I would like to see how that study was done - it seems normal to me that someone who plays a violent game will have an adrenaline rush that someone who plays golf won't get - thus it would make sense that the adrenaline filled player is more tolerant to pain than the golf player...
You can never kill enough of them! What I'm looking for in a zombie game is the potential of killing them creatively (à la "zombie kill of the week" in Zombieland) - that's what keeps the genre fresh and fun!
My favourite quote:
"Poulterer, who has a master’s degree in counseling from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, said dopamine in the brain is released when we do something that feels good. That type of feeling is associated with video games."
So... Anything that feels good is potentially addictive? And the solution would be to only do things that you hate doing? Get real.
How dare you put Chrono Cross on that list!
sometimes I worry that reviewers are too young (although I'm not sure how old the guy is) - I can see why reviewers from the new generation may not appreciate 8-bit games and the such, when all they've known are current or previous gen games. Having personally known and played first gen games like pong, atari, coleco and the such, I can still appreciate 8-bit (or less) games and enjoy remakes like this one, even if just for the sake of nostalgia... Which feeling is obviously not sha...
...or did too many drugs and is now irreversibly brain damaged?
I'm just worried about being locked out of the cloud, i.e. if I chose not to renew my plus or if I din't have access to the internet for some reason... Remember, the end of the world is in barely 3 months!
But thanks you Sony, for listening to us.
Can't wait to get my hands on this one.
Next... the 3DS!
Finally! My Plus subscription is getting me something I'm interested in and I don't have for free!!
No offense, but Lightning, IMO, is one of the most boring main characters ever seen in an FF game. Give me Cloud! Give me Squall!
Awwwwwwwwww... That girl is a keeper.
Funny, I never liked Mortal Kombat when I was younger - I've grown up Street Fighter all the way. Although, in recent years, I've made DOA my favourite fighting game. Great character balance and the rock/paper/scissors approach allows you to get out of any situation (like the combo breaker from Killer Instinct - I wish they would make a sequel to that game...)
The japanese name for Streets of Rage is Bare Knuckle: Ikari no Tekken - I agree with you though, sales for that game should not be included in the total, but I'm pretty sure Tekken would still be on top.
So long as she was finished with the laundry and the dishwashing...
If that's not an article looking for hits, I don't know what is...
Seriously. You'd rather not have a sequel because you don't like the guy in charge?
Well... Too bad for you. I can't wait for the sequel.
I'll never know why so many people didn't like the first one (I'm probably just a zombie fanboy). Sure, a few things need to be fixed, but it's still one of the best zombie games on the market (although Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead are probably far ahead). I, for one, can't wait to play the sequel.
It's too bad that some people only remember Bethesda as the company that delivers broken games. In truth, their games have the biggest, richest and most complex worlds ever brought to the game community. I forgive them the occasional glitches, given that the overall experience is always very satisfying. I do hope they'll be able to fix that issue soon...
You can get most of these games on psn at $10 a pop - this bundle can't be worth more than $130-$200 (artwork, etc)...
SONY!!! WILL YOU STOP MAKING PROMISES THAT YOU CAN'T KEEP?
Sorry for the caps.
