@mrantimatter: I assure you that the rushed hack job of a port that the Xbox got didn't get much attention or resources from Square. No optimization for effects the 360 is capable of, video hastily run through a Bink codec with no variable bitrate.... Read more

An entire editorial full of an exhausting list of citations just so you could repeat the old fanboy argument "xbocks port made them ruin FF on PS3!!!" ? I've come to expect better. Read more

Too bad- from what I can see, it looks like it was a fairly clean specimen. Read more

Wait- there's porn on the Internet!? Read more

I played QWOP for about an hour back when it came out. It's funny te first few times the guy faceplants, then nothing but pure evil. Read more

@pj134: Kind of like how the Acuras are rebadged Accords and CRVs? Read more

@AngryFork: That's what West and Zampella claim. I'm not saying it's true, but the possibility exists that the bonuses were being held because Activision had found evidence something was going on, so they consulted with their lawyers to see if those two were in breach of contract.

@The One shot, something something has need of a 426: I thought they shot horse thieves? Read more

@Deuce: I disagree. Games in general, especially the bestsellers have more scripted events, cutscenes and linear paths than games from the PS2 era. Read more

This game would probably be difficult to get into for the first time nowadays. Not only do the framerate issues really introduce controller lag, but games have become so much more kinetic and scripted these days that SotC must come off as quaint and boring to people who didn't experience it in its heyday.

One of these days I need to sell my copy of RS for Saturn. My collecting days are over. Read more

So this place once played host to Aerosmith, but now holds cars instead? Read more

@UCD_Pike: The STS was criminally overlooked. Read more

@Datacide: I picked up Splosion Man for 2 bucks on Black Friday. Read more

Hey now, I liked my 2005 STS- it was the 2008 CTS before there was a 2008 CTS. Read more

@Ken_Raves: Achievements would be fine, since I got them all. Read more
