    Great, my preorder should be arriving momentarily then.

    You know what would really be cool? If the pinballs were really eyeballs. Yeah. That would rock.

    I'm under the impression that THQ cannot make good games.

    Is Sega's partnership with them just another nail in their coffin? Sure seems that way

    THQ had one of only two RPGs for Nintendo 64, and it was actually quite good.

    So, they've made at least one good game, but I'm not about to jump to their defense over any other.

    I saw this at E3 and thought it sounded like a funny idea, actually -- but it was unplayably weird. Especially if you know how pinball works and expect it to be even remotely similar. I guess that's probably too much to ask of a game with zombies shuffling around on the playfield...

    And the worst game at E3? The WWF(Or WWE, or whatever it's called now) car combat game where you had to race around the arena trying to get the contract. I was so ashamed that i played it for about 20 minutes.

    I think we're responsible for this, guys? How many times have we theorized that any game would be more fun with "Of the Dead" in the title? Someone in development listed to us. Apparently, we were wrong.

    There is an annoying underage poster who keeps making new logins and necro'ing old threads just to shit them up. The Entity has taken the drastic action of deleting their very existence (e.g. their login and all their posts) anytime they show up with a new login, this being the most effective way to get rid of stupid attention whores.

    Unfortunately, some people (like me) responded to them before The Entity disintegrated them, so now you can't tell what we were reporting. Anyway, there it is.
