I thought cka was "done."

Are you sure that link relates to his banning? He doesn't really say much in it aside from one or two posts. Anyway, if diffusionx were here he'd probably say:

A) It's not the best selling videogame ever. Halo 2 a year ago beats it so it's not like being the "hottest selling" really means much, and for a handheld game it's doing well. This is one game out of how many Nintendo's been throwing at the fan. The game is more of a demo mini-game that tires after 30 minutes anyway. 20 dollars would still be too high. Nintendo sux kthx. 15% of the DS fanbase is, what, 2 people? *hyuk yuk yuk*

I think the idea is great, but the game itself probably gets boring too fast.

This is the case with every Dogs or Cats game. I remember being completely addicted to the Game Boy Color version of Dogs when it came out - two days later I sold it at GameStop. They're no better than Tamagachis if you ask me.

yea, guess it is one of the very few titles that are gd on the DS, PSP is dominating

LMFAO. You're right, "zero good games" is better than "very few good games," so clearly PSP is dominating.

And stop with the EGM-inspired jackassery of calling games "titles".

I thought so at first when I began to play the Japanese import at work. Played it for a bit over a week and I grew to like it more than I expected. I ended up buying the US version and playing it all over again. I can't really stand to play it more than about 10-15 minutes at a time, but I pick it up at least a couple times a day. Definitely still fun to play with in short spurts. There are plenty of long-term objectives to shoot for, and just going for walks to unlock new goodies is fun in the way that playing slots is fun (you might get something cool).

[diffusionx]Once again Mark Ryan proves he has the worst taste on TNL.[/diffusionx]

Anyway enough diffusionx talk. I'm sure he'll be back soon enough to fill the void. But it's good to hear that they put some longevity in to the game. Still, I'm apprehensive. I don't own a DS anyway so it's not like I'll be playing it, but it's something I want to try.
