Hey, if you order from Gamestop you <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?pro ... 0511A">get a free Shadow branded beanie</a>! So that way, you can wear it to school and get your ass kicked for being a nerd <i>and</i> for having bad taste in games.

Amazing how the fighting genre is almost completely ignored. No 2d fighters at all, and all we get is mediocre-ass DoA3. No Otogi and no Psychonauts also makes me cry. While we're on the subject of the 360, has anyone played one of the store kiosk units yet? I played Call of Duty 2, and while it pla...

Re: Kuwabara and stuff.

I already sent it to repairs, and, in the worst possibility, I'll have to buy another one. Sure, the Revolution runs GC games, but I'm not very interested in waiting 1-2 years to buy one just to play Shadow and Megaman X Collection (and, if it interests me enough, the new Zelda). ... You're interes...

I at first assumed "Wanda" was the dead chick, but whether its "Wander" or "Wanda" doesn't really matter, cause this game kicks copious amounts of ass. I'm only on the third colossus, but so far I'm having a good time with it. I'd put it just a tier below Ico, but it's still better than most of the ...

Fable is fun... for the two hours it lasts. It's filled with a lot of half-assed design choices that let you know just how much was cut from the actual game-- Your character ages, but no one else in the world does, so by the end of the game, you look like you're about twenty years older than your ol...

Yeah, but this is Matt Casamassina we're talking about; the same guy who proclaims the Dreamcast versions of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 were rated too highly, and then gave Sonic Heroes an 8 out of 10 (The Gamecube version). All the previews I've read in other websites and magazines are pretty much th...

Maybe the Smurfs wouldn't have gotten bombed if they weren't hiding weapons of mass destruction.

Or um, maybe they were effecting America's safety.

Or rather, they were keeping us from spreading Freedom. Yeah, that sounds about right. Stupid Smurfs. Mission Accomplished.

Well at least Nintendo is using crappy Zelda characters in their spin-offs rather than putting the main characters like Link or Zelda into a tennis or basketball game. Crazy Penguin is right though, I really hope Nintendo doesn't ho Zelda out like they did with Mario. Speaking of which, has anyone h...

I really hope the 360 overtakes the PS3 in terms of popularity... Not because I like Microsoft (which I don't), but because Sony needs some fucking competition. Nintendo seems content to do their own thing and ignore the rest of the universe, so Sony really needs a real rival. The 16-bit generation ...

The Turks are fuckin' awesome, and so is Rufus. But Rufus was always cool. He's so cool, he has to wear two trench coats.

I saw it. And it was fucking awesome. The story really isn't all that bad... It's pretty much a lot of fanservice for the hardcore FF7-fans, with all the cameos, FF in-jokes and obscure refrences.

No matter how hard I try, I can't get excited about the 360. An Xbox launching without a Halo game is like the Gamecube launching without a Mario. Everything else on the system seems like a second-tier title to me; the kind of game you only buy when their prices have been marked down, you have some ...

I think NiGHTS with Rev.'s motion control would work.

From what I understand, you can rotate the controller 90 degrees and use it like a NES pad for more traditional games... The motion sensor in the controller notices when you do this and adjusts the orientation of the D-Pad accordingly (so up is up and so forth)... I dunno, the more I think about the...

Ok. I'm a fucking Nintendo fanboy, and I think this might just be the most underwhelming, disappointing thing Nintendo has ever created. One d-pad. Two face buttons.

Why couldn't they just have made a Tillis riding game instead? Like, a game that involves riding Tillis.
