I think there's a spot in the El Paso landfill beside some ET cartridges for this particular game.

No, step 3 is clearly PROFIT!

Bah! enough of this foolishness. There is no "right" console- each offers something similar, but different so just shut up and buy what suits your needs. I'm a gamer- that is, i play games. i don't really care about HD movies so the console for me (at this moment) is the 360 and to a lesser extent the wii.

this PR bullshit is just that- bullshit. none of these consoles are perfect: the 360 is reliable as a meth addict and really freakin' loud, the wii is underpowered and currently suffers a dearth of good games, the PS3 is in the same situation and has issues with price and HD support on older CRT HD-TVs, so the idea that one console can "win" is insane. just compare the list of features you need, price, performance etc and make the right choice for you.


THE POWER IS YOURS.

oh god i need a new computer. please give this to me and let me play command and conquer three....

Looks wicked sweet, but that felt backing looks like it would get crusty kinda fast. Maybe some leather or lacquered wood?

"Not a chance... they would have to charge you just to find the correct number in your address book!!!"

Or maybe not. Google has been buying up unused fiber-optic lines for years now, the so-called dark fiber that was installed in the 90s in excess of demand. All they would need to do is tack on some WiMax transmitters or the like and turn the thing into a country-wide hotspot. If the phone was voip, they could completely cut out the telcos. Nifty idea.

or maybe i pirate the shit out of software. $50 if they're lucky! SNAP!

Does anyone have any info about how CLEAN and/or EFFICIENT this conversion is? I mean, it's all well and good that only $50 in fuel was BOUGHT, but how much did it use? If this is only notable as a way to fight the oil cartel, it's not nearly as interesting as a technology that not only frees us from our dependance on oil, but actually does something beneficial for the world.

Just my two cents.

Oh god please give it to meeeeeeee!

I think you guys are missing the point of the article. I personally like to think of many of the best games as interactive stories or films. Like it or not, the graphical and interactive elements make up a big part of the immersion into the game.

To this extent, having to pause to read signposts, while seeming to be nit-picking provides an awkward disconnect forcing you out of the game world for a moment. This review was not to say "Zelda sucks because I have to stop to read signs" but that it is a symptom of Nintendo failing to move forward in certain aspects of game design. The colour pallate thing is perhaps a matter of subjective opinion, but then, so much of a game review is subjective.

Also, you need to take into account that this was not a full fledged review, just a preview and he stated that there was a lot to like about the game. I think it's actually nice to get some feedback about the system that isn't seen through the rose coloured glasses that most people use when talking about the Wii simply because it has an innovative control scheme. In short, the hostility towards this article is unfounded and unreasonable. If you like the system and the games, buy it, but don't flame others for having different tastes.
