    Too bad Tyler Bates can't properly write music, let alone compose a competent soundtrack for a movie or a game. That much was painfully clear when I saw Watchmen because along with Bates' compositions were cues composed by Phillip Glass and Mozart.

    Bates needs to learn that if you have a freaking huge orchestra to record a score you shouldn't overpower it with synth sounds. You may as well not have an orchestra at all then.

    I know it's a blog and not a print magazine, but can you guys start using some sort of proper text-decoration on game titles? A nice underline would say "This is a real medium and we treat it as such"

    @kevinmcginn01: Actually, given that this is the web, a nice underline would say "this is a link to another page, click me to go there".

    (I agree, it's easier to read titles when they've been formatted as such, but I'd suggest italics or even the dreaded all-caps are probably better for a website than underlines. I seem to recall reading somewhere that people only underline titles because an underline is manuscript markup for 'make this italics, which I can't type on my typewriter' anyway.)

    these are the kinds of games that make absolute sense to remake on the iphone.. not sonic, megaman, and streets of rage.

    @shouryuuken: I was getting ready to post the same thing.

    Despite the fact that I refuse to buy an iPhone or iPod, its a great thing to see classics like this being reborn on them. I would love to see some more classic games like Myst and Shivers out there too. Especially if they release a port for Android, because then I'd snap them up in two seconds.

    @unruly: word, i love the ipod touch.. if it had buttons itd definitely be the best portable out there. granted, the ds has more games that i like, but the pricing and the lack of cartridges that are small and get lost (or umds that break easily) is a big plus.

    i already prefer it to the psp, but the ds has all those amazing 2d games that i love so much and cant get elsewhere. not to mention cool stuff like layton and phoenix wright..
