I think this highlights a problem. Without a foozle, those fights are optional and meaningless. The weapons were not the reason you beat the game-you beat it because that bastard Sephiroth killed Aeris. Negotiating a peace treaty between faceless armies is not going to drive the same response...

I don't even think movies portray sex for its own sake realistically. Most depictions are, well pointless. It's not like a JRPG will have a serious sidequest about the main hero's inability to get it up with his wife, and you have to seek counseling. There will never be bad backs, or actually...

I'm not sure how you can claim it to be dead, there are: Nintendo Power Official XBOX magazine Official PS magazine Game Informer Game Pro Edge Magazine Retrogamer Play magazine (I think) and probably more than that. If you mean they are no longer preeminent, that's one thing, but...

Because developers can't make money off of 5 buck games. And that means the market gets flooded with old stuff, or crap. The only reason you could get it for that cheap was because in the far past, people paid full price for it at retail. You are like a person who shops at the goodwill. Your...

I've never seen a case where retailers going out of business increases product availability. You know why you ***** at gamestop? Because they can pull that crap because all the other game chains have gone out of business. With digital distribution, there is no competition. It's not like I...

Problem was that most tabletops weren't roleplaying games at all, but more focused around mechanics. If you open a pen and paper rpg manual, most of it will be things like encounter tables, experience tables, charts of armor, weapons, creature data, etc. Videogames did that far better, so...

I dislike digital distribution. I want the physical copies of the game so I can play it on the actual system it was designed to. I like being able to go into a game store and buy a game, and look at games. For consoles, digital distribution is a stupid idea, because consoles become obsolete...

What's ironic is that your experience in world of warcraft let you meet your current girlfriend, but your experience in everquest was a factor in your previous divorce. You can create connections, but you can also lose them due to the nature of the MMO itself. There's always the double-sided...

Nitpicking here if anyone hasn't; the playstation 3 isn't the most expensive system in gaming history, that honor I believe goes to the 3do multiplayer, which released at an astonishing $799.99 usa retail.

I liked the original spyro as well. I wouldn't rank it as high on my own top ten list, but it was a relaxing game to unwind with, back in the days when you could have quality 3-d platformers that weren't total shovelware. Have you ever played any of the sly cooper games for ps2? If you liked...

To xtreme's comment: It depends. Even among graphic adventures there are a lot of differences. Syberia, Time Hollow, and Hotel Dusk are different games in style and mechanics, and you really can't just limit it to "the plot is nice and the writing is good." The mechanics, length, and gameplay...

Time Hollow for the DS is an odd little game. It's a Konami developed point and click adventure focusing on a boy named Ethan Kairos, who for his 17th birthday gets possession of a mysterious pen that has the ability to draw holes in time. He can then reach back into the past and alter it, but...

It would make a lot of sense, actually. I'd buy it.

The second character is actually pretty useless, because they don't level with you. That means you have to level up every additional character you want to bring with you if you want to play them. And there are a LOT of second character choices. Problem with this game also is that there's zero...
