Hey, a nunchuck!

This, combined with the announciation of ps3 games with "party" in the title, makes me afraid of entering any gaming forums because of the sh¤tstorm that this has undoubltedly stirred up....

There was an old PC game called Gender Wars, it was some kind of post appocalyptic men vs women version of syndicate if I remember correctly..

The problem here is that people asume that all depictions of homosexuality are sexual in nature, this is simply not the case. The mother in the article clearly has no problem with the depiction of heterosexual marriage, presumably because it doesn't contain a sexual component. In this case, as long as the same sex marriage contains no sexual component, there should be no difference between the depiction of same sex marriage and oposite sex marriage. I can understand not wanting children to ask questions about sex but the way the mother describes it but she would have to answer the same basic questions about heterosexual marriage i.e "why do men and women marry", "where do babies come from" etc. Being against homosexuality personally, while intolerant, is quite alright as long as one accepts that the rest of the world doesn't agree.

The big difference between being "allowed" to be openly gay and being "protected" from what one considers an abomination or whatever christians are calling it these days is that the first is about a persons right to express who they are and the other is about not allowing other people to express who they are (i.e freedom vs opression)

This is probably a far bigger problem in america where opinions on homosexuality are rather conservative compared to europe and people are far less secularised.

Horrible hotel dusk? You mean there's more than one? because the one I played was brilliant!

I think the way to go is to emulate what a lot of music artists are doing these days. There's a swedish hip-hop group called looptroop who have stated publically that they don't care if people pirate their cds and what the do instead is to try and give something extra to the people who buy the cds. Every one of their later CD's have beautiful artwork in the sleeve togehter with stories about the songs and their conception for the real fans.

I think this could be the way to go, you either do the whole sigital distribution and charge a lower price or make sure the people who buy the game feel like you're giving them something extra. A perfect example is luminous ar 2, the people who preordered the game got a free soundtrack with the games beautiful tunes. This kind of thing could be done with all the games, soundtracks, a proper beefed out manual with artwork and stories...something like the "feelies" you got in old infocom games, I think that would work well.

For those of us who owned a commodore (Amiga 600 for me) back in the day this is actually a pretty big deal. We all knw the game was a total shameless ripoff of mario when we first palyed it but we loved it anyway. And for an Amiga gamer this is great news, I've been thinking that this should get a sequel for a few years now. I mean it's like a feminist mario, "why should the guys have all the goombastomping, we can do that too".

...Not to mention the fact that the intro screen was the first pixelated babe I ever saw.

usually Advance Wars DoR, it's easy enough to play for short bursts and I can usually get through a mission before my train ride's over.

lately I've also been trying to complete hotel dusk, started playing it when it first came out but got sidetracked. It's a perfect game to play on the go since it has a really calming vibe and takes your mind of things...the gaming equivalent to reading a good book on the train!

Soul bubbles is not gay because it isn't attracted to other soul bubbles.

Seriously though, how old are you? ten?

if you are smart enough to realise that calling something gay is offensive the you should hopefully be smart enough to find some other words.

I can give you a few: kiddy, prepubescent, immature, colourful, cute...any of those fit

on a note not related to this biggot: I love soul bubbles, it's one of those games that usually go under your radar but is still great.

I don't care if they're saying they wont make one, I want super smash bros.!!!!
