Bioshock really sucked me in with its story and atmosphere but I can't say I've been scared by it. There's a few parts that are a little spooky but nothing terribly frightening.

I couldn't care less about the anime & manga industries but legislating morality is never a good idea. Worse still is legislating at the level where parents should be taking action to protect their kids.

New mic?

If you've ever worked tech support, you'd know a little social engineering goes a long way with the average computer user. Remember Clarke's Third Law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Rule of thumb for Bethesda games: wait for GOTY. The bugs'll all be sorted out by then. It doesn't excuse them, but it at least makes you want to tear your own hair out a lot less.

From an American's perspective with otherwise no other information on the subject, I'm glad to see protests. My university wanted to increase a lot of fees by 75% or higher and the most of the campus wouldn't lift a finger to oppose it. I'm already in for crippling debts so I'm siding with...

Yeah, guys, don't get confused, they aren't uploaded automatically and you can delete them: http://igxpro.net/2010/11/07/in-case-dance-central-took-naked-photos-of-you-we-have-the-solution/ They're stored locally, you agreed to an EULA, not a breach of privacy, just FUD, etc, etc, etc.

That was strangely entertaining. Can we replace Game Dogs with this show?

Oh, that's gonna be awesome. I'd love to see them disable the quicksave/load keys too.

The lack of italics make all the difference in the world. And yeah, that's really what indies are for.

The amount of FUD being thrown around in this thread is palpable. You guys really think that Microsoft doesn't have the money to fully research and test this stuff? A lot of projects in the labs there are discarded, even after a very long time incubating. See the Courier. Sure, it won't work...

The end was kinda lame. Could have been executed better. You are reading too much into this methinks.

Called it since the trailer. Perhaps Team Ninja should have actually played Metroid Prime 1; maybe then they would figure why it was a good game. He's been saying he liked MP1 for a while now.

I can't find any hard figures for this, but I'd imagine due to the cost of the Blu-ray medium it all pans out. I like my FLAC for music too, but a video game isn't about just the quality of the assets. I'll leave this one at 'subjective'.

I absolutely agree. Simply put, if your video games can't fit on a DVD then a) Your assets are needlessly uncompressed (see MGS4), or b) Your game is too long (see FFXIII). Even then, it's not a big deal to put it on 2+ discs. When you can stream HD content through Netflix anyway, having a...
