@userking: I agree, GTAIV was far too po-faced and serious. It was so focused on being the videogame equivalent of the Godfather that they totally forgot to include the fun. I lost count of the number of times SR2 made me laugh at something.

@shichi: Actually the article is incorrect, the SNES is nothing special, it has a rare dev cart plugged into it, the console itself is just expensive packaging! ;)

@HobbaHobba: Don't be too excited for it, I thought it was a disappointment compared to the first. Level designs felt uninspired and often graphically primitive and the lack of enemy variety was quite noticeable too, with just wave after wave of clones being thrown at you (with some impressive slowdown to boot). I…

Good to see Saint's Row 2 has done OK, it might not have all the accolades of GTAIV but I enjoyed it just as much!

Yes Iwata, you only drop prices when sales are in the toilet like they were on GameCube.

It would be interesting to know what the failure is. It's probably not overheating related as that is displayed as 2 red lights and the Bic Camera employees should have done something to remedy that, and heat doesn't cause the main 360 failure, power cycling does.

I tried FC2 and it just that every mission involved driving somewhere and then killing people. There seemed to be a distinct lack of variety. Perhaps I should give it a second chance?

Meh, I've no interest in playing online so getting banned is no biggie for me. The only feature I'm interested in is installing games to the hard drive which doesn't need a Gold account to work (one would assume that's the case anyway but considering MS deny Silver accounts immediate access to demos which just means…

I don't get why Obama is being positively associated with video games after the ignorant comments he's made about them during his campaign. He's just as misinformed and clueless about games as McCain is in my opinion.

They should have made the blonde the main character.

I don't think this will be a problem, at present the DS allows any ROM to be loaded directly from within a nice GUI.

That episode was by far the best episode of Chuck ever.

Sometimes I think Halloween is the only thing stopping the bloody Christmas decorations appearing in shops in August...

I can't believe Mario Kart Wii has outsold the far superior Mario Kart DS. :(

@maraxusofk: Better still, why not just execute any gamer that doesn't buy 15 games a week? That will make sure the games industry makes lots of profits and doesn't get shafted by those evil, evil people who buy used games or rent games.

@CureForLiving: Last time I checked 3931 units is more like 4000 units less than 7844. You really aren't from the accounting department are you? ;)

Urgh, leave it alone Namco the original is far superior.

DICE Faith: Committee designed, too many tattoos, ugly unrealistic face, clichéd design.

If you think 10 days is bad, it's taken Alienware over a month so far to fix a broken hinge on my laptop's screen!

@yomachaser: Thanks, I thought that would still be the case. The headline to the story said "PS3 Making Money" so I was wondering where they were making the money from! :)
