y0 cheapy- congrats to you and your wife, I'm sure you'll be fluent in the old Nihongo in no time. I recommend: the Imperial Palace (the east garden's free and open to the public.) The SONY showroom in Yurakucho/ Downtown Tokyo- check out the QUALIA product line, take in some Blu-Ray- oh...

I think everyone means it "looks" damned uncomfortable to use, in addition to being an eyesore. A gyroscope can be used as a measure of gravitational equilibrium. Like Kirby's Tilt n tumble or Warioware twisted! carts have gyroscopic sensors in them, I think. Measures pitch n yaw.

good point, I do hate keeping a ready supply of AA's around, especially with thieving roomies. And even with an internal rechargeable you're stuck with a dock, which is tough to design around 4 controllers. Ah well, I prefer batteries to cords that morons trip over and break, thus needing...

Hasn't E3 always been that way? Next year I'll email this guy and ask for his pass...

Yes, this is the real problem, and the solution would be simply to unite as gamers and boycott the 360 until MS realizes that we, the gamers, "aren't gonna take it." The chances of this happening are about two to the power of 27198 to one against. Then again, I'm getting all worked up and the...

Sorry to do this by digits, but that post was LONG. I'll keep mine as brief as I can. (1) To quote the Honorable Richard Posner, US Court of Appeals 7th Circuit: "...maybe video games are different. They are, after all, interactive. But this point is superficial, in fact erroneous. All...

Word! Power Stone and Monkey Ball weren't really launch titles per se, but early enough. I completely agree tho, creative titles that don't always fit neatly in a genre are some of the finest. Mr. Mosquito was a good attempt at something new, but games like Katamari just nail it. I even got...

Well said. Cheers

Duly noted, but if I wanted to buy/build a computer for gaming and multitasking I would. All you say about software and computing is clear as an azure sky of deepest Summer. But that's not what I'm talking about. Yes, a compy is a medium for transmitting thought to millions, and just as a D&D...

So, wait- If someone says the universal raise in prices stinks they should wait and see the games? I'm not picking sides yet either, but price point seems like it will be a bigger factor this generation. Where a PS2 (post shortage) was what, 299 at launch- and an xbox, what, 250? Now we're...

I enjoyed the E3 report cheapy, and look foward to the best in show... (spore, perhaps?) I particularly liked the segment on Target and WalMart shares- but let's face it, the Gaming Industry is locked in a Hollywood Mogul phase. Creativity and innovation mean nothing next to the dollar. But...
