Giant chickens bring sadness wherever they go.

So you're the obnoxious "friend" who takes this shit too seriously in a social setting and consequently only gets invited to normal parties once or twice a year out of pity.

I'm the puppy. I can't be bothered to learn the rules to a board game. It's a fucking party and we're there to drink and socialize.

I love my Wii U, but Nintendo needs to cut ties to the Wii. The success of the Wii is the past, not the future. The big hits on Wii (Wii Sports, Wii Fit, etc.) are not drawing interest to the Wii U, so Nintendo should stop funneling energy into reviving those brands. The name Wii U was a terrible idea from the…

I would seriously pay HBO $15-$20 a month for online HBO GO access. I don't need the rest of the cable channels. Why won't HBO take my money?

I totally see his point. However, I also see sales as the trade-off for an all-digital future. People don't have the ability to trade/lend/borrow/sell their old digital titles (at the moment, at least) so the advent of digital sales is a way for the market to balance itself. A digital sale at a deep discount is better…

So excited for this. I just started playing P4G yesterday and I'm hooked.

Misleading headline :(

I had a feeling we'd get to an understanding, eventually. We clearly know our shit as gamers, uh... "of a certain age". LOL. Thanks for the good talk about one of the great eras of gaming :)

This. I don't know who he's working with or what kind of games they've delivered before, but the original FFT was really the only game in the series that I liked, so I'm definitely skeptical. This could go wrong in so many ways that I think I'd be better off waiting for a finished product.

Sounds good to me. I hope this clarifies things for those who were upset.

I disagree that the failures of the 5th gen were due to there being too many consoles in the market. Competition is good- the failures just didn't compete when it came to games. Untapped potential combined with the fact that edutainment/mutlimedia and games aren't really competing for the same dollar. I mean, yes-…

Well I think you kind of proved my point for me. Half of those "multimedia" and "edutainment" machines weren't really in competition for the same games market as Sega/Sony/Nintendo. Combine that with the fact that 3 of them weren't released in all markets, and the huge number of consoles in the "shit show" that was…

This game seems familiar. Wasn't it out like 4 or 5 years ago?

I had the opportunity to pick one up the other day- but Resogun is the only thing I'd be interested in playing at the moment. So I passed. Hopefully this situation will be remedied by the summer.

And I'm saying that it's a little disingenuous to try and label all of those as "consoles". Half of them were merely CD-ROM devices to port existing PC-CD-ROM titles into the living room. It was lazy, there was very little exclusive dedicated software for half of those systems, and even fewer of them launched outside…

If anything, this article illustrates just how much larger the gaming industry has become in the past generation. The notion that online play is the most important differentiator between Wii U and PS3/360 is very telling of divergent publisher/developer and platform holders' interests. Clearly there's a market for…

Just finished Zelda: Link's Awakening. I had the urge to replay it after finishing A Link Between Worlds, and I gotta say: it holds up incredibly well. I just ordered a Vita the other day from Amazon- so it looks like I'll be making my way through several great handheld games this month. Last night me and some buddies…

Ugh, don't rub it in. I finally caved and bought a Vita yesterday. I missed the awesome Black Friday/Christmas sales, but I had a ton of Amazon gift cards, so I still saved a pile of money on everything. Now I just have to wait. I also ordered Tearaway, P4G, Wipeout 2048, Gravity Rush, Muramasa, and Ys. It's going to…
