I still hate you Charlie for the low blow at Sonic.

Aw. "Hate" is such a strong word...
GoldenMe  - 9 months 2 days ago 
Yes, it is.

Let me think.....Ah ha! Halo's!!!

One from Halo 3 of course VS. One from and angel! Videogames win, unless the angel is hot.

If you add this the next time Charlie, I will forgive you.

And great article! *hugs*

The only good things about Wii Music, just like shobuku said, are the suits and stuff that aren't even music. They made me laugh.

Great article by the way!

I disagree... Denny Crane could totally out-lawyer Phoenix Wright!

Hey Charlie and GamesRadar:
One, thanks for using a couple of my suggestions.
Two, check the link to Charlie's first article, it links to the 3rd page of Video Games Versus Real Life. I'm guessing you want it to link to the first page of that article.

I've got some suggestions, platforms, physics, snowboard tricks, loan sharks (i.e. tom nook), headshots, viruses (i.e. resident evil), parasites, bringing your love back to life (Shadow of the colossus versus CPR).

Real world DEFIANTLY for music! Lol, you took my idea for comparing volley ball, yay!!! And thank you indefinitely this time around for putting a censor bar on the monkey. I don't need animal nasty bits keeping me further up at night. Keep this up, there probably millions of combination out there.

I think that you should compare "available" weapons, or weapons that any civilian (coughmercenarycough) can get their hands on. Also, for people who have seen some of my other comments, I am glad to be under 250 letters.

I was looking at my resume when I clicked over and saw monkeyballs. I think I gave myself whiplash.
