Not everybody enjoyed the motion controls for the first Zelda game on the Wii. Will Skyward Sword change your mind?

You just can't beat Nintendo when it comes to unique, fun ideas. Kirby's Epic Yarn looks varied and extremely fun.

What complications are going to arise from the release of Kinect (Project Natal)? Microsoft hasn't been very trustworthy with how their consoles manage power.

Why are Achievement points so compelling? Has Microsoft found the key to unlock fun, or is something sinister brewing?

In gaming knowing your roots is more than playing Mario or jumping up and down on a DDR machine, it is important to read the articles and read the thoughts of the people we follow in the industry.

"I didn't even think to mention that they have released two types of Classic controllers, yet it is only the third parties who have made any tangible uses from these controllers. Smash Bros. is the only game that I can think of that Nintendo developed that uses the Classic controller."

"I think most of the controls could be mapped to a standard controller. For example, using the bow and arrow; you can do that with a standard controller. I really don't need to use the motions for using the bow and arrow. I can easily press the Z target and press the A button.
I really think that games like Mario Galaxy and Zelda would be better without motion controls. I agree that games like Boom Blox and Wii Sports need motion controls are they are better because of them. Each of those games has their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to motion controls."

"@Kevin: I do agree with your point that the GamerScore is a meta-game. Many people are using the GamerScore as a way of comparing themselves to others. In my case, I really have no interest in besting the people at the top of the leaderboards. But, I do want to get a higher score than my friends.
Sometimes it doesn't even come down to the GamerScore, as a whole, it could be that some people just want to beat other gamers in just one game. This is why the Compare Games feature is so useful."

"@Andrew: I approach the achievement much like you. If it is something that doesn't seem interesting or within reach I usually won't do it. It has in some ways molded the way that I play games though. I am playing BF: BC2 right now. I love the multiplayer, so I will try to get the achievements there. Especially the Dentist achievement, which is just goofy. But, I probably would never have played through the single player if the game had the standard; beat the game on easy, normal, and hard. It has an achievement for every level, so I have been playing through it on easy just to unlock the achievements."

"I think if you are interested in the industry it is important to read. It really is amazing the empire that has been built from a web-comic about videogames."

"I think it is slightly childish, but I also think it is all in good fun. Just because these companies are multi-million dollar buisnesses doesn't mean they have to be buisness-like all the time. I also think a good amount of rivalry/competition between two good publishers will hopefully benefit the gamers. It doesn't hurt that DICE is giving us a free map pack, while IW is charging for theirs. Hopefully, this will make IW think carefully about their number 1 status. Although, I am sure Activision could give two-sh#ts about the whole thing."

"ave always wanted to see a game based on some crazy ancient European, Native American, Aztec, or etc. stories. I always thought [i]The Tain[/i] would make one of the most badass games ever, I mean come on, Chuchulainn goes into berserk mode and his entire body splits itself apart.
To Fitch's comment about people wanting to go elsewhere to get their fill of adventure, I don't think this is anything unique to English or any culture. I came to Japan because I found many things in Japanese culture interesting that we don't have in America. Japanese people follow the same path by going to America to see what they think they can't see at home. In reality, I think that people who live in one country long enough reach a point where they just want to get the fuck o"

How is this thing going to be stand alone on the retail disc? I haven't played Lost & the Damned yet, but I assume it takes place in Liberty City. Is Rockstar just going to rip out all of the missions from the original title? I don't g"
