I don't know, the kid on the left is still playing gamecube. Sounds pretty addicted to me.

Raiders of the Lost Ark clearly.

The second one goes best with the music.

But what I want to know is what is that little bird floating above him in the stage select screen?

I love how the man accomplishes something and everyone has to take it away from him.

Why do you care what he does with his life?

If he's enjoying it that's all that matters.

So basically Kyle, you're proposing people who 18+ therefore old enough to vote should be concerned with politicians trying to make it so minors, or 17 and younger, can't buy GTA?

I don't see how it would concern anyone who would be voting.

Unless they thing 11 year olds should be able to play GTA?

I love how you make it sound like:
"Find a group of people of varying age, ethnic background, gender, and height." is some sort of trick in the advertising.

FYI Ross Miller, non-white people do play video games too.

At #43, Im surprised, an intelegent comment.

I don't get why people get so up in arms when something like this hits joystiq? Do you really need to defend it that badly, do you really think the white male is about to lose it's inherent power in America any time soon? Honestly.

I wish people could just take a second to step back and look at both sides of the argument before making "witty" comments about how BET is racist, or your dog is racist. FYI racism is the discrimination against a RACE, cats aren't a race and neither are robots.

Im not sure if you checked but next time your watching prime time television on fox/abc/nbc/etc. count the number of black people you see and count the number of white people. The reason having BET isnt racist is because every other channel is basically WET they just don't call it that.

Now as far as the game goes, I can't wait for it to come out. Fast paced, side scrolling, elemental beat-em ups sound like one of the most fun games I could think of.

But at the same time, look at the clip (with the sound off) and just think about it. Look at the other references people have posted about blackface and birth of a nation. Look at old loony toons cartoons where there were racist themes everwhere. I find it really hard that someone could not at least accept the possiblity that this clip could look racist. If so they are in my mind either 1. Ignorant or 2. not seeing it because they don't want to.

Look at the little white "heros" and tell me it doesnt look like they have a cross on their head? Is it? Probably not, it's a design to seperate the players and show which element you are, but we're talking about out of context here, we're talking about just that clip.

All in all I just feel all of humanity needs to have more of an open mind and better communication without resorting to name calling so fast as the first 10 posters in here did. Take a second to look at things from every point of view before you pass judgement.

I think there's another point you're missing. You're assuming that the Wii not taking a loss means they aren't confident in it. However, they threw the $250 number out a long time ago and people were quite pleased to see it so cheap unlike PS3. If people were really dissapointed and didnt think the Wii was worth $250 I have no doubt that Nintendo would have taken a loss in order to get people to try it.

If you offer me $5 for something at my yardsale Im not going to tell you "No no, I'll only take $3". They are a business after all.

Another shot for each system:

A plot Sony's surely devising
But on xbox you can play dead rising
kill zombies for fun
no need for a gun
the weapons are surely surprising!

Twilight Princess is comming this fall
and with Metroid we'll have a ball
Red Steel will be rad
much fun will be had
but I can't wait for Smash Bothers Brawl!

PS3 could be like gaming heaven
Unlike Wii if you're older than seven
Ken thinks they're the best
but no one will let rest
"RIDGE RACER!!1oneoneeleven"

PS3 is expensive and how!
The Wii looks to be a cash cow.
The xbox 360,
seems pretty nifty.
But I'll just stay addicted to WoW.
