"Valve launching free TV service"

Darn, I thought Valve was giving me free cable TV.

I thought I heard that SE was going to ditch the PS2 version of FFXI and make the game PC only. Perhaps that was just speculation.

As modern games become less creative, have less content and cost more through DLC, more gamers will turn towards older games that are quality made, play great and have music that still sounds amazing today. I've purchased a couple of NES games in the past two weeks on Amazon and I'm looking to pick up a few more.

Does it have co-op?

FFXI was great back in it's prime. It had a certain charm to it that is absent in other MMOs. The characters, the music, the chocobos and the monsters all contributed to that. I have no interest in spending another four years of my life being addicted to an MMO but if FFXIV is good, I'll at least play it casually.

@Fiscaldeal An all 31 IV hacked Pokemon is better than a normally raised Pokemon with one or two 31s, a 30/29/28 and 20's/10's/0's for the rest. Therefore you have to cheat to have a team that can perform at a professional level, and if people are playing with perfect Pokemon then there's no need for an IV system at all. I like the IV system and it would be nice if it worked as intended.

I just wish the video game had more integrity. The IV/EV system is broken because you can use cheats to obtain perfect Pokemon. Balancing is poor as well. There are a handful of Pokemon that are far superior to all the others and there are many that are very weak in fully evolved form. If these issues were fixed and if there was a more robust online system for competitive play then Pokemon could become a serious e-sport.

If Ouya has great exclusive games that generate a lot of buzz, the $99 console will sell millions in no time. Console gaming has become too expensive and dull due to uninteresting games. Ouya could change all of that. Game development needs to be brought back down to a smaller scale like what we had in the 80's and 90's. If that environment can exist again, there will be innovative and exciting new games popping out left and right.

I hope "all ages titles" doesn't mean Kinectimals-ish stuff. It should mean games akin to most titles seen on NES, SNES and Genesis. I think those libraries are fitting examples of great games that are appropriate for all ages.

When the going gets tough and game sales drop, will game companies complain or will they work hard to create fresh new gaming experiences that people are willing to pay money for? Will they be anti-consumer or pro-consumer? Will they fail or will they succeed?
