I hope it's got WiFi - that would be the clincher. I know that Cingular will hate that, but WiFi access would be the killer app that would sell this phone like crazy.

If it allows me to avoid myspace even 50% of the time, it's worth $40. So far, I like it alot... kinda like iTunes for myspace.

The E3 Demo was amazing. This is the first game I've ever played where it truly felt "cinematic". It was like running through a movie-set. Amazing.

I wouldn't be too sure it won't run as fast. My guess is it will at least be equal, if not faster/better. Yes, the environment is not "native" but at least it's the original code that's running and not some ported bastardized version filled with kludges and compromised to get things working in some semblance of "acceptable".

In Banks' 2002 book "Complicity", the protagonist plays a game quite like Civ, and it was interesting how the game was tied-in to the story as metaphor. Good stuff.

You "sat down" with him for 25 seconds?

My bet is on either pricing (

Is the rumor true that they cut the "create a custom hero" feature from the game?

Didn't I hear on one of his podcasts that they were going to fix the slow-ass download speed in that big update? I tried to dl a demo twice now and it was going to be 30mins+ for a 400mb demo. Ya, that's shitty service.

Yay! Another WW2 Game!!!
