Well, to look on the bright side, since the GC and Rev are supposedly so similar, maybe Exact's experience with the GC will help them do a better port to the Rev.

I watched The Culture Show and was surprised that anything videogame-related was included. From what they were saying, it seems that they were included for their popularity.

Whether or not I agree with their choices, it's at least good to see games getting featured in things like this.

I actually started gaming and smoking weed around the same point in my life, so both have been mutually inclusive. But we've had enough weed experiences.

How about an Exstacy one?

I remember taking pills (E's) and playing videogames quite a few times. I don't know why but I used to be able to play miles better. And it wasn't just my imagination, either.
Me and a friend used to compete on Diddy Kong Racing, and at this stage in our playing, he was setting some excellent times that I just couldn't beat. He went out one night and me and another friend took some E's and started playing. That night, I was smashing his time trial records left, right and centre. I don't know why but it just seemed so easy to play; same goes for Goldeneye.

So yeah, I play while high, although it's just weed and beer these days. No more hard drugs for me!

I don't think it's a case of buying sequels, it's more a case of quality. I don't see a reason to not buy a sequel if it's good.

Personally I'll buy anything as long as it appeals to me. A lot of the time part of the appeal is that it's offering something new, but more importantly something good.

What I'd prefer to happen with certain games is instead of publishers churning out sequels, they should just patch them. Sports games, racing games and FPS' are the likely candidates for this approach. Of course on the flip side, a game like Zelda doesn't seem suited to this approach.

"Best interactive videogame"? Since when were videogames NOT interactive?

PS. That trophy is as phallic as they come...

"To me, the right direction is interface and gameplay innovations. It will bring new players to the world of games, far more than incredible audio and visuals alone."

I'm guessing he's a fan of the Revolution, then. :]
