Seriously though, I wonder what Itagaki feels about Bayonetta.

I know he hates DMC and thinks he's God's greatest gift to action game design.

Well, sorry to burst his bubble but Bayonetta blows away Ninja Gaiden II above and beyond!

Ninja Gaiden 1 on the other hand was great though. Better than Bayonetta? Hmm....that's arguable.

I feel bad for her, though. Here she is, a hot woman that's awake a 3am. All she's wanting is a little somethin' somethin' in the dark, but her man's out playing with his joystick on the couch. She has every right to be pissed!

You feel bad for her because she's attractive?  Aside from the videogame playing, just the guy's few sentences, if you can call them that, you can clearly see he's an obnoxious moronic ass.  She's not only a ditz for dating him in the first place, but for having an insane reaction, thinking that would change anything, being so absurdly sporadic as to just suddenly burst over something she knew was the case.

In short, they're societal trash made for each other.

I was joking.

Noted.

Nobody goes to a real arcade anymore, but Microsoft is betting old-school players will be happy to spend time in the virtual arcade. This spring, the company plans to launch Game Room, a new downloadable for Xbox Live and PC in which enthusiasts will be able to take their avatars into a four-story arcade complete with authentic cabinets and perfect emulation. So if you grew up on Atari and Intellivision and would rather play Centipede than Gears of War, prepare to be blown away.

That's me!

At its core, Game Room is just a hub to play the classics, which remain untouched -- no upgrades, no differences. Microsoft has not tampered with or enhanced any of these titles, merely emulated them. Inevitably, you will be able to sort through hundreds upon hundreds of yesteryear's hits from the likes of Atari, Activision, Intellivision, Konami and more.

You'll be able to play every game in the arcade for free -- once. Afterward, you'll have to buy them for $3 a pop. And if you own both a PC and Xbox 360, you can spend $5 to purchase the titles for both platforms.

W00t!! I hate some of those so-called graphically "upgraded" XBLA games.

Yeah, I'm totally willing to pay $3 each. Nintendo's VC Arcade costs between $5-8 each, which is rather ridiculous, IMO, and there isn't much to choose from either. I hope my PC can run the Game Room software; I'd much rather play retro arcade games on my laptop than my tiny 20" SDTV from across the room.

There's no list yet that I've seen. I'm sure M$ is still working out the details on that. So far, the only games listed as coming out this Spring are Asteroids Deluxe, Scramble, Centipede, Tempest and Astrosmash., but there will be 25 others at launch too.
