@badasscat: I can understand the frustration, but it was either this or open the floodgates to piracy. I don't think it would have been as easy to pirate those huge-ass PS3 games as it was the PSP's comparatively small titles, but the potential was still there.

Well, it's a start. They recognize the problem and are working toward a solution. I just hope this new attitude spreads from the commercials to company representatives like Jack "I'll give you $1200 for an unsold PS3" Tretton and Ken "You'll work a second job for one of these and LIKE it!" Kutaragi.

@Nihilexistentialist: I'm not hearing "stop."

@Nihilexistentialist:

"Naturally, that is not to say that our society is without problems, but to be honest, I frankly do not think that you are the ones to tell us."

@Nihilexistentialist: Here's what I've found so far.

@Nihilexistentialist: My understanding is that yes, Rockstar does intimidate reviewers into giving their games high ratings. They don't break kneecaps, but they will withhold advertising and pre-release copies of future games to any publication or web site who pisses in the Metacritic pool with a low rating. …

Have they invested enough money in thugs to bully reviewers into giving the game a ten? Oh wait, it's Rockstar. Of COURSE they did!

@Mainman: Heh, I'm older than thirty and I had a couple of these. Tiger has been in the handheld game longer than anyone realizes... I had King Kong, a really crummy Donkey Kong knock-off where the Mario-alike had to jump tiny bombs instead of barrels. It was manufactured in the early 1980s and looked vastly…

Well if he's specifically targeting Street Fighter IV in his complaints, he's wrong. It's a very good conversion considering the format, and dare I say it, it's even fun to play thanks to the simplified control scheme. Would I rather play it than the Xbox 360 version? No, but it gets the job done in a pinch.

"But, said Sony's top marketing officer, they look down their nose at Nintendo's motion control, and that's why the PlayStation Move is on the scene - to make this kind of thing cool for the core."

You bought Cross Edge? And a PSP Go?! What were you thinking?!

By... Men-A-Vision!

@LongLiveTheThing: Okay, I gots to know. What the heck is Microsoft Retail Expert?

"I can play with the Wii."

@sunpop: And they have a law on the books similar to the "virtual child porn" law that Japan almost passed! Doesn't seem to be working too well for them, does it?

Well, someone DID try to rape him once. I don't blame him for being cautious.

The upscaled version looks worse! All the colors are darkened for no fathomable reason.

Here's an idea! Why not just give us Donkey Kong? You know, real Donkey Kong, not that NES crap with only three rounds.

Yeah, the emulation in the Game Room is pretty rotten. Some of these games aren't worth a plug nickel, let alone fifty cents. Have you tried Shaolin's Road? Now try it on MAME, or the arcade version, should you be lucky enough to have it nearby. Biiiiiiiig difference in quality there. The Xbox 360 version slogs…
