The critics have been raving about it, and judging with my hands-on time with it (actually, for quite a few hours for 3 days), it's shaping up to be a great upgrade. It's still Windows because of some of the hang-ups that still occur, so I can safely say that for a lot of the time, the Mac's stability is better. But since I have a Windows PC running XP exclusively for games, I think it's fair to say that it's finally time I made the jump. I mean, who knows, the stability would probably better since it's not a netbook (the machine I tested 7 on was a netbook, and it was still astonishingly faster than I expected) but a full fledged custom made tower.
Then again, before I was introduced to Mac OS X Tiger, I was following Vista closely. I mean, it looked like the be-all and end-all of Windows versions, but when it was released and I had to go through some installation hang-ups and incompatibilities, as well as UAC that had to take 10 minutes to fade the screen alone, it was clear that Vista wasn't doing it for me. True, you can blame the Pentium 4 rig, but it was already the minimum requirement, so it should at least run Vista without Aero... which it didn't.
Now that I have a decent Core 2 Duo rig, it could be a proponent to a more pleasurable upgrade experience. It may not be OS X, but I still want to ask the question: should I upgrade and jump into the Windows 7 bandwagon?

Even though I'm a bit of a huge Rock Band fan, I wasn't very happy when WB announced a Lego Rock Band game. Actually, it kinda made me feel all dead inside. Beatles: Rock Band was fine, but this? This was overdoing it.
And yet here I am looking at the setlist and amazed at (some of) the selections. And by that I mean Queen. Seriously. That's kinda awesome.
True, Harmonix is going to release a 10-pack for Rock Band 2, but I reallywant to play "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You". True, they're no Bohemian Rhapsody (which disappointingly isn't in the 10-pack either), but these songs are killer classics, no pun intended.
Then again, I'm kinda sick of that Boys Like Girls song "Thunder", "Suddenly I See" is a very puzzling selection, and the P!NK song, well, let's just say it's not up to par with my tastes. OK, I know, this is a decidedly kids-oriented game, thus the puzzling selections, but there are surprisingly a decent amount of songs that I see myself liking. Hell, "Just Dance" isn't going out of my head for a while, not after Elite Beat Agents.
In the end, I think I'm gonna buy the DS version, if only to experience the same gameplay of Unplugged on the PSP which they say is amazing.

I've just dusted off my DS and the first few games I got for it (first time in a long time, too) were Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. I intended to play the former at first, but when I tried the latter, I couldn't put it down.
Good writing, good gameplay and inventive mechanics make for a tight, solid RPG experience that, for the most part, improves a lot on Partners in Time, which I also loved. Before I spew out an entire review over here, I should stop right now.
Just know that if you own a DS, this Mario game is something you shouldn't dare miss. That's all I'm gonna say for now. Reminds me why I even love Nintendo in the first place.

