Sir Unimaginative

It's worth a shot.

Ey, Kris? When was the last time you saw anything worthy of being called 'art' go out of its way to not step on anyone's toes?

The only thing I have to say is 'FUCK you, Ubisoft'.

No, I'm serious. The last thing this industry needs - not just right now but ever - is self-censorship. If it gives in to all of this PC 'can't be violent or provocative or anything' thinking and does it to itself, we as a community lose, and the potential of video games becoming formally recognised as an art form is more or less permanently curtailed.

I think this week may be conclusive evidence that this poll needs a 'None of the Above' option.

@29: For me the kicker was "Switchblade! I choose you!"

@43: The clearly superior OS, but Vista doesn't really help with that.

The amazing thing for me is that the DS Lite sold more units than all the other consoles -combined-.

And DS + PSP (We could add in the Micro, GBA and Phat but pour a water bottle into your nearest Pacific and see how much it rises) are well over 2:1 against the consoles.

I wonder if this is representative of a new view toward gaming, or just indicative of unreasonable console pricing.

What's more interesting is that most of the text (except for the advisor - and that IS Will Wright, AFAICT) is in English.

Then again, if you've played SimCity 3000 (the clear source of this game) more than a few times in the past eight years you'll probably have no problem figuring things out in any case.

Still. EA. Seriously. Bring this home. We might grudgingly respect you again.
