  6. Sony PSP - Breakthrough tech?!? on Spike TV Video Game Award Winners · · Score: 2, Insightful

    BEST BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY
    Sony PSP (Sony Computer Entertainment America)
    Xbox 360 (Microsoft Game Studios)
    Nintendogs Voice Recognition (Nintendo Co. Ltd.)
    Unreal Engine 3 (Epic Games Inc.)
    Facial Mo-cap of NBA Live 06 (Electronic Arts)

    I don't see how a smaller version of existing technology can be counted as breakthrough, when compared to innovations in tech, such as the nintendo voice recognition, or the facial imaging software, or even the stunning UE3.

    I reccomend voting with our wallets, and not purchasing Sony/BMG products. Also see here

  13. I don't understand.. on Malaysia Gamers Face Night Curfew · · Score: 1

    why governments are so intent to control video gaming culture? would you ban people from watching films after a certain time? how about listening to music after midnight? it's all about control.

  23. Re:Price Point on Software PVRs Becoming Tivo Killers · · Score: 1

    Who says it won't be up 24/7? Also your price comparison is unfair, you did not include monthly fees for TIVO, and also $1,000 seems a bit high spec, i'm sure it could be built for cheaper.

  24. Soo, they don't want to go? on The Numerous Problems With E3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fine, I bet there are thousands of people willing to take their place.

  25. Ha I Wish on Interest in Console Gaming on the Decline · · Score: 1

    I read your comment with interest, but sadly that will not happen. Here's why:
    The media hates Nintendo. I don't know why, I don't pretend to know why, but they do, read almost any mainstream news outlet's report on Nintendo and it's always "child focused", or "younger gamer".
    Secondly, the public (UK, but probably US as well) see Nintendo as that. As part of my community enrichment project at school, I tried to organise a GCN tournament of Soul Calibur 2. It bombed, everytime I brought the subject up, I was *laughed at*. Despite the fact that the game is a 15+ and is a multi-format game, my peers seemed to think that playing on a Nintendo console would make them somehow less mature, or less "manly".
    Nintendo has no problems whatsoever with technology or development. Nintendo has a problem with perception
