I don't like Lego Star Wars. It's random, I can't tell who's who (and I play on a pretty big screen) and a lot of it feels like grinding rather than playing. I like Legos. I like Star Wars. I'm irritated that the combination of the two didn't fly with me.

And I'd watch the Michaelangelo beatings EVERY...SINGLE...WEEK...if it was funny. And it is.

Ding! Your art teacher is right. I also define art as something that provokes an emotional response. That's why so many things are art to some and not art to others. Is a video game art to a non-gamer who sees them as a big waste of time and money? No. To me, on the other hand, almost every...

I'm going with Iron Man, though I admit it's a long-shot. I love everything I've seen in the trailers, and it's the one I'm really looking forward to the most. The smart money is on Dark Night being the best comic book movie this year, though Hellboy's got a shot based on the DelToro's...

You're giving them a spade? Too soft, I say! Bare hands builds character!

The favorite Anime is probably Miyazaki's: My Neighbor Totoro (for the kids, mostly), Laputa (US Title, Castle in the Sky), Princess Mononoke, Porko Rossa, and of course, Spirited Away. In most cases, the dubbed versions are top notch. I'm also a huge fan of nearly everything Ghost in the...

They tested "a videogame", as in ONE game? You might as well show NFL to a group of men and women and based on the results of brain activity determine that men are more addicted to TV than women. They have determined that those men are more likely to be addicted to THAT GAME. Are they going...

One thing I've noticed lately about Japanese games is how they stress positive reinforcement. NPC's frequently tell you you're doing a good job, or how they wish they were in on your adventure. Katamari, Pokemon, Zelda, Mario, all take the time to tell the player how they are positively...

So, you've never watched the show, you don't plan on ever watching it, but you have specific ideas about how it should be written. It sounds to me like you should be reviewing video games for Fox News.

Everyone can write. Does that mean that writing, as a whole looks terrible? No. It means there is a huge quantity of written work out there and much of it is poor and some of it is great. Greater than if only a select few were 'allowed' or 'capable' of writing. 100,000,000 people making...

We watched the final 3 episodes of Season 3 last night, just to get ready. It was better than I remember and I'm looking forward to it. If you haven't seen it at all, rent the 1st Season. It's good entertainment in these dark TV times.

There will always be somebody, either an artist, or a kid in his basement, or a crass multi-million dollar corporation that will push the boundaries of taste and ethics. It's where much of what's wrong with our culture can be found. It's also where much of what's great is found. It's a fair...

I tend to think us oldsters play the same games as anyone, but maybe not... My current games: Everything Half-Life - Currently redoing HL1 (Source version) Portal - A Triumph. Super Mario Galaxy - Almost done with it. Endless Ocean - Had it for three days, might be getting bored...

I just bought this today, and I have to say I'm impressed so far. I have been pleasantly surprised by the game's structure. Yes, it is totally open-ended and you can go and do what you like. However, there is almost always a suggested activity or job. You're seldom hanging out with...

My 6 year old son LOVES Rayman Ravening Rabbids, both #1 and #2 (he hasn't played the original since we got the sequel at Christmas.) The first one is probably better, overall, but the party-game options are better in the sequel, and I like those sorts of games. Mario Party 8 is also a good...
