"I wanna cast magic missile!!!"

Someone in Blizzard did that on purpose. And that's awesome.

For instance, Sorceress was at a competent level. Best spells for sorceress would be nerfed entry level spells for wizard. So wizard gets spells like...Firaga?

Or maybe I'm spouting fanboy tripe as I'm so unimpressed with this "new" class.

Importing that shiz.

Been really digging Pink's So What. Rhianna'd be a good remix too. And some Flo'Rida?

The game's gameplay is unoriginal. Look at my frickin' name, I'm of course gonna say that. But the true beauty in music games is the range of music.

Give me a IIDX USB keyboard and some PS3 IIDX games, I'll import them. Give me this game, I'll buy that too. They're all fun and almost always have a mode to make your own charts.

Now if the game has all covers...effe that.

Just got a reply with my key right this minute.

They're still giving out keys, so don't give up hope yet!

$1.00 for 2 (3 if you get bonus stage) songs on Pump It Up is not worth the money. You figure you get $1.00 for about 7 minutes of gameplay. So $10.00 gets you 70 min of actual playtime. Assuming no fails and you play music games. Playing a game like racing is meant to be fast, you get 5 minutes. Shooters are even worse, with both a clock and lives going against you (Police 911 needs a slower clock).

Thus, for a realistic max of 1 hour 10 minutes for $10, you're better off seeing a movie.

There are however a couple of models that will work-

1. Lower prices. Everyone, let's get a big old Duh. 50 cents for the majority of games is better. Gamers get more value and they think far less of sinking quarters than they do games with actual dollar slots on them.

2. Flat rates. As one of the arcades near my home does, charge a flat rate for admittance. $26 to get in for the entire day, freeplay for everything.

Arcades can work. And the interest WILL be there nowadays. But as many posters already said, it's pricey. Far too pricey. Especially with the quality of arcade games in America. Get some proper upkeep in an arcade, some halfway decent games imported, and lots of multiplayer shooters and racers and you're good.

Also, a liquor license. A lot of arcade gamers can and will drink now. Start serving after 7 PM, that way the kiddies have their time too.

Better than anything they announced at E3 at least.

That being said, not sure how it'll work for Snowboarding, but for Racing, it's a bit annoying. I start in the map wherever I was in Single player. But every time, they're all on the other side. Just a matter of poor luck, but now I gotta drive across town just to get to the multiplayer part.

Sure, it may not be a GAME franchise, but there have been many movies of the same genre. Especially in Japan.

The guy in the center though, definitely a chick. So I'm assuming both chicks are guys.

*shrugs* I'd still hit it. Just not letting it hit me.

They quietly garner sales and invade all homes with their fun, bug free games and portability. The lowest price of all consoles helps too.

But I'ma go with Wii here. Casual gamers for the lose.

PS3 needs some damn good exclusives and fast. And I'm predicting LBP is one game that can make or break PS3, it's their last great hope. They have exclusives, but none with as big a fanbase as GTA4. They need a new IP to create a giant following.

For those of us that want to read but maybe not buy. I'm sure it'll appear there eventually. For free.

It's rare I lawl from Kotaku. Sankyou.
