Kurtz's description of the original ROTJ ending doesn't sound very Star Wars-ish. If anything, it sounds more like the "bleak message movies" Star Wars was setting itself in contrast to. Still, he's right about one thing - ROTJ had a *ton* of toys attached to it, far more than the first two movies, and it has aged…

@Grglstr: "The Rebels in tatters with Han gone IS the ending to Empire, from a certain point of view. "

Uh, guys, Lynn Margulis has been saying this for 20 years. Symbiogenesis isn't exactly "new."

I'm a big fan of Obsidian's games. Never understood why they got all the hate. Looking forward to this!

Simple - Nintendo is running out of people to sell Wiis to.

Shouldn't this be cross-posted on io9?

How the hell would you hold this?

@dowingba:

This is a weak explanation. Mass Effect 2 had more relationship options than Mass Effect, so it clearly wasn't an issue of content. Also, Shepard can be either male or female, so the "pre-defined character" excuse doesn't really cut it. (Unless homosexuality is a more radical change in character than sex/gender!) …

I just got the disc in the mail and am currently watching 2 Days in Paris. I didn't time it, but it loaded pretty quickly for me. I certainly didn't notice any lag.

@Richard Cozby:

@spiegel1: Just because *you* want a game to behave a certain way doesn't mean it was *intended* to work that way. You're free to not purchase the game or return it.

Looks about the same as Twilight Princess, honestly

@pesematology: "To animal rights activists, the life of an animal is no less important than the life of a human."

@AndPreciousLittleofThat:

"The tactics at PETA's stunt-protests, like portable videoscreens showing inflammatory material, giant gory signs, and fake blood, call to mind no other groups so much as those vile folk who parade around outside women's clinics shoving hoax pictures of abortions in people's faces."

In that screenshot, do I see a....a Bat-crotch?

This works both ways. I know couples where it's the girl who plays the field and the guy who doesn't.

Paper Airplane was an awesome unlockable in the original GBA WarioWare! From the sound of it, "Bird and Beans" was also one - originally named Pyoro or something, I think. Both were awesome.

I am skeptical. They say it will appeal to Star Wars fans who don't play MMOs....but I doubt it will really feel like KOTOR.
