Is it just me, or is Banjo way too blocky looking? He needs to be more rounded, *like he used to be*. Kazooie's not too bad though. What's with Rare screwing up their character designs lately (Joanna Dark & Banjo, anyway)?

How about they make some games that can't be written off as guaranteed to suck? Just alot of boring, retarded, uninspired additions to existing franchises or uninspired new games that follow the same pathetic designs.

I agree, Mystakill - I think it's silly to pay for gamerpics that are clearly designed to boost a game. On the other hand, people routinely pay for t-shirts that promote restaurants, rock bands, and other crap. People even pay top dollar for shirts that have the shirt-makers logos all over the front. I figure - you should pay me to give you that kind of advertising.

But if people are fond enough of a brand, they'll pay to display their "fanclub membership."

have to agree with Mystakill

Yeah pics and themes - come on. I won't buy any of that crap. I need a to buy a camera or buy pictures from companies to come up with an OK gamer pic, instead of using one of my own on my PC? Nah.

As much as I used to enjoy Doom, I can't see spending another $10 on an ancient game that's been available for free for several years now. I won't spend more than $5 on *any* retro title, regardless of what shovelware (maps, levels, characters, etc.) is added to it. Bring on the new stuff like Castle Crashers, Strong Arms and Hoopworld and I'll be more likely give you my $10. And Lumines ala carte won't sell as well as an all-in-one $20 bundle would. Also, am I the only one who think's it's ridiculous to export people to pay to advertise your products? Game-related themes should be free, to promote word-of-mouth and goodwill. Publishers only have a short window of opportunity to boost their game sales . Charging for such trivialities will turn people off of your game. (Yes, I know, "don't buy it then". Trust me, I don't. I've spent more than $100 in the Marketplace, but not on themes or gamerpics.)

I don't consider Doom to be overpriced, so I guess I'm in the minority. Dashed through episode one on Ultra Violence and nabbed half the achievements last night. I intend to play through at least a couple more episodes tonight, then hop online for some deathmatch over the weekend to grab the 50 and 100 kills badges. I love Doom.

I'd like to see Halo Wars and Blue Dragon gameplay - these trailers are gorgeous, but what's the GAME like? In these "Next-Gen" days, do developers still need to hide behind pre-rendered overproduced trailers?

That being said, the Bioshock trailer was awesome! (Gameplay or not.)

I agree, also, with the comments that DOOM is overpriced.

I hope they release the online and offline demo's of Phantasy Star Universe before X06 is over! Yeah Wolfenstein 3D was the first widely popular FPS, but we all know that DOOM brought it to the masses. DOOM was the game that inspired a million copies. DOOM was the GTA of it's time for opportunist politicians. DOOM was the game that made myself and many others jelous of their PC owning friends for the first time. DOOM was a landmark title and is the main seed of the FPS market today. I was very excited to play it over LIVE in moth deathmatch and co-op! And I look forward to DOOM 2 and Quake eventually. $10 is a little steep, but I know I will get more play out of it than any other LIVE ARCADE game to date, so I was happy to pay it.

Seriously, DEMOS, DEMOS, DEMOS! F the trailers, I can see those in my browser any time I'd like. And please tell developers/publishers to NOT waste their time with crappy titles like Fusion Frenzy. Holy cow, what crap.

Catacomb 3D was released before Wolfenstein 3d. And I don't think it was the first FPS either.

And by the way, if you haven't played Catacomb 3d, check it out.

Wolfenstein 3D is also not the original FPS.

It's meaningless. Doom is a great game.
