Sure. Zen Pinball, Pushmo, Cave Story, Mighty Switch Force.... that's just off the top of my head. We could debate on the what each others opinion on a "Good" game is, but that's not the point. You say that there are "fake screenshots" and reviews all over the store. I've not seen this at all, In fact, most even include video of the same in action. I've never once felt like I was given a bait and switch from the store.
You don't like the games they offer, fine.... but to say their offering buggy and misleading games on the store is just flat out false.
Not to talk about the web shopping thingy, which is filled with horrendous buggy crap, it's 10x worse than randomly downloading some linux game with apt-get, no, they've got fake screenshots, and fake reviews. Making you buy the game before noticing you've been ripped off.
I wouldn't play most of these games even if I was paid to do it.
You got an example of this? I've never seen anything at all in the eShop like you're talking about.
Are you sure you didn't get some weird Chinese night market knock-off 3DS?:)
Keep in mine, that even if B&N were to fail, the Nook supports a number of different file types, including ePub. Which can be bought from a good number of online stores. So it's not like it goes down with the ship.
Just last week I found myself playing Duck Hunt briefly, for the first time in probalby around 18 years. Is there any equivalent sort of game on any other system? I don't see how that genre could have possibly been a dead end.
If you're talking about light gun games in general....
PS1(?) and PS2 both had Time Crisis and Point Blank (a Great game)
The Wii has the House of the Dead series.
I seem to remember the Dreamcast having a fair amount of shooters on it as well.
Not sure about the PS3 but I've yet to see anything for the Xbox360 (or a gun for that matter)
I totally agree with you. I just finished watching Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed last night. As an atheist, I was embarrassed after watching the final interview with him.
He came off as pompous and ignorant.
I agree 100%
I tried out the Japanese version a few months back. While I was happy to see that most of the popular pages (YouTube, Slashdot, Gmail) all worked. It was painfully slow to use. I think what made it worse was that it wasn't just the connection speed that was slow, there was a feeling of sluggishness with the entire package.
I hope they've improved it for the US launch.
I do the same with my wife when she's watching American Idol. She seems to be cool with that, it's when I'm sitting across the room on the computer when she gets pissed off.

I would love to see a reboot of Out of This World
One can carry on an interveiw and not look like an ass, even when it's been edited.
