I'm a sucker for movies about smooth gangster types. I think they would make some wicked games too (obviously, kind of what GTA is). There need to be games loosely based on Reservoir Dogs, or The Usual Suspects, or even Killing Zoe (anyone else see that movie? Tarantino did a good job, I think). Heck, maybe I'll get lucky and they'll make a new movie for Tarantino's new movie, Kill Bill. Sorry, almost a shameless plug!
I think it's pretty well known that you can do damage to yourself playing golden tee. About ten minutes of hammering that ball on the drives will give almost anyone a wicked bruise. Luckily, thanks to many many many hours of bar time I've built up those rugged golden tee hands. But, I digress, the machines all have a speel written on them about inuries. I think that focuses on loose screws in the ball itself though, not punching through the screen (which I think I've been close to doing). I've always wondered if that warning is enough insurance for them. Could you sue after hurting yourself playing drunk golden tee?

"I wonder what the studios are going to do since that new Tomb Raider movie is coming soon and Im sure the quality of Angel of Darkness will affect the popularity of the movie as well."
Nah, I think you're deluding yourself a bit to think that game releases have that much to do with their movie releases. The Resident Evil movie was terrible when released, and the box office showed that, even though the game was still great. Same with the Final Fantasy movie, though that wasn't nearly as bad. There have been movies that have done well, despite horrible games released for them before the movie was in theatres.
Fact is, if the movie is good, people will go to see it. A popular background based on a computer game is just an added plus.
Still, I won't be wasting six bucks to stare at Angelina Jolie's chest for two hours, no matter if the game was ingenious or rubbish.

Thanks for posting that, just for the memories of the fatties and the skinnies in Ice Hockey on the NES. Wow, great memories... i loved that game.

Mario Kart, I think, could be a big hit for them, especially with the inclusion of the ability to hook two gamecubes together and play with 8 players on two screens. I know I'll be buying that. I love Mario Tennis, and they've had plans for a cube version of that, when it comes out it should sell well, though I doubt anyone besides me would be buying a cube just for it.

and all the comments from the farkers have been, "omg, lol, that is so c00l!!!11!.
Seriously, just because one website beats another to a story doesn't mean the website is better. I enjoy the comments on slashdot much more.

"SEGA's in trouble. They had a non-viable financial model for PSO (buy the game, get unlimited free online play). Every hour a player is online is expense without profit."
Yeah, cuz that worked so horribly for Blizzard. The free War3 I play online is just killing them I am sure. Free online play can make a company a ton of money. The concept is not hard, make a good game, and people will play, and pay good money for it.

Unlike the parent, I actually do enjoy Phish (actually, July 17th, Alpine Valley, I'll be there with my little bag of musical enhancement right beside me:) but I do understand that some people do just listen to Phish because it's "cool." There are other good jam bands, though, my favorite being Floydian Slip out of Wisconsin. Check them out.

Something tells me that Nintendo may have something to say about Acclaim still developing for the GBA if they cease all gamecube development. Acclaim has to be licensed, and Nintendo may just be a little bitter. But then again, rtfa, since Acclaim doesn't even say they will stop all future gamecube development, just that they will go on a game by game basis. As a gamecube owner, I couldn't care less, I don't think I own a single Acclaim game, nor did I see any in development that I had any interest in whatsoever.
There are no demos for the gamecube?! Walk into Wal-Mart, KMart, etc. and go to the electronics section. See that thing that all the kids are huddled around, those are your demo machines. Usually have a range of the better new games that are worth purchasing, so you can try them out. Heck, if you're nice enough (and preferably a decent looking girl) you can con that studly college kid working part time at KMart (yeah, that's me) into giving you an old demo disk or two, there are plenty thrown into our drawers on a monthly basis.

Yeah, because you know that the last ones have done so horribly for Eidos, they were just bleeding money after those. Now another Tomb Raider movie on the other hand... that may well bomb, even though the previews look much better than the last one. Still, I'm not wasting six bucks to stare at Angelina's chest for two hours... again.

He entered the witness protection program, as per the movie, but came out not too long ago (a few years?). He said since pretty much everyone out for him is dead, he doesn't feel much of a threat towards him. I think he's even written a book. Cashing in on crime, God bless America.
