It kinda seems like some of you are looking for a controversy in this. I'm not so sure anyone is really all that offended. Context does matter, and this is certainly different than gratuitous sensuality. They did do an excellent job on the character body model. Too bad the girl has a dude's face.

@houser: I will concede that Nintendo deserves applause for their willingness to take the risk of motion control first. I don't understand how HD would have been a rabbit hole for them? As far as cost for HD goes, you can buy HD DVD players all day long for $50 or less (that's for everything not just the HD). I…

That... Is very cool!

@houser: I like Nintendo. I don't like where they're at right now. They let me down with the lack of HD on the Wii, the lack of accuracy on the Wii-mote, requiring an additional peripheral to fix and the stale updates on the DS. How long have we had the original DS now? Look at how many minor updates they've made…

The last several updates have been marginal improvements at best. I'm tired Nintendo... Tired of your relentless pursuit of marginal iterations. Please do something interesting again! The iPod Touch/iPhone is eating your lunch.

@CLanceMcP: That's a slippery slope I think, but it maybe could work. No solution is perfect for everyone. One nice feature that the latest iPhone and iPod offer is the flexibility for parents to lock down individual utilities. I have locked out Safari and Youtube for my kids. I do allow them to use the Appstore…

How much will RE5 Gold cost for the 360?

@ssh83: I don't know... Have you seen the latest SI calendar? I happened across a web ad today... A bikini can be pretty steamy. Not sure I want my adolescent boys perusing that kind of mature content. They're just not mature enough yet. Plus, there are so many sources for that kind of material, (even the Sunday…

@dracosummoner: Look... You're right that the parents are ultimately responsible. I don't know if you have older children yet or not, but I do. I know that I want to balance the need to be protective with my desire to have some degree of openness for them. In a very practical way, Apples stand makes that much…

I'm going tonight! Bye Bye Bioshock 2... I'll miss you and buy you back in a few months when I get an itch to play again. Maybe I can put the money down on RE5 Gold so I can own it again too. I'm sad.

@Budkin: $1.6 if you have the Edge Card. :)

Is that an Xbox girl? I want to see it made into an Arcade game.

@GOD: Try to have some vision and some patience! Give MS a chance to show us what they really want to do with Natal. Let developers use the tech to take it even further. I can even imagine other ways the tech can be used to improve our standard of living just a bit when taken outside of the gaming realm. K "God"?…

@N●Gage Croal is applying for Mann Co.: It's not a perfect system, but it's theirs. I knew I wouldn't have to read too many posts before someone would cry foul over Safari. Look... In all seriousness, Apps are great and kids love them. My kids have iPod Touch's and I block Safari and Youtube. I would hate to have…

Good for them. Not everything has to be a conduit for sexuality in this world. While many will see this as an intrusion into their "rights", I'm glad to see a company taking the high ground, despite how unpopular it might be. This is actually very smart marketing because it builds trust with parents concerned with…

I hear the next Viva Pinata will be darker and grittier too.

@AoE: That's great for the PC gaming world. I'm a console gamer, and have four children who play various consoles, including handhelds. When I have to have a game at launch, I'm happy to pay full price. If not, I tend to wait it out for a few months for a bit of price drop. I know that many of the primary…

@Aara Farshad 'Malik' Davoodi: You are so wright and I feal so stuped. :)

Hmmm... You have peaked my interest. I hadn't heard of Glyde before, but I'm all for competitive options for gamers in the resale arena. I wonder when publishers will realize that gamers would buy digital downloads if there were a decent benefit to consumers. I would totally buy a game to keep it if the price point…

@WhiteMåge is in fact a boy, damnit: Good point! We have had some controversy over alleged comparison images before. Maybe this one is a hoax too? These images look great!
