@Willard Fillmore: To be at all effective for note taking, especially math formulas, you would need to be writing on the screen. Imagine trying to scale your hand motions from a small flat piece of aluminum to a 24" LCD... It just wouldn't be practical. Where would you be looking? The sceen. How would you hit the…

That's not terrible on features. Still, imagine the first time you drop it! I think that they must use 10c gold since gold is so soft... For Trump's sake, it could crush in your pocket otherwise. How do you carry a phone like this?

I never did the whole Transformers thing as a kid... I was a GI Joe fan. The recent GI Joe movie and video game were total failures. My kids do like Transformers, so I'm starting to warm to them. This game intrigues me... I plan to pick it up for them, and might just try it myself. :)

I crack me up! :)

@twinturbo2: Ah... That is funny. Hadn't seen it. We all have different levels of tolerance. It seems that in Kotaku-land I'm pretty unique. I like my virtual violence, but leave the gratuitous prfofanity and bewbs out of my games please.

@twinturbo2: Huh? That makes absolutely no sense wrt my comment?

@svenhoek likes guns and dope!: That was great! Is the game really that epic all the way through, or is it 10 minute horse rides for 30 seconds of action sequence, and then repeat?

@AncientUnknown1: I've never done it. I like to hear the game score and any dialogue. See Fernando Jorge's comment about soundtracks above.

@Fernando Jorge: Definitely. Have you ever felt the emotion of a good movie at a climactic scene, and then realized that the music was the catalyst?

I wonder if Gears of War 3 will include the strong language filter again? I'm hoping they could add a filter for all foul language. I love that game, but profanity is grating in a house with children.

@Trumpet: Ha! Good conspiracy theory! You never know...

Just how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop... I guess the world may never know. :)

Wow... They had to know, right? I mean, technically the logo's are different, but I think they're treading thin ice on this one... It would be interesting to see a legal opinion on this.

@Jekht: You might want to consider going with the moniker "Billy" and writing with big, messy 6th grader penmanship... Just a suggestion.

That's great that Nintendo sent her a DS. I wonder if her teacher will let her take it home since it seems to be for the entire class? It's nice to see that Nintendo is still humble enough to respond this way.
