1) Starcraft port 2) Quake II or III port featuring online play 3) A new Donkey Kong Country a la NSMB 4) 2D NBSB style Metroid game (agree in that with the article) 5) Warcraft II or original Command and Conquer port
After reading the comments of this thread you may want to know what we developing countries think about your local currency (At least Argentina and Brasil). Well, we both love and hate it. The American Dollar it's stronger than gold. Back in late 2001 when all went to shit over here and the peso devalued people would buy dollars for their own protection against clouded economy and inflation. Even now when things are much better in both countries house's prices are still in dollars, you can say that most people prefer them than even Euros that are more expensive. The bad thing is that the dollar bill it's to easy to falsify, damage and counterfeit it. Also the current dollar / peso conversion it's not government regulated, so if after a terrorist attack, crisis or catastrophe enough people buy dollars from banks inflation with boost like shit in less than 48hs. It should be good news for you though, Tourists rejoice cheap prices and even investing in Patagonia's properties and lands (Donald Trump has a few). We can't complain, tourism and exports thanks to devaluation really got our country back in orbit.
He may still be a little angry towards Nintendo because of Wolfenstein 3d for SNES. Id Software had to remove blood, Nazi stuff and more in order to port the game. I still remember he said he will never port a game to a Nintendo platform again, but then again Quake and QuakeII eventually got released for N64.
You have Pr0n, cheaper hardware and blank media than Blu-ray and now you can "backup" movies, HD-DVD will be the winner of the HD format war, at least here in Argentina, Brazil or other developing countrys where piracy reigns...
Home Power magazine's website it's a great place to start. You can download free PDF files with practical information about solar power generators for home use.
I don't even live in America, but a week ago I re-opened an US Amazon account just for this promo. Even considering shipping and customs (no less than 100 dollars I think) It was a hell of a deal... Oh, after that, I browsed around the site and bought "World War Z" and planning to buy "I am legend",
I'm a hardcore Nintendo fan. I bought a Gamecube back in 2003 and I think it's a great system, far superior than Sony PS2 in every aspect (exept online playing). The problem is that there are not enough games for it. This year the only decent game I would get it's Splinter Cell Double Agent, but I'm getting the PC version for obvious reasons. On the other side PS2 has Bully and dozens of fresh titles. I could get a PS2 (Windows in this analogy), money it's not a problem, but I refuse to support Sony (Microsoft) and greedy developers cough*EA*cough, so while my Gamecube collects dust I'm sticking to my DS and wainting for Wii.
If you are the sort of people who only needs 4 or 5 hours of sleep then you won't live long. Next time you visit your doctor the first thing he is gonna ask you it's if you are sleeping 8 hours.
Despite his recent directed movies, Lucas is a great executive producer (Remember Indiana Jones). TV mostly sucks this days and I prefer to give Lucas a chance instead of suffering another Fox/E!/MTV reality show/comedy. Even if all goes to shit we can always flame his work here on/.
_ Stop being so restrictive with homebrew projects, just look away like Nintendo does. _ Release a PC/Mac UMD reader and writer and a Dual DVD-UMD player for the living room. _ Sell cheap blank media ($2 a writable disc). _ Sell your current UMD movie stock for $5 each. Include them with Sony DVD releases for free. _ Larger battery life. _ Learn from Nintendo. Touchscreen it's the solution.
Anyway I don't expect anything from Sony these days. I will just watch them crash and burn.
I won't be able to get it before 2007 anyway. Demand will be huge and even people who lives in USA and preorder it may not get it before Christmas (Remember Xbox 360, that cost twice as much). On the other hand, Wiimote's innovative gameplay and the training complex games will demand may be enough for you to ignore online playing, at least for a few months.
I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have a DS and I play online a lot. It is easy for me to find and open and unsecured hotspot in this city and when I play Mario Kart or Metroid, I dont have to input and username, password or credit card information. Online playing it's completely anonymous, fast and free, yet astounding fun. Why can't EA learn from Nintendo?
Kingpin: Life of Crime was a disturbing game back in the late nineties. I really should check it out again, but I remember it had cool melee weapons and gore.

A true sequel to Flashback, Myst series, Civilization like games, Starcraft 2, etc
I am the only one who left his computer on during the night downloading "things" with Utorrent?
If true, it's still a good deal
They are not made in America... Their main factory may be in China, Malasia or Taiwan

"I'm not at all saying that there weren't good games made for the N64...but rather, the amount of "must-own" games was tragically small."
Sadly, the same thing happened with Gamecube
Good luck trying to explain this to Sony Corporation...
