autofire, reminds me of that one cutscene from the twin snakes, the torture scene where revolver ocelot looks at the screen, points to the player and says "don't even think about using auto fire or i'll know" really frustrating though, that button is not on first party controllers, it is from a third party company like nyko or a company like that, as soon as you used that button he'd kill you giving you an game over by default. to the actual topic, words or phrases you never hear would be third party nintendo controllers although one is currently in development no other company besides nintendo has made a wii remote and the system is nintendo.

i use the term wrapping, but more in a way that it means clearing 100% of the game like on brawl for example, i would say i wrapped it if i unlocked absolutely everything there is to unlock, have all trophies, all stickers, max coins, max trophies and stickers, etc. or in a game where completing the story doesn't simply mean you've done all there is to be done in the game. if you do not understand this then it's like beating mgs3 on every difficulty, getting all the camouflages and facepaint on each, unlocking the stealth camouflage, having no alerts on extreme, no continues on extreme, etc.

Good article, but I sense a little bit of a superiority complex on behalf of the author... Especially with the Playability/Lastabilty wisecrack.

"Not an experimental ambient-jazz-fusion-rock four-piece from Eastern Europe.."
Hah!
So would that be like the Ruskie version of Radiohead?

Megan Fox is certainly a bit of a one isn't she? Fair play to her on her, erm, achievements.
Anyway, showing my geat age here, but does anyone else recall the days*(C64 and Speccy for me)when you got the code in mags to type in for , like, full games!??
I remember taking two days trying to get a version of Hunchback to work on the C64 and failing even though it was all correct(turned out, when I got the next mag, to be a fikkin typo!)! Was thinking just how much code it would be for Gears or KZ2! Imagine!
Plus, those mags always had bloody typos! It only took one to wreck it too so why did we, and they, ever bother with that crap?
