own special brand of awesome.

@Đipic: Thanx for the promotion. I stated my reason for comparing the two below. Before this, Fallout 3 was the pinnacle of single player gaming...and one I thought would never be topped.

@braincadet: I chose to compare to Fallout 3 for one reason: Up until now, Fallout 3 was the most immersive game I had ever played in my 25 years of gaming. I have beaten Dracula (Castlevania), slayed Ganon many times (Zelda), and destroyed the Nazis like it was going out of style (Medal of Honor and Call of Duty). …

@Brian Ashcraft: Doesnt that mean Madonna would then have to play too?

I hate to say this, because I played Fallout 3 until my eyes bled, but AC2 is a better game that Fallout 3. The mechanics are more polished now, the storyline sucks you in from moment 1, and the added assassination techniques are superb. The money/sales system is decent, the town building element is great, the scenery…

So AJ knows what its like to spread Chlamydia. Doesnt surprise me.

@jianna: Dont be a cheesehead. Just switch it over at the same Gamestop...they can do that, ya know.

@iFOREIGNi: I was thinking more like Hockey's Detroit Red Wings. Always there year after year after year.

I have it from an insider at Nintendo that the E3 software with the Vitality Sensor will be Super Mario Bros: The Nose-Picking Search for the Big Booger. The Vitality sensor will help read your heartbeat thru your nostrils.

To me, I think that when Gamestop has a "street date", that is a commitment to the customers which should not be broken for some, but not for others. However, there is another culprit in this...Activision.

It looks like another case of "We suck so badly that we can't get back in the studio for a new album, so we're gonna sue our way to money", just like Courtney Love. #bandhero

@Hamster Poop: I picked up Castlevania the day they released it. It was the first Konami game I beat on NES, and still, I consider, one of my all time great gaming achievements. Dracula popping into a monster was crazy-go-nuts. #virtualconsole

I picked up Kid Icarus a long time ago. I have narrowed it down to the following:

Mike, take it from someone who has lost 2 marriages to his gaming addiction, its a hard thing to get out of. Luckily, the switch just flipped for me one day and I was able to make it a hobby that I spend a few hours a week on, and not the complete life-sucker it became for me. However, the people I have met along…
