Via 4 Color Rebellion: http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=180021 Good to see this sucker down from its initial $35 price point.

I assume by "accessible" you mean "dual analog aiming like Halo et al", which is actually quantifiably LESS accessible. Aiming at stuff with an analog stick is a pain in the ass... you may be USED to it, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating for newbies / people who prefer mouse +...

I'll have to remember to stop enjoying their games so much then.

I'm still not convinced that highly detailed 3D games will work on a handheld screen. People are already complaining about eyestrain and motion sickness with Mario 64 on the DS, to say nothing of how much detail is wasted on a tiny display. Once people get over the amazing-ness of seeing...

Just curious, are old NES and SNES systems starting to go bad? If Nintendo isn't making any new ones, that means eventually the only way you'll be able to play NES games is via things like adapters (and of course re-releases). I'm thinking while there might not be much point in an N64 player...

Believe it or not, that might not happen with the next generation. If you look at the way many developers are choosing to spend their polygon and fill rate budget (the level of complexity you see in the characters and environments) in current PC games, we might still be stuck with the same size...

Reading the topic I thought this thread was going to be a request for cheap ass deals on black market babies. www.cheapasshumans.com ?

gift.

Bravo. So long as this is true, there is hope for the medium of games.

If North Korea is a bigger threat to us than Iraq was, why aren't we hearing about how much of a mad monstrous madman Kim Jong Il is? Bush made a lot of noise about Saddam, and this guy is much worse. Oddly, regimes that actually *can* kick our asses get much better treatment. To the rest of...

YES, BECAUSE KILLING BIN LADEN WILL END TERRORISM. FOREVER.

Need I point out that "bad ass Link" is still a four foot tall effeminate elf with silver tights and a pointy green hat? The only people who worry about a game looking "kiddie" are kids themselves, or insecure about their maturity. Adults just play fun games.

Scrubking: Take an existing design that is successful. Tetris Attack. Add more gameplay options - say, the ability to switch tiles vertically as well as horizontally. Add an extra piece to Chess, or an extra move to the rook's vocabulary. Add three extra weapons to Quake. Is the result a...

Scrubking, one thing you might be forgetting is that complexity also doesn't mean *depth*. You can have relatively few options in a game yet the combinations of those options, in different contexts, create a lot of possibilities even though there's not a lot of up-front complexity. Go is...

Wow, so I filed a complaint against the guy and reported that he was selling bootleg games, and then he gave me negative feedback, saying I "made assumptions"... in addition to an out-and-out lie that I didn't pay promptly (I paid within an hour of the auction end). What a fuckasstard. Does...

Yeah, I know better now. The only thing visible was his positive / neutral / negative ratio, which wasn't bad. Never again.
