Again, they're not going anywhere. They're restructuring and undergoing changes. Expect an announcement today.

This is likely a very poor publicity stunt. Check their Facebook page. It sounds like they're making changes and this is their attempt at viral marketing. EDIT: Since the Facebook page is flooded with mourning, I'd like to mention that there's some sort of big announcement that's planned for this We...

I have to wonder sometimes about storytelling in games. In Japan, Dragon Quest outsells Final Fantasy and it has a more mature approach to storytelling, with believable characters who have understandable motives. And wow no plot holes. Final Fantasy in America, however, greatly outsells the Dragon ...

Yeah, for the most part, Japanese games are made for kids and teenagers because they're the only ones with enough free-time to actually devote themselves to games. Plus, Japan has as much an obsession with youth as the West has an obsession with adulthood - while we all want to be grown-ups, powerf...

It's not your ...

Hello. This is my first post in this thread. NES Castlevania - For the first time ever, I beat this. I had to use save states, though. I used them somewhat conservatively, saving the state every time I reached a new section of a level. Even using those, the game was incredibly frustrating at times a...

I'm sorry to hear about the news. My great grandmother had alzheimer's and it was miserable to watch her slowly degrade into practically a vegetative state. And once they're in that state, the disease brings suffering onto the entire family. It's hard to see a family member slowly waste away, and th...

Earthbound - I didn't like the battle system. Gears of War - I don't like the feel of the weapons and there's no strong "feeling" that you actually shot an enemy. Uncharted - While it was fun, I had to force myself to finish it. Metal Gear Solid 4 - Everything was so well presented, but I ...
