# Top Spin 3 - $39.95 (Reg. $29.99)

Lol. So our dollar finally gets on par with the American one and it takes Sony literally MONTHS to lower their prices in Canada. The economy slumps, our dollar devalues and Sony's all over it within a few weeks. Nice.

Not to mention that we don't get PSN cards for another 8 months or so.

F**k you Sony. View

That's fair. There's no denying the game's repetitiveness and I'd love to see some more variety in the next one, but, like you, I loved the first game. It's one of the best new IPs in years imo. Can't wait for the sequel.

My main hope is that they squash any bugs before it gets released this time. Creed had a nasty habit of freezing up my PS3 when it first came out. View

Good to hear. I've never tried YDL, but if it has a decent package manager, I suppose anyone who knows anything about Linux should be able to use it just fine. View

Didn't this game get cancelled a long time ago? View

So the only difference is Netflix? That's not really surprising. We still don't have the PS3 video store either. Guess 34 million Canadians just aren't worth drafting up some legal papers for. View

I don't think there's anythig wrong with UE3. That's not even what they're trying to say with this article. What they're saying is that it's not right for every game ever. MK vs. DCU is a good example of a game that the people who designed UE3 just didn't have in mind. UE3 is great at what it does, but it's not the ultimate solution for all your game design needs. One would think Midway would have realized that. I only wonder how they managed to stay afloat all these years. Is the MK license really that valuable? View

Sucks to be Sony I guess, but truthfully, 18 and a half million dollars isn't exactly going to break the bank. This is SONY we're talking about here. View

My favorite ever was Quan Chi in MK4/Gold. He would rip your leg off and then beat you down with it. Classic.

Sub Zero's spine rip from the original two games was pretty killer too. View

Might be nice to have a spoiler warning or just take the spoiler out of the story description. Is it common knowledge how this game ends already? I sure didn't know until just now. View

Another one? Wow. It was more fun watching the comments back when there was an actual difference to be seen in these multi-plats. View

@Silogon: I bloody well hope GOW3 plays like it's brother and sister. They were, imo, the absolute best two games of the previous generation.

That's the major obstacle standing in GOW3's way. If it's too much like it's predecessors people will say it's just more of the same. If they change too much, people will complain that it strays too far from the old formula.

Personally I hope it's very similar to the original games with better graphics and a few minor additions here and there to keep things fresh. View

Looks smexy. I don't agree at all that Oblivion was a piece of s**t. It did absolutely pale in comparison to the awesomeness that was Morrowind, but that didn't make it a bad game. Morrowind was just *that* good that almost anything looks poor in comparison. View

Yes it does. ;) View

Oh boo-hoo. On average, less than 2 in 10 people who play a game on their PC actually paid for it. And people whine about online activation. Activision isn't taking anything away from you. They're simply taking one very non-intrusive step to try to prevent piracy. View

Lol@wall of text.

Once again Mahr, you're focusing on sh!tty DRM solutions from the past which I have no intention of arguing about. We all know DRM's had it's problems. That doesn't mean it can't work if done right. You can go on all day about root kits and such nonsense and you'll not hear any argument from me.

DRM needs to work and it can work without any of the probelms you listed off in those walls of text there. It's entirely possible for DRM to work much like the copy protection of old only on a new, non-physical medium.

Nobody seems interested in hearing the point I made several times already. It's much easier to just jump on the whole "DRM sucks because somebody in the interwebs said so" bandwagon. We'll see how much it sucks when PC gaming goes the way of the dodo. View

When did we start drawing a line between copy protection and DRM? Digital distribution is a medium like dvd and DRM is that medium's form of copy protection. Obviously there are some serious issues that need ironing out, but if we expect PC gaming to exist in any form beyond the next 5 years, DRM needs to find a way to work.

B!tching about it and doing immature sh!t like giving games crappy ratings on amazon.com isn't going to accomplish anything. Especially when the very same people who raised such a stink about DRM in the first place just turn around and pirate games with or without DRM anyway.

I'm not trying to say I'm all for installing root kits and screwing over paying customers and I'm sorry if anyone here has had a bad experience with DRM in the past, but the fact is it's here to stay and someday, hoepfully soon, someone is going to figure out a good way for it to work. Not unlike the copy protection we were all so used to back in the CD days. It's important that they make this work, though because disc based media is not here to stay and gamers, in general, are thieves. 2DBoy's little experiment proves it. View

Just because there hasn't been a good, working DRM solution yet doesn't mean the concept isn't solid. You guys just want an excuse to pirate the sh!t out of whatever you want without having to take the extra step of looking for a crack.

Boo hoo, go pirate some more games.

Edit: And who gives a f**k about PR. 2DBoy did the good thing here and released their game without DRM and what do they have to show for it? Insane piracy rates and lackluster sales.

You know who brought down the Spore rating on Amazon? Jerk-offs who wanted to pirate the game. Wonder how many of them rushed out and bought WOG. I'm guessing 2 out of 10. The rest just stole it. View

@mashedbuttons: I get that, but upon seeing numbers like this I can kind of understand why publishers want a working DRM system. Just because DRM doesn't tend to work very well doesn't necessarily mean that the whole concept of DRM is useless.

Here's a case where gamers get exactly what they want and they go and steal the game anyway. If that's the way it's going to be, we'll lose PC games entirely before long.

Given the choice between no games at all and games with strict DRM I'll take the games with DRM, thank you.

I think what this really proves is that people are jerks. I was lucky enough to not have to pay for WOG because we got a review copy, but I would have never dreamt of stealing the game, especially in light of the fact that they didn't include DRM. Looks like 8 out of 10 people disagree with that, though.

So screw 'em I say. If a great company like 2dboy is going to get run into the ground because of piracy then they should fight back with some bloody draconian DRM if that's what needs to be done. Obviously gamers haven't learned their lesson yet. View

I don't understand how this proves DRM is useless. If anything I think it makes a strong argument in favor of DRM. World of Goo shipped DRM free, remember? View
