Since I'm not a console game player I'm not fussed by the release of this system. It should be interesting to get gamers reactions of the new controller.

I notice the XBox 360 is now cheaper than ever too..... :)

Personally, I believe there are too many genres, unless you plan to give a game multiple tags and cross link them all. The definition needs to be as broad as possible. From your initial list I would merge most: Platform -> same as sidescroller and includes acarde Logic/puzzle -> includes board games...

I recently finished playing Prey and thought I share (bore) you with my thoughts. Having been spoilt by the premium FPS (ie, Half Life 2) I'm pretty picky about those games which I do play. Since I moved out of Sydney, to some land, I haven't really had the time (as much as I would like) to play wit...

I don't actually believe what I'm arguing. ;) But it's a greater challenge to argue a point I don't believe in rather than something I do believe in. So, don't think I'm having a go at you, just in case the thought ever...

Most comprehensible statements are logical within their own conceptual framework. However, a certain standard must be set if individuals are to meaningfully discuss the particulars of their surrounding environment. Sooo, since you find such views (presumably) incomprehensible or you "can't mea...

I certainly agree with your words. On a different matter I'm under the impression that misanthropes are often animal lovers (e.g. harboring notions such as "humanity should be destroyed, so that animals can thrive" and "humans are inherently evil and animals are morally superior"...

I couldn't agree more with your comments Prideth. It annoys me that the Aust Government has leapt on the bandwagon condemming the NK activities. Bush is clearly an imbecile. As a head of a nation I'd be pretty pissed if the head of another country refered to myself and my people as an "axis of ...

I think all these games have an end to the tech tree somewhere, although many games tackle this problem in different ways. The CIV series made every 'Future Tech' add more points to your score. Master of Orion did max out at level 99 for all techs - but up to this point, the improvements would keep ...

The real questions I have are these:

1. I heard it might be a online game (improves the 'gene' pool I imagine)

2. How much freedom are we going to have with this evolution - if I wished to create a race of triple-breasted 8 foot tall armour plated bikini clad zombie physco killer chicks, can I?

Re: Animal Rights

No, but closely related. I agree. Although I would question whether serial killers had a conscience and whether cruelity towards animals was necessarily a stepping stone to murdering people. But you seem to be implying that you refrain from tormenting animals because you are worried you will become...

the brain doesn't wait until it has analysed every bit of information, because that does not serve to optimize its efficiency. Indeed. Our brain is automatically editing bits out which it doesn't consider important. Our perception is already 'dumbed' down - but only to the point which our enviromen...

Re: Animal Rights

I think that sometimes lengthy introductions prevents the thread from getting off the ground in the first place. True. Short and sweet and to the point is good but it needs a sting in the tail - different people react to different things. So, do you see as cruelity to animals and humans as the same...
