It sounds like the team should have worked on differentiating the two "playstyles" instead of incorporating. Just like Zelda, when you engage an enemy, your camera changes. So they could incorporate a more cinematic and fixed camera style for what they needed at the time, and then have a nice over-head kind of camera style when not engaged with the enemy. It sounds like they needed to separate their supposed camera styles instead of trying to mangle them together.
I agree with oldgamesonly, it was definitely because they haven't release Earthbound on VC yet. If they released that game, I would feel obligated to buy Other M.
I wonder if the F-bomb density of Mafia II is also higher than Overkill. It probably is; knowing how short Mafia II is, although it does depend on how much fun you get out of running around doing nothing.
Yeah, I can`t wait to try out the first episode. I hope it is kind of like the remastered classic Monkey Island games, I prefer the style of those to the newer ones.
What great stories! Some of them remind me of similar times that I had, but it really is great hearing how this little gray toaster affected so many lives to such an extent.
"I actually think I could have not taken the final exam and still gotten an A due to having done all the extra credit parts of the programming projects," he said. "But I took it anyway. There was free food for the exam."
What...? He could have not taken the exam and he got free food. He must have had a pretty lenient school (for a university) and a very nice prof.
I couldn't get into it; felt way too clunky and some of the design elements were torture for me. Ah well, I only paid $10 more for it and Zero when I got the 25th anniversary edition; I just wanted 4.
No, it doesn`t matter what order you play them; just play the one that sounds the best
I didn`t notice any big differences between 1 and 2, but the multiplayer in 3 sounds awesome. I think most of 2 was just a bit more tightened up, I haven`t really played 2 much.
Adventures is still my favourite SF game, with Assault at second (only really due to the multiplayer portion). I never really cared for the whole on rails thing.
I was also kind of interested in Gladiator A.D. I was keeping an eye on it to see what they were going to do with is, but either way, this seems to have exceeded my expectations since I heard of the change. I don`t really like many fighting games though, so a pass for me.
I think the reviewer has played the game, and it is hard not to enjoy when you're drunk, of course, that is the idea of the game, to get drunker (if you play it the way we do ).
I disagree. I found Miis to be a mild distraction at best, which is what every other avatar creation system is like. Character creators are a different beast however.

Re: Review: Disney Epic Mickey (Wii)
So... I think I'll just stick with Deus Ex...
Re: Review: Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands (DS)
I think that pikmaniac02 means the adultery, but I could be wrong. Anyway, good review.

Re: Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I (Wii)
...And back to having a ton of fun with Lego Harry Potter. I think this game deserves a facepalm more than flingsmash!
Re: Review: Faxanadu (Virtual Console / NES)
This sounds like a pretty fun game, might have to give it a shot.
Re: Review: Snowpack Park (WiiWare)

Re: The DK Rap Isn't the Greatest Donkey Kong Song Any More
Wow, worst song ever. Not even DK can make it better...

Re: Super Meat Boy May Skip WiiWare and Head to Retail
I will probably just buy it on Steam. I also doubt there will be many who will buy it at retail.

Yeah, I can`t wait to try out the first episode. I hope it is kind of like the remastered classic Monkey Island games, I prefer the style of those to the newer ones.
Re: How Telltale Games Approached Back to the Future: Episode I
They are offering the first episode for free:

Re: Review: TrackMania (Wii)
Wow, this game looks real colourful!
Fight the good fight
Re: Review: Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii)
Colour is the proper spelling whether you are in the States or not
Also, I don`t know if I like the really low difficulty, seems like it would get pretty boring to me. I might rent it some day.

Re: GoldenEye Maps Trailer Shows Where We'll be Spraying Our Bullets
That can`t be it?! Where is Facility? Complex? Temple? What is going on?!
Re: StreetPass Being Looked into for Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
I think that is the full video of what they showed at E3.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th October 2010 (North America)
@zkaplan: WiiWare sucks this week. That wasn't a very hard challenge...
Re: Review: Goosebumps HorrorLand (Wii)
Wow, sounds horrible.
Re: Review: Zenonia (DSiWare)
This look pretty good, glad to see something like this on DSiWare.
Re: Review: Robox (WiiWare)
Doesn`t sound like my type of game, but I could certainly see it`s appeal.
Re: Interview: Brian Provinciano - Retro City Rampage
Wow, sounds very cool; can't wait. Sounds like a lot of work was put into it, but I'm sure it's been quite rewarding as well.
Re: Review: Star Fox: Assault (GameCube)
Adventures is still my favourite SF game, with Assault at second (only really due to the multiplayer portion). I never really cared for the whole on rails thing.
Re: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Nets a Best Audio Award
Wow, glad to see those guys get some great recognition for their hard work.
Re: Review: Super Smash Bros. Melee (GameCube)
Sad to hear that some people can't enjoy this series because button-mashing doesn't win you a game.
I kid, I kid
Re: n-Space Interested in Bringing Geist Back from the Dead on 3DS
I thought Geist was pretty fun, the reviews for it were decent, but not as good as other shooters out at the time.

I enjoyed this movie for what it was. I should watch it again sometime.

Looks a bit like Puzzle Quest. Interesting idea.

Re: Review: Toribash (WiiWare)
I was really excited to get this, but I've decided I would rather the PC version, considering the control issues.

Re: Review: Pong Toss Pro - Frat Party Games (WiiWare)
I think the reviewer has played the game, and it is hard not to enjoy when you're drunk, of course, that is the idea of the game, to get drunker (if you play it the way we do ).
Re: Miyamoto Ready to Create a New Character
I disagree. I found Miis to be a mild distraction at best, which is what every other avatar creation system is like. Character creators are a different beast however.
Re: Miyamoto Ready to Create a New Character
Miis were also present on some versions of the Famicom in Japan. So not new. Millionaire Man perhaps?