Now that the PS3 is on its way back to reclaiming its throne in the console wars (or at least has a fighting chance), it may seem that Sony won't really have much of a sales issue this time around, right?
Wrong.
With the newly-announced UMD-less PSP Go around the corner, it may seem that Sony could have a winner in its hands since it's actually almost the same as the iPod touch: download distribution, music and video player, etc.. It could practically grant Sony a leg up the iPod touch since it already has much better games than that other system, so what's the cynicism for?
Price
For one thing, the price. $250 grants you an 8 GB iPod touch with change to spare, and for $40 dollars more you could get a 32GB model with beefed up specs, or even skip that and just get a full-fledged Blu-ray player that plays games. Oh wait, what other system does that but the PS3 Slim?Logically, the consumer would probably opt for the better value, which very much lies in the PS3 Slim. I mean, is the new form factor, the 16GB of storage and the downloadable distribution worth the price jack? For people to adopt the new Go, it should at least be $200 like the Wii or the 8GB iPod touch. It would grant Sony a much more competitive leg up against the latter.
Upgraders screwed
Another thing that makes the PSP Go a big fail is the fact that it doesn't offer a UMD conversion program. Why would Sony cater a new PSP model to existing owners when they can't even accommodate their needs? Will upgraders be forced to buy the same game they bought on UMD all over again? If they had the mind of a gnat, yes. Obviously, this will prompt an even higher increase in piracy for PSP games, but this time, existing PSP owners have a valid reason to do so: they already own the game!It strikes me as odd that Sony has technical and legal issues with their own proprietary standard. What gives? I mean, this feature shouldn't even be an issue! Huge blow for the PSP Go's marketability, Sony. Huge blow.
My free game!
GameSpot reports that "PSP Go Rewards" are not supported in the North American versions of the PSP Go. What are these "rewards"? Well, it's basically the pack-in game that comes with the system- only you're the one who chooses which to download. Europe, who usually gets screwed by Sony, may rejoice, but it doesn't have to mean that other regions should get screwed in their expense. Nintendo offers Nintendo Points with their DSi no matter where (even though if, yes, the offer is only available for a limited time), so why can't Sony offer an actual game? I mean, one of the selections includes Killzone!I was seriously considering a PSP Go, but now I have lost faith in it. Thanks for the effort of making a better PSP, Sony, but this isn't the way to go. I predict that this model of the PSP will actually lag in the sales charts and, like the PS3 Fat before it, make the company bleed. Sony is already getting some good games for the system, more than what I can say for the Nintendo DS nowadays (except Scribblenauts and Kingdom Hearts), but the thing that Sony needs is a compelling reason for people to consider a PSP Go. There will indeed be a market for it, but the general gaming populous will hiss at Sony's bad choices.

I'd be damned if I do.
Knowing a few Tim Schafer games, it's probably best if the game is experienced in a continuous manner so no, I don't think I'll be watching the new cinematic that just got posted up here in Gamespot. It'll ruin my enjoyment immensely.
Why am I asking this question? Well, I feel random, is all.
It's hard to resist a sneak peek, but a little perseverance goes a long way.

There's a lot to understand about the newest Harmonix game, The Beatles: Rock Band, but if you asked me, the average rating of 9 that it's getting is a bit high.
By far, it is probably the most passionately-made artist-centric rhythm game to date, but despite all the fervor and effort put into the dreamscapes, as well as the very good setlist, there's something that bugs me about the rather overly high ratings. It's not overrated by any means, but it's just over rated.
It doesn't have any export functionality, it has isolated DLC, there are only 40-some songs (although I know that Harmonix doesn't stuff the good stuff for the sake of putting good stuff unlike some other developer I know) and the price for the bundle is just sky-high. Granted, people can find ways to soften the blow of the game's 200 some dollars (especially since Rock Band 2 is a hundred dollars less), but for what they're demanding, I'd rather buy a PS3.
I know that Apple Corps is quite demanding, which is something they should really change. The Beatles may be legendary, but they're not God (not counting that John Lennon remark). Hell, it's a miracle that the game got made at all.
The worst part is:
I'll be suckered into buying this game anyway. Maybe even buy the DLC if I can't help it.
Label me a hypocrite but I'm getting the disc, damn it.
The fact that Harmonix finally made a simultaneous release with the Wii doesn't help matters either.

