Certainly a Wii game that would benefit from DLC. I hate the idea that people have when DLC = unfinished game.

There's no Adobe Flash on the iTouch or iPad for one very simple reason - if people could watch free television shows on Hulu or something of that sort, then why would they buy them off the Apple Store? It's smart business really, more than anything else.. and the whole "buy a real computer" arguement doesn't really work when tablets are created for situations where you don't want or need a laptop or desktop.

On one hand I don't really have a problem with it.

On the other hand - even a lot of the people making valid reason for nudity in video games are making points that point to the idea that guys like nudity and therefore it should be in video games. I mean yeah, people get naked in real life.. but there are very few games that have a reason for nudity. An ass or a boob in the shower, yeah that's fine - if you think there's a reason to show that I guess. Sex scenes? Lots of games have those, but they are usually limited.. that's a good thing really.

Games are a social thing, and frankly if one thinks that its edgy by throwing in a bunch of nudity and sex - I don't feel comfortable playing it around other people... same thing happens when I watch a television show that uses oversexualization.. it's just flat out embaressing. Nudity in games isn't an issue that should be focused on really. Play devil's advocate all you want but there's not a lot of room for it.

I really wish that I had a photographic memory, I know a few people who do and I just think it'd be so damn useful.

Mega Man 8 wasn't all that impressive to begin with - graphics wise, and going back to the basics has only helped the Mega Man series so I don't really see the problem that anyone could have. It's just one of those series of games that will work best the way that it started.

Nintedo doesn't seem to want to do DLC - but in a world where it existed.. naw, I really don't think I'd be interested in Zelda DLC. All Zelda games are self-contained stories with a definitive ending, there really isn't much of a threat other than the main villian.. and the games aren't really built to support it.

I try not to follow games that I am interested in too much because.. well quite frankly I get a big too pumped up and regardless of money issues, I will purchase them on release day. However I picked up a few bits of Red Dead Redemption here and there while surfing the net and I have to say that I want it extremly bad - but I promised myself I would only pick up the new UFC game this month.

I'm biting my lip, hoping I can rent it sometime.

I.. don't reall care when people do this because frankly, all the years that I have been playing online shooters.. I've developed strategies to stop or get rid of these people. A camper has to be one of the most paranoid gamers and if you can mess with their heads a bit, it's good to go.

I've seen it - it's not much in terms of information really, just getting me excited for a new Call Of Duty. The general consensus from news that came before is that this is going to be a game based in Vietnam or the broader Cold War.

Pretty kickass if that is so.

All of this talk about Nintedo is misleading and frankly - just flat out wrong.

I mean yeah - it's nice to think that hey, they've been doing this for a long time and they have a lot of mascot characters out there. Frankly, that doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Nothing is ever the 'best' just because it has been around for a long time.. Nintendo built a powerhouse and it's going to take major inepitude for them to mess that up.

All this talk about the Wii and its motion controls - seriously people? The Wii has been out how many years? And even with the additions made to the Wiimote there is still a lack of true 1-to-1 control. Pushing it as a Nintendo exclusive thing is a moot point anyways, now that Sony and Microsoft are trying their hand in motion control, with a bigger resource base and the benfit of newer technology to do it with.

My vote has to go with Microsoft - who despite coming into the console game late, have done an amazing job at securing the games that people want to see on their console, creating an amazing online community (that while at times, filled with douchebags) is more functional than any other... and the list could go on and on with things that are just my opinion (functioanlity, controller, etc.)

But frankly, I believe that nostalgia and the ready availibity of backlog Nintedo titles has swayed most people into choosing their side when it comes to what console is best today.

Also, I'm tired of hearing that the possibilies with the Wii are endless. The console has shown time and time again that they are very much so in the form of endless.

For some reason I had one of the Soldier Of Fortune games in my head because I remember train levels, and starting out in an alley - but I don't really think that the stealth bit fits in there. I'm entirely stumped.

If this hasn't fallen to the wayside I'd be totally for it - just picked it up the other day and I am reliving some amazing memories.

I don't really count the AVGN as a game reviewer - he's more of an entertainment piece than anything else, because no one is actually all that interested in buying the stuff that he's reviewing.

I prefer the reviews at 1UP.com - the video reviews that is, because it's just two people sitting down face to face and talking about the game. What they liked about it, what they didn't like - and usually they are humble enough to say "this wasn't my thing, but hey.." in cases where its deserved. I hate the notion or idea of letter/number/any kind of grades at all and this avoids that.

I hate the fact that a game can be rated low just because it's too much like its prequel or something along those lines - the Dynasty Warriors series has been getting marks down due to that for years, but the fact of the matter is, I or someone else may not have played the previous games.. and would find it just as refreshing and new as the version that came before it... hell even better with all the polish on it.

I think it's clear that graphics don't make the game - especially when some of the games that we as a gamers in general remember as classics either have s***ty, subpar or no graphics at all.

Well regardless of whether or not you or I feel the need to own an iPad, there are actually people out there who could use or want a tablet PC styled machine instead of a laptop or a desktop computer - and at the moment the iPad does everything that a tablet has done in the past and more. That's kind of the point of the article.

It's not like the iPad is anything all that new and exciting when you really look at it. Sure, it has its uses for a certain section of people but its real power lies in the Apple marketing and branding machine that has been roaring through for the past decade or so. Of course it was going to be successful - the damn thing was a status symbol the moment that it was announced and people are certainly going to buy the thing who could've been better off with a competitor's less expensive product or just by simply going with the iTouch.

Frankly - they've worked themeselves down into a "smaller is better" rutt and now started to work their way back up again. People are hooking onto this strategy, but it'll probably just keep going on and on and on.
