• If more games were launched during the summer, would you play them?

  Fri Aug 14, 2009
  • There are some games that would do well no matter when you launch them; if you launched a Halo or Call of Duty in the middle of August, I would definitely buy them and play them. As it is, I've used summer months to catch up on winter blockbusters of years past, which have now dropped in price.

  • Oh, one more thing: probably the best thing you can do is try the game for free. If you have a Playstation 3, you should be able to download a demo. Try it out. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Vote with your wallet.

  • It sounds like the creators of Fat Princess made the game as a satirical send-up to traditional fairy tales. The movie "Shrek" did a similar thing and, as I recall, did not hurt anyone's feelings.

  • I will chime in with a "disagree" as well. Many retro games were longer merely because they looped after the game ended. For most arcade games, you saw everything there was to a game within 30 minutes. As to more challenging: yes, but this was a negative.

• Internet providers want to meter usage

  • No, tiered pricing is the cable company's attempt to force the consumer to keep paying for cable. Compare cable to the music industry. The music industry is suffering so much now because it failed to realize that consumers wanted the single, not the album.

• Will you continue to pay $60 for video games?

  Wed Feb 4, 2009
  • Out of the 4 new console games I purchased this holiday, only one was bought at full price. The other 3 were between 25 and 50% off. Had their price not dropped, I never would have gotten them. All 4 were big-budget, triple-A titles.