I just noticed that I have a lot to be excited about in September, not only because my birthday strikes on the first, but also because of a lot of major game releases. Yes, people, fall season is almost here... consider the summer drought over.
So I'm gonna make a little recap of the exciting properties overseeing release throughout the month (that I'm excited about), so it will definitely be a bit more Nintendo-oriented since I only own a Wii and a decent gaming PC.
The major releases I'm looking forward to are:
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
This Wii game has a particularly stylish traditional look that reminds you of other games like Viewtiful Joe and Odin Sphere, and that's because the game's developer is the same as that of the latter. VanillaWare looks like it's gonna do a really good job with this Wii-exclusive button-mashing title, and I'm gonna be first in line to get this.
Guitar Hero 5
Granted, I prefer Rock Band 2 tons more, but any numerical Guitar Hero release is most likely major. I'm not likely to go buy this in an instant 'cause I'm gonna wait till people say "It's compatible with Rock Band 2 Wii instruments". I know, I should've bought the GH ones since they're more durable and stuff (ironically, there were quite a lot of issues last year which led me to buy Rock Band 2 in the first place) but hey, it's been 2 incompatible GH games since then, and I demand that Activision give this one some Rock Band instrumental love since Rock Band 2 already supports every GH instrument compatible with the Wii. If that happens, I might buy it... the drop-in drop-out system is actually quite compelling for me... the setlist is kind of okay too.
The Beatles: Rock Band
Speaking of rhythm games, I'm surprised at myself for being excited for this Beatles game. I never grew up with their music, I've only heard snippets, but somehow I feel compelled to buy it. When news of this came out, I would coincidentally hear their music all over the place, and I would in turn develop a strong appreciation for them, which must be the reason why. For fans, the Beatles and all the unreleased exclusive content coming along with the game are enough to justify what seems to be a really steep price for the special edition. Of course, I'm shelling out for the disc only so I can save money. 1 set of instruments is enough.
Wet
While it's only overseeing release in the Xbox and the PS3, I have no doubt that it will eventually come out in the PC since this is Bethesda we're talking about. Gameplay and art direction both look insanely great, but I feel that waiting for the reviews of the console editions is a bit more of a rational thing to do for now. I still have doubt if Rubi can manage to hold a gamer's attention for more than 30 minutes because quite frankly one can have the tendency to get sick of automatic Matrix-esque slow-mo shootouts.
Need for Speed: Shift
After a few underwhelming additions, EA is putting its famous Need for Speed franchise into the pit for a bit of a tuning. The product of this tuning? This game. It looks so pretty, damn it! It's been so long since I've last played a serious racing game too. Judging from what I've seen, it's gonna be pretty cool.
Batman: Arkham Asylum (PC Edition)
The Dark Knight has never really found a serious video game to call home, but Arkham Asylum may be it. I've only heard tremendously good feedback for the game so far, so I can safely say that I'm excited for it as well.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
Loved the first one, second one looks awesome as hell, and... Stan Lee's in there. I didn't know why I said that. Anyway, while I'm not really much of a comic book fan (I have yet to read one. Ever.), I still love a lot of these characters, and believe me, there's quite a lot. I know it's just some beat-em-up but there's a lot of customization, a lot of RPG elements, and there will be quite possibly a pretty good story behind it. I mean, people are making a big deal about this "Civil War" thing. So yeah, a lot to expect, a lot to be excited about, and the best part is, you just know that they'll be able to deliver. Aah, if only it had a PC version.
Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
I love the Mario and Luigi RPG series, and it seems that it has yet to lose any of its charm. I don't think anything else new has been added though, but we may soon see when the game comes out. Come on, it's a full-fledged Mario RPG. Nothing will probably go wrong... except for the fact that maybe Bowser should've just eaten the whole Mushroom Kingdom in the first place instead of, you know, the same shtick he does over and over again. I mean, how do Mario, Luigi and Peach shrink anyway? Bowser's not that big (except for that last part).
Scribblenauts
When I first saw the God vs. the Kraken video on YouTube, I just said to myself, "I'm so gonna buy this," and for good reason: you put any noun you can think of in your head and it will possibly appear. Granted this is a rated E game so there's none of that stuff, but when you think about it, there's possibly nothing else like it. You're forced to use more creative ways to solve puzzles, and truly I like how they think.
PC versions of Red Faction: Guerilla and Resident Evil 5
I've put the two together for the reason that I don't know whether I'll buy them or not. I know for a fact that Red Faction does look like an awesome game, but I don't think it's compelling enough for me to buy yet. RE5 I might get when I actually get to finish RE4!
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
I am a fan of the KH series, I'm not ashamed to admit (but I'm not particularly a fanboy since I've become a bit lost on the lore), so I am very much looking forward to the DS installment of the franchise. While Chain of Memories on the original GBA was decent, this one doesn't look like it will feature that bullcrap card battle system (and thus, for me, will be very, very good). While the card battle system did offer a bit more strategy, I prefer the excessive real-time button mashing-ness of the series, it just feels "un-Kingdom Hearts" without it. I don't particularly care much about the story since it's become a tad convoluted for the sake of making more games for more money, but I don't know, it just looks too good to pass up. And hey, The World Ends With You was a perfectly awesome Square handheld RPG, so why not give it a chance?
Dead Space Extraction
I have yet to play some real Dead Space, but I've heard that it was an unexpectedly good time. Now that it's a name that's bankable, EA has gotten the same developing team to make a Wii-exclusive prequel. This would've sounded awesome if only they just let the player control the character! That's right, Extraction is apparently another on-rails shooter ala the Resident Evil Wii games. I'm not saying that on-rails on the Wii isn't fun-- far from that-- but it's getting a bit... tiresome, don't you think? I'd regret saying this but the graphics also make the atmosphere a bit less scary... but at least there's a flamethrower which is awesome! It's hard to say that I'm particularly optimistic about this title, but I'm giving it a chance and expecting it to offer at least a quarter of the greatness the full-fledged game was said to have. And come on, it has more strategy than HotD because of the dismemberment thing! Think about it!
I've saved the best for last, and that is...
Deca Sports 2
The holy grail of Wii sports games, Deca Sports is a franchise any gamer should ever miss... and yep, I'm saying it's underrated. Now that there's a sequel, I'm sure to join the frigging bandwagon 'cause it's so totally awesome!
NAH, just kidding. Just total BS, that game. If I wanted to play a compilation of sports games, I'd go back to Wii Sports Resort. It is fantastic (except for cycling, canooeing...)!- Posted Aug 23, 2009 11:16 am GMT

