The original Xbox did have a nasty habit of bursting into flames. They fixed it pretty quick, though.

Well there are only so many ways these things can look. You've got a screen, some buttons and...well that's it. They could have made it flip style like the Advance SP or DS, but then they'd be accused of copying those handhelds.

Eh? Backstab?

I'm pretty sure the old red A was for adultress, not atheist. Of course I'm basing this on that old Demi Moore movie which I saw when I was like 10.

Edit: Ahhh...but that particular A is the one Richard Dawkins is encouraging like minded atheists use as their symbol. Google ftw.

Lol. I hope I'm not the only one who was dumb enough to expect a bunch of acoustic or "unplugged" songs.

Spiderman 2? Sssh. This is N4G. We're supposed to hate everything Treyarch touches, remember?

Actually coming from Eurogamer that's not bad at all. Those guys seem to hate everything.

He's also in his own series of games plus Mario Strikers, Mario Golf, Mario Baseball, etc, etc.

I would have preferred to box Wario.

I'm not a fan of the guy's show by any means, but it is kind of refreshing to see someone who's excited about games rather than just panning everything he sees to be cool. There's plenty of negativity out there if that's what you're looking for.

Lol. Yeah, they should probably hold off on that one for at least 1 more console generation. I'm of the mind that anything made after the SNES/Genesis era is still a bit too young to be remade.

It wasn't "too hardcore". It was poorly advertised. It also relied too heavily on a slew of arcade ports (great for quick gaming fixes), but failed to deliver a wide variety of games like Sony was offering at the time.

They also dropped the ball on securing third party support once the PS2 showed up. Nobody to blame for that but Sega.

Anyway, cool looking controller designs there, but I'm sort of a traditionalist. The old school DC controller was fine, ...

Well Take-Two gave them truckloads of money at least twice so that "self funded" nonsense is just crap. The first time they paid out $12 million, then the second time they paid out "an undisclosed sum". You can be sure both times 3DR would have assured them that the funds would be more than enough to complete the game.

Take-Two obtained the publishing rights in 2000. After 9 years waiting and over $12 million invested, I'd say they made a good decision by...

Lol. Stupid Dell.

For what it's worth, they responded pretty quickly to the criticism. Here's the page this article refers to:

As you can see it's undergone some pretty substantial changes. The "tech tips" section where most of the offensive wordplay originally appeared has been retooled.

1. For what it's worth, lots of people have been b!tching about the lack of PSN cards for a damned long time now. Besides, Sony haven't announced anything officially, so if anything, it would be illogical to just let it slide at this point because one guy on a forum says they're coming in a week. Not that I don't believe you, but this is the first I've heard of it. And you gotta admit, 3 years is a bit much.

2. No, I don't expect Sony to have a magic wand or anything, but wh...

1. End of May? So like 2 years after the PS3 launched? Or is it closer to 3 now? Even Nintendo with their useless online service managed to get wii points out at or around their console's launch.

2. Just because everyone else screwed Canada over doesn't make it cool for Sony to do the same. If I gave a damn about iTunes and Xbox Live I would have been upset about those delays too.

3. Okay, I'll give ya that one. I'm pretty sure Rogers bought out Sprint in Can...

@Isujester: You're right about Apogee, LLC. Just saw this over at Shacknews:

"Apogee Software, Ltd is the official title of 3D Realms. The company abandoned the Apogee name in 1996 in favor of the 3D-oriented title. Apogee Software, LLC, an external publisher established in 2008, remains in operation."

You still gotta wonder what happens with the IP now. 3DRealms won't have the money to pay off Take Two if they lose the case (and I suspect they will), bu...

Maybe, but Take Two already gave them a boat load of money in 2000, then another boat load of money in 2007 and they never got anything to show for it. When you look at it like that, it's entirely fair that Take Two should refuse to give them any more cash and it's hardly being "selfish" on their part to expect some compensation for their millions of dollars invested already.

Now since 3DR has gone out of business, Take Two must know they won't have the money to pay th...
