well hang on a bit, you don't have a monopoly on what is a great game. Naughty bear is a good deal more entertaining than Madworld, which frankly, is a bit shit. and after constantly being bombarded by your glowing recommendation of Okami i was rather dissapointed.

different strokes for different people, and just because a game steps a bit out of the formula does by no means make it interesting or better than the tried and true. i'll take another CoD over something like Psychonauts anyday, because in the end, nothing beats pulling of headshots in the good company of your friends. a pretentious wolf with a magic paintbrush isn't even close.

everyone DO play to win, it's just not everyone who will go to the extremes to do so.

show me one person who genuinely play to lose, or to draw.

have they done earthworm?

2012 is exactly what i am expecting as well.

whether Sony or MS is the first to launch their console the other will soon follow. im not so sure the next MS console will be called XBOX 720 though, if they even keep the XBOX name it isnt unlikely that they will stop naming by degrees.

unless Nintendo completely changes form their new console will be more or less irrelevant and have no bearing on the sales of PS4 or MS' new console.

looking forward to new consoles myself. sure they still have some life in them, but technology has improved heaps since 360 and ps3 were launched.

i like it, but some new games would be good.

ive already played ocarina, it was averagely decent then, and will still be on the 3DS. same game.

already played snake eater, was awesome then, no need to play it for the umpteenth time.

already played mario kart, nothing new there.

kid icarus could be really good.

if that screen of Kingdom Hearts was from the 3DS i cant see how you can claim Resi to be prettiest portable game. but i suppose it wasnt :(

already played starfox as well, no need to play it again.

paper mario is so good it may be worth a purchase even if its just a remake.

SFIV is overrated, and shallower than an alcoholics brandy-bottle. its its 2010, i expect fighters to have more than 14 attacks per character, i also expect devs to balance the game so you cant just tiger-punch to win.

i want pokemon to go 3D, with Stadium graphics. and a Super Smash Brothers would be awesome too. Metroid couldnt possibly go wrong on the 3DS either, but instead nintendo wants me to play Epona's song on that damn Ocarina again, in a game that is nowhere near as good as A Link To The Past. no thanks, i'll get the 3DS for sure, but Ninty can keep this rehashed crap to themselves.

E3 this year has been meh all over, skyward sword is looking like the same old trite, wonder if we get the boomerang or hookshot first this time, oh the exitement. MS didnt impress, nor did Sony. luckily i have all the current gen consoles, so the few gems that pop up will be available to me whichever platform its for.

my 360 is green, so i hope Natal will be available in more colours.

this wont have to be right in front of my gaming area will it? already have a wii sensor on top of the TV, and will probably have to place the Move camera there once i get it.

right, this doesnt look like a step in any direction. even by just the picture you can tell there will be over-exaggerated joy and enthusiasm.

i bet these models' gaming experience stretches as far as having played MW2 once and read a review of Braid.

i only have one gaming-related shirt, the first "i'd hit that!" shirt, even the same colour. a gift from my girlfriend for 3 years now, so your analogy may be a little off there, Henry. ;)
at least the girls who can appreciate the culture of games will find them funny, maybe even cute, and the ones who don't appreciate the culture sure wouldnt get too well along with a guy who is so into gaming he wears it on his sleve, you could almost say they work as a filter.

could someone explain the "cowbell hero?"

i got 11.

i hardly think this game will make me question the existence of a god or devil any more than Harry Potter made me question the existance of a world of magic hidden away from ours in plain sight.

but maybe the reviewer was trying to make a point by taking the phantasmagoria further by common example.

i'd have liked to seen it compared to heavy rain, QD seems to think they are the only studio to care about storytelling (which obviously isnt a whole lot).