What else can't we talk about except the PS3 Slim? While it's not exactly the world's best kept secret, it's still a freaking amazing thing for me since I've been considering one ever since E3 '09. Not only will it likely run less space footprint-wise (esp. since I've become spoiled by the small, small footprint that is the Wii), but it can serve as a freaking good Blu-ray player.
But even with the lower barrier of entry of a really enticing $299, I still won't be able to afford this because I'm short on cash right now. I don't think I'll plan to get a PS3 for a long time, unless circumstances lead me to pick a Blu-ray player, at the least, and I think I'm gonna sit through the set of huge 2010 releases before I decide on a purchase or not.
Only one thing is clear though:
It comes out on my birthday... well purportedly over in North America, and 3 days over the rest of the world, but don't ruin the illusion for me, will ya?

I'm considering buying it right now, what with the immense reception it's been getting and all. With it selling like hotcakes, developer support may probably expand as well so we can get some real games finally working over there so I think it's a great investment, along with the much-lauded Wii Sports Resort.
But what do you guys think? Should I get it? I'm getting a 56 US dollar package that's composed of Sports Resort and an additional MotionPlus, which I think considering the taxes in our country, is a steal. Hey, I'm investing on the ability to play some potentially great games like Red Steel 2 (PLEASE be a good game.) and... wait, what are all the other Wii Motion Plus games available out there anyway?
Whatever the case, I'm sure at some point the developer support will just become massive. It's like Sony's prototype stick thingy, only in a small stub that you attach to the existing Wii Remote, which I have to admit, is pretty innovative since it enables better 1:1 movement in a user-friendly package. I'm not at all suggesting that I've given up my stance on the Wii Motion Plus being incorporated into the standard Wiimote, I'm just saying that in comparison to the Natal or Stick Thingy inputs, people are more familiar with the Wiimote, thus more user-friendly.
Quite frankly, the prospective of a Zelda game that uses MotionPlus makes me drool.

