Is this suposed to be an impression of a sexy Pokemon game? If so, is "Heeeey, how you doin'?" standard Canadian seduction language? (I definitely flashed back to one of my Canadian ex-girlfriends as soon as I read this post... :? )

Ah, but which ClayFighter? ClayFighter, ClayFighter: Tournament Edition, C2: Judgement Clay, ClayFighter 63 1/3, or ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut?
All of them :P

Optical drives simply aren't that expensive to make, and I think you're seriously underestimating just how insanely cheap optical media is to produce.

Besides, I don't see why they'd change media formats when they're trying to transition to a digital distribution model anyway.
I know optical media is cheap to produce, but so's flash memory. That and it's just a personal preference of mine. And yes, I'm aware portable systems use flash memory. That's why I said consoles. My cousin has a PS3. He never abused it. He didn't even use it THAT often. The Bluray drive in it failed. Wouldn't have happened if it took cartridges now would it? Or well of course, if they had better quality control. But yeah.

I would also love to have everything on flash memory. My N64 will never let me down.

1. Money in video games is largely redundant. It is usually so plentiful and easy to come across that it holds no value. I can't remember that last time I ran out of money in a game. GTA, Zelda, FF, all of these games shower you with money meaning that its overall value is diminished. In addition, if I were to run out of money in game, there are no adverse repercussions. Developers should include more bartering systems into their games as a means of replacing in game currency.

2. Shadow of the Colossus isn't all that great to play. It has a terrible floaty camera that never works no matter what sensitivity you set it too. In addition, the fake HDR means that whenever you do manage to get the camera to work, the brightness suddenly peaks and you can't see anything at all.

Funnily enough, this makes for one of the most visually entertaining games to actually watch rather than play.

3. Hitman Contracts is the best in the series.

Play Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Money in that game is so scarce that you pretty much have to resort to arbitrage if you want to purchase some of the more expensive items and equipment.

Ah, I disagree. I can't stand C2: Judgement Clay. Of all of them, ClayFighter: Tournament Edition is probably my favorite, despite all the cameos in the 64 games. I still made it a point to buy all of them though...

I've only played up through Blood Money, but Contracts was my favorite of the ones I did get to play.

Blood Money is incredibly dull. Everything sinister and menacing about the series was thrown out the window.

Nah I agree, I enjoy Truxton more too, but I enjoy verts more than horis in general.

I think V-V is Toaplan's best shooter though.
