| ??? The only game Funcom made out of your list was The Longest Journey. Journeyman Project was made by Sanctuary Woods (RIP), Grim Fandango was made by LucasArts (RIP), and Myst was made by Cyan (RIP). I wholly agree that those are some fantastic and classic games. Hell, the Longest Journey and Grim Fandango are my two favorite games of all time but they weren't made by Funcom. The only other adventure game they made besides Longest Journey was its sequel, Dreamfall, which fell way short of the mark in my book.
Long live adventure games.

| GTA is just the candy sprinkles on top. EA mainly wants take 2 for its sports franchises. This would basically leave consumers with one sports game per sport to choose from and they will all go stale the way Madden did. I don't like the 'if you can't beat 'em, buy 'em' mentality. No competition leads to no innovation.

| Looks effing sweet to me. I think Sega might finally be listening to the fans for a change and making the Sonic game we've been clamoring 15 years for. From what I've seen so far this is a sure-fire pre-order for me. Can't wait.

| Hmmm... let's see here.
-My 360 has a 120gig drive with 70+ gigs free. Nope, no problem there.
-My PS3 has a 160gig drive with 100+ gigs free. Yup, that checks out.
-My Wii has a 512mb drive with about 50mb free. Nintendo, we have a problem.
If Nintendo wants me to buy downloadable games from them they damn well better give me a place to store them soon. Swapping games to the SD card to download new ones is unbelievably lame!

| Well 9mil sounds high to me but hell, if Mario & Sonic at the Olympics can sell 5mil, anything is possible.
The Iron Man movie is going to tank regardless of GTA. Movies are dumb.

| ^ Pretty much. Consider though that each of the 6 tracks contains two different layouts which effectively brings the total to 12. I'm by no means defending this product though. I find it despicable that they'd take advantage of their impatient fans and charge 2/3 the cost of the full game for 1/4 the content. I think $20 would have been the perfect price for Prologue and I might have even bit at $30 but $40 is stupid.

| Anandtech has more pictures. It appears that the heat will vent out the side of the card near the SLI bracket. I'm not a big fan of the design though as the heat from one of these cards would turn my Cosmos into an oven. Shame they couldn't vent it out the back of the case the way the 8800s do. Seems like they could have made the metal around the DVI connectors a grill or something to vent the heat.

| Excellent review. Glad to see this game is getting the critical praise and sales it deserves. I'm not even a fan of RTS games nor have I ever played a 4x game and I cannot deny the awesomeness of Sins. I'm hooked. Steep learning curve aside it is just a great game.