I've always hated it when something intended to be "clean" is infused with the sensibilities of a 12-year old, but this? This is different.
WHAT THE EFF IS THIS?!
I know that I'm overreacting since patents don't always mean "next hot item", no, but just the idea of Nintendo patenting something like thisdraws the line for me. It may not be no Vitality Sensor, but it sure is useless. If I wanted to simulate myself having a bumpy ride, I go to Disneyland's 3D theater and watch some animated short, I don't want that in my house!
I do know that there is an audience for this, which is probably why Nintendo patented it in the first place. Their vision of an extremely immersive gaming experience doesn't have to be this retarded! Why not give us the Power Pad again if you have to? This is just... insane.
So again, may the 12 year olds start their jokes.

Before I break into song (oh, I hate that song, btw), I just might as well say that it's a very apt description of my activity over here at Gamespot. Actually, I've logged on several times in between my "hiatus" and since then I've bought a few games namely, The Sims 3 Collector's Edition (I even got the USB thingy!), Street Fighter IV (which I can't max out because the frame rate will become slow as hell) and SMT: Devil Summoner for the DS (which I haven't played because my brother hogged it immediately, go figure).
Quite frankly, I've become a bit weary and I'm just DYING to play something, anything, because there's quite a bit too much to do these days. I'm also catching PS3 envy after that really great E3 event, which is obviously old hat especially since PAX is right around the corner.
Really, the only thing keeping me sane is, can you believe it?
My trusty first generation iPod touch.
So many apps to download! As I type, I'm downloading Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, a much admired game that everyone's simply recommending. Is it really worth the hefty 200 or so MB's? I don't know, I have no nostalgic love for it. For me, it's just like a game that simply came out of the blue, then I realize it's a bit more of a "cult" classic.
Well, I'll be going and posting here from time to time, and the next post probably won't take as long to come up either. Happy gaming/summer to the Americans, I'm freakin' jealous.
BTW: I think the iPod touch is slowly turning me into a casual gamer. Evidence: I WANT WANT WANT Wii Sports Resort and MotionPlus. But maybe it's just me trying to convince myself that "this is it. MotionPlus is truly the justification of my Wii's existence" because I haven't really bought any games for it lately... especially that elusive Boom Blox (I know there's a new version, but I just want to play the original first.). For now, if ever I even have time to play the Wii, I only play Punch-Out (oh, didn't mention I bought that, didn't I?) or Rock Band 2 with my siblings. Other games are left to rot unless a huge number of people come.

There's something different about the top part of GameSpot, as you may have noticed. Frankly, I'm still adjusting to it, although I kind of like it?
Do you all like that new uhhh... header, is it called?
Anyway, in other news I've gone back to playing the Sims 2. For some reason I re-developed my addiction to the game, and it's hampering my progress not only in other games but life itself. Hopefully, I get rid of this addiction in time for school which comes in a few weeks. Wow, time flies by so fast.

The Wii MotionPlus is the technology that should've been built into the Wiimotes since the beginning. Although I'm kind of okay with the introduction of this peripheral as well as the wise decision to let EA pack it in with Tiger Woods, just selling this thing alone probably won't make much money in my view.
You see, there are already a lot of people who bought into the Balance Board, the Zapper and not to mention those expensive Wiimotes and Nunchuks (seriously, they shouldn't even be separate!) so I don't see how they'll buy into MotionPlus since it just enhancesthe motion-control instead of tangibly blowing our minds.
Because Nintendo blowing our minds was so2006.
So now, I propose a relatively simple solution that will not only entice me and other gamers, but also increase the chance of success of the new accessory. I'm not talking about game pack-ins, I'm talking about actually incorporating it into the Wiimote and retaining the price of the Wiimote itself. If not, at least increase the price by, I don't know, 5 bucks?
Not only that, Nintendo should also pack this thing in standard with newer Wii's, or at least let consumers get one free if they bought their Wii's in a set period of time. An accessory like this is important because it increases the precision of the Wiimote and reduces lag time, and this will benefit future sports, driving, hack and slash and WarioWare games. As understated as this accessory sounds, it has potential to make a big impact.
And why not do all those things? Sony introduced the Dualshock controller during the PS1's life and it became successful due to it being packed-in with newer consoles. Apple, while not primarily a gaming company, also introduced a 16GB version of the iPhone a few years ago, cut the 8GB's price, phased out the 4GB model and look where the iPhone is today.
OK, the iPhone example sounds kinda bad, but technically, Nintendo would meet the same backlash if they did the same with MotionPlus by incorporating it into the Wiimote itself. And yes, perhaps developer support will have to be as big as the PS1 during the DualShock was introduced, but to be honest, I think it has to be the other way around.
Nintendo needs to observe these measures so people can buy the upgraded Wiimotes so more publishers will think supporting this accessory will be lucrative and in turn, developers can create better motion-controlled games, and most importantly, support the system as well.

