Anyone ever hear of a website called Cubed3? Someone on there reached out to me and wanted to see if I would write reviews for them. My biggest concern is that I only have on modern Nintendo system: a 3DS. Other than that, I wouldn't be able to contribute much. >__>

why not?

you've already got a proof-reader working for free

We went and picked up The Boy's Skylanders he had preordered.  Got the thing home and it had an hour's worth of updates to do.  Then, we get the silly thing updated and the game won't recognize the silly portal.  Needless to say, I had a disappointed kid that had been saving his money to blow on Skylanders and then it won't work. 

Good news is Activision already has a new portal in the mail.  I will say, their customer service is top notch.  I really appreciate those folks.

Agreed!

IMO, a company's customer service, customer appreciation, and the speed with which they acknowledge their mistakes & the manner in which they address, placate & compensate their customers & resolve these mistakes, is much more important and says a hell of a lot more about the company than the original *making* of the mistake does.

It's surely not coincidental that, the company that I've been a fan of & supporting for the longest amount of time and - the company that has (by a land-slide), received the most money from me...is the very same company that has pleased me the most in the terms of their customer service, their helpfulness, courtesy, and - most importantly, in my book - the company that has made me feel (and continuously *shows* me) just how much they do appreciate & value having and keeping me as a customer.

The fact that I truly do enjoy playing the games that they make & publish AND the fact that (99% of the time), regardless of what the game that I've purchased from them is...I can buy it, play it, and then resell it for more than I paid for it; are all just happy extras (read: gravy)!

In my experience, I have never had a negative issue with any video game company's customer service. I have dealt with Atlus, XSeed, Aksys and N1 and none of them gave me any issues.

Let me know how the game is when you get it. I just bought 2 characters (Chopper and Funny bone) + a free life trap but I really dont know if I want to get the game yet.

I'll do it.  I'm figuring it's going to be more of the same, but we'll wait and see.  He's pumped on it right now.  Maybe he'll stay with it for a while.

Don't you ever send a support request to Valve.

It's almost a month and they still haven't replied to mine.

N1's "support prinnies" have been my favorite experience so far with customer service from a video game company. They're polite, fast, and actually use "dood" in their messages when they're helping you.

I just bought a Nintendo 3DS theme and I have to say, they look (and sound) pretty cool! I got the Hanafuda one, because I felt like the Mario & cie and Zelda ones are kind of unoriginal...    The mushrooms theme with the Super Mario Bros 3 "mushroom" music is really cool, though! And I can't wait for the Animal Crossing ones to be available.

And I just bought the robot dog DLC for Tokyo Jungle because I suck at surviving and this will make it easier. And I'm thinking of buying the Chau Knives DLC for Scott Pilgrim. What's happening with me and downloadables today?

just noticed that it's on both the PS3 & PS4.  Anyone tried it out yet; on any systems - what's it like/about?

Any differences between PS3 & PS4 other than better graphics & controller on the PS4?

Better graphics? It's a pixel art based game, so graphics should be the same.

And yaaaaaaaaaay I think I'm gonna have a wisdom tooth removed. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i hate this.

I just bought & downloaded it on my PS4.

FOX, afaik - I'm pretty sure that there's an option where you can choose between pixel vs HD graphics; not 100% sure about that, though...

This option is present in the PC version too, that's why I say the graphics on PS3 and PS4 should be no different. Both versions have the same artwork data to choose from.

Even if there's no content/graphical difference in a game (like Natural Doctrine) I still prefer to get it on the PS4 because of the system's interface bells & whistles - ability to capture video/screenshots, ease of switching to Netflix/Hulu/Amazon & watching something and then switching right back to where I paused the game, etc.
