    256: Able - Bodied Gamer

    That's what difficulty levels are for. Bayonetta, in particular, was inspired. Its Super Easy mode lets you play the game with one hand. Once again, it's all about more options. As for favorite game console of all time, I think a lot of them prefer the old consoles over anything. The NES, for...

    Interactive Storytelling

    Concerning the enemy spaceship: I would suggest explosive homing missiles with a large radius, but low damage. It could catch up to & hit a player as long as he was running away from it.

The Pictochat report: also nice. Every parent should know the dangers of letting your child use anything...

    Ding! Now You Suck Less

    Disgaea has a better solution: let the players increase/decrease the enemies' levels between battles. Kind of like Diablo's Nightmare/Hell modes, except you can change it midgame. Actually, Disgaea had a lot of small tweaks that made leveling extremely fun. It might be interesting to go through...

    Unskippable: X-Blades

    In a better game, the lion wins. You spend the rest of the game playing as the lion as he tries to repair the damage and stop all the other stupid idiots getting cursed trying to take advantage of it.
