If, by the end of the month, anyone who owns a 360 doesn't have Ghost Recon Advanced Warfigher, they are obligated to raise their hand when someone asks, 'Who here has had their head stuck in a hole?'. I am in no way a GR fanboy from the past, but this game really *is* next gen, and the buzz behind it is just starting and will be huge.
I know a child psychologist working in this field. His research is pointing to something interesting, yet not earthshattering: children who play violent games outside the pervue of their parents *do* show a propensity for violent behavior. The flipside is that kids playing violent games *with* their parent's cursory involvement *do not*. This guy was ready to throw the book at games altogether, so the studies he's running came as quite the surprise, naturally.
Greed on the part of publishers will sink any and all device makers, no matter how good the hardware is. They smell one thing and one thing only: HUGE MARGINS. Let's see: no dead trees, no printing plants, no distributors, no brick-and-morter stores and we're STILL going to charge retail price for the IP.

No, no, no, no, no.
