Bring on the loot...I'm totally down with repetitive gameplay in order to gather some bad ass ridiculously named divine instruments.

]]> They really couldn't think of a better name than MARKER MAN ADVENTURES? God help us.

]]> I kind of see where he's coming from there...I mean, there hasn't really been an overhaul. They ARE kind of playing it safe with both of those titles. Not that it's a bad thing, but in a sense I agree.

]]> Bash, your kid is fucking adorable. I really LOL'd...for reals.

]]> I'm excited to see what this is all about...considering I missed Chrono Trigger on the SNES.

]]> Like I've said...a creepy dungeon isn't creepy if the entire game takes place in the bottom of wells, sewers, and dark, brown and grey ruins. Contrast IS your friend.

]]> Easy Solution: Parents, be involved in what your children do. Whether it's playing baseball in the park, surfing the web, or playing videogames. The world is a scary place and it's YOUR job to protect them. Everyone is swift to blame media and technology on predators. Reality check- predators have been around since the beginning of civilized nations.

]]> I'm inclined to agree with this guy. Nintendo knows what they're doing these days. All they REALLY need to do, is keep going on this casual route, to sell consoles to our parents, grandparents and sisters...while keeping Nintendo fans satisfied with new Zelda, Mario, Metroid and other notable franchise installments. Wii is here to stay. It's going to continue to sell like crazy, and all of you who hate it may as well get used to it being number one for a while.

]]> I'd rather it be a new IP than KOTOR...I guess I'm in the minority.

]]> What a coincidence, I just found this game used for $10, and I've barely made it through those mines. Fate?! I think so.

]]> Right, oversized marines grunting and sawing monsters in half will be more emotional than traversing a half flooded dystopian society with actual thought provoking ideals. I won't hold my breath...

]]> I don't care what anyone says anymore. I think the game looks cool. I think I can spare the $6 or so to fucking rent the thing and find out for myself. People love to hate Too Human these days, and it's poisoning people's opinion of the game before it's even shipped.

]]> Yeah, because we all want that really sweet brown/grey color palette. Jesus, Blizzard's probably just as sick of that as we are. Environmental diversity is a GOOD THING. If the whole game is dark and gloomy, it won't have as much effect on the player as it would if you go from vivid forest, to dark cave, or to bright rainbow, to bowls of the earth.

]]> oh COME ON. I can't believe Konami thought THIS is what Wii owners wanted. Ugh.

]]> Yes, they should take a nod from No Country For Old Men. No music.

]]> They really created a beautiful open world...with NO reason to explore the thing. If that's the route they want to pursue, then they should most definitely create more options, and rewards for exploration. The open world really is just a major nuisance, with no real point whatsoever. If they're going to stay within the same vein of the first game, just give us linear missions with more assassinations, and less saving a million civilians for no reason.

]]> Hey, good for IGN for locking down that deal. I'm sure it'll bring loads of traffic to their site.

]]> I dont know what the hell Lost Vikings is.. *hides* but my money's on that. Come on, the LOST numbers...Lost Vikings. That penguin doesn't look very diablo either...

]]> I'd be ALL OVER that shit. Seriously, Aerosmith's Guitar Hero title can politely kiss off, in my opinion. However, The Beatles publishing is REALLY expensive, and I don't see anyone being able to cover their tunes without my stomach turning. I want the ORIGINAL songs...even if they ARE in mono.

]]> I think whatever Nintendo has been doing for the past 10 years or so, is the right way to let the public know about a game. Even with Zelda, we knew about the game well over a year before it shipped, but the information that came out, as well as the TIME in which it arrived is seriously important to public interest. As much as we want all the information given to us as soon as possible, if a developer shows all their cards too early, we feel like there will be no surprises to be found in the title. That's when it becomes merely something you felt as if you've already played.

]]> Oh man...Smiths homage. You KNOW I had to weigh in on that!

]]> Oh Dennis...I know you're really passionate about this project. Hell, you've spent 10 years making it! But dude, you really just need to let the product speak for itself. I know, it's hard to contain yourself. Maybe you should invest in a PR rep.

]]> Looking good to me...I'm not sure how down I am with the idea of a flamethrower though...

]]> Just when I think Yahtzee couldn't possibly get any funnier...he makes me spit tea out of my nose. The man really said "Its a good way to get your mustache perforated." Holy shit. Best. Line. Ever.

]]> And people think RE5, GTAIV, and Mass Effect sex scenes are offensive...This tops them all.

]]> I still hate the enemy design. It's SO uninspired. Really, I think I'll hold off on this one.

]]> Here we go again...Witz, I hope you're ready.

]]> I can totally see why he'd be upset. If one of my song's ever got in the hands of a Republican, and used for a campaign, I'd be really really bummed.

]]> I'd actually like to see more reviews from the perspective of that particular game, rather than compare it to it's past iterations. For instance, I've never played a Metal Gear game. I'd like to know how I'll like it, what the experience will be like for me, how 'out of the loop' I'll be, etc.

]]> I think Geoff was a good challenge for Marcus this time.
Geoff totally took home the gold from THAT exchange.

]]> I'll believe it when I see it.

]]> Too. Many. Guitar Hero's. Period. Seriously, they're going to flood the marketplace with all these titles, confuse consumers and in the end potentially lose money to people that may have bought ALL these games, if they were spaced out more intelligently.

]]> Hey man, I just hope he keeps on rockin' in an EA free world.

]]> @Azures: I just think the IGN PlayStation team got excited about having a AAA exclusive. They also had no problem excluding anything about cutscene length by way of agreement between them and Konami, in order to get a review up first. There are really only a couple of editors over at IGN that are credible at all. None of them are on the PlayStation team, unfortunately.

]]> So, what are they going to do? Open up the SD slot? That would be fine, but wouldn't it open them up to all kinds of piracy?

]]> It must be a brain training MMO.

]]> I think it was more of a marketing issue than a price issue. I don't really think kids generally knew that this game existed, or what it even was. Sure, a lower price point would have helped, obviously. However, if EA spent the dollars whoring out Spielberg's name all over heavy television marketing and getting the message out there to kids, they would have been begging their mothers for the game, thus moving more retail units.

]]> The dialogue in the game was laughable...if they're truly looking to make this an adaptation with substance...I think they're going to need a better writer than that guy.

]]> I've been aching for a good first person shooter on the wii, actually. However, this game isn't really doing it for me. The enemy design is laughable, the video they showed off last month was very underwhelming, and the plot is more than cliche. I admire the fact that they're pushing the hardware, but this concept has been done to death. I really don't understand why people aren't going for the stylized look, maybe cel-shading, or something along those lines. Remember XIII? Something new and original like that would be pretty awesome.

]]> People are creeps. This whole situation is yawn inducing.
