You can play a character wearing a suspender AND bandana, so thats good

You will find it ironic that the song is rapping about the X-Men when you don't actually play as the X-Men

judging from the video, SK lost the case so badly they are no longer allowed to use ANY engine (including their own)

In July 2011, Silicon Knights received nearly 3 million in provincial funding to improve its technology, create new products and become a self-publishing company. Denis Dyack, president of Silicon Knights, said the investment will allow the company to improve it's technology, hire 80 new people while keeping 97 current jobs and allow the company to become "self sustaining." In September of 2011, after completing the X-Men : Destiny game, Silicon Knights laid off 15 employees, and has not yet come through on their commitment to hire new staff as was ear-marked to be done with the free taxpayers dollars they have received.

ico is a timeless adventure for nerds who want a magic journey with a young woman who is completely dependant on them and thus attracted to them

I'd rather have money go to Ueda, an actual game developer, than have it nestled under Denis Dyack's taint. I'm not waving the "games r art" flag, Ico is alright. It can have a lasting impact if you encountered it at a certain time, but it's just another C-tier PS2 platformer out of the launch window.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #41 on:** September 27, 2011, 07:47:59 PM »

Haha, they couldnt even be bothered to animate Gambit. You show up at his place with a box and he puts it on the table, sits down- after talking a while he says well lets see what we have- and he just kind of pauses, never opening the box, then it goes into him talking about what he saw in the box.

here it is again for second page

also I read one of the main characters you can select at the start is called Adrian? First game where I can play as someone with the same name as me!

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well, technically Alucard's real name is Adrian but it's not used in the Castlevania games really.
