SezPangloss: For the longest time, I’ve wanted a true co-op RTS. And when I say, “true co-op” I mean two (or more, god willing) people working to manage the same army....

One of the reasons whyFat Princessis so excellent — outside of the rampant sexism — is the fact that it’s just so brutal and bloody. It appears Sony Japanmissed the memo, because the Japanese version of the game appears to contain not a single drop of claret whatsoever.

Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson was the champion of the very first game legislation law to be passed in the States. The law meant children were banned from accessing “violent” games in arcades.
