But hey, awesome news! Psychonauts wins for best writing. Hurrah!

Funnily enough, that's still the old model we saw at the last GDC. According to Nintendo the final console will be even smaller.

Played it over at the school computers and had some awesome fun with it. It's super fast and I'm in love with the graphics. Sadly, there's not a whole lot of geeks at my school willing to sit down and play computer games, so I just played against the A.I, which is kind of depressing. (Mostly because it's loads better than me.. ) I'm in love with the concept of bringing the power cubes over to your central. Keeps you on your toes. I'd give it the but I'm gonna wait until I've played it against a REAL HUMAN BEING! And played in something other than the tutorial..

Man, this is really annoying. I can't further than starting a level, and then it crsahes, while the players are "materializing".

Well, that's exactly what they did with Morrowind. Even at low settings it was slow on my computer. My computer wasn't high-end but it certainly wasn't any old crap.

Awesome! EDIT: Never mind.. Just a joke. Good one.. Would've been cool, though.

The big sting ray ones are nasty. But there's not so much to do after you've eaten everything all the way down to the bottom. The end..

Samuel Jackson apparently has this line in the film, which is bound to become a classic up there with lines like "Here's looking at you, kid." This is quality writing, people!

Link's Awakening is the only Zelda game I ever finished. I got very close to finishing Wind Waker, but lost interest during the tri-force hunt. I wish I hadn't sold it. Really, really want to play it now. Didn't get further than the fire temple, if I remember correctly, in Ocarina of Time. No, wait. I got further. Well, at any rate, that one I never finished. A Link To The Past was awesome, but I never finished it. Got to the last boss, I think. I love A Link To The Past, Link's Awakening and Wind Waker. For me Ocarina of Time seems kind of overrated. It's awesome, but it just falls short of being amazing for me. Must be because I can never get used to the N64's clumsy controller. Or maybe I'm just clumsy.

That was awesome. Due to unlimited lives it wasn't too hard. A lot easier than some Megaman levels, at any rate. Check out the Megaman vs. Metroid, too. EDIT: It's not as fun..

Yes, but he designed the original Prince of Persia games as well as the master-piece adventure game The Last Express.

Shiggy for the win!!!

Because he wasn't already added.. *loses temper* ARRGH!

How about Shigeru Myamoto?

Looking forward to it, and drooling over the fact that it's Wi-Fi enabled too. Looks sort of Earthbound-like.

What's the deal with the POV shots? Not only are we going to be feeling bad about seeing an awful movie, but now we're also going to feel seasick from viewing it?

I should've been more clear, but when I say "killer presentation" I mean exactly what you're talking about. Just like the stickmen in N show, good graphics can be alarmingly simple. BreakQuest doesn't exactly look like a next-gen game, but it feels just as professional because it's polished down to every last detail, and uses physics and particles to great effect.

Neat! And Spyro actually looks pretty damn good.

What is this, like the fifth "video games are doomed!" thread? Why play video games if you don't see the point? Go make friends, or something. When I don't feel like being entertained by interactive entertainment, I just go out and have a drink with my friends. Or draw or something. However, I do get the need to just play something. And then I usually go and play something that I enjoy playing. And that, to me, is good enough of a point to play something. Enjoyment.

Personally, I like games with killer presentation. Make it look good to me, and I'll be the first to rush to play it. Not really feedback on what type of gameplay I like, but hell... it's at least some.. err, feedback.

No, not closely linked other than the fact that the DS has a lot of pick-up-and-play games. And that's just what Fate is... only for the PC. Oh, man. That was needlessly complex.

(Off topic a bit) Katamary Damacy might not be coming to the DS. Reliable? (On-topic) I recently got completely hooked on an indie game by the name Fate. Fairly generic, comical version of Diablo. But it's just so simple and fun. It's the ultimate casual experience. Makes me glad there's a handheld that promotes these kinds of experiences. Am in awe at how many good DS games are just around the corner (and even already here) that I just can't afford. At least they'll still be there when my paycheck arrives.

The way I see it, the point is: Storytelling, when present, isn't strong enough. Doesn't everyone pretty much agree with that?

Maybe we'll get lucky.

"The competition is irrelevant" -states Sony Europe (or their PR guy) referring to Nintendo and Sony's Euro PSP release. What an arrogant tit..
