Alright, chums, I'm back, let's do this.

I don't have a problem with people making AO games or buying AO games as long as they are of the proper age. However, I fully respect the right of the major retailers to not stock the games. Best Buy, Target, and the like don't carry NC-17 movies (do they?), so it makes sense that they won't carry AO games. There's plenty of opportunities for small, specialty retailers to carry the games.

As for Nintendo and Sony refusing to license the games, it's their decision. They're not entering this decision lightly; with all the hype this game is getting, licensing this game is like money in the bank. But if they want to keep their platform at a certain level, that's their decision.

And folks, please please PLEASE don't call this 'banning' the game or 'censorship'. The government is not involved here and no one's going to jail. These are decisions by private corporations; no one is being forced to do not carry Manhunt 2.

I think the core problem is that video games are still fighting for acceptance as an art form. Games like this won't be acceptable until after that happens, not before. Games like this--unfortunately--will do more to hurt games' acceptance than help it.

Entered!

It's been pointed out that this is an April issue. But given how ONM explicitly said their exclusive is not an April Fools joke, there's a good chance this could be it... or not... gah, stop toying with my emotions, NiGHTS!

Mac v. PC FTW!

KIRBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, heck yes. My study break just got so much better.

I didn't even get past the video. With the iPhone, you turn it on its side and the video rotates. With the WM, you tap the screen. Huge difference between buttons and motion; just look at the Wii!

Allow me to paraphrase a Took:

"It comes in blue? I'm getting one!"
