Re: Sonic Generations Review (1 year ago)

Wow, couldn't disagree more here, massive Sonic nut here and while I love the modern sonic levels of generations the classic mode is highly stupid, its so blurry you can't see what you're doing and Sonic seems to jump as high as Oprah at her heaviest, this is how 2d sonic should be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxXycBv3Rlk

PS. I feel http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/01/sonic-generations-review/ got it right, but obviously im in the minority.

Re: London Philharmonic Orchestra to release The Greatest Video (1 year ago)

The Greatest Video Game Music and they select two CoD games? odd, anyway good to see Liberi Fatali in there, looks like a pretty cool list even if there are some omissions.

Re: Forza 4 DLC season pass announced (1 year ago)

Id like to see some data on how many new releases are sold at full price, I personally wait for a deal nowdays,I mean i bought Deus Ex off of Amazon for less the $40 last week.

Instead of charging us a premium and making us pay for these DLC Passes why not release the game at $50, dont let resellers drop the price and offer a DLC deal that is worth say an extra $20 or so, Im sure the Publishers would make more money as the $20 DLC pass bypasses retailers and suppliers margins.

Re: Call of Duty: Elite pricing confirmed (1 year ago)

So if you miss out on the hardened expect to be paying $185 a year to play Cod online with all the perks, more if you're a XBL player and lets face it you'll have to go through the same thing again next year, all of a sudden this is seeming beyond stupid,

Activision need to explain there pricing model to Australians, I mean its $50usd for the same subscription and $60usd for the same game.

I was hoping for the day when the likes of Steam became mainstream and DL gaming meant that we would pay fair prices but Activision charge us crazy amounts compared to the US for a digital copy, fuck this company, I dont need to play there games that badly, Ill have fun with all the other titles coming out this year.

Re: Kirby's Epic Yarn Australian release confirmed (2 years ago)

Seriously though Nintendo, regardless of branch offices, you need to stop screwing over PAL gamers. I for one wont be purchasing a PAL 3DS ever.

Re: Valve resubmit Left 4 Dead 2 to OFLC (3 years ago)

We all know that the refusal of an R18+ rating system can be attributed to but one man, but do we all know that the SA Attorney General is a man of questionable ethics to begin with?

This is a man who is friends with Peter Liddy's(SA's most notorious pedophile)circle of friends and is in fact a close friend to Peter Liddy's power of attorney, a man that the SA AG appointed to be a magistrate for SA all while apparently being investigated for fraud by the police and yes, did the AG know this was going on? are we to believe that your sense of right and wrong is something you should judge for others?

It's very hard to swallow a stance that "Video Games are harmful to people and I want them stopped" when your support for the circle of friends around a convicted pedophile is to such a high degree.

Remember Kids, video games are bad and if anyone touches you inappropriately then thats ok!

People we need to get rid of this guy, he is but one man.

Re: Xbox 360 Elite gets a price drop (3 years ago)
