I have plenty of laser beams to go around. Every dino gets a laser!

As an owner of a 3DS, who LOVES RPGs, but has almost no free time to dedicate to gaming on the go, I'm gonna have to say NO. I was a day-one adopter, but my life has rarely allowed me the opportunity to take advantage of the benefits of the 3DS. I do love RPGs, but I've got a backlog of better RPGs on my other…

Ooooooo! That sounds awesome. Pics please :)

I don't use those features, currently- but I still think it's lame that Sony isn't including them out of the box. PS3 was such a great console because of all the options available to users. It had great exclusives, yes- but it was such a competent media player that it was pretty hard to ignore the value it added to…

Blast from the past! :D
You are mistaken. The Duke had an especially terrible d-pad. It was like someone took a glossy poker chip and cooked it in the microwave for 20 minutes. It was circular with no distinctive signifiers beyond it's undulating ripples. This was corrected (among other things) in the s-type…

Gloss. Yuck. XP

I'll be honest, I only pop into the TAY forums and articles a few times per month, so I haven't seen your recent articles- but my comments regarding the way you come across include your approach to comments, as well. As someone else said above- people become defensive when other commenters outright dismiss or deny…

You can come off as pretty dismissive and argumentative in discussions about certain games and genres you don't like. It comes off as arrogant and uninformed. Try writing more positive articles and comments. Instead of being the dissenting voice who picks apart everything that people love, maybe practice writing more…

The same team (Nintendo EAD Tokyo) made Super Mario Galaxy. They made the first Super Mario 3D Land and they are making this new one, as well.

While it's not untrue that the Super Mario Galaxy team was well underway on a new 3D Mario title for the Wii U, it should have been stated in a way that more clearly related…

I think people's memories are short and also really heavily tinted by nostalgia. My most vivid memories of GTA IV mainly involve the horrendous load times, dull graphics, choppy framerate, terrible shooting mechanics, awful vehicle controls while driving, obnoxious cell-phone calls from shitty friends, and the…

I have a Wii U, but when they announced that a "new 3D Mario game" was "well into development" they specifically said that it was by the team who made Super Mario Galaxy and not the team that made Super Mario 3D Land (although, yes- both games were made by Nintendo EAD Tokyo). That was a little disingenuous and got a…

On the one hand, I'm excited to see Sony making such a strong rebound. The PS3 launch was abysmal, and they slowly but surely turned the ship around. This time, Sony is actually trying, rather than coasting on past success- and it looks like they are actually offering a stronger package for the money.
On the other…

Well then I guess that's some good news to me. We've already got the NSMB game out of the way. The Wii got 2 Galaxy games, though I would honestly be happy with even one proper 3D Mario game this gen.

"I don't see why it's so hard to want both"
Maybe because some of us don't like both? Maybe because we've gotten a lot more of one than the other, and maybe to some of us- we feel like we've gotten more of the worse? We've gotten 4 NSMB games in a span of 6 years and we've gotten 4 3D Mario games in the last 17 years.…

Well I'm glad you like it. Some of us don't. You got yours, so how about crossing your fingers in the hopes that the rest of us get ours?

I agree that it was too easy, it wasn't engaging enough and the level design was too linear. The platforming wasn't all that great either. I hope they can find a way to make the levels a lot more expansive in this new one and provide a challenge in the core game beyond multiplayer (I don't have any other friends with…

I definitely liked Super Mario 3D Land, but I didn't love it. After seeing the most recent gameplay trailer, I feel much more optimistic- but I hope this game is a huge improvement. At least I can rest assured that it will be better than the NSMB games. I'm still waiting and hoping for a new single-player 3D Mario…

I'm not boycotting, I'm just waiting for a used digital copy at $15 or less.

Earlier this spring the same thing happened with BioShock Infinite. The game was getting some of the best review scores in years, and then the usual suspects at Kotaku and Polygon started groaning about how "violent" it was (after giving it a perfect 10). Seriously wishing that it wasn't so violent because they wanted…

Shmaaaaay!
