Last time I thought about a Soccer game was when looking up Level-5 and seeing the Inazuma series. They are both a sports game and a RPG. How they do that, I don't know. There's also a manga that goes along with it, so there's a story to each game as well. I'm not possitive but it seems none of these games have made it to the U.S., being only available in Japan and Europe. If anything would get me into a Soccer game it would be Level-5 and RPG gameplay.

I haven't finished any of them yet myself, but this time, I'm gonna play one to the finish.

Oh yea, Steam. I might do that. It would look cool on an iPad though.

Gearheads rejoice in BTO's 1974 hit "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet". Man look at that 70's look and that hot Gibson SG guitar!

Couldn't you hook up a USB keyboard to the PS3 and use that?

Get well soon.

There are so many interesting games this generation. My lists of must-have games goes back all the way to the end of time, and the list gets bigger and bigger as I get closer to the present day - this year being the biggest of all.

I think you nailed all the main points about why a lot of games in that generation were so difficult. I always think of the arcade machine connection; that designers were still stuck thinking they had to make games tough to keep you putting in quarters, even though they didn't have to anymore.

I'm trying to think of difficult games in the Atari generation, but I can't really think of any. Not like Ninja Gaiden anyway.

It would be interesting to read a book like Racing the Beam (about programming for the Atari 2600) for the NES or Genesis.

The oldest trailer on youtube is 3 months ago, so I guess it was anounced in August. There was a playable demo at PAX Prime that month as well.

Oh man do I want an iPad so I can play this!

Sorry to hear that. Get well soon. You've got gamin' to do.
