Is that throwing 1 penny at a time or 5,000 all at once? Both are entertaining of different levels.

I use the $/hour method. I understand that it is not a universal thing, and that enjoyment levels can far surpass that simple metric. However it is something easily quantified and not subjective at all. When you "feel" a game is good it is hard to put a value on that. Not that it doesn't make it real, but it just…

That is typical. Retail is seeing that full price is too high so they are cutting deals to move product and get sales. Sony will stick to their price structure as is. Eventually the retail environment will have an impact to the point where all retail will see the price drops (whether official or not).

It depends on your tastes. Diablo and Starcraft are games you should look into. Total War and Civilization. Witcher 1 and 2 (although 2 is now available on 360 as well). Star Wars maybe?

I am just trying to be informative so we can choose better words to define our beliefs and expressions. I was conscious to make sure I said I was not trolling and trying to get attention or stir up emotions. One could say that the word was marketed to the public which has latched on to it and the foundations of the…

Technically homophobe is a made up word. Homo primarily means man or can mean sameness (as in same sexuality here) and phobe is from phobia (fear). So it really means fear of man or fear of sameness. Not trolling you, just pointing it out to be informative because it is sort of hard to take serious when people use a…

Thanks for the thoughts. It is "reviews" like this that really tell me what a game is like. Sadly, I have no Vita so will not be playing it any time soon.

Woah woah woah. Let's get something straight here. I don't see anything on Oxygen!

Well as far as I can tell, I did it tonight. In all the messages that pop up on the left, like when you take a guy out is says Merciful Soul or something like that, I saw it say Man Down which I thought was a kill prompt. But I took everybody out and looked around and all the bodies I saw were asleep. So as far as I…

Yes, but think of it this way, if the military personnel feel that way then they won't buy it. But they do buy it. Tons of it. COD, Battlefield, MOH, Operation Flashpoint, Socom, all of those guys. They eat it up.

Yes, and the whole point in not creating a new game altogether is to bring the OLD fans back again.

hahaha I can totally be in your head as you typed that. Ok, man how do I say this, that sounds bad. oh hell, just type it.

Why do I think they want the same target audience? When they said it was a reboot that tells me they wanted to keep the foundations the same, simply refresh the brand with new gameplay and story. That is what a reboot is. They didn't come up with a new IP, they are using the TR name so they want the same TR fans plus…

Right, I hear you. And that is pretty much why I said that a spinoff is a good idea. It separates the old from the new cleanly, so old fans don't feel excluded and they can always make both types of games. They are toting this as a reboot, which tells me that they are trying to stick to the same general path, just…

I'd rather there not be rape (or attempted) as part of the story. That is a bit too dark for my view of Tomb Raider. Every Tomb Raider game has been rated T and even a couple lower for the GBA ones. I think that is a good indication of the level for the drama, violence, blood/gore, and all other aspects of the game.…

By explosion you mean the explosion of the mech itself, not the explosion of the EMP grendade right?

That's pretty cool. Probably not a permanent solution or may not even work depending on the controller, but it is basically a no cost solution.

Yeah, what was up with the long wait on the store update and also the lack of much content being updated?

recommendations are a tough one since tastes vary. I would say watch stuff and rate stuff. the more you do the more netflix knows what you like.

Honestly this is my favorite Kart Racing game ever. I loved Mario Kart on SNES, and the others are good too, but never hit that sweet spot (actually Wii version did for a time but it didn't last). CTR was the one I played the most and it rocks. I still have my disc and played it a couple years ago. Not recent at all,…
