Hello, I am CaptainObvious and I am powered by cereal. Today I want to lay down some thoughts on few different subjects, namely game pricing, Starcraft II, return of fighting games and more. Let's kick this off by talking about game pricing.

Game Pricing - Few days ago, I was listening to an interview with SWERY, creator of the game I love to death, Deadly Premonition. He brought up an interesting point by saying that movies are being made with millions of dollars behind them, yet you can see them for less than 20 bucks. Now, I'm not saying that games should be 10 bucks or anything, but they definitely should be friendlier in pricing. And by 'friendlier in pricing' I mean around 40 - 45$. Let's take Crackdown 2 for example. It's basically the same thing as the previous game in the franchise, and yet it's still being sold for the full price of 60$. I think that the game would benefit from the price tag of 40 bones because I could see myself in a store thinking about picking it up and going "Ah what the hell, it's just 40$" and buying it. The other games I think are great for 40 dollars are Transformers: War for Cybertron and the poorly selling Overlord franchise. The same thing goes for franchises that have yearly releases, namely sports games and Need for Speed from EA, CoD and Guitar Hero from Activision and finally wrestling games and all that from THQ. I know it would be impossible, but a man can dream. Let's move on to Starcraft II.
