Epic Mickey had flaws, but most of them were 100% because of the Wii. (bad camera controls, small environments, etc) and if you're a Disney fan, there was really a lot to love. I'm pretty excited about this one.

Considering the Wii had Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, I fail to see how the console was responsible for Epic Mickey being a bad platformer. The technical limitations of the system had nothing to do with the quality of the game.

Nintendo have slightly more insight into how to develop for their own console. Perhaps the control issue was partly the fault of the developers, but if it were just played on a standard controller, there wouldn't have been a problem.

The problem with the environments was completely because of the Wii though. Even just looking at the artwork, you can tell they wanted the game to be huge and the idea of being able to explore a twisted version of Disney World was super appealing for me. But because of the technical limitations, the areas are all very small, there's no detail and no sense of exploration or wonder. On the 360 or PS3, that wouldn't have been a problem.

Considering that SMG 1 & 2 are probably the best in the genre, to have made Epic Mickey like the way they did is not something you can blame on the Wii really. Like goddamn, that felt like a mid-life PS2 platformer for all the wrong reasons. I wanted to like it so bad.

Anyway, a little off what they're doing with the sequel, but I wish Warren Spector would go ahead and make something I could get interested in.

Really? That is welcome news.

I never heard anything about this. I would like some proof.

Ah, I just recall on SRK recently there was a news story about Microsoft listing the release for earyl April or something.

Skullgirls in a few weeks.

@gladspooky: GB has had ads for a long ass time, if you don't like them subscribe or get AdBlock Plus. Also if GB makes more and more money for them, CBSi will obviously recognize this and will allow them to thrive and act as they want, give them more funding, et cetera. Nothing wrong with that. Not huge difference from how it was before. Now they just have a wealthier boss.

@snide: I have faith that you and Alexis will build Giant Bomb to only to be a better site in the future, the final iteration of the Whiskey sites you made are really above and beyond most of what is out there. I'd love to become a yearly subscriber if it wasn't for paying for school and the occasional video game (and trying to save up for one of those fancy Machinedrums), thank you very much though.

Random PC Game and Load Our Last Save seem pretty fucking good...

Either he's being a moron or satirical, whatevs.

That's because it's the only good one.

lmao, and Superman 64 is shits on Super Mario 64.

They didn't do I Love Mondays for like 7 weeks or something before they got that recent 30 second long intro that I always skip.
