Short memory

Is it just me or have people already stopped talking about Metroid Other M?

Dead weight
September 2nd, 2010
Why must video game developers continue to bolt on useless multiplayer modes to their great single-player games? Are they that afraid of the vocal minority backlash? Are one player games really that bad?

Inner monologues
September 1st, 2010
I wonder how many times Donkey Kong will take a break from busting baddies in Donkey Kong Country Returns to flashback to his childhood and talk about his daddy issues in hammy, poorly voice-acted cutscenes?
Samus, any thoughts on that?
Failure to launch
September 1st, 2010
PlayStation Move: Good hardware, no games, don’t buy at launch. Kinect: Can’t understand you, you foreigners!
The motion gaming experience, it is tougher than Nintendo makes it look, huh?
Joke

O what a glorious day it will be when Microsoft announces that the $10 Xbox Live Gold price hike will result in fewer advertisements on the service!
Incredible value

More incredible value from Microsoft: Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the world’s first $65 directional pad.
Dawson’s Creek in space

G4′s Other M review is incredible. Really glad they had a woman review it as well, considering how insulting this version of Samus is to females–gamers or otherwise.
Watch for a bit, and tell me you don’t laugh when the Dawson’s Creek-like soundtrack kicks in.
Adding value, con’t.

If a price increase is delivered by someone named “Major Nelson” it’s easier to swallow because it’s hip and cool.

Hey, somebody’s got to pay for all that awesome Xbox Live Facebook connectivity. Might as well be you.
Managing expectations
August 30th, 2010
Sony, positively brimming with confidence over the looming Move launch:
“Am I expecting a massive day one? Not particularly. We didn’t with EyeToy, either. It went on to be massively successful.”
Remember when Nintendo said the exact same thing about the Wii? And when the hell did EyeToy become “massively successful?!”
