But it looks like you have no problems with me claiming that SMG2 >>> LBP2, right?

Hard to compare. One is a pure game, probably will be the perfect platformer. The other is about giving everyone the tools to make what they want, share it with others and even play with others. It offers a lot more but it is not really a focused game experience. Its like that question about which game you would take if you were stuck on an island, I would take LBP2 cause the possibilities are endless, that is not to say its better than Mario.

What's up with all these Lost gifs!

Probably because Lost is awesome. . .

Sin & Punishment 2 is a dream game.  For me it stands for all that is great about gaming.  Past, present and future!

So, having said that, it is in your best interest to purchase a copy of the game ... like now.  Failure to do so will force me to take down your names and hand them to Iga who will then promptly proceed to deal some serious justice ...

You've been warned.

I've tried quite a few Treasure games in my time. The only one I really liked was gba's Astro Boy. Oh and Guardian Heroes.

I don't really like N64 Sin and Punishment using a stick to control the reticule and convoluted controls for everything else. I wouldn't even consider S&P2 if it didn't have IR aiming. Really the reviews have suprised me for this game as it wasn't even on my radar. Now it's a sort of maybe.

Of Treasure's games I've tried Dynamite Headdy, Astroboy, at least one Japanese N64 game that was not released in the west, Stretch Panic and Gunstar and I can see and enjoy the love that have been put into the games, but after the first hour or so I hit the difficulty wall and have to give up.  I just don't bleed that NES hardcore blood where one tries endlessly against a boss or obstacle for more than an hour (though that may be changing I did that in Mirror's Edge yesterday).

Iwata says that the 3D functionality on the 3DS can be turned off.

Um...what?

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3179192

So the 3D on the 3DS won't be just a gimmick like that one quirky psuedo-3D Japanese game for the DS where you tilt the room around.

Now I'm really interested to see how the 3DS works.

Sweet!  Probably to save battery and also allow better graphics in games that don;t use it (as per Geek's previous point about the 3D gulping processing power).

All I wanted was an up-armored DS (and actually I did not want that for a few more years).

Also, been looking at more of those Wii trinity JRPGs, if you call it: Monado, Last Story, and Xenoblade.

I really hope NOA brings those over here. Reggie and NOA's marketing team better not think that there's no market for it here and don't care about bringing it over.

I'd be pretty pissed and throw my Wii out the window!

There are no three games.

Monado is Xenoblade. Xenoblade is Monado. Finkle is Einhorn.

I don;t really see movies, but I saw the trailer for it on TV and it looked like a pretty amazing action film (that scene with the old dude with the steel whips).

Mickey Rourke isn't that old, his face just looks like it's been through a ton of shit and it probably has.

That's right, Mickey Rourke.  I can guarantee that there have been days in his life where he has done more illicit things than I've done in my entire life.  And that makes me sad.

Mickey was actually the victim of some bad plastic surgery. Victim may be too strong of a word, but essentially that's what happened to his face.  Not to say he hasn't partied it up a bit, but the before and after shots of his surgery show you what can go wrong.  A similiar thing happened to Bruce Jenner and more recently to Priscilla Presely.

Gameinformer review scores

Red Dead Revolver: 9.75
Lost Planet 2: 8.5
Split Second: 8.25
Skate 3: 8.75
Iron Man 2: 6
Alan Wake: 8.5
ModNation Racers: 8.5
Super Mario Galaxy 2: 9.25
Monster Hunter Tri: 7
Trauma Team: 8

Red Dead a 9.75, hmmm.

Monster Hunter a 7, yikes.

Mario Galaxy 2 only a 9.25, thats criminal.

It's Game Informer though, reverse of EDGE.  They pump up scores on what they think will sell in their GameStop locations.  Note also that the Australian version of Game Informer gave Monster Hunter Tri a 9.
