Precisely; what happened to games like Banjo & Kazooie? If I get the urge to indulge my inner child, it sucks that we have to scrounge and hope to find a working copy of that game since devs don't make many good kid games of that level anymore.

I would like to add to that, if I may; Or, if you are fine with your seven year old child playing Call of Duty, teach them that video games are meant to be enjoyed as a sort of literature or to just have fun. That they're not made for escapism or to be an alternate reality. I'm not a psychopath or violent, yet have played GTA at 10 and a ton of insanely gory or violent games since then, and I think it may be because my parents actually acted like parents rather than like ignorant jack...

I've been playing Grand Theft Auto since I was nine and many other M rated games on a constant basis; I've only played a few Teen games in my 14 (nearly 15) years of gaming. Never raised a weapon at someone, never wanted or had the urge to go on a killing spree or to ravenously beat the shit out an individual. No criminal record, not even speeding or parking tickets. Graduate with honors and successful in my career.

Oh, but we're all anti-social, psychopathic, i...

God of War: Ascension (haven't played the other five games but they're in my backlog of unopened games).

Gears of War: Judgement (same as God of War, haven't played Gears 1-3 yet).

Last of Us
Tomb Raider
Metal Gear Rising
Grand Theft Auto V
Beyond: Two Souls
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Watch Dogs

So about $600 when it comes to base price; expecting to pay less since I'll...

Pretty much describes how I do it. If it is a quality game that deserves its price tag, I buy it used. If it is worth buying but I don't trust the game or company, I buy used at under $35. After several consecutive times of buying a high-quality (in my opinion, at least) product, that company becomes trusted. Meaning even new IPs will be bought used until I am significantly disappointed by drop in quality or crap corporate practices. Sort of like how Gamespot fired a reviewer for giving t...

The problem is, many places only have a Gamestop and many don't like buying online. I just moved to an area and found that the only place that sells used games is Gamestop with the closest competition being 150 miles away...what sucks more is that it is also the only place I would be able to find older games from PS2/XBox and back without driving to the polar opposite end of the state >_<

All of these suggestions can be easily countered with "manage your time better". It is very easy to be able to raise your child right without sacrificing their happiness, their health, or what you enjoy.

One day, your wife does everything while you game all day. Another day in the week, the role is reversed; you do everything while she games all day or does whatever she wishes. On a weekend, have the child stay at a friend's all day for a sleep-over so you and ...

Definitely true; my store got a ton of copies of FF13 in on release day. Barely sold any; come release day for FF13-2, we only got four XBox copies and around six or seven PS3 copies at most. We haven't seen one copy of that game come in beyond those ten release copies, despite them all being sold months ago.

He couldn't lift him because Tensai didn't help; every move that requires participation from both sides, otherwise it will either be botched (risking severe injury) or, in Ryback's situation, he move doesn't happen.

I will agree that Ryback should either go or get a better gimmick; being a Goldberg knockoff is crap lol.

@Hivemind.
Yeah, Australians are pretty badly ripped off; not to mention how the ratings board sucks. Didn't they ban Mortal Kombat and a few other games simply because it was violent due to the fact their Mature rating is 15+? (I live in the US)

I would argue that it is pretty hard to do anything nowadays without a job or two.

They already stated that none of the DLC is included.

4.5 million SHIPPED, meaning the number retailers got on release day was 4.5 million. This does not mean 4.5 million were sold so no, no congrats to be given until the "sold" numbers come out.

I must ask, which ones you thought were good. The only ones I enjoyed were Deus Ex and Sleeping Dogs.

You keep calling me a troll, even though anybody who knows what a troll is knows I'm not. I merely have a differing opinion; while I think the game alone deserves an 8, the series as a whole is feeling as though it is beginning to stagnate and that is why I agree with the score of a 6 in terms of the series as a whole. The fact that I've given real arguments and you've done nothing but call me a troll does nothing beyond exposing yourself to be exactly what you're claiming I a...

Haven't they sucked for a while now? If I recall correctly, they've fired people for being honest with their reviews.

@DarkHeroZX
Ignore Bloop, he is a clear Pokemon fanboy that tends to go after anyone who says anything negative about Pokemon regardless of how constructive the criticism is.

I'm a fan of Nintendo. Me calling you out on being immature in how you state your opinions is not trolling and doesn't mean I hate Nintendo.

You know what's lower? The fact he was so angry that, when he used his bubbles up, he had to create another profile to continue ranting. So pathetic lol.

Yeah, people wrongly accuse EA of not being innovative. I mean, look at the Madden series; look at how many of those are exactly like the previous game! If that isn't innovation, I don't know what is.

What an immature and childish reaction. Stating her opinion doesn't make her a troll, and she didn't state her opinion in a trollish manner. If you can't make an intelligent, mature counter-argument then you really shouldn't respond to other peoples' comments.
