    @alanxu: Touche' my man. Touche'. I'm a cheap bastard I'll admit. Even this generation I haven't ever bought a game brand new. I usually wait several months until the price has dropped down significantly. 60 dollars for a game is just a bit much for me.
    But to answer your question, I'll throw down money for this generations games.
    But for the really really really old stuff? Not so much.

I just can't see modern players or even those who grew up back in the day to blow $3 on Outlaw, especially when you can buy Arkedo's and other developers amazing stuff for that or less on the indie game channel.

    You know what I think would be cool? A motion sensor built right into the stylus with a detector in place of where the camera on the DSi is now. This would allow for some interesting applications and it would also be practical. You wouldn't have to wildly wave it around, you could just hover the stylus in front of the DS.

    Why have this when you have a touchscreen? For one, the touch screen has a limited size, whereas a motion sensor would allow for much more range.

    In reply to Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot Micro-Review: A Very Long Engagement
    I thought this was a great end-game experience. It's true, being level 50 will make you barely competent for these arenas. Being level 50 with level 50 weapon proficiency may help. All that plus some top weapons, class mods, shields, and lots of time and caution is what you really need though. I'm not bothered by the lack of experience points - this is really an end-game experience. The two skill points are great though (thank God you dont' have to complete the greater challenges to get them). The bank is much appreciated if you plan on saving multiple types of weapons for multiple weapon proficiencies. The Underdome is one of those rare experiences which is truly a gaming challenge. It's not about rewards at this level, it's more about gamer's pride: "Can you do it?" Because a lot of people won't be able to, at least with the greater challenges.

    On top of all of the great suggestions above, I request one last thing: If one owns a retro game on the store, be able to type in the serial code and just pay a transfer fee of a dollar. It would both convince people to play older games on the go and make Nintendo a little extra money.

    For the love of god switch the buttons to the way they are arranged on the Xbox 360, which is in alphabetical order. I've had my DS for a year now and I'm still not used to that.

    Also, let me get online with an online connection with a normal security set-up like every other WiFi device I've ever used (laptop, PSP, Wii, PS3, iPod Touch, etc). The DS has the worst online set-up I've ever seen with as many online games as it currently offers.

    Well theres rumors that the new Nintendo portable will be powered by the Nvidia Tegra 2, as will the PSP.

    From seeing what the Zune HD is capable of with an older Tegra, I can only image how much better games will look.

    Also, you only want 1 GB of internal storage? Thats not much at all, considering how much bigger games will likely become. I would say at least 4GB, but 8 would be nice.

    On the level where you had to protect the golden nut statue from the fighter planes, I just made a vehicle to carry the nut statue away to a nice hiding place, which worked beautifully.

    I love the fact that this game rewarded me for thinking creatively, after my brute force attempts at shooting down all the fighter planes failed.

    I wish more games forced me to think, rather than simply mash the A button over and over again (I'm looking at you, DQ)

    @Chinpokomon: I, like many other players, solved that mission with a vehicle that essentially surrounded the trophy in a protective cage. However, my cage had a certain twist.

    After landing my helicopter cage around the statue, I climbed up a series of platforms around the cage's perimeter to get to a cannonade at the top of the towering vehicle (which I could also catapult myself to directly out of the pilot's seat with an ejector mechanism), at which point I would shoot down the nearest planes to approach my ward.

    Removal of platforming elements be damned.

    Owen I am going to have to correct you on something.

    Quote: "But that also means kills also do not count toward your in-game challenges (which pay out experience at milestones) and that's a real pisser to discover."

    Untrue, I have completed 4 challenges all related to killing. Action Skill challenge, Critical Hit, Kills with Shotgun and Sniper Rifle.

    So this game mode is a really good way to complete Weapon challenges.

    I don't get why you would need storage either. I carry about 7 extra guns, a couple of character mods and grenades in my inventory and still have tons of space left over in my inventory. I don't even bother looting to sell anymore since my money counter reads all 9's and and hasn't moved since, and it's been like that since before I ever hit level 50.

    I think Mad Moxxis is Gearbox's response to people who were saying there's no "end game" (huh??? isn't this a FPS shooter with rpg elements?) and this gives people something to do endlessly once they hit level 50.
