alas that could well be the case, though at the same time, I can't see how putting all the Suikoden games on the store can be that much hassle, given that they were all released over here (or at least from III onwards - not including the Japan-only one/s). The same for some of the other releases. I suppose they could…

When I first saw that episode I was more than slightly amused.

I just can't see why they felt the need to create different lists for each region. It's bad enough that games like Twisted Metal: Black were heavily edited outside the US because of an Australian court case about the representation of insanity, leaving the EU version with no cut-scenes at all. But that's one game…

That rather explains Weekend at Benson's 'Mississippi Queen'.

I came here expecting to see some steam-powered PC's and instead got some small boxes that are powered by Steam.

I wasn't being wholly serious with my pondering, though I'd not say many of those in Cube or Virtue's were bad people at all.

Very true, though it would still make far more sense for Sony to bring all the stores together, at least in some basic way to give all regions access to - at the very least - the games that have previously been released in a region and so don't need to go through the ratings board. I personally would prefer not to…

Of course I now have the music running through my head, and images of Richard O'Brien playing his flute. Curse you!

To be fair to Sesame Street, when a cast member died in real life, they actually tackled it within the show, telling the viewers (and the children on set) about death. the real-life death of someone the viewers loved, and could never come back.

True, but I already own the PSP physical copy of that one. The fact that had a re-release already meant it was easier to gain access to, which can't be said for the next two in the series (or technically the first two unless you owned a Gameboy Advance/DS). It took them ages to give us the download version of Disgaea:…

I gave up on GTA Online in November when I got sick of various annoyances. One was races with people rigging them so specific people won (they'd do this by driving in reverse and/or generally picking people out except the person they were chatting to with their mic).
Similarly behaviour, but accompanied by about four…

'Last Action Hero' was a film with Arnold and directed by McTiernan, so perhaps it's not that far-fetched that he intended 'Die Hard' as a parody of action movie tropes. Though one also suspects that were that the case, the joke was so lost on the audience that he had to make LAH just to go 'Hey, it's a spoof action…

Unless you're in the UK/Europe *sigh* I really wish Sony would homogonise the international stores. We have some Japanese only games here already, so why not the games that were already previously released over here? Mind you, the PS2 selection of SPN games is even worse, with no big-name RPGs at all. At least the PS1…

My personal opinion of A:R is that they should have had Ripley as an unknown entity, that rather than being the bad-ass good-guy was in fact something worse. For one, her surviving in any way goes against everything the original Ripley would have wanted; as she is now a living, breathing alien DNA (and surely it's…

For a game with such a devoted fanbase, the idea of rushing always seems a little ridiculous to me. As I said in my first post, there's nothing in-game or in the manual to give you any indication as to motivations for some characters. Natsu just appears, fights, then leaves. She's not even mysterious as we know she…

I agree with that. I hated at school that we had to disassemble various books by analysing every paragraph for meaning when all it really did was destroy the actual story. I was fortunate that I'd already seen an adaptation of Animal Farm before I read the book, but even now I find it hard to truly appreciate…

I found it hard to read beyond ''You really don't rember Bruce?'' I don't personally think they will ever have Batman kill the Joker (and it stick), but if they did, It'd work best as a swansong, or at the very least, the closing of this chapter in Batman's story.

I think this would be the best course of action for any video game being adapted (and adapted well). Rather than use the basic plot of the game, instead use the setting to create another story.
