@Hamsfork: You don't need to abandon your dog to be incredibly evil though. An incredibly evil character gets an incredibly evil dog, so you'll have a snarling black thing with glowing eyes preying on the flesh of your enemies. Probably.

@Quaro: Yeah, what an idiot. Making games for the company that bought his company rather than for the Wii...

Lego Purists?

@Đipic: I evidently stand corrected. Shows how little I've played Final Fantasy in the last 8 years.

No, it'll be generic due to the series having been so extremely stretched thin, long HD cutscenes, and uninspired same-as-the-last-three gameplay.

Not even pop culture can dull the mighty banhammer.

Gamepolitics debunked this days ago. Activision's lawyer said that none of these cases are P2P filesharing cases.

My prediction? The amount of money you make gambling was always going to make your corruption (rather than evil) level go up, so the people who made millions of gold on this patch are going to have the sleaziest gits possible.

I find it amusing that a headline about Harmonix laughing at the UK Rock Band price controversy and a headline where Peter Moore claims that EA won't rip you off are so neatly juxtaposed.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

It's not about the number of complaints, it's about the fact that they have to follow up every single complaint and then weigh the content up against the rules and guidelines.

MGS4 just isn't... accessible enough if you ask me. Whilst you can go into a brawn-over-brains fragfest like Halo without much previous experience in the series (shoot aliens, shoot zombies, shoot aliens, shoot zombies again), something like MGS4 is so plot-heavy that it becomes hugely inaccessible to the gamers who…

If he felt BioShock was too easy, why didn't he turn off the respawning? The key is to make the game accessible to both people who want to experience the story and people who want a challenge, not to make the game hugely inaccessible just because you're a macho retro gamer who grew up playing games that were designed…

I would assume it's like Oblivion: The Shivering Isles, where the product is available both as a DLC package and as an installable DVD.

@ThursdayNext: I'd assume it was down to the lack of AAA titles on the PS3. Most people buying a PS3 are probably going to be buying a copy of GTA4 with it due to the lack of other familiar AAA titles.

@mva5580: You do realise the original Playstation, the second most successful games console ever made, had a really horrendous piracy rate?

I used to run around Paragon City as a ghostly, camp, weather-controlling pirate called Captain Blowhard.

There any footage of this? I know the UK's Red Bull Flugtag was broadcast, so did any of the Chicago one get recorded?

1600 points for Shivering Isles is still more than I paid for Oblivion alone.

I'm still worried about the overzealous copy protection.