One of my favorite games on the DS by far is the Ace Attorney series, and now that Capcom's announced a new installment, I should be jumping for joy.
But I'm not.
So I read GameSpot's article on my iPod touch this morning and I was already happy about the headline. It involves Miles Edgeworth- one of my favorite Phoenix Wright characters- and probably Wright, Gumshoe, Maya and company. Unfortunately, the line "players will be swapping the courtroom for the crime scene to take their legal skills on the road as the titular character investigates a series of mysterious deaths around various locations in the game" made me a bit wary. You see, while investigation was indeed a very integral part of the past few games, it was the courtroom battles I always ached for. While the article assures that these battles are still present, I'm still left skeptical.
Much of the charm actually comes from the half-body sprites present in those other games. I mean, look at them! They look like they belong in a retro King of Fighters game! True, I'm still curious about the plot revolving this as well as the "Logic" system and the suspect interrogation, but this is not an instant first-day buy for me unlike when Apollo Justicewas first revealed.
Perhaps this is just an answer to the persistent criticisms reviewers lobby upon Capcom like, "It feels recycled from the last game." or "Capcom is resistant to change." which I understand, but change the formula too much and you might get a crappy game.
That's why... I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm hoping for the best in this game (it even has the director of Onimusha 2 in there), but I have my doubts.
P.S., Who's Kay Faraday?

It makes me sweat, it makes me crazy, but..
it makes me so happy.
I just got World of Goo for my Mac (because I don't always open my Windows computer) and I'm having a great time with it. OK, maybe it's kinda hard to get used to the physics, but it's rather addicting. Right now, I've just unlocked Chapter 2, and I'm gonna get right on to the next level.
This will definitely hold me off until MadWorld gets to our retailer.
Have fun, people. I'm outta here.

There's nothing better in a plastic axe gamer's week than new songs to download. While we oversaw the release of Journey, Pat Benatar and Spongebob songs a couple days ago, a Harmonix insider has also confirmed a few more songs coming next week aside from Toby Keith.
I sat down with a friend of mine who worked at Harmonix, and he told me something more than I can swallow."We got such a warm reception over the Spongebob DLC, that we've decided to expand our horizons yet again," says the insider who wished to remain anonymous. He showed (shoved?) a flyer "accidentally" on my face.
I got this in a digital format through Conflickr.
Indeed, Harmonix wasn't kidding when it announced the kids' show Barney as part of the new downloadable content available for Rock Band and Rock Band 2. It features exclusive tracks made just for the game, meaning that the ever-famous "I Love You" song has been added in and reproduced for the game.It doesn't stop there, all-new tracks for your toddlers have been added as well in this planned three-pack release. Aside from "I Love You", it also has "Let's Go BJ" and "Imagination in the House".
"These three songs will not only ease toddlers into the game, it will also let them learn about the facts of life," commented the insider. "In fact, 'Imagination' was so catchy, I'll sing a few lines for ya.
"We can do it in the bedroom,
perhaps the bathroom,
maybe in the living room too.
Just remember that
your Uncle Barney loves you..."And that was when he got a call and said he had to leave. I had one last question for him, though: surely there was more than Barney coming?
"Well, we also had our share of hate when we revealed the Spongebob pack, so we had Journey to shut them up. Next week we release Toby Keith to shut them up as well."

