Xeacons commented on: Nintendo DS: The first five years |
|
| Personally, I think the DSi XL should be treated like a new color. It's just a DSi, only BIGGER! So if you already have one, don't sweat it. I don't see it as a new system (or even a new version). I just hope it doesn't kill some great game launch like the DSi did last year (RIP, GTA:Chinatown). |

Xeacons commented on: Luigi: A life in the shadows |
|
| I've been waiting for those! And evil Peach and Daisy! Until you think about how much of a filler Waluigi really is. He only shows up in the mulitplayer/party games (and portable minigames) and then only as a filler. Pathetic. Wario, on the other hand, has been pretty popular, and has gone from villain to psuedohero. I think he's another one Luigi's problems. Just when he was getting out of Mario's shadow, BOOM! Here come's Wario! |

Xeacons commented on: Fanboys: 8 reasons why they deserve some respect |
|
| You have to admit. As much as we fight for connoisseurship, we tend to fall back on our fanboyness at times. It's what we do! But actually, it also tends to over-accentuate the problems of the consoles. I mean, do we ever hear about anything other than the 360's RROD rate, or PSN's crap, or the Wii's shovelware? Whatever happened to the good stuff? |

Xeacons commented on: The Top 7… Tasteful game heroines |
|
| Not bad at all! Have to love Samus and can't beat Alyx! But you have to apologize to Lara. She deserves a place on the list. Considering she was one the first memorable heroines, she's been the victim of more nude patches than anyone else. It's not the creators, or her reinventors who've made her "distasteful." In, and of herself, she always has been. Give her another chance. |

|
| Oh, great. Shadow Ryu. "Hey, I got a great idea: let's dunk the main character in ink and make you fight him before the main boss guy!" LOL! Love you guys! |

Xeacons commented on: Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! |
|
| I got the hat. Preferably, I would have gone with the calendar. At least THAT I could have used. As a platinum member, I should have had a choice of gold too. |

Xeacons commented on: Top 5 biggest rip-offs on the Wii |
|
| Motion capture NOTHING! Ha! I can't wait to see how bad Project Natal and Sony's "magic wand" thing flop and everybody goes back to classic controllers. You know what REALLY made the Wiimote any success at all? THE CURSER! Point and Click! The same action every PC has survived off of for the last 20 years (which I might add has been a bit lacking on the major consoles). Not the Wiimote Waggle. |

| Top things I hate about sports games: 1. Sports 2. ...nah, I think that pretty much covers it. |

Xeacons commented on: The Top 7... Scariest games you've never played |
|
| Oh Man! I gotta get a hold of some of these! Although Path and Haunted House are available (and yes I have played them) on Gametap. |

Xeacons commented on: 18 awesome games that died at retail |
|
| You want to know why Chinatown died? Three words: Dee Ess Eye! Software sales always slump in lew of major hardware release. The DSi killed a lot of great games early this year. And of course, Rockstar saw it coming. "Hey, I know how to shut all those Nintendo fans up: let's release our long-anticipated DS title right before a major system! That way, it'll flop, and we can complain about how awful Nintendo is, and we won't have to develop for them again! I mean, who wants a Nintendo fan for a buyer, anyway?" |

Xeacons commented on: Why the Dreamcast was different |
|
| Yeah, the DC was really last gen (PS2/Xbox era), above and beyond N64/PS1. Sega just gave up too early. |

I just hope it doesn't kill some great game launch like the DSi did last year (RIP, GTA:Chinatown).
