the new kingdom hearts game is a freaking mouth full despite how innocent it looks.

kingdom hearts: 358/2 days

but in all seriousness... wtf does it mean?!

hahahahaha!!
nice..

So the random encounter haven't been tweaked or molded at all, yet you admit that Final Fantasy 11 and 12 don't HAVE random encounters. k.

SNAKE Eaterrrrrr!!!! I cringed in embarrassment the first time i saw this.

LOL! Great article haha

I agree with timshank.
Horrible article full of shallow points. Note to readers: big words and good grammar are not equal to a valid point.

Oh, and like everyone else: Half-Life 2's story is pale in comparrison to MGS 3's despite the phenomenal gameplay. I can recall plenty of times in MGS 3 when my eyes bulged and my spine tingled, from parts in the game AND from the cutscenes (especially the end to include after the credits). Half-Life 2? Not so much.. I definitely got a rush from HL 2 at times, but I never really got THAT excited.

I don't know what a real story is because I enjoy the stories that I help progress in video games? Right. Things aren't going to change because things are just fine. Quit finding pointless reasons to bitch and enjoy what awesomeness you have been given.

Wow. I hate EA more than ever... I knew they had some sort of corrupt hand in buying out the NFL, but 15 YEARS?!?!

Thank god for Castlevania keeping the side scrolling alive =)

...and Capcom's Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers is one of my all time favorite platformers. I wouldn't mind seeing this on VConsole or *GASP*, a remake? maybe? The target audience would be minuscule, but I can dream!

I have to agree on Mario Kart DS.. That game truly defines the Mario Kart series. I however LOVED the first Paper Mario for 64, it wasn't really that chatty when compared to the sequels. They should beef up the core game and rerelease it for the DS!

Speaking of Mario + DS, where the heck is New Super Mario Bros 2?? I think we need some Yoshi this time around..

I've been saying that all along in regards to Castlevania... A beefed up 2-D game on PS3 would be epic and could possibly set a new bar for the franchise.

Those blue shell pics are freaking hilarious!

"...as this was also the first console game based on Return of the Jedi"

Hate to heckle, but that's not true! I had the original Return of the Jedi game for 2600 when I was a kid. Death Star Battle I think it was called? I don't remember.

Not a huge fan of VII, but this game was definitely worth it!

Have to check this one out =)

Castlevania, Chrono Trigger, Far Cry 2, Mirror's Edge, Little Big Planet, SF II: Turbo HD!! OMG!!! Holidays are truly the best time to be a gamer ;)

Awesome.
This list must have taken quite a bit of time to put together, bravo! Mega Man II, III, and X are my favorites.

"You did not" and getting a response of, "Swear to God, got it at Chunky's for two dollars."

Nice Group X reference lmao!

"They have done this already."

I know they have.. I was referring to the "next gen" of Nintendo handheld, not the DS. The DS is hardcore heaven and i heartily agree with you ;)

To: Mega 64
Yeah dude, because the PSP HAS a camera..

Anyway,
I'm definitely excited for the DS lineup and the new hardware. Lots of quality games coming our way pretty soon.. As for the Wii, lol. yeah.. wouldn't expect anymore out of that piece of crap.

My biggest concern? Is Nintendo going to go all casual with the next gen handheld? If so, my heart will shatter. Sony's alternative is boring and regurgitated... Nintendo has to be brainstorming a next gen handheld by now.. PLEASE! PLEASE DO NOT LET US DOWN!!! Nintendo handhelds have always been my lifeblood since I was a wee lad with my green screened Game Boy. I don't know what I'd do without a good Nintendo Handheld =(

The DS managed to be mass appealing to both the Hardcore (especially RPG) crowd AND the idiot casuals.. Please do this again!! <333

Games like BMXXX and The Guy Game are so pathetic.. Get a girlfriend or at the very least, google "porn". Wasting $50 on a sex themed video game is sinful..