This is the first time I've played it (yes, I got the DS version) and despite my experience with several other RPG's, this one still tops everything. Seriously, I must be in love.
Kidding aside, Chrono Trigger is one of the best RPG's I've ever played, and I'm itching to actually begin a new game+! A review is in order, and it's found below.
Now with Chrono Trigger out of the way, I can finally change my avatar and banner, but I'm not sure as to what kind of "thing" I should change them to. You see, I wanna have a unified banner and avatar
.So I want you to... to...
to...
CHINATOWN WARS!

It won't be an ordinary occurrence, that's for sure.
What am I talking about? Well I'm talking about people being able to finish the campaign of House of the Dead: Overkill in just one sitting. Seriously, it's that short.
Still, it's a lot of serious fun and I'd recommend it if you're itching to buy a Wii game but you don't know what to buy. The music is SICK too! More of the game is elaborated in my review.
I just have to single out one thing though, and that's the ending. It will simply SCAR me, but at the same time, it will always make me laugh. Oh my god, it's just funny and wrong... and ironic.
Just an error in my review though, pointed out by my brother: Isiah Washington should be ISAAC Washington!

I'm still waiting for my retailer to restock on House of the Dead Overkill and MadWorld, but that doesn't mean I'm not getting my gaming fix. Matter of fact, I just finished Prince of Persia (embarrassingly I haven't reached the halfway point of Bioshock which I haven't been playing for months turning to years) and I might be training my eye on Gears of War (just gonna have to tweak the year of my system clock first) or maybe I'll finish Bioshock first.
I know, a blog post that has a title called "Finished Prince of Persia" is bound to have something about the ending. Well, yeah it does, so I'll put a spoiler alert first from here.
***SPOILERS***
You can say that I'm not as pissed as all the others since, of course, the game forces you to release the darkness the duo has been avoiding throughout the game. This was unexpected for me, really, and it leaves me wanting for more. I mean, the ending indicates a waste of time for the gamer, but think about the sequel.
I don't really feel as strongly as the others, but I still feel somethingabout the ending- and a game that makes me feel something is extremely rare- and this is why Prince of Persia IMO is a really good game.
Yes, I know about the Epilogue DLC, but I don't have an Xbox 360, so I'm constantly on a cliffhanger for now since I'm only a stinkin PC/Wii gamer. :\
***SPOILER OVER***
To correspond with my finishing of the game, I've put up a review as well.

I just traversed through Yahoo!'s home page and found this article concerning the ultra-stylized beat-em-up MadWorld for the Wii. It said that a watchdog group called the National Institute on Media and the Family deemed the Wii to be unsafe for children anymore. Oh, come on, seriously? Look at its frigging game library- not all of its games are the lame mini-game collections and cute Mario spin-offs!
Let's go through time and see what other games have received an M rating even before MadWorld: Manhunt 2, No More Heroes, Call of Duty: World at War, House of the Dead: Overkill, Dead Rising: Chop 'Till You Drop, I could go on.
Since when did the Wii turn un-family-friendly all of a sudden? Parents still have control of what their kids can or cannot play, right? There is an ESRB rating slapped on the front, right? Hell, for every hardcore game released on the system, there'd probably be like a thousand more crappy games just waiting for the (stereotypically) ignorant casual game buyer.
Epic fail. Why even make this game a big deal? It could've made sense if this outcry happened during the launch of No More Heroes, but not today.
School's out
Yep, my school year's done, finally. I can now play all those games (and probably finish them as well) I've been wanting to play! (Plus, I get to be active in GameSpot once again. Maybe I'll change my banner, too.)- Posted Mar 12, 2009 8:52 am GMT
