phor11 commented on Force Unleashed Not Coming To PC, And This Is The Best Excuse Lucasarts Could Come Up With, at 12:48 PM on May 13 I thought high end PC games were supposed to drive sales of high end PC gaming equipment... I'm really suprised that Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and ATI haven't "persuaded" more game developers to get off this "consoles are where it's going" mentality.

If users get a watered down experience because they have an old gaming rig, then it's not the fault of the developer... more » [kotaku]

phor11 commented on Let's Compare Okami Wii and PS2, at 12:35 PM on Apr 21 Wii advantages:1)Brush is much faster/easier to control2)Can skip some cutscenes and speed up dialog that you couldn't on ps2 Wii disadvantages:1)combos can be tedious at times since you must precisely time waggle2)fleetfoot is incredibly imprecise Annoyances with both PS2 and Wii versions:1)camera can sometimes be a little wonky. All in all, I'd say if you have it on ps2, there's no sense in buying it on Wii, but if you've never played it, definitely buy it for Wii. more » [kotaku]
