O_O Huh? What console did you dish out $800 for? You should find that con and get some money back. You're nitpicking his phrasing a bit too much. Hardware has drivers, and bugs in these drivers cause instabilities in software that accesses the hardware (such as games talking to a GPU via...

I don't know why you're taking this so personally. If a bakery decided to build a shop in the next town over because they felt it would be more profitable than building in your town... would you shake your fist and vow that you won't forget their "affront"? Game developers are businesses...

The future - in my opinion - is going to be in the migration of games from locally held content to residing on service platforms. It will take a while of course, but OnLive and Gaikai are demonstrating what's to come.

Their total assets are worth far more than Apple can afford, even with all the cash the iBots have infused them with. :P

Sony as a whole is monstrously huge. I'd be surprised if Apple was anything but a tiny bug compared to it. That said, Apple might have the ability to buy out just the PSP or SOE divisions. I highly doubt Sony is interested in letting go of the PlayStation division or it's myriad of other...

The only thing that makes Fallout at all notable - in terms of setting - is it's specific juxtaposition of early Americana-style idyllic innocence (and associated deco-like styles) with a violent apocalyptic aftermath. By no stretch of the imagination did Fallout invent the genre, so it's...
