Triptych

It's a superb idea. A demo with substance and meaning! Whether it persuades you to buy the larger game or convinces you it's not your cup of tea, it still did its job while pocketing some of the $5 cut in Capcom's pockets, right?

I ache for more classic courtroom battles--they just seem to have a better pace than the "group sessions" in Investigations--but I won't hesitate to pick this up.

Collector wants to collect.

Why would it be so dependent on feedback? Couldn't the people who made the game think, "Gee, when I try to get Maxwell to pick this up, he jumps off a cliff! Maybe we should address that..." There has to be another reason. Deadlines? Corporate pressure? Whatever, but trying to pass it off on the fans is kind of cheap.

That said, if they do deliver with the next game, all will be forgiven and then some.

I was pleasantly surprised with Peggle on the DS. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on PvZ, too.

George Lopez ruined "Low Rider" for me. : (

@Sonos: Out of curiosity, can you name a "hardcore blood and guts brawler" that has sold well and isn't "niche"? I can't think of any.

If one or both systems sold double or more first week over the Wii, then I might agree with you. As it stands now, all three first week numbers seem paltry--especially when you consider the newer version is riding off the fact that people know what they're getting into from the Wii title.

It's just starting, though, so you may still be right in the end.

I would let them make another Silent Hill in a heartbeat. And if not that, then let them make something else; just as long as they keep up the great plot and direction.
