@Narishma: Even worse! Then you're losing the area around them AND half of the surface area behind them :-p

@TanyaRei: Somewhat. They got it right with the square icons, but they left that awful waste of space along the right edge. Why? WHY?! :-D

...whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich look like they'll snap off pretty easily as they stick out too far. Let's hope they can be pushed in and locked into place, but I doubt it.

@Kryters: Sorry, I meant icons. The circles just create way too much excess space, no neatness or anything.

Square-ify the buttons! Please! Looks awful at the moment. Such a mess.

@Heratiki: Game Gear. Now that is my favourite of all time. Can't beat a bit of Sonic or Earthworm Jim on the go!

@pixelsnader: So great...and so huge. The least portable handheld of all time :-D

It's got nothing on the Atari Lynx, which needed a backpack to carry it around.

It's because, percentage-wise, nowhere near as many girls play the sort of hardcore games guys do. Fact.

Having worked in the games industry for the past few years as a sound engineer, focusing on surround sound as my final project at University, I can say a few things about this (opinionated, sure, but I'll still try to be objective about it):

@Testsubject909: Good to know it at least feels stable in the States. Over here in the UK it feels like a slow and sticky quagmire with no noticeable bottom.

@DocSeuss: Too true!

Awful logo, just pure awful. They could've come up with something much more pleasing to the eye. This looks like some primary school kid's homework.

Troubling times for the UK game industry indeed. I'd love to jump ship, but no other countries want us.

@SecretMoblin: It'll be cheaper than any/all crap Apple manages to shove out the door, which is anything from 1.5 to 3 times more than a home console.

New, I think about £60 was the maximum for some MMO collector's edition at time of release.

@Francisco Galárraga: ^5!

I call it shart.

@Whyspir: The original creature is actually Firbolg, if you read the first ever Forgotten Realms book. Blizzard got it wrong.

I'd love to slaughter a cow in front of PETA and cover them all in blood!
