Agreed, but that's my point! The article says that starting with the DS they try to do more than just take a "previous system and upgrade the specs." Yes they've added to it, but they're all ideas that go back at least as far as 1999. Dreamcast launch title Sonic Adventure had a game that was transferrable to, and Read more

A console with a second screen is not unique. The Dreamcast with its near-mandatory VMU was perhaps the first widespread implementation of this idea, and anyone who did play calling in NFL 2K on one back in 1999 knows that the idea had merit. Read more

When we're talking about violent video games, let's never lose track of the fact that they are the minority of the video games industry. Read more

Actually, the vast majority of the game's industry is rated E10+ or lower: Madden, Forza, Gran Turismo, Mario, Tetris, etc. And they're often the most profitable games (when you consider they make up a lot of the top 100 best sellers, and generally cost less to make). Read more

I'm a console fan, have been back to the Intellivision, but I've been open-minded enough to bail to personal computers when the time was right. After the Intellivision I switched to the Commodore 64 and (later) the Commodore Amiga, then a short jaunt into DOS-based PCs for Star Control 2, before being lured back to

Maybe not, and yet I think it would work so well (and actually bring along for the ride a larger app catalogue than Win8RT).

'tis true, 'tis true. But all these rules are optional, and could be removed from an online game without a fundamental change of the gameplay. Read more

e-readers have become heavily regionalised. Nook is a spirited second place in the U.S. Kobo has over 50% marketshare in both Canada and France. In Australia and New Zealand, Sony is #1 (with Kobo #2, and Kindle relegated to third place). Read more

Not only did I plan to make the same comment, I planned to phrase it pretty much the same way. But then what do I know, every time I listen to "Gangam Style" all I can hear is "Gundam Style". Read more

I should add, though, that Fluxx itself doesn't excite me. Give me some Space Fluxx, or Martian Fluxx, or Zombie Fluxx, or Cthulhu Fluxx, and I'm a *lot* more interested. The newer games have a lot more interesting rules. Oh, and the new revision to Eco Fluxx, that has creepers that players must co-operate to fight Read more

I'd hoping for a Windows Phone and/or Windows RT (Surface) port! I'd buy it day 1. And every expansion. And almost every alternate version (Space Fluxx, Pirate Fluxx, Martian Fluxx, Oz Fluxx, etc.). Read more

Huge Fluxx fan here too! And I had just dumped my iPad for a Surface. :( Here's hoping for a Windows RT (or, even better, a Windows Phone) port. Read more
