What about the star wars series on the SNES?
so... me wants just a straight up all star wars characters fighting game with soul calibur engine pretty please?
The device is quite interesting. It seems to site between the umpc and the netbooks (i'm gonna use this term even if i don't necessarily agree with it).

The trackpad, I don't know about it, but it's probably serviceable. And look what it does to the size of thing? This thing is gonna be SMALL and portable.

I like the cam position, that's a nice way to shave a lil off the bezel.

The keyboard looks great. I didn't like the dodgy right shift location. It's too bad that the arrows get scrunched, but I use right shift way more than the arrows.

For those complaining that the higher resolution will make things tiny, you can always increase the font and icon sizes.
I've got a g5 mac as well as my own built pc.

I understand where you are trying to go with your analogy, but it's funny cause I see macs like mcdonalds as well since you have a set menu and there's relatively little you can do to change your order.

I see pcs more like being almost all the restaurants in the world. Some are amazing and expensive, some are amazing for the price, some are blah. I think there is a general mistake in thinking of pcs as one entity, when the diversity of pcs is what is it's strength and weakness.

Mac is like that fancy restaurant on the corner that has it's own set menu. They kind of do their own thing. They used to be about the neighborhood, but they've been growing in popularity and now have a bouncer and a guest list.
Let me get this straight. So the blue-ray, which factors heavily into the cost of the ps3, is originally justified by sony because it can hold so much more data and information.

However, the blue ray drive reads slow enough that they have to load information onto the harddrive to make it acceptable to play.

I"m sure the blue ray is great for movies, but it seems that gamers are getting the shaft on a technology that is being used a bit too soon.

If it's faster on the harddrive, you might as well load up the full game like on a pc using traditional dvd drives. Stick in a 500 gig harddrive and you should still be saving a few hundred bucks.

That's just my 2 cents.
Hey Sony, here's an idea, why don't you port TEKKEN 5 DR to the ps2? You made it exclusively a psp port just so you can boost psp sales, but stabbed the fanbase in the back by doing so. You also hurt yourself since tournaments couldn't use it until you made it playable on the ps3. Good job guys. Given that it's a small upgrade from Tekken 5, which is on the ps2, there was no reason not to release it Tekken 5dr on the ps2.
for the love of god, gimme gimme! hehe
I once won a million dollars. Eight hundred thousand of it I spent on women, drugs, and booze. The rest i just wasted.
Game looks great no doubt, although megaman would have have been sick.

I've been thinking lately, wouldn't it be fun to have something like the smash fight engine, mechanics used for a completely different game? Like street fighter for example. Have a button for fireball, up b for uppercut, etc.

What i'm saying is that the smash fight engine is so intuitive, yet there is tons of depth past the initial stage. In terms of a fighting game that fits for a game pad, I don't really of any other that works as well.

ah the possibilities.
From a scientific perspective, this isn't a very effective way to get kids outside so to speak. Taxation on video games is basically punishing video game playing. Research on punishment has been shown that as long as the punitive consequence is high enough, it will work by reducing the target behavior. The main problem with punishment, however, is that it doesn't actually teach the person to engage in an appropriate, alternative behavior. If the Sierra Club wants kids to be outside more, they should be giving incentives for athletic performance. If you want to increase a particular behavior, it's generally best to target that behavior directly.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
