ugh.. All we get is a store opening at Midnight. No prizes, no games, no schwag, just me, sitting in a chair for 2 hours outside a Gamestop, playing my DS-phat.

Might be the first time I buy a Yugioh card game. This could also work wonders for Magic The Gathering matches, Pokemon, etc.

1. Microsoft and Sony charge developers for any bandwidth used by their systems to download patches, maps, and otherwise.

So is it all missions and free flight mode? No real story to speak of?

If you've already got a DS and are happily enjoying your games, I see no reason to jump. Well, I see a few reasons, but nothing worth the $250 price tag.

PC Gamers gave Crytek the shaft because it was a $50 game with a $500 graphics card requirement.

If it's $250 I'll pick one up

I was going to post about the worst sniper in the world, but this sums it up better I believe.

If only they made a smaller statue that didn't cost as much as a new video game console.

You sir...

Makes it more interesting, but I've never been a fan of ARGs, and this doesn't help much.

I kind of like the ending of it, but the adding of the additional character and back story just seem like them trying to add more of an edgy "underground" urban-activist type. Just rubs me the wrong way.

Makes me want to run out and buy an Ipad 2.

Super Mario 64 DS

You're asking me what nintendo milking its franchises for almost 30 years at a premium price has to do with its fear of cheap video games?

The side effect is more efficient than the intended effect, and has stopped me from buying a clearly superior PC version of several games (Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, etc) due to not being able to do anything with the game after I've become bored with it.

Because if people keep getting good value from 99 cent games, they're gonna wonder why Super Mario 64 3DS costs $39.99, or Limited Edition Super Mario Allstars costs $29.99. And that, people, is why Nintendo is frightened.

Nintendo is the MASTER of selling you your old games for premium prices. The Gameboy did it, then GBA, then DS, now 3DS. How many Ocarinas have their been? How many Remakes? How many times have you paid to play the game you own with a different controller?

I agree, the Miis are pretty limited in how they can dress or what size they can be. However, I did manage to make a few cool ones, like Batman, Mario, Cyclops, Robocop, and others.

Lack of competition and a general "Shut up and take my money" playerbase has pretty much stifled innovation of these things in the last ten or so years.
