By that logic Magical Volo is a cute little ap- next-gen console action RPG by Liquid Ent.
Is that like when JC empties a couple of canisters of napalm on a stupid NPC dumb enough to cross his path?- Any Lara fans?

They're French: they're probably saluting her sex appeal. (Crazy is often sexy.)- FF XII
Hops are part of beer. No. Yes. Still No.- next-gen console action RPG by Liquid Ent.
If the interface is decent, then twitching is an okay form of input. Or, as Tubs said to the hostage taker who threatened "All I have to do is twitch, and she's dead" in Miami Vice: "Maybe, you won't even twitch," as he shot him right between the eyes from behind his vantage point.- Mythic structure in RPGs/video games in general
I think you have been watching a double-bill of Minority Report and Serenity, followed by a big cheese plate before bed, to achieve that mix of ideas.- Jade Empire Is A Big Fat Financial Failure!!!

Because creating unique intellectual properties and developing them requires time, resources and adequate financing. By producing commercially successful titles - regardless of them being action RPGs or not, but action RPGs was the provided example - they can generate enough revenue with which to finance risky endeavours such as going with an in house IP which is less mainstream. "More profound" RPGs aren't as commercially successful as more mainstream RPGs, and trying to develop them without any considerable monetary backup can be damning. Trying to establish reasonable funding from titles which may be commercial success is better than trying to establish reasonable funding from titles which may be commercial failures. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeedy. Just like the music industry is discovering: just because the media companies are multi-national, doesn't mean they can leverage their econmies of scale to market a particular band / genre / trend / whatever. In fact the trend seems to be more smaller market niches. Which the music industry is financing with imbecilic teenagers' pre-occupation with being "different" exactly like the rest of their peers, buy buying the same type of rehashed pop covers that get released in a cycle a couple of years apart.- Jade Empire Is A Big Fat Financial Failure!!!
Question: Which Saint has more likenesses than any other in the world?- Any Lara fans?

I was actually cooling my heels in the bookshop today and was perusing the comics: there were a couple I recognised like Tankgirl and Ultimate Xmen, as well as some I thought looked interesting, like Preacher, X-men (e Generation, or something) and something like a cross between Ghostbusters, Men In Black and the X-files, but called Dirt Crap, or something (can't recall). What are some good artists / writers to look out for, in case I feel the need to spend - Jade Empire Is A Big Fat Financial Failure!!!
