    1. Go for electronic goods first.
    2. Avoid being trampled.
    3. Avoid bringing children along. They have small hands.
    3. Utilize the "drop-kick" when necessary.
    4. Take no prisoners.

    I would have loved to play that sit down cabinet when I was a kid. I only had the stand up machine available at my grocery store arcade.

    @Kobun: Strangely I still have the access to go down to my local Casino and play racing games and a wide variety of games for me to stand up. Then of course, there's the midway games (and not the company).

    @Portalgamer19: My local casinos don't have arcades, at least any that I'm aware. That's possibly because they're all standalone casinos with no room and board making them an unlikely family outing, at least enough to consider having an arcade. The ones in Biloxi were built with hotels, and I know one of them at least used to have an arcade. Maybe when I'm bored one day I'll make the drive to check it out.

And then there's all the flavours kryptonite comes in.

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): Wolverine is just as bad if not worse.

    With him, he started off as a guy who could heal quicker that a normal person.

    Now, he's virtually invunerable. An immortal as well.
    If he plays a part in a storyline then you can pretty much count on him being the guy who is the key man.

    @ThursdayNext: @i_pooped_on_:

    I'd even dissagree about wether or not he's interesting. EVERY character is uniteresting with the wrong writter. Geoff Johns work on Superman so far has made from some interesting reading. Brian Azzarello's run on Superman was great. How does being overpowered make you unintersting? Why is that a factor? The stories of mythological gods from Greek, Roman, Norse... and pretty much every other mythology are interesting and most of them are ridiculously over powered. In the hands of a good writer Superman is one of the most amazing characters I've ever read. Mark Waid's intro to the second volume of Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman has a wonderful quote

    ".... but the big moment is the perfect line of dialogue. It comes in Chapter Ten, when Superman, without a second's hesitation, takes time from his world-building feats to embrace and comfort a suicidal young girl. When he tells her, 'You're much stronger than you think you are,' they become the most moving words we have ever read in a Superman story. And they are perfect because they reveal in one sentence, the fundamental secret of Superman and why we love him so:

    "Gods achieve their power by encouraging us to believe in them.

    "Superman achieves his power by believing in us."

    The powers and abilities of characters are very superficial things that are interesting on the surface like an action scene, but it's how the writer uses what's there and crafts an actual story out of it that makes a character interesting. Batman's probably my favorite superhero (a little cliched I know) but Superman's a damn close second.

    You know, considering that Sony are making a MMO for them, it does seem a bit weird that they're not a part of this service.

    Of course, as they are working closely with them for that, it does make a "Surprise Reveal" a bit more likely. Or maybe they're not going to be there at launch of the service, but later to coincide DC Universe Online launch...

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): The more i think about it, the more plausible i think that is. They could generate a huge buzz for the release of DC Universe Online by advertising it alongside "the much anticipated release of DC Comics, only on the PSN!"

    In reply to Assassin's Creed Bloodlines Review: Thicker Than Water?
    I thought this game was pretty good for a PSP title. It featured everything I liked in Assassin's Creed: brutal, satisfying combos, impressive inverse kinematics in climbing animations, music by Jesper Kyd - while fixing some of the things I hated in Assassin's Creed: improved emphasis on stealth gameplay, GTA-style game progression (no more of this 'do 10 pickpocket missions before you kill someone') and the "blend" button doesn't make you ENTIRELY invisible anymore (although it's still got nothing on AC2's blending).

    Also, I don't know if it's just me, but the level designs feel a little more Prince of Persia-esque. If you ask me, I'd say this PSP Assassin's Creed is more fun to play than the original console one.

    This is the best list of good PSP games I have seen on teh internets so far:

    [anchan.an.ohost.de]

    Copy here:
    [img28.imageshack.us]

    As for my recommendations:

    1. Lumines
    2. Wipeout Pure
    3. Burnout Legends
    4. God of War: Chains of Olympus
    5. Super Stardust Portable
    6. Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony
    7. Tekken Dark Resurrection
    8. Daxter
    9. Crush
    10. Mercury

    Most of those are from early PSP era - and they still are the best there are. Which tells you a lot about PSP lineup, by the way.

    Not sure if they all have PSPGo versions, though.

    In reply to LittleBigPlanet PSP Now Available Digitally
    I've been mad stuck into this since getting the retail copy last Friday. The create mode takes a bit of getting used to and freezing can be common in create mode. There's no ability to make hollows in objects but hollow objects can be made with a bit of effort and the corner tool (which is invaluable in this version).

    It was inevitable that the create mode would have to be changed to fit the handheld but they managed to fit in all the tools and plenty of materials. Also, the ability to make an item static or dynamic means no more need for dark matter though a few things need to be patched in like a copy and flip option for objects (confirmed to be on the way).

    If you decide to get the game, check out Super Sackball online. Can't remember who the creator is but it's a great little pinball game.

    @Malfunktion v2: You get stronger weapons early on (especially if you beat the PSP game) and carry over the money earned. But if your only reason to play the PSP game is for those bonus, prepare to be disappointed. Enjoy AC2 right away.
