@Orihalcon: A ban because Microsoft fucked up? I can't imagine the shitstorm that would happen if they tried. Read more

@Justin Kernan: Yeah, I was going to say, I just checked and it's not there. Oh well, I've pre-ordered the collector's edition... Read more

Being someone that, you know, remembers, I often wonder how much space is taken up by allowing for free roaming. FFVII, for example, allowed me to visit most towns on all three discs. Surely that content took up the same space and meant that more discs were required depending on when you could and could no longer… Read more

@Falindrith Lanthaloran: I hope you're seriously not comparing games to film and theatre such as Schindler's List and Hamlet, respectively. Read more

I'm going to totally ignore the point of this thread and simply say that there needs to be a Star Wars fighting game in the same spirit as Bushido Blade. Read more

@General Gumball: I prefer it that way. Friday is late shopping night, so I just nip round to the store after work, pick it up, head home and start playing. No need to take days of work or any of that silly business as it's already the weekend. :) Read more

@GoldVrod: Wait, you think his kids, who are only 4 and 7 and get 30 minutes of screen time a week to play games online, surf the Web or print out coloring pages, are going to read his blog on the website for the San Jose Mercury Sun? Read more

@Spin_196: He didn't post it on Kotaku. He posted it on his blog over at the website for the San Jose Mercury News. Kotaku editors picked up on it and posted it here because they knew it would be something we would be interested in and would get us talking. Read more

@ɟɹnsǝɥʇɥdɹnɯ: "Man, I'm surprised he didn't return his kids when he came to the realization that THEY had major 'hidden costs'..." Read more

I think it's an article like this that shows the divide that exists on the Internet. I remember a while ago I searched for "Sonic" on Google Images. Safe search was turned on. The first result? A picture of Sonic fucking a rather distressed Tails in the ass. (It's since been relegated to the second page, which is… Read more

@GoldVrod: How is it up there on that pedestal. Looks like the distance is making it a bit hard to read. Where did he say in either article that he announced the purchase of a Wii to his kids? Oh that's right, he didn't; you assumed. And you know what they say about assumptions. Read more

I think they're all good, for different reasons. But if we're talking in terms of serious covers, I'm going to have to go with 7 — and 17 is a close runner-up. 4 is technically impressive, and 5 is very powerful but I know the imagine is from a Fabryka Slow cover... Read more

@Zugdaga: Oh, thanks for clearing that up for me. I always thought the attraction of American football was that you could smack someone who didn't have the ball — or is that just the blockers? Read more

The problem with Olympic games is that knowing the rules of a given sport are required to fully enjoy the video game version. For example, I rented out Madden last night and I had no freaking clue what I was doing. I got the general downs versus yards thing, but when it came to anything more complicated than "get over… Read more

@Primebuster: I sort of wonder, do people really recognise it as him? Or is it totally just hyperbole? Read more

Tekken 6 has wonderful character costumes and designs. That's why it's so laughably tragic that all that effort went into the areas of customisation. I can stick with the excellent defaults, or I can make my character look like a unicorn threw up. (¬_¬) Read more

I look at Mr. Perfect and I just know that I will never achieve it. But I'm okay with that. I remember when I first got Smash TV for my 360. That was the day I got over my compulsion to get every achievement in a game. Read more

I like how the 1999 PC game is treated as the "original" here. It's as if the Jaguar version is the soulless ginger of the family. Read more

@ceooflhm: And as I said, you're precious. Read more

@enDyne: Possibly. I can't remember when I got into the closed beta, but I do remember it was before Modern Warfare 2. At the point, I was also like "Fuck Call of Duty." I just felt the game was bland all round. Little things from the exclusively English accents (except the one accent that sounded like an Englishman… Read more
