@zackfair: Gmail requires 6 characters, so I've held off getting one. My @msn.com is getting a little long in the tooth but I like being unique (despite having an underscore... my secret shame). Read more

I was seriously impressed by the representation, even if I doubted many of the positions. When I have time I'll go back and actually read everything and see if they justify it, but typically for me it was all "DK at 50? Illidan above Arthas?" and stuff like that. Read more

I've marked Tekken down in the "franchises I no longer care about" group. It was a sad day for me, as Tekken 2 was my first ever console game (late to the party, I know). Read more

@InAnimateAlpha: Ooh, that's a toughie then. I'd suggest making sure Hope keeps Haste on at least Fang at all times to speed things up. Spending a lot of time buffing/debuffing is largely a waste of time once he pulls out his second sword, and its faster to use a Phoenix Down to bring back a dead teammate than it is… Read more

@InAnimateAlpha: Have Fang/Sazh/Snow as party leader and don't bother switching to Sentinel unless Attacus is targeting them specifically. Start off with Com/Rav/RAv, switch Hope or Vanille to a medic once he pulls out his second sword. Read more

I'd say it's peaked, but there's a lot in Cata to entice old WoW vets back. Aside from game stuff though, there's less reason for me to go back. Read more

@clumsypanda: I thought that while playing through, but looking back I'm not so sure. I found them all quite likeable, but they still suffer from not being very multi-dimensional. Read more

@L___E___T: I thought I picked my examples quite well. Read more

I am wholly okay with games having terrible stories (most of them do) as long as they have great characters. Read more

@Hraesvelgr: My point was more to do with how you get less content on a PSP game, but I see your point. Read more

P3P had to remove map exploring and The Answer to make enough space to fit on a UMD, I'd really rather it stayed on PS3. Read more

@cyber rat: ... I knew that! Read more

@Pixel Breaker: It occurs to me that Nintendo have a massive upper hand in terms of 1st party titles. Sony have Nate Drake and Killzone (Jak? Crash? Spyro? None of them have really stuck). Microsoft of course have the juggernaut Halo brand, but that's pretty much it. Read more

@HitBit: First party exclusives are definitely awesome ways of showcasing how to get the most from the technology. Third party exclusives tend to lack that polish though. Read more

@Batman: Valve are increasingly in the business of selling games, not making them Read more

@ChuckCharles: What you think the alternative to UMD could be? Sony do like forcing formats (3.5 inch floppies, minidiscs, blu-ray) but part of it might have been a concession to retail - we've seen that many were unwilling to stock the PSPgo. Read more

@mithrilfox: Elmorepow has a great list up there, if you're still curious. In fact [www.gamerankings.com] shows every PSP title that's reviewed well. Read more

@Pixel Breaker: Did... did you see the bit where I specified non-first party? Read more

@Deanb: That was fun. I voted less for SP + MP than pure SP games because the SP games I buy tend to be RPGs, and they're easily worth more to me. Read more

Can you hear that? Those are dying gasps of non-first party console exclusivity. Read more
