There simply weren't that many good Japanese titles, this year
Especially on home consoles. Demons' Souls, Resi 5... I'm going blank.

But c'mon, Final Fantasy XIII for Most Anticipated, at least! View

Cheaters are annoying. View

Nobody's claiming the movie is about death due to videogames.

It's just a movie being made about a popular art couple who, as the article says, became increasingly paranoid and killed themselves. But of interest is that Theresa Duncan is an early figure in girl-gaming. Which is neat. View

Well, it seems most of the problems noted (works poorly in artificial light, unresponsive to gestures, the magic card always having to face the camera) would be as annoying to kids as much as adults.

I think my younger cousins might still like it to mess around with, though I doubt it'd last very long. View

Too bad. This doesn't seem as impressive to me as the Milo game is promised to be.

Then again, the Milo game could be a disappointment, too. View

Good choice
Cool kid. Sounds good in the English language trailer, too. View

But when you're young you think being with an older person is awesome. It's only when you get older and look at younger kids that you realise how creepy it is. So while a 13-year-old might be impressionable and be a willing participant, it's up to the adult to be a freaking adult and not take advantage.

What the heck did he talk to her about, anyways? Her homework? How her teachers are sooooo annoying? Jonas Brothers? Anyone who thinks that his motives were driven by anything other than pure perversion should realise that you can't fall in love with a freakin' 13-year-old. You can't even hold a 10-minute conversation with a 13-year-old. View

Yes it would be seen differently, mainly because in a sexual relationship, men are seen as the aggressors, the "impalers". That's just how it is: there's a feeling that girls are victimised, while boys play an active role (with older women, I mean. With older men they're victims, again).

Most dudes' response to a scandal with female teacher/male student is "gee where were teachers like that when I was a kid".

But it doesn't match reality, of course: it doesn't matter what sex the kid is; the adult is taking advantage of them, either way. View

And, being a European review, it is only in the PS3 category :s

Sorry, 360 owners. Guess you're not missing out on much, though. View

I wouldn't have thought that 20 million users used VidZone, nor would I think that 7 users is the entire iceberg, so quoting figures at those extreme ends will get you nowhere.

Anyway, it was enough of an issue to make the VidZone guys respond, so take that as you will. View

I guess it's possible that a younger version of herself could show up in Peacewalker, seeing as Big Boss rescues her. View

"Penny Arcade among others have remarked that there’s only two ways that game’s ending; The boy dies or the baby Gryphon thing dies."

I'm I the only one who's considering the possibility that the baby eagle soon grows too big to handle and you eventually have to kill it when it tries to eat you?

That would be the ultimate tearjerker. View

Colours more muted, lighter skinned kid, more feathers, and a cloudier sky. They added some foreboding cliffs to the horizon, also. View

I'm a PS3 owner and I can admit Milo looks way beyond EyePet.

I mean, the voice interaction alone is amazing.

Milo's not something that couldn't eventually end up on PS3, of course, but I'm happy to say that it has trumped EyePet for now.

And to be honest, that furball always creeped me out. View

Milo's (to quote Pinocchio) a real boy!

As a PS3 owner (have to say that as a disclaimer), I was amazed by the interaction. When she said "you're in front of thousands of people" and he replies "thousands of people?" I wondered if the interaction could really be that deep, but if it is, that is amazing.

And this is Lionhead we're talking about! View

The idea that the name "Solid" is poking fun at Square is particularly amusing. :) View
220 days 13 hours ago
According to the article, the "Solid" name holds 3 meanings:

1. Solid Snake
2. Three-dimensional game
3. A joke at Square (now Square Enix)

Could be a load of silliness, though. View

Totally amazed by the footage shown. Milo looked like (to quote Pinocchio) a real boy.

I wondered how deep and broad a game like this could be, but then I remembered this is the Fable guy we're talking about, and this could be a very rich game.

Makes me want a 360, for sure. That and the announced Raiden game. View

Don't shoot the messenger!

The article in Pediatrics is called Dying to Play Videogames.

The article recommends safety warnings to make parents cautious about videogame use after a disaster.

Blaming the generators directly is the same fallback as blaming the knife after a gaming-related stabbing. Yes, we all know that it was the generator use that caused the CO poisoning, but if you read carefully, the point is that the generator use mainly stemmed from gaming, which is a different cause to what was originally thought (lighting, air conditioning, refrigeration).

To disregard that because you want to claim sensationalism is silly. If the main cause of generator use was refrigerators, and a headline read "Refrigerator use linked with CO poisoning following Hurricane Ike", would you really have batted in eyelid? View
