@Skiveron In that it's an opinion? This is a really well-constructed point that is relevant to the current news and the video game "scene" as a whole. I was actually about to comment that this is one of the best articles I have read on gamespot. Great job, Parker.

@Dudeinator Maybe from a business standpoint, I guess. But from a gamer's standpoint, trailers like the ones for SC2 are incredibly misleading. Those resources would be better used making demos, which give a much better idea of what games are like. (I'm loving the demo availability on my Vita, and hope the 3DS picks up more too. Saved me from buying Lumines.)

Meh. Had this trailer been branded as any other game/studio, nobody would have cared. Doesn't look that compelling.

@taddia Stop whining; you're not entitled to get to post whatever you want on others' sites. Moderators can do what they want and that's that.

@djgamer2012: "You can either use prepaid cards that come in increments of $20" Read the article before you post a comment about it lol.

@NachoHook Calm down a bit. Having valid points that lean in one direction doesn't nullify objectivity. If I say "murder is wrong," I wouldn't be reamed for not discussing both sides of the issue. This is something people need to consider as they yell at newsmen. ...Anyway, I bought a 3DS. And yes, it had a POOR launch lineup. But I'm enjoying SSF4 and RR (and others might want Nintendogs or Ghost Recon), so it's all good. I bought it knowing that it will eventually have a great library. I'd venture to say that most systems don't have much of a launch lineup. GBA had Castlevania and Super Mario Advance. DS had Super Mario 64 DS. XBox had Halo. I'll never convince you to buy a 3DS, Mr. Magrino. But what's so wrong with having fun with the handful of good games that are out while waiting for more that are guaranteed to come?

@deathstream And YOUR view of iOS is horribly fanboy-ish. Fact is, despite the handful of "in-depth" RPGs and adventure games that smart phones have, they're still phones, not game systems. I enjoy games on my phone, but I still play console games because, let's face it, I can't play Starcraft, Civilization, Crysis, etc on my Droid (yeah, it's not an iPhone, but let's not start THAT argument too).
