It's a toss-up between Jack and Jill and The Devil Inside for me. Maybe Jack and Jill wins out because it barely qualifies as a movie.

You'll get a good laugh and feel a lot better about the past few weeks.

Just do it.

For me.

Neither because dedicated handhelds aren't long for this world.

Please elaborate on this.

I'm on the fence about purchasing a hand held. My last handheld was a PSP 2000 and it was mostly used for playing in bed before sleepy time. Now I have a Kindle, which helps - but I need an outside light source, which sucks.

I may be inferring your comment as smartphones/tablets will rule this world (to which I have to agree).

Yeah, the smartphones are definitely taking over. Most people have them already and games are extremely affordable. The 3DS is $160 with games at around $40 a pop. The current generation of handhelds isn't cheap enough or enticing enough to casual gamers, which means they can't really compete with tablets/smartphones.

Just wait until either Nintendo or Sony realizes this (or hell, even Microsoft) and comes out with a handheld that does other things besides videogames.

Also, as mentioned above, find the games that most appeal to your tastes. Sony's got the developers lined up, and good titles either out or on the horizon. Nintendo will most undoubtedly be top-shelf first party titles (Mario, Zelda, Kid Icarus, Metroid), a smattering of so-so 3rd party titles, and a steaming pile of shovelware and kid-friendly titles. I'm basing this on the history of the 3DS/Wii and the PS2/PS3/PSP games catalogs.

Although if you must have one, consider this excellent point. Sony is a bit more well-rounded, but Nintendo is doing neat stuff with their first-party IPs. So I guess if you love Nintendo, get a 3DS. If not, get a Vita.

Snide Remarks with Radio Dave

Winner!

I can't do any better than that!

Mass Effect 2. I know most people are saying 3, but everything about that opening scene in 2 really grabs me.

Good to see a simple slim footer down there rather than the old one.

It's worth noting that Giant Bomb isn't available on the "Visit other CBS Interactive Sites" list at the bottom of Gamespot. Not here either.

Well you can't have Gamespot and Giant Bomb competing on the same page. I bet Comic Vine will show up there at some point, but not GB.

I will say that I am more skeptical of GiantBomb's future after what I've seen of Tested, but I will not pre-judge their future based on that. Still really, really bummed about Tested though. :-(

My thoughts exactly.

Yes! Thanks, that's one down!

Now I know this is a long shot, but I have some fond (if incredibly vague) memories of two games that were installed on two different Macs my family had. One was a 3D platformer where you played as a bug (and was most definitely not A Bug's Life) post 2000, pre-installed on a Mac desktop and the final boss was a red fire-breathing ant. The other was a 3D platformer where I think the first level had the player character saving farmers from being abducted by aliens, post 2000, pre-installed on a MacBook.

Has anyone here ever heard of either of these? Because I'd love to rediscover them.
