"Nice, but how they managed to do some of these jumps and die to the explosions used to propel them is beyond me. "

On Chris Hoadley's  5 Fighting-Game Bosses Cheaper Than SF4's Seth

On Jeremy Signor's  Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker as Stealthy Model for Education Reform
" 

...and the dumbing down of US education continues.   Game Journalists really need to get this through their head:  There is a difference between games that are designed specifically with education in mind, and games that use education as a fancy back drop for their story.  A video *game* based on historic event's, mythology, and classic literature does not offer the same amount of education as the actual book, and video game designer’s definitely should not replace real life historians, scholars, and writers that spend years researching, studying or creating their respectable subject. 

Let's also remember games that are meant for entertainment are usually subjected to the creator's personal opinion, and not so much as proven facts.  I don't ever recall Kojima making a MG that was based on the atrocities that the Japanese government committed to the Koreans and Chinese during WW2 when the Emperor decided he wanted a bit of elbowroom….  Do you?"

On Robert M.F. Stoneback's  Help Protect Video Games as Free Speech
"I still don't understand how restricting minors from buying mature content is somehow a violation of the first amendment, and I have yet heard one convincing argument in support of the idea. 

In all honestly, I hope the Supreme Court does side with California.  The amount of children that have games like GoW3, CoDMW, etc, is astounding.

On Brett Bates'  Final Fantasy 13 Interview: Modern Warfare Influences, DLC Possibilities, and More
"n Good points..... definitely ones that I did not consider. Perhaps I was too quick with my comment and I should apologize for my lack of tact. However, I can't shake the feeling that Toriyama and Kitase are pulling on the success of the other two games to sell FF13. The likelihood that FF13 has any significant MW2 similarities are slim from what I've seen so far, and just because you make the fast paced doesn't mean it's like MW2. @Brett Yes, I've heard that before"
