As a gamer. That's what I care about.

Mobile gaming has nothing but simplified versions of REAL games found on actual gaming systems and $1 mini-games. There are higher production games that suffer due to the controls or are simply mediocre clones.

Think of all the Sony/Nintendo and good third-party games I'd be missing.

A game website that's so unsupportive of gaming handhelds and prefers phones hardly deserves any hits from me.

@bellow:

Not a very good first impression.

... specially if that handheld is a High Definition device that can output HD video content on any flat panel monitor. It is so powerful it can replace a home console both in game play controls and graphics.

I sure do hope the PS Vita have a HD out put of some sort its the only lacking feature that keeps from owning the PS3 and 360.

I'd disagree for two reasons.

A) the term "real gamer" no longer applies to anything, as the industry has too many facets.

B) The majority of people who own a handheld lock it away in a cupboard for the better part of the year. It only sees the light of day for a long journey (or the days immediately after a high profile release)

Honestly, I haven't got enough room in my pocket for my Phone, my keys, wallet, a seperate MP3 player and a seperate console. I want it all in a neat package, and that package is my smartphone.

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
