    @D-K: Look, making a wrestling game for consoles is fine but putting them on handhelds is Crossing the Line.

    The game is either going to tank or bodyslam the competition.

    @D-K: Aside from wrestling games having their own niche, this title has the addition of a 6 sided ring.

    Other than that, now wrestling games are being treated like sports games, with a new iteration every year (or so).

    This makes me so happy. I am going to start on another model soon, but sadly, I could never have enough to make an entire tree.

    Also, I am SO buying this game as soon as it comes out. I have the older version, and I got to play a bit of Next when it came out, so Next Plus has a spot waiting for it on my game shelf.

    While the PSP isn't the most ideal device to study with, the web browser is decent enough and it can work pretty well as an ebook reader...though an actual ebook app would be better.

    @-MasterDex-: Yeah I have to agree. I'm thinking they probably went with this because it's possibly quite cheap to buy a lot of PSP 3000s in bulk.

    Some suggested the iphone/ipod touch. But those are more expensive or require a price for firmware upgrades. (despite the dev software being free)

    Also I get the feeling that if they buy a PSP dev kit that they sell for PSP Minis that might be enough to make a few simple tutorial programs. As is quite a few universities in the UK get PSPs for programming training purposes in their labs and this just seems to be convenient like that.

    Educational software on handhelds isn't a bad idea regardless of which handheld it is. Now all they need is stuff like the Rosetta program for mainstream users.

    @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.

    Just a few quick things. First, Warner/DC doesn't have any sort of digital comic option at the moment (short of the occasional "motion comic") for any platform. The publisher has been lagging behind everyone else in this regard.

    Second, Dark Horse and DC are two completely different companies. No DC has no bearing whatsoever on Dark Horse being listed on the service yet.

    Finally, as far as "no Image", the deal Sony has with iVerse (which provides digital comics with an iPod app already) actually includes Image listed in the publishers, alongside Ape Red 5, and Archie. It's even listed in the source article.

    @WldCard: what he said... Marvel has their own digital comic service. You can few some old comics for free on their website. DC however doesn't, though DC has more selection of comics, what with them owning Vertigo and Wildstorm.

    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: No, no, no, no. This is absurd.

    You clearly have no love for comic books and no appreciation for history.

    Superman was a comic that was published in a time when comics were just starting to get popular, and it was a comic that would represent the fear of thousands of Americans facing a grisly world war.

    Superman is one of the most important comic series ever made, and is an integral component of everything about super heroes.

    I agree that the character is not entirely interesting, but to claim that Superman is the worst comic book super hero ever is pretty ignorant, baseless, and all around stupid.

    @GunFlame: Wolverine isn't immortal, you can drown him. Deadpool figured it out. Even then, you describe Wolverine as a gradual decline, but Superman has always been awful. An invulnerable man? What's the point? The exciting thing about Spidey is he can get shot to pieces and die as a result, and with Wolverine there's the massive issues with his past that crop up combined with the fact that, OK, he can't be shot to death, but you can incapacitate him for a long time with a gun.

    @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.
