There is the built-in wireless you can use in person. If you and a friend are physically in a room next to each other (or a room near each other) you can play together. You don't need a router. My coworkers and I played a few rounds of mad eight-player Mario Kart that way. Under good conditions we c...

They also did keep Jack's last name as "Van Burace" -- not sure if it's because the translator this time had no idea what a vambrace was (heck, I don't know either), or if they were trying to keep it consistent with the original. It's the piece of armor that goes around the forearm in a suit of arm...

Well, if you're looking for a straight artbook scan with a white background you won't find it. That could be part of the problem. But it would be very easy to edit out the little things that would otherwise get in the way (like the red line that runs behind her neck and the box with her name in that...

That said, if you're a fan of the original, you'll love it. If you're a general RPG fan who likes a good story, you should also like it, though maybe not as much. Admittedly, I am a big fan of the original, so that biases my review a bit. What if you didn't like the original but are wondering if yo...

I dislike comparing HPs of one game to HPs of another because the game systems are not identical. For a gross comparision, it's like saying all the characters in FF7 are stronger than anyone in EB because they have thousands of HP and do thousands of damage. They're not stronger. It's just a differe...

I agree with Pisces about the Father Christmas thing. It's something that would seem very strange to me if I had been introduced to it as an adult, but was the most natural thing as a child. The White Witch was keeping out Christmas, so of course the surest sign that she was losing her hold on Narni...

console companies make lousy pc software developers. the opposite is true as well. working on either platform is just a completely different experience. Depends. I think Bioware did fine with KOTOR and that was both console and PC. I'm not a big PC gamer, but I imagine there are probably a few othe...

BoF1 was great for what it was and given the competition at the time. Even playing it on the GBA (I never played the original) I liked it better than BoF2, partially because it was more save-point friendly and partially because it's simplified story prevented me from having WTF moments. BoF2 had a m...

The series is perfectly enjoyable without having ever noticed a lick of religious imagery. I read the entire series as a ten-year-old without ever having been the wiser. It wasn't until college when someone pointed out the religious imagery to me that I was able to find it. Up until then it was just...

Sony seemed to treat publishers differently based on how much money was thrown their way though. I've heard that Konami and Capcom have gotten some of their games out because they're much bigger publishers. WD just isn't big enough to influence Sony's decisions like a Konami or Capcom could. Money ...

What happened to Working Designs wasn't unexpected, though it is something of a misfortune. Despite the best of intentions, it's still a business world out there and the marketplace can be an unforgiving beast. I wouldn't pin the blame on Sony really any more than I'd pin the blame on Sega back in t...

The bigger a company gets, the more they have a tendency to stick to what works instead of risking something new, even though the payoff might be worth it. Does that carry over to the video game industry as well? KF With multi-million dollar budgets looming for the next generation of games? Heck ye...

That's too bad your teacher doesn't want to see it. I haven't seen the movie yet either, but what I like about Narnia (the books) is that it appeals to all children whether they are Christian or not. You don't have to be Christian to enjoy it, and if you are, so much the better. They made sure not t...

Maria refers to the Blue Spire as the "Blue Sprite." I'm assuming that's a typo? By the way, I know you're trying to replicate that RPG feel, but I think it may be worth considering cutting down the amount of time the characters spend doing nothing but walking. At one point I was watching 4-5 screen...

Started Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life. It was going to be a return to either Disgaea or a beginning of Digital Devil Saga, but my brother ran off with my PS2 memory card so he could use our custom Soul Caliber III characters against his friend when I got the hankering to start something... so...

You cheater! Well, I guess I find out later--or not. ^^ War of the Spider Queen sounds interesting from the author interviews I've read about it, but since it's been written by six different authors taking turns with the same characters I'm a little concerned of how well the continuity holds. I read...
