You would think that the original Diner Dash on DS, particularly after playing newer ones on PC, would feel old. But, to be honest, playing it on a new medium in a completely different way gives it a new lease of life. In fact, I think it works even better on the DS, despite the smaller screen. It's much easier to manage with the stylus and just feels more natural somehow."

"For the uninitiated, Diner Dash was originally a PC game release in the early 2000's. Remember that time? People were into Napster; oh the world was so naïve. Ahem, sorry this old man does tend to ramble on a bit.
Anywhoozers, Diner Dash followed the story of Flo, an office worker who was just gosh darn tired of working on spreadsheets and TPS reports that she quit. While wandering the streets, deciding what to do next, Flo stumbles upon a diner for sale. [Warning: spoiler alert. Just kidding] A light bulb flashes in her head and she decides to buy the diner, and become her own boss! OK, this is where you guys step in."
From Gamertell:
"For those who might not yet quite enough gaming garb, now you can get T-shirts featuring Diner Dash's main character, Flo.
PlayFirst, owners of the Diner Dash franchise, have opened Flo's Closet where anyone can purchase online six Flo-themed shirts priced US$14.99 to $19.99. The shirts include a large art image on the front featuring a slogan and a smaller slogan hidden elsewhere on the shirt."
The editors at 2020 Gamer decided to make a list and tally up the cost of their gaming habits and ask the tough question, "Was it worth it?"
2008 was okay...

I'm more interested in Street Fighter 4, BioShock 2 and Bionic Commando. Also don't foget that Burnout Paradise Ultimate came out for the PC. That is a good one.
These are the people who also made System Shock 1 and 2.
Make games with a unique and involving atmosphere is something these guys do and do well.
So unless they try stepping outside of what they do well, Bioshock 2 will be good as well.
They even had a knack for saving the Sonic series. Remember..

Bioware = excellent developers. I just hope they keep up the trend they have going for quality stuff.
Metal Gear Solid 4 basically sealed 2008 as being worth it, everything else was gravy.
DLC for starters and lack of PSN integration.I would have bought the packs by now but Konami fouled it up.
