I realize it's not great, but I've never heard anything positive about XBLA, and remember that Fez is how we found out about the $40,000 charge per patch. App Store doesn't have anything that insane.

"Unless you're a conservative conspiracy theorist."

Evil, or stupid because you don't understand the latter. Or evil AND stupid!

I get that you don't like iOS, and I'm not looking to rehash that argument, but the reason it'd be ported to that platform before 3DS, Vita, or Android is that iOS games sell like hotcakes. iOS maintains a pretty equal market share with Android, but its apps gross about 20x more (see top bar graph:…

Yup, so much this. Fez was great. Who cares if Fish is kind of high-maintenance? I definitely got some Asperger's-y vibes from him in Indie Game: The Movie - it's okay if he's a bit socially inept and too meticulous. He won't be your best friend, but he'll make some great games that you'll enjoy if you dial down the…

Good to hear. Hoping for a nice solid iOS port - Apple's store support and royalties will seem like a dream compared to Microsoft's outrageous fees for everything in XBLA.

Tell me about it. The I block keeps spurting every time I use it to get a tetris, and the bottom half of the board ends up floating. It's horrible.

Jesus Christ, that's horrible.

Even getting this far was kind of a fluke. T-minus one game to blowout, methinks! #minnesotabitter

I'm Sweding the next CoD~

Hilarious post, let the nerdrage wash over you as a crimson tide.

Really? Not one mention for Mark of the Ninja from anybody?

The gripe I hear is that ToD is too "dark." I definitely didn't like it as a kid and found it too scary. Coming back as an adult it's awesome; the "dark" stuff is all very tongue in cheek and silly, like the dude's heart inexplicably catching on fire because the rest of his body did. It's a blast, albeit a violent…

Oh my god now I hear his voice and see his "facial" movements while reading that. Thanks so much.

You might be right in spirit, but Tomb Raider is primarily exploration with a little combat thrown in. You get big, sprawling levels that are somewhat non-linear in their design. Uncharted is combat with a tiny bit of platforming thrown in. It's an utterly linear on-rails cover-based shooter, Gears of War with an…

Excluding RDR whose multiplayer is actually pretty popular, most primarily single-player games that tack on multiplayer end up having 2-3 months of lobbies with a couple thousand, which dwindles to a couple dozen by six months, and is completely empty by a year. I recently polished off Bioshock 2 and booted its…

Jesus christ. The woman's a classically-trained OPERA SINGER. The epitome of elegance (she actually comes across a bit erudite and snobby in interviews). Don't treat her like some Arsenio Hall flygirl. *smackforehead*

"dear GOD almost everyone there had zero... ZERO social tact."

Alas, shed a tear for self-hating geeks. :(

I typically play on Easy on my first playthrough of any given game just to get through it. I have such a hellish backlog of games that I really just sort of need to plow through. I'm not allergic to challenge; I've beaten SMB3 without dying, fully cleared Super Meat Boy, and spent dozens of hours wiping to World of…
