Every time I hear 'over-the-top arcadey' I think of every other snowboarding game that's ever been made. I'm not looking for more of the same out of the genre. While I wouldn't mind modes that offer the classic, cartoony SSX experience (it is fun, afterall), I was really intrigued about their new focus on injecting…

This is where bootcamp for Win7 sucks.

Looks don't ever come first when coming up with a character design. You need to decide what you want them to represent before you start drawing, unless you're a hack of course. It's not like they look at a bunch of pre-drawn characters and decide which ones they want in their game, though seeing as all that makes them…

What a load of horseshit!

@Baboonski: Glad I read to the end of this thread before commenting, that last post was exactly what I was going to say. A vacation is nothing compared to a legal battle.

@Arppis: "I only have a fraction of the information about this story!"

@MopZ: It's not that absurd if you live in Europe. Not that that would give him an excuse.

Isn't the game free to play?

It seems like a lot of commenters here are insulted by this review, regardless of whether or not they've even seen the film yet. In many cases, people admit to not seeing it at all but are happily attacking the author of the critique and questioning her motives. All I have to say to that is: WTF?

@BasicPaul: I would love it if you elaborated. That's a pretty absurd and insulting thing to say based on the review of a movie it sounds like you haven't seen.

@orionx3000: Or maybe the message is just so vapid and trite that it doesn't make the empty, plot-less, effects driven journey worthwhile?

Right, but wouldn't you happily drop $100 to give your 360 a gig or more of ram? I'm sure there are millions of console owners who would if they could.

Already have one, but thanks to you and the dozen other people with a penchant for stating the painfully obvious as though it were insight. Swappable components is not the only thing that makes PC gaming different from a console experience. I shouldn't need to explain that to anyone here.

Wow- that only took an hour. I already have one, thanks. We're talking about consoles here.

Thanks for the thoughtful insight, I already have a gaming PC. And seeing as you are so smart, I shouldn't need to tell you that swappable components isn't the only thing that makes a PC a PC, or separates the experience of gaming on a console from gaming on a computer. But again, thanks for the thoughtful response.

Good god I think I had a pair of the exact same jeans as that kid's wearing.

@Peter Pan Complex: I rented it off of gamefly and am struggling to muster a desire to finish it. It's very much like the first Dead Space- very slow on the story dole out, lots of monster closets, but it looks beautiful and plays a bit better than the first game... so if you really liked DS 1 and don't mind more of…

At least there is comfort in knowing you aren't the only one. I'm on spring break right now and going through my pile of shame. Most of it involves PS3, PC, and Wii games, so I am on an something of an achievement hiatus. It feels good to just play a game for the joy of playing it again... achievements be damned!

That's why I'm trying to get in. Finishing up a Masters in Animation and modeling- hoping to break in in just over a year... fight the good fight from the inside, and learn all that I can along the way about all of the incredible things developers do get right.

I hear you, but I'd argue that if you counted up every truly fleshed out, complex, and interesting character from every videogame ever made, I'd have more fingers than you'd have names on that list. Take away the context of videogames, and you see that the characters created in the form pale miserably in comparison to…
