It's really no surprise to anybody that the PS3 was definitely a contributing factor to [the delay].

Now, we're neck and neck. That's not an issue anymore. But back then that was something we were taking into account. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the PS3 version. It's awesome. They're both identical.

What some have been referring to as "the next Power Rangers console game to be released after Power Rangers: Dino Thunder", I will forever remember as the one game at Comic Con that disappointed me most.

After waiting in an extremely short line—no player stood taller than 4 feet—I got an opportunity to get my hands on the warm DualShock still sticky from juice box run-off for a chance to take out whatever enemy it is the Power Rangers normally battle.

Getting a grip on the Power Rangers mythos wasn't an easy task, but seemed essential to understanding my pink ranger's motivation to hit stuff. My research consisted of eavesdropping on a conversation between what appeared to be a grown man and Disney Interactive rep, both of whom seemed to know a lot about the show. It is just a TV show, right? One that's about punching and kicking things? Armed with that knowledge, I was ready to have at it.

Having watched my 6 and 7-year old peers struggle to play the game's co-operative mode, I began to fantasize about playing an undiscovered gem of a 2.5D brawler. Could this be the next Viewtiful Joe? It was cel-shaded after all. Plus, I just assumed that these children, barely able to wrap their longest digits around to the L1 and R1 buttons, simply didn't understand what I envisioned to be a deep fighting system.

There was wall-jumping, gun play, finishing moves, speed dodging and what appeared to be solid fisticuffs. Power Rangers: Super Legends also had what seemed like plenty of item collecting bonuses, with hidden power ups and collectibles that would take expert platforming skills to reach. I simply couldn't wait to be the one to dust off this diamond in the rough.

After dispatching a handful of bad guys, it became clear that the nuances of the fighting engine would take some time to unravel. Would it take timing? Creative button combinations? Pressing X more? It certainly wasn't challenging, so I experimented.

Yet I failed to truly enjoy myself.

With a few dozen (hundred?) brawls under my pink ranger's belt, I couldn't quite grasp what I had initially presumed to be so enjoyable about the title. Was I missing something? The graphics were clean, the animation fluid, the mechanics potentially workable—so why did Power Rangers: Super Legends not succeed in maintaining my interest through countless rounds of karate kicking, gun blasting and crate smashing?

Turns out the game actually just sucks.

We just got word of one development house who falls into the latter category, CCing this icky warning to its employees.

This message is specifically targeted to the individual that has decided to start smearing feces and boogers on the bathroom stall walls over the last few months. Just so you know, we have a basic timeline of when this started and have been carefully comparing it to the hiring records. As I've had to field the complaints I'm also considering implementation of scheduled breaks where the condition of the bathroom will be monitored. I'm really quite disgusted to have to do this but it must stop. Since this is an act of vandalism that **** has to pay to clean, I plan to involve **** security and the **** police as soon as we catch you.

Yuck! You thought game development was hard? Try mid-level management! This whole scenario reminds me of this classic Onion bit.

Know who this is? Everybody gets one guess in the comments! Michael McWhertor

Pointing Fish says: This promoted business exec appeared on stage at a poorly received press conference last year. Later, he would later laugh off the ensuing jokes publicly. However, around the office, it was a different story altogether! He caught one of his employees watching a YouTube version of that press conference and took that employee into his office, where he went into a 15 minute rant about watching that clip. He said, and we quote, "Watching that is what jealous people do." The employee felt disgusted after the ordeal, and word hasn't it that this exec wasn't exactly loved by his underlings. Okay, so who is it? Brian Ashcraft

Pointing Fish says: This game designer has been credited with one of the most successful fighting series ever. A few years back, he left his previous company to create his own start-up. Word is that while he has taken credit for that fighting series, he actually has taken too much or all the credit. During his residency at his previous employer, he was actually against greenlighting what turned out to be a hugely successful horror franchise. And later, he would even take credit for helping to get that game made as well! Currently, he holds the distinction of making launch games on both the Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3. Okay, Kotaku-land, guess away in the comments section. Brian Ashcraft
