Theres no hypocracy IMO.The Wii is seen as a family friendly console, and a game that calls for two gals going at it (among other things) doesnt fit the template.
Im sure the marketing execs felt that the potential sales of it here wouldnt outweigh the bad publicity.
I wouldnt want my daughter playing it.Or my 12 year old niece. But I have nothing against adults enjoying it.Hell, with the right crowd I wouldnt mind playing it myself!

Well its certainly been the Kinect title we have played the most.Its alot of fun.
Kind of off topic but the Kinect works really well as a alternative to using the headset too.10 feet from the TV and it hears me talking in a normal voice.

Yeah. take Left 4 Dead 2 for example.Single player on it is 5 hours tops technically. But the replayabilty in multiplayer is where the game shines.

ugo, are you trying to make some sort of accusation that Car and Driver has a bias against Japanese products? The same Car and Driver that loves Honda's so much, you would swear they own stock in the company??
Case in point.Heres the Honda's that have made their "10 Best" list (not counting 2011):

Accord 24 times (1983-’91, ’94-’95, 1998-2010)

Civic 5 times (1988-’91, 1996)

CRX 2 times (19...

Its only getting attention in the "videogame circles".You know, people already aware of the ratings systems,visits sites like this,etc.
The channel isnt talking about it,theres nothing on the scroll popping up every two minutes warning anyone about it.O'Reilly or Beck isnt devoting a 15 minute segment on it on their shows.
Nope.Its just a opinion piece thats being blown out of proportion even more because of misleading/untrue headlines like..I dunno..."FOX...

Well said UP.
One less 10 year old with a headset I have to listen to/ play with online suits me just fine.
Speaking of which.
Forget game ratings for a second.They dont do any good if you let junior play even a "E" rated game unsupervised online.... with strangers from god knows where.

Ehh.Saying Portal 2 is Valve's best game ever seems a bit scripted and self promoting. Considering its their next big game coming out, its like he HAS to pick Portal 2.
Dont get me wrong though, i'm a big fan of Valve games.

Its not a gimmick if it motivates you to keep jumping and punching.Its boring to just jump around.That would get old quick. Making it more interactive and fun increases the probabilty you will continue to excercise.

And...what point do you think hes trying to make? That he can blurt out a ignorant statement based not on ANY facts, but rather his desire to finger point at Fox News and talk radio? So he proved hes clueless on the subject IMO.

As for Fox being a "respected media giant"? Guess it is considering Obama just did a interview with them and im sure hes a HUGE Fox fan ;)

But more on topic.Why would anyone CARE if a news channel feels the need to infor...

Sorry..He read Hitler's book Mein Kampf who was a socialist.He was also fond of the Communist Manefesto. Former friends interviewed refered to him as being a "far left guy". Need links????

Are you refering to the guy who shot U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords last month? If so, do yourself a favor and find out the truth before making assumptions.Even the mainstream media dropped that angle like a hotplate when they discovered he was a far left wackjob....Who..uhh didnt watch ANY televised news or talk radio.

Picking a side is easy if you ignore all the sideline issues. You want a bigger goverment or a smaller one? The only thing in the middle is how much or how little your comfortable accepting. People who act like victims stuck in the middle I find pathetic.At least a hardcore liberal is principaled. Its a cop out to not take a stance on anything. You will never read a book about the great "moderates" and their accomplishments.

So we agree it was supposed to be filed...

Please spare me the many shades of gray speech concerning the authors political ideology.News has been manipulated by politics forever.The spin of our current "leader" the media throws out on say...unemployment numbers compared to when Bush was in where they took genuine positive figures and tried to add "but,but,but" every chance they had is striking.
If you find another news source more to your liking, its probably because they share more of your views. The hat...

That would be the scenario im in. Last time we "upgraded" PC's, I went with his/hers laptops. I would have to factor in a OS,monitor,etc....
Would still be well south of a grand though.

Having a game console signed by Palin is like having a die cast Nascar signed by Tiger Woods or Reese Weatherspoon.
I dont see the point and the price is beyond rediculous.

Why isnt this labeled a opinion piece? Obviously the author is a liberal and I could care less what his/her opinion of Bill O' Reilly or Fox News is because its predisposed to be unfair.
O'Reilly's show is a "opinion piece" too.

That and the writer of this and the Fox piece actually are in agreement for alot of it.

Everyone here is a videogame fan,aware of rating systems,etc.
Articles like this are made because alot of mommys and daddies ARE NOT. They may know that you dont take junior to a rated R movie, but assume video games are "toys" and ignore the "M" rating on a game.
Is the article sensationilized a bit with "experts" saying you kid may become a axe murderer if they play it? Yes. But the bottom line is kids shouldnt be exposed to adult material any...

I didnt know that. We have a Goldstar microwave i bought in the 90's that still works great. I use it at work now.

Yeah I dont get the unfounded hate.If you dont like it,why bother commenting on it in a Kinect thread?
We threw a "Kinect party" for my daughter Saturday on her birthday.Friends/family and such.
Sunday, two familes that were there went out and bought a 250GB Kinect bundle.
