I will be honest and say I never saw this, but apparently that is OK!

Now that it's on DVD though, I'll actually be renting this week.

I think Wing Commander looks decent. Certainly it's not on the level of the normal games in the series, but it kind of looks like one of those more open levels in Starfox 64. I'm giving it a shot, at least.

This is Persona 3 week as far as I'm concerned.

2pstart is almost cringe worthy. I don't know what you guys are looking at, but then again I usually don't like any webcomics.

The HD-DVD/Bluray one gets my vote. It's the first one I've laughed at for longer than I can remember.

Honestly, the WORST reasoning you could use for DLC and Live sucking is a freaking huge expansion that costs the same price on a PC. Do you want every expansion of that size for free? At least leech on to something that actually makes sense to bitch about.

"Introducing countless, gimmicky, non-sensical, irrelevant, shallow, tertiary characters.. instead of focusing on the primary protagonist, was the downfall of the Sonic series.

The same thing is happening with Metroid; its started with Echoes and will get worse from here on."

I hardly think that's a problem because Dark Samus was well utilized in Prime and MP2 was a well crafted game. Not only did Sonic get lots of pointless friends, but he was also introduced to shitty gameplay and horrible cameras. Playing as Big and Amy is far from the only thing that has hurt that series.

@chris - Do really think your comments about America that are incredibly shortsighted there are any less delusional? I know you're trying to make a point, but give me a break. Your music comment alone could be ripped apart by anyone that listens to anything just on the radio... not to mention any other scene that exists in the country.

"Because almost no one has heard of this movie, I don't think it will help or harm any future video game movies."

Yeah, I mean this is all it comes down to. There's a lot to be said about a marketing push. I mean, hell, considering this whole thing popped up on YouTube months ago I already thought it came and went lol.

I'm not sure what your point is here. Because America doesn't do the Tour de France, it's beyond our cultural capability to fully appreciate anything that includes a bicycle?

I question how you can sit here and compare the interest in traditional bicycle racing to BMX freestyle tricks (which, by the way, started up in the US, mimicking largely motocross figures... again, from the US) in a gym to begin with. The response to you didn't have to be creative because your implications are ridiculous.

I mean, is this really what you're trying to imply? So, if this commercial had instead featured the Harlem Globetrotters -- a distinctly US group in every sense -- could I fairly run around claiming people in Europe cannot understand the "real" meaning of the commercial?

As it stands, it barely shows off the product in question. I don't really, personally, think it's a bad commercial. But to claim that people in other parts of the world, where bicycling is also pretty goddamn common, will not fully appreciate this due to supposed "cultural" differences is just plain bizarre and egotistical.

There's been a group of people super excited about this game since it was announced. I am very happy it's being brought over here. I can only hope it will go after a cheaper price.
