Comment In: PS Vita Sales Nosedive As 3DS Sees Record Week [News - 12/28/2011 - 01:27]

The DS FPS games that ...

The DS FPS games that used touch were painful on my hands. I agree with this point as well and think it spells doom for the Kid Icarus reboot unless Nintendo decides to make it use the optional circle pad. I'd also add that the Stylus controlled DS Zelda's were ...

Comment In: Gamasutra's Best of 2011: Top 5 Handheld Games [News - 12/27/2011 - 08:29]

Pushmo is just so good. ...

Pushmo is just so good. Maybe the best game I've played this year. Zelda: OoT isn't mentioned in the list, probably because it is a port from yesteryear, but playing that game with the circle pad made it so clear to me why I love dedicated portable gaming systems. I ...

Comment In: The Worst Things To Happen To Games In 2011 (According To Analysts) [News - 12/20/2011 - 06:27]

Some good thoughts. I think ...

Some good thoughts. I think it is also comparable to the Atari 2600 days. Glut of content pushed prices down and eventually were a big part of the collapse. The rebuilding came through Nintendo's curated and controlling approach. Right now we have both open and controlling going on in the ...

Comment In: 3DS Outsells Vita In Debut Week, Though It Had An Advantage [News - 12/21/2011 - 01:12]

Notably the initial sales of ...

Notably the initial sales of the top-selling 3DS software first 2 days sold quite a bit better than the best of the Vita software. Professor Layton broke 100K units in the first 2 days of the 3DS launch and Nintendogs was 65K. I strongly believe the initial 3DS software was ...

Comment In: Report: iPhone, iPad Revenues Exceed Android Four, Two Fold [News - 12/20/2011 - 08:08]

There's lots of interesting information ...

There's lots of interesting information in this report which has different highlights around the web . A couple of other interesting points: - App downloads were flat on iPhone over the year which when combined with the increase in the number of apps means that there were less downloads of ...

Comment In: Indies: Your Players Are Not Your Audience [News - 12/21/2011 - 09:27]

I thought part of the ...

I thought part of the definition of indie was not making the game for someone else, especially a corporation platform holder . Maybe it's just the usage of indie that seems strange to me. It sounds like advice for small game studios, which I guess doesn't sound as cool as ...

Comment In: Gamasutra's Best Of 2011: Top 5 Console Downloadable Games [News - 12/21/2011 - 04:02]

I'm pretty sure Fluidity was ...

I'm pretty sure Fluidity was out too late last year to be considered, it should be at least an honorable mention this year. I'm guessing Pushmo currently rated above Mario Land 3D as the number one rated 3DS game on Metacritic 91 came out too late as well Otherwise it ...

Comment In: Gamasutra Best Of 2011: Top 5 Overlooked Games [News - 12/19/2011 - 12:23]

Playing through Rayman now, so ...

Playing through Rayman now, so far few hours I think it is very over-rated. It's good b/c of the co-op, and I really like the art, but the game play hasn't hooked me. It lacks the precision of NSMB Wii in controls and the empowering freedom of Mario's moves . ...

Comment In: Nintendo Limits 3DS Analog Stick Add-On To GameStop Stores Only [News - 12/13/2011 - 03:18]

I think this has to ...

I think this has to do with the target for the device. This is an accessory that isn't required, but one that core gamers are likely to want. Core gamers are more likely to buy at GameStop than at Target/Walmart/etc. So it makes a lot of sense that the device, ...

Comment In: Tetris Enters The Subscription Age With New iOS Version [News - 12/01/2011 - 03:36]

It's cheaper to get Tetris on the 3DS .
