@JirachiFan: A Netflix subscription is required on all platforms, Xbox included. Nobody gets free access to the service.

@Metroid_Fan: Single company, not necessarily the same team.

Grasshopper seems to be attracting a whole slew of talent this year, what with Yamaoka hopping aboard and a Mikami collaboration. They're a really exciting developer to watch.

@YoshiSage: Why?

@Sylverstone: Here's your chance, do your dance.

Sounds cool, but maybe not $15 cool for my tastes. I'm excited to give the PS3 demo a spin though.

Gotta save something for next year!

@pikmaniac02: They're shooting for a T rating.

I didn't know Eminem was in this game.

Oh, had no idea this was even out anywhere yet. I really need to get back to Hotel Dusk first.

@Blaketoberfest: There was an NES SP first, yep, but the Micro got a special edition as well.

There's a picture of the back with the 20th logo on it.

Getting a strong Pixeljunk Shooter vibe from that art. Nicey nice.

Sweet.

@Kingbuilder: I don't recall exactly how many blocks, but it's in the 230 region. Hours, well, depends on what you want to do. If you just want to play through the Journey and ignore the new challenge modes then two or three hours, more if you get into the side stuff.

@axelay80: Act 3 gets...interesting. Definitely stick with it!

@Omega: Pretty much, although it's more interesting than I think you're assuming. Try the demo (PC/Mac/Linux) and see if it's your cup of tea, but keep in mind that on Wii you have full 360-degree rotation.

They already jumped long ago.

Like I said, I was probably wrong.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I ever actually looked at the bios. I was too busy racing.

@GabeGreens: Because it's cool. It gets categorized as that because we don't have a "Random Crap" tag.

Saves me the trouble of muting everyone then.

@romulux: Modern Warfare Reflex controlled great. If they can at least duplicate that I don't see why GoldenEye would control poorly. I think the CC demos are just to win over people who don't care about pointer controls.

@JamieO: I think they're approaching it more as a new game based off the movie (with the plot updated for 2010) and not so much as a remake of the N64 game.

I watched that man hang himself. I am confused.

My issue isn't that shake to reload is in, it's that it feels awkward and that the better weapons give you/unlock the option to ignore it completely. To me, doing that is essentially admitting that it's not the best way to reload. And the ever increasing clip sizes means you'll do it less (largest holds 250 bullets, which is kinda ridic), removing the strategy of timing your reloads. Thus, poorly handled.

@6: Ghost Squad, Overkill, HotD 2&3, RE: UC/DC and Dead Space: Extraction say hi. Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean it's not handled poorly here.

It was included in the sense that the games would recognize what was a valid word for play, but you couldn't look up a word yourself.

It's towards the Outer Rim song. Right before, I believe.

@edhe: The track list Shiryu sent in said it was Game Boy, but I'd imagine they're very similar anyway.

@Radixxs: Sure am! You can use the link at the bottom of the post to send stuff in.

@SoulSilver: Only if it's all you ever play. Fortunately, we all play other stuff for ourselves too.

I don't think I'll ever be as good as that video. Seems all I'm capable of in the PC version is slapping the other person's kneecap as I collapse uselessly to the ground.

@Prosody: No Kinect needed for Child of Eden, it plays just fine with a controller apparently.

Ew, gak cake.

N64-level graphics and you use this as evidence of it? Hah, oh man.

This looks a-ma-zing. Can't wait!

"Really? An 8 for yet another Sudoku game bombarding DSiWare?"

Genre saturation's got nothing to do with it, and it's not like we have a finite amount of 8's kicking around out back. And besides, it's not like you have to buy it, but those who are interested in getting their first/next sudoku download will want to start here.

@Rerun: It's more freeform than Contra or a shmup; think of it as a top-down arena shootout. If you look at the screenshot gallery, image 6 is of Shooter.

Someone buy me something from there plz

I loved this game, even though Rare collectathons were starting to grow old for me by the time it came out. I got all the way to the last boss and then like ran out of rockets or something so I never beat it. Ah well.

Ah, my bad. Reading comprehension FTW.

Anyway, not quite. In dotstream your top speed would gradually increase the longer you draft next to another beam instead of banking boost power as you do here. The slowdown from turning seems more severe in light trax as well, which makes you think a little more about when turning is a good idea.

I didn't go into too much detailed comparison in the review because dotstream is a Japan-only game and figured it'd be lost on most people.

@accc: Fourth paragraph.

@Ravage: 8 pm Toky, noon GMT, 7 am Eastern. Post has been updated accordingly, sorry about that!

@JimLad: Pink is just a color and can thus be worn by anyone.

^They're the stars of Travis' favorite anime, and in his apartment in NMH2 you can play a Bizarre Jelly 5 shmup.

I'd pay for this shirt. eBay, here I come!

@Jimmy: You miss out on a lot of good stuff then.

I've never gotten into the bullet hell thing, but I'd probably give this a shot. The red ship sounds me-friendly.

Definitely going with the sad clown otter.

@Mickeymac: Yet here you are commenting on them!

RedOctane was shut down as a company and remaining staff was absorbed into Activision earlier this year.

Nah, he's English.

...compared to Monkey Island, people. Compared to Monkey Island.

My dumbdar is excellently tuned!
