but is a recreation of the sims/second life really worth 599 us dollas? these are nice additions but are hardly games. The little big world game was nice but as most sony fan boys say, it looks "kiddy" is this the "mature" gameplay sony is all about?
Reviews for games are like movie reviews. If you can find a reviewer(s) who have generally similar tastes, you will be able to judge a game with a fair degree of accuracy before you buy it. In addition without those rewiews, mega hit new games like God of War probably wouldnt be so big. I suspect a significant degree of its popularity came from people going to review sites and seeing the good reviews.
On the other end of the spectrum, how many more Final Fantasy fans would have bought Dirge of Cerebus had the reiwes not told us it was junk?
oh i wasnt aware of the fact that foxnews was an arm of the government and the only news source in the country. thanks for enlightening me. I wonder what that CBS, NBC,MSNBC, ABC, CNN stuff means.
chinese? don't mix up chinese with the chinese communist party. There are other chinese as well. People in Taiwan, Hong Kong and the diaspora hardly view the world like the communist mainland chinese. Your comment is borderline racist you do know that right?
Oh, right, because any political system that isn't an outright representative democracy is a dictatorship. Please travel more, or at least just get an education. actually thats exactly what a dictatorship is! look up the definition "a form of government in which absolute power is concentrated in a dictator or a small clique" maybe you should travel more and learn some english while you are at it.
buddhism in asia inherits the characteristic of a local religion that existed prior to the arrival of buddhism. You can see that in the existence of different gods from the previous religion in the local flavor of buddhism. That has nothing to do with your point.
when did Jimbo claim to be objectivist? the whole wikipedia project is for the "common good" if hes an objectivist, he needs to read Atlas Shrugged again and pay attention to the fate of the 20th century motor corp..
if you want a good feel for how bad this open DRM is try using the new bittorrent store or even better with free TV try using the AOL In2TV great site with a ton of good content for free download. Yet after each commercial during the show, you need to go back to the site and get re authorized for the DRM. Absolute pain in the ass.
yeah WWII was really an unjust mistake wasnt it? we should have stayed at home and let the japanese slaughter the chinese and the germans take all of europe.
from wikipedia "The ESRB chose to re-rate the game due to the discovery of nude textures included within the game's files, which were accessible within Oblivion through a third-party modification and due to more blood and gore than was revealed to ESRB."
see the second reason? that would have been caught by an actual player but instead they relied on a video and did more damage to the ESRB in the process.
Yeah, and two replies deep -- after one anti-socialist rant -- gets you to this: I think you are taling about this "Who the hell made you the arbiter of what's right and wrong? You?
I've about had it up to here with this New Slavery crap, this pseudo-socialist movement in the Linux world being pushed by self styled self aggrandizing arrogant ivory tower elitists intent on a fascist enforcement of the licensing policies of THEIR choice dictated from inside a closed circle-jerk where everybody pats themselves on the back and laughs about how stupid the "outsiders" are. The Greg KH's and Andrew Mortons of the world that are hell bent on telling programmers how to license their own code at the point of a gun. It's repugnant, just about as repugnant as this self-important arrogant post of yours."
Sounds reasonable to me. It is something people have been saying for ages. It also sounds anti-fascist the fact that once cant tell the difference between and anti-socialist and anti-fascist rant says alot about socialism...
hopefully this will help avoid not things like the hot coffee re-rating but the far worse Oblivion re-rating. That game should never had gotten a T rating. It is a good example of how the existing rating method is incredibly flawed and just serves as more ammunition.
It's sort of a shame you used a car analogy because this being slashdot, everyone got on board with that. The really insightful part of your post, and the one that should be discussed is this:
the spectrum, as a common good, should be shared in an open manner.
That's the refutation to the argument that cell companies shouldn't play because they built the infrastructure. The deal is, they built the infrastructure on a property we all own. While we are discussing the "common good" maybe we should figure out who John Galt is.
can you explain Mr Hajj's missile launch the same way? It actually a single flare that has been cloned and then called a missile. how was that dust removal?

while we are linking to mouthpieces of dictatorships, why not the mouth piece of a german neo nazi group?

BTW Gautam Buddha is also the 9th avatar.
Seriously, you couldnt find a better place to link to thank xinhua, the mouthpiece of the chinese communist party?
of course marx, lennin, stalin and mao are great sources of knowledge..
you do realize Sidhartha Gautam is not the only Buddha right?

"Reflectivity Reaches a New Low"
Those scumbags. Worse than the RIAA and MS combined!
That must be why he allows indie artists and studios to sell their music on iTunes without DRM.
Oh wait, he doesn't.
wait, you are complaining about quality control?-Eric

i seem to recall WWII being a war for peace. odd.
