I feel exactly the same way as you do about "TS2" and "TS3", David- I played "TS2" to death, but I didn't even finish "Future Perfect". It just... wasn't fun. Your tips and ideas are spot-on, especially regarding multiplayer. Bravo. Personally, I don't care about re-releases and upgrading previous games to HD. What I do care about is getting to play the mode in which the worse you're doing, the smaller you become (and playing it as a cop whose wardrobe is stuck in the 1970s). |

The Top 7… Epic dance battles |
|
|
|
"Stubbs" wins in my book. "Space Channel 5" is an awesome game, but getting modern indie rock bands to cover '50s classics was a brilliant move. It's a shame the songs aren't otherwise used in the game, but the soundtrack is great, and the dance battle using it is almost as good. I love the moves, I love how Stubbs enters and leaves the dance floor, and I love what a random occurrence the sequence is within the game. |

Limbo: The saddest video ever made |
|
|
|
This isn't the saddest video ever made- the saddest thing about it is that all you guys did was take the stupidest, most easily-avoidable deaths. I mean, there isn't a person alive who would see that tire rolling toward them in the game and decide to simply stop and look at it. There is so much sorrow in "Limbo"- leading other children to their deaths, ripping apart the spider, the ever-increasing sense of loneliness, and (obviously) the ending- and instead, you just made a five-minute video of setting off traps and then intentionally not getting away from them. Oh, and you set it to incredibly cheesy music. Great job, GR. |

Very surprised at this one- I didn't even spot it until Sunday afternoon, and I definitely want to see more of it now. The small-scale teleporting is an interesting mechanic, and as the writer stated, I want to find out what the additional powers are. Still, even though the demo was short, it showed a lot of promise, and it's a game I'll look for in the coming months. |

Which console will win 2011? |
|
|

"You may think that Portal 2 and Crysis 2 look good on your HDTV, and that’s awesome. But for the price of that costly television, you could’ve invested your cash towards a decent gaming rig that can run circles around your “next-generation” console." That's the dumbest thing I've read in a long time. I am in no way making a "PC vs. Console" argument, because it's stupid- most PC players hate consoles, most console players hate PCs, and the experiences aren't really comparable. But I WILL say that the above excerpt is ridiculous. Yeah, I COULD have invested that cash in a decent gaming rig, but then I wouldn't have anything good on which to watch TV or films, play same-room co-op games, or, really, having any experience whatsoever in my living room that supports more than one person. Not to mention the fact that it's pretty dumb to compare a high-end TV and console set-up to a "decent" PC gaming rig. |

My god, a "Johnny Whatever" reference! When that game was first announced (keep in mind, this was 2005, and it was supposed to also be on the PS2), it looked so ridiculously cool. I mean, hell, the trailer had the White Stripes! I was really excited about that one for... a few minutes, at least. |

PASS. 1) I don't want to be subjected to a sponsor's message before seeing/reading a simple top 7. 2) I don't want to sit through an eight-minute video when reading the article doesn't take that long. 3) Whichever of you did the first voiceover (and the VO for the other odd entries on the list) is so awful at it that it made me want to skip the rest of the video. You may or may not be a great writer, but you are definitely not a great speaker. 4) The reason I started reading GamesRadar in the first place was because you had interesting lists and features; you barely do those anymore, so why mess with the single-best aspect of your site? |

GamesRadar's E3 2010 awards |

I know I've said this about a million times in a million different places, but... Kasson Crooker is my favorite musician ever. That is not an exaggeration. His pre-Freezepop band (Splashdown) completely changed my life. He's also an incredibly kind person who I've been fortunate enough to meet and correspond with many times over the years. Kasson Crooker is as close as I have to a hero, and that's not a "Guitar Hero" pun. I think what a lot of people don't realize is that Kasson won a Game Developers Choice Award for the first "Guitar Hero" game and is the very first name you see in the credits for "Rock Band 2". He's been instrumental (again, no pun intended) to Harmonix's past games, and if THIS is what he is working on right now, I have absolutely no doubt that it will be an excellent game. I don't think I'm getting a Kinect, but if I do, "Dance Central" will definitely be my first purchase. Plus, despite having followed the man for over a decade, I had never once seen Kasson do anything close to dance (unless he was behind a keytar while playing in Freezepop). So that was quite a treat. |

YES! "ROADKILL"! My god, I loved "RoadKill" so much. The "GTA" series, like many twentysomething males who hate RPGs, is my favorite game series ever, and "RoadKill" is like a cheap "GTA" that doesn't let you out of the car. It was an amazing ripoff- if I recall correctly, they even used the same text font- but you better believe I 100%ed it just as I'd 100%ed "Vice City" the year before. |

Awful Box Art: Street Fighter series |

1) Who gives a damn who comments first? So many other web sites just delete comments that have no content, so why doesn't GR? 2) I love the box art for the new game. I'm never going to play it, because I'm not a fighter guy, but the cover for "SF IV' conveys a great sense of speed and strength, and the swirl effect is just plain cool. |

The 10 most pointless videogame subtitles ever |
|
|
|
I agree completely about "Guitar Hero III". Just a ridiculous subtitle- not just does it not expand on the main title, but it's a flat-out lie. I might as well just make a game called "Kicking222: The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Play in Your Entire Life". Even though they don't count as subtitles, since there's no colon before them, I'd like to nominate any EA Sports game for the Wii titled "[Sport] 09 All-Play". First, does that mean that in the other versions of the game, they restrict who is allowed to play? Is a 360 copy of "Madden" only accessible for teenagers, or women, or dog owners? Second, as the game is on the Wii, isn't it kind of a given that the game is for everyone? It'd make more sense to title a Wii game "[Title]: Hardcore", since nobody expects any Wii title to be for adults in the first place. |

It's a shame "Heavy Rain" will only be on PS3- I was a huge "Indigo Prophecy" fan. The endings were terrible, but the first 90% of the game was brilliant. I'm in no way an "adventure gamer", but that one was wonderful. |

Everything must GO! |

My resolution is to get my Super Nintendo back from my ex-girlfriend. We dated for five years, I had every intention of marrying her, I was going to move down from my state to hers, I supported her when she went through bouts of depression and dropped out of college (despite being a genius who got into Ivy League schools), she was the love of my life... and she essentially dumped me for a divorcee ten years older than her who lived (at the time) on a houseboat and works with her at a coffee shop. She clearly went insane, yet for some reason, I'm still in love with her, and I probably always will be. I'm not even remotely close to being "over" her, but if I can't get her back, the least I can do is recover my SNES- "Super Metroid", "NBA Jam Tournament Edition", "Tecmo Super Bowl", "Super Mario World" and all. As far as what I'd like if I were to win some swag... the Hillary-Clinton-enjoying-Starbucks statue from "GTA IV" is definitely at the top of the list. That's just flat-out hilarious. After that would be the (possibly non-functional, almost certainly non-good) VG Pocket, and then "South Park" season 11. |
