“Logically, if Sony cuts the price of PS3 to $299, Nintendo may be forced to cut to maintain sufficient price differential versus the PS3 and 360.

“I would say feasible is a good word. To me I always think of the big three as, and maybe it’s just because of when I was playing and when I was first starting at LucasArts, I always think of Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island as the big three [...]

“Video games were the big issue in my review, specifically their classification system. I didn’t have time to outline a new classification system entirely, but I did outline principles for how it should look. My suggestions then went to consultation and the Government have this week made their decision, which is an enhanced PEGI [...]

They could choose from puzzles that were easy, medium or hard to complete. Their partner could win $10 if they solved all the puzzles. Those who played a prosocial game were considerably more helpful than [...]
