"Several weeks have passed since our response and we started thinking that Apple has ruled in favor of our explanations. Unfortunately to our great surprise today we have learned that StoneLoops! had been removed from the AppStore. It was also quite a shock to learn that the final decision was actually made by MumboJumbo as apparently Apple asked them if our response was satisfactory. Of course MumboJumbo replied that they still want StoneLoops! removed. After all if you were to decide whether your direct competition will be allowed to sell products or not, would you allow them? Talk about unfair competition – Luxor is selling, StoneLoops! is not. I wonder what happens when Zuma launches in the AppStore. Will PopCap request to remove Luxor with similar claims? Such case would be identical." - Glenn Slaven from Bookmarklet

T-Freestyle NW just might be the thing to make your extreme games that much more extreme. For the asking price of $29.99, it had better. Pure bliss! - Faraz Mullick from Bookmarklet

Ever since Bungie fired the first shot with their $129.99 Legendary edition of Halo 3, it seems like there's been an ongoing arms race of increasingly ludicrous videogame collector's editions. - Faraz Mullick from Bookmarklet

Ever since that Modern Warfare 2 scene got out on the internets in all of its airport civilian-shooting glory, the game has been catching a lot of flack. Despite giving Activision the chance to explain it on this very site, it's just not enough for some -- and in light of that scene, one Aussie group is demanding the game be re-rated. - Faraz Mullick from Bookmarklet

The PS3 was the top-selling console in September, which is the first time it's ever managed a first-place sales finish. - Faraz Mullick from Bookmarklet

"2D BOY made around $100,000 in a week. That’s $50,000 each for writing a blog post about a game they finished a year ago. By letting people pay whatever they wanted." - Tanath from Bookmarklet

'Tis a good game. - Tanath

"Hollywood films continue to skew towards what critics disgustedly refer to as "torture porn," a type of movie most recently popularized by the Saw franchise. These movies are meant to shock the viewer through mutilation and graphic depictions of death and pain. Meanwhile, horror videogames have turned into shoot'em-ups with far flung sci-fi settings (Dead Space) and muscle-bound, invincible protagonists (Resident Evil). Saw partially succeeds in bringing a taste of Hollywood horror to your console by grounding itself in the gritty and depraved world of the popular film series." - Faraz Mullick from Bookmarklet

I wonder if you can really sing into it or if it's just finger taps - Rodfather

From http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r...: "Vocals differ from the other instruments, though not in the way you would expect. Green notes representing lyrics zip from right to left horizontally across the screen - hitting them is a matter of tapping buttons situated along the left." -- Aw that sucks - Rodfather

"While EA and Valve have been quiet about exactly what content had been changed in the "modified version" of Left 4 Dead 2, Australia's Classification Board hasn't been as silent. The Board has provided GameSpot AU with a copy of today's Left 4 Dead 2 ruling, which states that the modified version of the game recently resubmitted "no longer contains depictions of decapitations, dismemberment, wound detail, or piles of bodies lying about the environment"." - Glenn Slaven from Bookmarklet

"This replica of Link’s Master Sword from Zelda: Twilight Princess is a perfectly accurate cosplay and collector prop." - Tanath from Bookmarklet

cool; but, did they really need to draw hands on every controller, obscuring most of them? - Sean O'Hanley

Well it's likely this diagram came out of a white paper on video game controller ergonomics, so the hand/finger placement is crucial. Actually that's what drew me to this in the first place :) - CannonGod

For a game that's been touted throughout production for it's emotive character dialogue (http://www.youtube.com/watch...), this is fucking abysmal. - CannonGod from Bookmarklet

This made me realize there's a whole world of these games I have no idea about. - Kittyburgers

FIGHT! - CannonGod

"Candy Land is under attack! This once sweet and tasty land has been taken over by hordes of snapping Cup Cakes, Angry Bees and Jelly Monsters and only one thing can stop this evil army of monster cakes. He's one tough cookie; a guy that won't crumble under the pressure... 'Ninjabread Man.'" - Tanath from Bookmarklet

I wore my right thumb down to a nub just completing the NORMAL difficulty! This game will kick your ass!!! D: - CannonGod from iPhone
