Well, crazy as it may be, there's no arguing that, for pure time sink type games, Pokemon is number one. Nothing else even comes close, to my mind (and I'd WAAAAY rather get deep into Pokemon than, say, World of Warcraft). A site that will make you see Pokemon as the deepest RPG ever made...

True, that: Lament of Innocence was a great game, I still have to go back and re-play it. Never played Curse, heard it was rubbish. I honestly loved the story in 'Lament', like how it explained why the Belmont clan has the power to slay Dracula (and only them). Most of the bosses were fun...

For my part, I don't want motion controls for simulation, at all! I want motion controls for immersion, not for replicating motions I can make on my own. There are people out there who do want to feel like they're swinging a sword, or shooting an arrow, or punching a guy in the face (boxer, I...

Couldn't agree more. I'm a huge fan of Metroid, but I haven't been able to bring myself to play the new one...and I own it. That first cut-scene and imagery (think: magically appearing suit - curse you, SSBB - and a perverted, lingering camera) turned me off of it, completely. Not to mention...

So...if I live in Canada, can I not join the club?! Boourns! Tried entering my postal code, and the site wouldn't accept it - looks like it's an American thing, I'm not sure how many Canadian politicians bash videogames, actually, I'd like to find out

I'm glad that this topic is being brought up - I've tried changing gender/race in these kinds of games before, but found that the representation was more than a little off. The 'coat of paint' that keeps being brought up is a valid point - choosing between characters while only changing skin...

It took me longer than expected to figure out number...3? The one with walls and running, not stopping. These stories were really clever, actually, well done

I don't want to give you a ton of backlash or anything, but, personally, I completely disagree with everything you just said! I find that trophies make me think too much about a game, to the point that I don't even want to play it anymore - over the past half a year or so, I've played my Wii...

It's an interesting topic, talking about casual gamers and where the industry is headed. Right now, I'm working too much to even have time to sit down and play a game, so I might as well be a casual gamer, too! It's sad, but true; my time is devoted to other, more important things, right now...

When I saw the preview for (what was it..Eclipse?) playing at Blockbuster one night, I very nearly threw up. Here I am, watching a girl so obsessed about her supernatural boyfriend, that she will willingly throw herself off of cliffs and drive into trees just for a chance to see him again...

How about, "Giant Waste of Time"? Just kidding. Some classification along those lines would stop me from getting into an 100-hour RPG, though. Why do some RPGs think that more time spent instantly equals better quality game? I hate seeing that on the box, (200+ hr epic RPG)

Great article, I enjoyed reading this piece. I can not STAND games reviewers who buy into hype, or, worse, ignore issues in a game with the hopes of consumers supporting their new favourite game. Greg Miller from IGN used to excite me with his positive reviews, but his bias towards any new...

Yay, Canada! Glad to see the home turf getting some respect, with more to come: United Front Games, makers of Modnation, are based out of Vancouver - they should be selling plenty of units with their game.

This made for an interesting read, but the article doesn't account for a lot of factors, like players who don't flock to "M" rated games. I'm all for feminism, but the ideology isn't without it's flaws. They could just as easily say that "the princess is in another castle" is just another...

I won't make any predictions on the state of the industry, but I can honestly say that I've spent more on videogames this year (or plan to) than any year previous. Nintendo is just as good as ever at sucking up all my hard-earned cash; I have Metroid: Other M on pre-order, I've bought Mario...
