It sucks that Star Wars 1313 is cancelled, but this might be good news. Couldn't this conceivably lead to a licensed reboot of X-Wing/Tie Fighter games from a developer that loved the franchise and could do it justice? Full Throttle 2 or Maniac Mansion 3 by Double Fine?
My brother and I came up with METATRON as the security answer. We looked at all the possible letters in the puzzle and presumed the second half of the hint was the word "TRON" (half of what made it, being "POLYTRON," and "POLY" couldn't be spelled.) Judging by the letters on the remaining cubes, I assumed there would be at least one A and one E. My brother came up with all the possible vowel arrangements and we put our Boggle skills to work and started seeing what words we could spell with the two remaining cubes. I came upon the word "META" and it made too much sense for it not to be the answer (something being the thing that it is, the very definition of meta.)
Unfortunately, we were stumped on how to actually arrange the letters. Found the solution online. That was silly.
To me, Mortal Kombat has never been a serious fighter. I've never taken the story, the characters, or the violence seriously. All I know is that it's fun as hell to beat up my friends in these games. I was initially opposed to this idea at first as well, but I realized that would be takinging too seriously. I've come to embrace the idea. Flash using Kabal's spin move? That's brilliance. I'll be there day one, and my friends will be on the couch beside me.
I remember finishing Final Fantasy IV on the SNES (as II) when I was 11 or 12 years old. I love this game, and I'm super excited to get my hands on this version. Of all the Final Fantasy games, I think the SNES era ones have the most to benefit from being remade.
I just got this game from the US Virtual Console after seeing a video of it. It's got some awesome, unintelligable anime-style cutscenes. It seems pretty similar to R-Type, so we'll see how well it differentiates itself.
