PixlBit

I have only played the PSP version, but man this is one of my favorite games of all time.  I was playing it just a few weeks ago.  It never gets old. 

that's some phone.  I remember rocking the flip phones.  ah, how satisfying it was to flip them open and closed.  Those were the days!

whoa never heard of Sumioni.  Looks pretty. 

that artist was a BIG part of my imagination growing up, and when I looked through my D&D books a couple months ago, I still revelled in the interior art.  He conjured up worlds and really inspired us to come up with our own adventures.  I never knew his name, or knew who he was, but I really respect his work and the work of all the other artists who put their stuff in Dragon Magazine and campaign sourcebooks during the heyday of RPG's. 

yeah I feel the same way.  I'm not going to put my full trust or get emotionally involved with any of these companies, because they certainly don't care about or trust me.  I'd be happy to have the new Xbox, and I'd be happy to have the PS4.  Eventually, I hope to have both. 

I feel the same way you do about the Kinect.  It should have been optional.  I understand what Microsoft is trying to do, and get a leg up in the living room, but I think they're depending on the wrong tech. I don't know how people in the future will interact with their tv's /main computer/entertainment system, but it's not going to be Kinect, despite some of its advantages.  I'm curious to see Amazon's coming set top box and see what they do.  I know Valve isn't really in that market, but I look at how they're trying to innovate with their controller, and I respect that.  It's going to take new ideas to tackle that sort of interface, and I feel the Kinect and motion controls are old ideas now.  But who knows, I could be wrong! 

yeah I'm really excited about it too.  Dammit, sci fi novels promised me VR, and I'm gonna get it! 

Like you said, it's not here to take away from other types of gaming, it's just a new, different thing.  We have COD on this side, and we have Flappy bird over here, and now we have VR and they can all get along fine. 

I agree.  But I don't think it will really take off for some years yet, and not in its current iteration. 

I use the term Xbone because it's easy to write.  I'm lazy. it is used by people who are not fanboys.  it only offends fanboys. 

Ps4 exclusives are pretty bare, but if I compare xbox 360 to ps3, sony has a better track record of making exclusives I like.  Sony has built up more goodwill with me on that and other reasons, so that's why I lean towards them.  I would love to play TItanfall, but it's not enough for me to buy a system, let alone the game itself as I am sick of military/scifi shooters in general. 

Microsoft pisses us off daily in this house with Windows 8.  It is not a  brand we love.  That being said the past two xboxes have been good machines.  But I don't need or want a kinect. 

But honestly, I bought a Wii U for xmas instead of either of these machines and was very happy. 

oh yeah....  thanks!

that IS a lot of Xbone games.  I envision picking one up eventually, but I think i will get a PS4 first.
