Alright they have been pulled. The links aren't necessary. The images were mere spice.

Just curious, but are you hotlinking those from someone else's server? If so, would you mind just setting up links and sourcing the main sites that you're linking those images from? I know most people don't realize it, but that really does tax bandwidth for some sites. I know tons of people hotlink...

Yeah the original was pretty good. It was slow in some places and the voices can get irritating, but it was fun.

This game is going to be better. MUCH better. It's a prequel to the original so you don't need to play both.

Where's the Lost in Blue love? Lunar Dragon Song is a little below average. It picked up three fourths of the way, but then the ending sent it spiraling down again. A number of the gameplay mechanics were unnecessary and the story is forgettable, though the Four Dragons stuff was a tad interesting. ...

I have trouble getting into this game. The battle system isn't much fun and the encounter rate is high. Dungeons are too old school for my tastes as well. I'll probably start over and give the game another shot once I clear away the new games I just got.

Screen is just as big, brighter, and the colors stand out. Battery life is improved immensely, and the system is lighter, smaller, and very sleek. I dig it.

I bought Lunar Legends, Metroid Zero Mission, and Trace Memory to kick it off. Good stuff.

The rest of what your saying that's valid is common sense, and doesn't really hint at why you'd go far enough to say you 'agree' with anything Thompson says. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Thompson says that video games are corrupting young minds-- he dubs some games as murder simulators. Do you thin...

Rosa, I wasn't attempting to pin-point any specific person as being "brainwashed." I believe I threw the word out correctly, and I had every privalege in doing so.

Don't be brainwashed my ass. You know, I could care less if you think Thompson has a good cause. The man is a sociopath. He compares his enemies to nazis and particularly highpowered enemies to Hitler. He thinks Sony and Take 2 releasing GTA is the equivalent of Pearl F u cking Harbor. He wants kid...

Yes, I did write a story for an English class that was ment to make Sony and Microsoft's consoles (at the time) look evil. Huge debates about the three video game consoles were being thrown around my school a little before the eve of GameCube and Xbox's launch, and this was one of my attempts to swa...

Just think wild, or outside the box, and write whatever works for you. I wrote a story about a Cyber World and how it's being infested by the evil Dr. PS2 and Sir Xbox. Thankfully, Gamecube (all consoles have arms and legs) was there to save the day....or at least Papa NES, whom was held over a juic...

I don't think the gameplay ideas for Dragon Song were bad at all. It was just TERRIBLY executed. I already have several nice gameplay ideas inspired from this game. Unfortunatly, I don't think the story was really any better than the gameplay itself. It was overwhelmingly underdeveloped. It certainl...

The $60 price tag is likely going to be the MSRP costs. Game development is getting more expensive, so companies will be charging more. I like the idea Nintendo is shooting for with the Revolution titles and how some of the low budget titles will be shipped out the door for less cash. I would hope a...
