holy shit dude. toast sounds like a hell of a lot of fun. course... i live in east oakland, so that might not go over to well. players getting "toasted" by the target is probably a game over.
First off, Vlad said some idiotic stuff in his little piece on Zelda. A brown palette does not make a game better or worse. What does make a game worse, as mentioned in the GameSpot review (which I hope all of you have actually read/watched), is having a next gen game with no voice acting and chip music. Having to scroll through text to read dialogue just sucks. Also, the sword slashing with the 'mote probably is tacked on, and probably feels that way. I'm a huge Zelda fan, and I have no doubt I'm going to love this game, but from the facts, it sure doesn't look perfect.
In the post, mention is made of modding being a "key selling point." Microsoft doesn't want you to buy the system, they are losing money on it. They want you to buy the games. I personally have not bought a game since I modded my x-box. Many GameStop buy-used-and-returns and rentals, but no buying.
