@Lokno: Silent protagonists take me out of the story more than put me in lots of times. Take ODST for example. Everyone stands around chatting except for the one mute guy in the corner with his helmet glued to his head. How is that realistic or imersive?

@Orihalcon: Madden. Videogame monopolies are a terrible idea and hopefully one that will die.

I absolutely love xxxxxxx.

Well, since my first suggestion has already been done I make a new suggestion. One that is touching and profound. One that will yield endless debate.

Honestly people it's up to us to put a stop to this shiz. If you don't like what MS is doing then don't buy it. Complaining alone doesn't matter to MS as long as they can continue to line their bathtubs with gold.

@xone9: yeah, I'll be sticking to that too. Time to go buy some MDF and build a cabinet!

@SuperSonik: Yeah, I thought about that after I posted it. Oh well, use it again.

@Michael Dukakis: yeah, that thought crossed my mind. Soldier on my friend.

@S.I.: Faster than the speed of awesome: That's pretty awesome. I guess it's good Steve doesn't take his advice from trolls.

My suggestion is Nighthawks by Edward Hopper. Mostly because it's got such a cool name.

"remain unconvinced Natal will deliver on the more sophisticated elements of what Microsoft is promising at the price they're aiming for."

@AncientUnknown1: Geneva convention applies mainly to prisoners. Prisoners are usually alive.

*forwarding article to wife and friends who tell me to stop playing videogames.

@Wizard: and so out of style! :)

@Wizard: I live in texas, no coats, no big pockets :(

@Piccoroz: Yes but I don't know of any WinMo phones with gamepads and XBox live friends list is different than actually playing a game on live. Still it's a step in the right direction.

@dirty: I don't carry books with me everywhere I go do you?

@Wizard: wouldn't it be easier to carry an extra battery than two devices?

Blackberry realized that people don't want to carry a PDA and a phone so they put the two together. Apple realized people don't want to carry around a phone and an iPod so they put the two together. When will Sony, Nintendo or MS realize that people don't want to carry a phone and a PSP/NDS and make a PSP/Xbox/NDS…

@Pheermee: Xenogears
