That's exactly what I thought... hardly seems like something to brag about. I personally hated the simulation aspect of the first game, not only was it completely irrational it also constantly ruined immersion. Nothing like getting chased by a bunch of guards and then seeing random blue...

Sly Cooper The character is great, the backstory is fun, and set it in Paris where the game was at it's best. Monkey Island Once you got to Curse it was very similar to an animated film, this wouldn't be that big of a jump. Hopefully the new entries will resurrect the series and this...

In Mass Effect, when you're talking to Ashley about Eden Prime, and you describe how Geth are the perfect predators, silent and deadly, made for ambushes, and she says, "they have flashlight heads, sir." Sam and Max has some great ones too. Here's one paraphrased: Director: I could care...

Mario Kart DS New Super Mario Bros. Super Mario 64 DS Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney If you like RPGs there's an amazing selection (far better than the current generation of consoles): Final Fantasy 3, 4, and Tactics A2 Chrono Trigger Disgaea DS Knights in the Nightmare Lunar Knights...

My vote goes to either everyone in Little Lamplight in Fallout 3 or Cooke and Mack in Lost Odyssey. I don't understand why I have a gun that shoots nukes and I still have to persuade a kid to open a gate that looks like it's made of two sheets of tin. It's a shame too because the city is one...

As long as you change the difficulty before you leave Eden Prime and don't change it back again you will get the achievement.

Yeah, 2 is the worst. It's not even fun to play for retro/nostalgia value like FFI or FFIII because the leveling system is so awful. Once IV came along they started getting serviceable stories, and since then I don't think any of them have been actually "bad".

MMORPGs get away with a monthly fee because their servers are huge, and they regularly update for many years. Look at how much WoW has changed since release (even ignoring the expansions, the UI and feature list has changed radically from patches) and other MMOs like Eve Online rely solely on...

Saint's Row 2's Co-Op achievements. Putting co-op in your game is fine, but putting this many achievements related to it is ridiculous. Not only do you have to play through every mission with a friend (who also has the game and a 360, because there's no splitscreen), you also have to do every...

Not really. You'll miss a few references but all the characters are new and the story isn't really related. It's not a totally new world like each FF but it's close. Also, the first wasn't even released in America until last year, after the 2nd and 3rd got released here. So it's not that...

AC1 was one of the most frustrating games I ever played. The repetition, the annoying guards, the combat, the Animus totally ruining immersion... ugh. There will have to be major changes if I'm going to play 2.

XII had good voice-acting so I imagine this one will too. X had some bad parts but it was their first real attempt at it, and it wasn't nearly as bad as some people said.

I would like it if they got rid of the leveling system. Unlockable weapons seems like a very poor way to balance the game. Blizzard had multiplayer leveling right a long time ago in Warcraft 3. Leveling up doesn't give you in-game advantages, but it means you fight better players and only the...

They'll just go play other games. It's going to be around for a long time though, I'd say at least a decade more. Ultima Online and Everquest 1 are still alive, hell even Meridian 59 has players, and none of them had anywhere near the numbers WoW has.
