Yeap, because it's true for the most part. Most games run comfortably on dual-cores. Having four just spreads the load even more. It doesn't take a huge leap of imagination to predict that quad-core processors (and probably dual graphics cards) will be fully utilized for those wishing to run future games on the highest possible settings though.

because I'm a sycophant!

Like any gamer born in the eighties, I absolutely adored Mega Man 9. It was a welcome throwback to our lives as kids, chugging coke, falling into pits endless times, and using those strange words you heard in the school yard to vent your anger. As I understand it sold rather well across the virtual console/arcade platforms, and this got me thinking: how about another Sonic done in Genesis graphics?

In my humble opinion the 16-bit graphics of that era have aged rather well, and it'd be the perfect antidote to people who've long grown fed up with the series and how convoluted its storytelling has become. Doesn't anyone else miss the basic premise: find 7 Chaos Emeralds, abuse Tails, stop Robotnik?

I'm possibly part of the minority here, but the particular brand of breakneck speed platforming Sonic epitomized doesn't quite translate well to 3D graphics. So yeah, anyone?! Oh, and I'm assuming that Sonic & Knuckles is the second half of Sonic 3.

I'm coming up short when it comes to recommending a specific game, but the team should follow the spirit of the original Endurance Runs: exposing more gamers to under-rated/under-appreciated games that should have sold a lot better (in the vein of Beyond Good & Evil, perhaps?).

I'm jumping the gun here for sure (especially on a forum that's barely a year old), but Matt's a prime candidate for the user Hall of Fame. Thanks for making that final episode all the more momentous, and huge bummer that your beloved MMO died.

I'm expecting a lot of terrible regent-themed puns from El Marca if Real ever thrashes Getafe.

Yeap, but only because my country has compulsory conscription for guys when they're 21.

Dragon Age, and fingers crossed for a Starcraft 2 Christmas release.

No, because a competitive market is a consumer's market.
