Batman's discussions

@Stephen Totilo: De Blob 2 for one thing. It comes out February 22nd I believe. Also Conduit 2 in March, although it's not really my thing. Read more

@Robert Weston:I use glyde for wii games. I've loved the service so far, and games seem to settle at about what I think they're worth. Read more

Target has a great selection of $10 PC games. I do steam sometimes, and amazon frequently. Read more

I beat this one a while back. It's pretty good. Read more

@Diamond Sea: If you're in the US check Glyde.com. I got mine for $8 a while back. Read more

@merc-ai: The problem I have is that the games of the nineties offered compelling worlds with many characters. Current sandbox games seem to have gone with the bigger rather than better philosophy. Read more

@creamed_corn: It makes sense as a DRM method, but I don't think it does in the other respects. Storage and hardware are getting cheaper over time. Current graphics technology is quickly reaching a plateau. As our internet infrastructure lags behind, I don't think it makes sense to base a gaming system around one… Read more

I don't think it's fair to discount the fact that the PS2 could play DVDs as well as games. It was a major draw for a lot of people at my school at the time, and I personally know several parents who chose it solely because it was a "bargain" because it included a DVD player. For better or worse, the success of the… Read more

@Kotaku Reject: Rock of Love. Read more

@Rio-GT: It's not really a conspiracy. It's pretty open knowledge that publishers have a lot of money on the line so they give a lot of hard and soft incentives for good reviews. Read more

@Archaotic: Then why is it so heavily covered on gamer sites, not just news ones, but also places like Penny Arcade? Read more

It's Star Wars, it always looks awesome. Read more

@adam483t: Happy birthday, how old are you? Read more

@Shiryu: How was the sky crawlers? Also, it's missing the crucial Endless Ocean 2. We logged 128 hours on that game. Read more

@Michael Dukakis: And their school boards... Read more

@LucasReis: Nah, it's just that I heard the same argument about serious gamers never playing on a console when Halo came out, and yet here we are. Many developers and all publishers don't care about "real gamers," just how much money they make. Read more

@Kermi: I know it's off topic, but I would rather have Duke Nukem than a game as art. Read more

@MirrorForTheSun: Read the Once and Future King before denigrating the noble goose. It's a more attractive lifestyle than you might think. Read more

@CeramicQuote: Absolutely, although I do think sex was far more believable in Baldur's Gate II than in Mass Effect 1 or 2. The fact that it was independant from the plot and the way Aerie became clingy and Viconia became dismissive remind me of actual people. Mass Effect is somewhat too cinematic for that, and the… Read more

@My Little Metroid: I don't think bleeping would be that hard. It would be a simple search and replace or text filter. I actually don't think getting rid of blood would be that hard either. Couldn't you set the color value to clear or null, and wouldn't that solve it? Censoring sex and gore on the other hand would… Read more
