I disagree with your premise. Actually, I believe the games are *less* susceptible to review bombing.
Review bombing always occur in a restricted period of time.
When separating “all time reviews” and “recent” reviews, Steam make it easy for us to check if there’s a recent trend that’s distant from previous review,…

- Really don’t agree with the Ancient of Lore change, it was fine.
- Keeper of the Groove nerf was too much, 2/3 would be fine.
- Ironbeak Owl also went too far, Spellbreaker now has more than twice the body for just one mana more.

For measly 10% store credit? Absolutely not!
If they want to remove my right to play the games I bought anytime I want (because this is practical effect), they’ll have to give me more for it.

Ah, that expands a lot your list of interests (as we know). :)
Then, yeah, if you like FF Tactics, there’s a great chance you’ll also like Fire Emblem, it’s a very distinct experience from what you’d get with Final Fantasy. Also, if you get a 3DS and enjoy the Firem Emblems, there’s also Shin Megami Tensei: Devil…

You answered your question yourself, LordNexus: you like sports games and shooters, and don’t care about RPGs, so, no, don’t rush to buy a 3DS and play Pokémon or Fire Emblem.

I’m not saying this because they aren’t great games (personally, I don’t care about Pokémon, but Fire Emblem if by far my *favourite* Nintendo…

The earliest example I can remember is Ranma 1/2, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were previous examples.

This discussion has various aspects, and while he's correct in a few points, he's forgetting a lot more, like, for an instance, the huge number of gamers who dropped out piracy when they noticed they could get the games they want at a price they consider fair. Another thing he's forgetting is that, without sales,…

Edge: For fuck's sake, guys. Make your consoles backward compatible.

The good news for people interested in getting a Wii U—or for people who already have one—is that Nintendo is slowly but surely adding quality, exclusive games to the Wii U's line-up.

Yes, I am one of those Legend of Zelda fans – the ones who steadfastly maintain that the pinnacle of the series, despite all the advances of the past two decades, is a 2D sprite-based game for a 16-bit game console.

And I came here, to the comments session, just to say this lists was missing The World Ends With You. That's an amazing game, even by home consoles standards.

Both are ugly consoles, but for Sony that's no news: their launch consoles always looked bad (except the PS1), at least they didn't need the looks to be good.
