@TylDurden: Whoa, whoa. There's a shining force game for the iOS? How did I not know that?! Thanks for that great list - even more to check out! Now finding time to play them all after the steam holiday sale bonanza - that's the tricky part. Read more

Thanks for this. I got an ipod touch for xmas and I've been dabbling with some of the free stuff previously recommended on kotaku (textropolis, trainyard express, etc). Read more

@SethThresher: Yeah, I loved it too. Farragut west is where I used to get off when I worked in downtown DC; needless to say I couldn't resist going in there as a pathetic low-level guy in Fallout 3 and getting murdered by the feral ghouls in there. Read more

So one thing that will be under the tree for me is an ipod touch (4th gen). This is my first apple iAnything device - can anyone that has been using them for awhile recommend some great applications for productivity, schedule/project management, creativity (doodling, 2d/3d design, animation), and goofing off?

I was about to send this in to tips but I figured it would show up soon enough. And I was right! Read more

@Squishpoke: Just to clarify, are you talking about 'classic rock' (ie: 60s and 70s) or the rock from the 80s specifically? Also, the restriction to american bands only is kind of rough, considering you lose the stones, zeppelin, queen, the who, rush, the police, bowie, elton john; not even guess who. Read more

Ha, Leon Lett. He Steve Tasker'ed your ass! Read more

@jShazbot2: Sorry, I was going for a securom joke angle, like you'd get it on your computer even by watching a video xmas card from ubisoft. Bit obscure though I admit. Read more

note: by viewing this video you have installed a rootkit on your computer. Read more

Good thing the force unleashed II game is just a myth. Sort of like the Highlander 2 movie - sometimes people talk about it like it's real or swear they've seen it, but everyone knows they are just delusional or nuts. Read more

So as I've been working my way through Mass Effect 2 (yes I'm late to the party) I can't help but think about how much I would enjoy a traditional pen & paper rpg version of Mass Effect. Read more

@Alsandair: Yeah, for the actual gameplay part that would be hard to make easier. I meant more for the front end and menus and stuff. Read more

Wow. Apple has published extensive user interface guidelines for iDevices; this looks like no attention was paid to that at all. Read more

This is very close to my list as well. Can't do GT5 with no ps3. Holding off on Civ V until the gold edition bundling all the dlc rolls around. I got all my shooting this year with BFBC2 and to a lesser extent monday night combat, and I feel like I got enough fallout with 3 last year. Read more

Not sure why but the demo for this game left me cold. I should have been all over it; I played a ton of Burnout and my taste in racers tends to be more arcade than sim. Read more

Also just popped up for pre-order on amazon, complete with box art and other images: Read more

@Eternal: You know that's an urban legend right? Jordan didn't have anything to do with putting that video together. Read more

@HowIsYourFlat: We all do, one way or another ;) Read more

@Taggart451: Yes, yes, mr I won a kinect bundle from BK; we know :D Read more

@Kadin: How did you find that? I've been searching like crazy; I actually thought it had been canceled. Read more
