@nutbastard: You think it will take until a kid is twelve before he will have explored every nook and cranny of the home he lives in? Remember, the gun has to be easy to reach and at-the-ready to protect against home invaders which will strike in the middle of the night or else it's not very effective.

@nutbastard: Keeping a gun in the house with children is insane. Even though this gun was left out, kids can get into anything and find anything hidden. There was some insurance study many years back that found that a gun in the house was over forty times (4000 percent) more likely to be used against a member of…

@bakagaijin: I was thinking the same about your posts. What tv do you have that supports a 120hz INPUT signal? We're waiting.

@bakagaijin: No consumer tv accepts a 120hz HDMI input signal. Tvs that advertise they are 120hz or 240hz are referring to their refresh rate. They take the input signal and add interpolated frames (which can look awful if done incorrectly) or they double up frames. 120hz makes films look "smoother" because films…

" "Over eight years, Activision shareholders provided these executives with the capital they needed to start Infinity Ward" Yeah, and all those lazy bastards gave you in return was a two BILLION dollar franchise.

Just what I need. A phone whose non-removable battery dies after three hours.

""We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. " Apple's lucky Xerox didn't have the same attitude.

If the game is well-executed and still ends up flopping, it will pretty much be the end of any more non-kiddie titles for the Wii. Third party publishers will have to (reasonably) conclude that there just isn't an audience for a mature/hardcore action game on the Wii.

" He pointed out that Crysis wasn't the best demonstration" Yet he used it anyway. Pretty smart, all the laggy controls he could blame on the iPhone whereas if he demoed it on a real PC it would be painfully obvious that OnLive was the culprit of the control issues. Simple fact is, only games that are forgiving of…

@peteer02: You do realize everything you just asked to be able to do (and what Luke's bizarre rant is about) can be done from any phone with a web browser? Need to see who's online, go to [xbox.com] on any browser for your phone. The only thing "exclusive" here are things like Zune access music and video and playing…

@searanox: That you, Tony Hawk?

"you'll remember Microsoft pulled the same stunt around "

@deanbmmv: Actually it probably was easier. Capturing images would require getting a dev kit out, going to different sections of the game, capturing a bunch of images (which can take a long time to get the "money shots"), getting the good shots approved (they don't want any potential spoilers or risque bits), then…

@Cheapsunglasses: Didn't anyone notice that the reviewer for Eurogamer doesn't normally like action/hardcore games? She normally likes Wii crap and games like Buzz. It's kind of like asking a vegetarian to review Wolfgang Puck's new Steakhouse. I don't expect Eurogamer to ask her to review God of War III (though…

@TylDurden: Actually, there's only been one game released (in the U.S.) with more than 25GB- MGS4. Every other game has been a single layer Blu-ray. FFXIII will be only the second game to use more than 25GB.

@Solid-Malice: "the bullshit EA pulled with Burnout Paradise was crass. " What bullshit? You mean supporting the game for over two years with both free and premium content? Paradise is the prime example of how companies SHOULD support their game with DLC. Let's see if AC2 gets any new DLC a year from now.

@deanbmmv: The original assertion was that the Simpsons writers had messed up when they were trying to avoid a trademark issue by renaming the Wii the Zii. My point was, they weren't trying to avoid a trademark issue because they don't need to worry about such things. The fact that some product somewhere is called…

@deanbmmv: Shows like the Simpsons don't change names to avoid Trademark issues. They're parodies so they are exempt from such things. They can use the actual names and logos with impunity. When they substitute a fake name it is either for 1) Comic effect 2)They don't want to seem to be plugging (or dissing) a real…
