The Last Guardian (PS3): Last Guardian dev puts the boot into Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, promises to make something less crap this time
I would suggest that the writers of the article look at what games were recently released, what had the same release date and what was coming out when Shadow of the Colossus and Ico showed up. It's entirely possible that the games was overlooked by something more 'popular' or 'generic'. Figure if SotC was released at the same time as Resident Evil Whatever, gamers would buy the latter (that's just hypothetical). It's like movies being released on disc or in the theater. Marketing people know better than to release against big name or hyped up movies. It's not like any movie in their right mind was released when the Star Wars prequels showed up, right? I'm sure video games are the same way. Releasing a game like SotC against Gears of War or Halo would be suicide. And of course, marketing helps. Maybe airing the ads during WWE RAW is aiming at the wrong crowd?

ClassicRadar: The 16 most awesomely bad videogame movie moments
Oh, wasn't the Doom movie based on Doom4? And Mortal Kombat1 was deemed good mainly because it was compared to StreetFighter which sucked all over. Seeing how, back then, those were the two biggest fighting games, it was about which movie would be most 'faithful'. Mortal Kombat won out because it was darker, it had better action sequences, characters were fairly faithful and the story was better.

I remember when MK2 came out. Saw it in theaters. Everyone thought the writers (and director) were on crack for that animality scene. Sub-zero's entrance was, let's face it, bizarre. Still, it was nice to look at Kitana and Sonya. Being a casual gamer, I wouldn't have recognized the relation between movie and game. Far Cry in particular. I wonder how many times that has shown up on SYFY.

Every platform since PSOne defined by a single game
I thought the PS1 was more defined by Final Fantasy7 or Gran Turismo. PS2 was Gran Turismo again (these are just my assumptions). Xbox = Halo (?) N64 = GoldenEye (?) That's how I always thought of things.

2009's best Wii games (that died at retail)
I get this strange sense that the WII really is a kiddy-oriented console. Wasn't it last year people wanted more adult games? So Nintendo does it and it flops? Bummer.

Thinking about buying a PSP Go? Read this first
Thanks for the pros/cons. I'm not interested in one myself. I just got mine... Well, it's been almost 2 years now and I'm quite happy with my Darth Vader version. (ok, wish it were black w/ i dunno, a different screen thingy). My own complaint w/ the psp remains that you can't play it under natural light.

16 Dreamcast imports that should've come overseas
Uh, the screenshot from SegaSega (1st game) has the babilicious yet dead Nei from Phantasy Star2. Rika from Phantasy Star4 looked a lot like her but wasn't her. And for those that played the PSO/PS-Whatever games, them's numans tho they weren't called anything specific back then.

1 year, 3 months ago PSP is the number one gadget purchase in the UK... when it comes to regret
I held my psp slim (psp3000? whatever it's called. The darth vader edition) to my screen. Is the PSP GO that is photographed for our viewing pleasure a real-size GO?
