I would solve it by recognizing that male characters are being oversexualized as well in the form of characters like GOW's Kratos, SC's Rock, Maximo in Ghosts and Goblins (he runs around in boxer shorts) as just a few examples. To paraphrase, I would solve this problem by paying attention. This of course means it won't be solved.
Shagnasty: No, you're dying for imperialism, and each day you do it we have less freedom to talk about it. Loose lips sink ships, or at least failed imperialist schemes. God knows we can't have that. We would have to start driving hybrid vehicles if we ran out of oil.
As stupid and pontless as Bishock's multiplayer is going to be.... My God does it look fun. Plasmid chaos ftw. I just hope it has LAN, I get so sick of online-restricted multiplayer. Wanna talk money sucking corporate suits? Exhibit A: Left 4 Dead 2 and it's 2p only lan.
An actual use for the motion controls? Maybe with all the goofy-ass puzzle solving and manipulation of tools inherent in the 'old school' horror genre, two of the most interesting (but almost totally broken) gaming ideas, that is, old-school horror and the Wii, could fit well together. I would really like to see the next Siren coming out on the Wii as well, with maybe a nmotion control based fighting system and sightjacking. Waggle-jacking?
Originial KH was better. Best Disney-related game of all time, i think. I was born in '90, so I was around for the old 2D classics (they forgot Talespin for the SNES) and I still agree with KH as #1.
The only music game I've played regularly is GH, and I play it because I like the bands they have on the games, so I don't really count in that category, but Adam and the Ants' song "Stand and Deliver" in Burnout Paradise made me a huge fan of the band, if that counts.
In other words, I don't qualify to answer this question, but wanna answer it anyway.
Monster Hunter. Just enough action to interest me, just enough MMO to keep me f*cking hooked. In my 15 years of video gaming, I have NEVER been hooked on a game, until MH in '04. When I was capable of 15 min solo Lao runs w/o bds or bda (anyone who knows what that means has probably been in the same situation I was) I figured it was time to stop. Plus, they never released another one on a Sony home console :-(
Every time a flame war goes on past 6 pages, God kills a kitten. And removes both of the discussed games from existence. I like these games too, so let's try to find another topic of discussion than InFAMOUS v Prototype, shall we? Anyone still looking to troll on THAT topic can do so to their heart's content at Gamefaqs.
Also, let's enact a citizen's ban on Howetzer for dragging it out this far.
Fanboy bullshit aside, I loved InFamous, and would buy Prototype in a second the new Red Faction didn't look so damn tasty. Maybe some other day, though. Great review, btw, except you should try InFamous on full-power evil before calling it "restrained".
