Maybe someone already mentioned this (too many comments to read, sorry!) but are you aware that Puyo Puyo Tetris also costs $10 more on Switch than on PlayStation 4? Sega added some keychains to the Switch purchase but I think the games are the same. It really doesn’t bode well for Nintendo if this is going to be the…

I’m quite surprised Yakuza 0 didn’t make the March 2017 list. I got the impression it is one of the staff favorites, if not the favorite so far this year. I would say it seemed almost to be the favorite (well, maybe 2nd to The Witcher 3) of this console generation but it isn’t even a top 12 favorite on the only…

I don’t remember that but I primarily played Intellivision which had PlayCable. It doesn’t look like anyone has mentioned that one yet which is surprising since it’s fairly well known. Unfortunately when Sega Channel arrived I lived someplace that didn’t have cable TV so I never got to try it. I’m sure Sega did some…

Yeah, an office is still in Ann Arbor, just smaller now after moving for a third time. It was once All Media Guide, then bought by Macrovision, then the company name changed to Rovi, and last year Rovi bought TiVo and took their name. In Ann Arbor we mostly database music and video games (movies is mostly handled at…

MSU has a rather large collection as well, one that U of M turned down for some reason. My employer donated our whole archive when we moved to a smaller building and it included most U.S. console releases from 2000 on (including many collector’s editions), some older games too, and probably a few thousand PC games…

No, he’s referring to a third-person adventure game released in 2003 (had two sequels as well). The Black Mirror title references the name of the manor in the game.

But would it have been as worth it with 15,000 more people? I went a long time ago back in 2003 and that was crowded. I had to actually work so it was tough finding time to stand in lines and not being important press I didn’t really get to see much behind closed doors. I remember when the doors opened in the morning…

When I was young I played a lot of games on Intellivision, Sega Genesis (a fair amount on SMS too), and Commodore 64. The most boring answer to what defined my childhood would be EA Sports’ NHL and Madden games on Genesis. When I look at my Genesis collection it’s an awful lot of sports games. Today I wonder why…

If you’re in the U.S. you can check to see if your town is on Nixle (http://www.nixle.com/). It’s not Twitter and I’m not sure if every town would use it the same way but my local sheriff’s office emails me about traffic accidents and crimes in the area. They send out weather advisories too.

Here is pro gamer Torb impressing his friends as he sets some NES world records for Twin Galaxies:

Yeah, I’ve been getting errors for 10 minutes so I guess they are fixing it. I already finished the game on Xbox One but the season pass would have been nice, oh well.

The worst is when you get two of the same item in one loot box. I got two identical sprays in one box; why would they even allow the same item to appear multiple times in the same loot box?

I’ve tried many games but only finished 12 so far this year and a number of those weren’t released in 2016. Of the 2016 releases, I enjoyed Uncharted 4, and had some fun with Quantum Break and Far Cry Primal, but XCOM 2 had me hooked for a long time so I’d go with that as the best thus far. I finished it six times and…

How many different books were there? I just checked my collection and I have 14 Amalgam titles, as well as an extra copy of the Bruce Wayne one and the Batman/Wolverine mix. In the ‘90s I bought a lot of comic books but primarily read Batman and X-Men stuff so I was equally divided between Marvel and DC. I quit in the…

I think I’ve spent more time creating characters than actually playing the game. My GI Joe pool is at 60 I believe, though some are Cobras added as enemy VIPs. There are so many more I could create but I figured I should stop and play the game.

It doesn’t really look like GameStop is the publisher as the article indicates. I think Insomniac is self-publishing but making the retail version exclusive to GameStop.

Maybe someone already mentioned this but I’ll point it out anyways. The article states the bundle includes all three games. However, it does not appear to include the yellow version, only the blue and red. Also, at the end of the post you ask which one people are getting but there is only one as it includes two…

I did use Evie most of the time when Jacob wasn’t required, though I used Jacob for all but one of the gang wars. When they are both level 10 and are maxed out on skills Evie is statistically better (and I reached level 10 about halfway through the story missions since I did a lot of side stuff). Perhaps it depends on…

While I can deal with bugs, I think I’ve already experienced more in Syndicate than I did in Unity. Maybe I was lucky with Unity because I didn’t have many problems on the Xbox One. I’m not sure how much I’ve played as I just started on Saturday but so far I’ve been stuck in two objects (fast travel can solve that at…

I’m not sure if full expansion packs are considered the same as add-on content. If price is to be considered Shivering Isles was $29.99 at the time of its release, at least for consoles. Point Lookout on the other hand launched at $10. I know PC games used to get a lot of expansion packs in the $20-30 range but now we…
