I'd say the Nintendo Seal of Quality never meant anything. There was a proliferation of shit games even in the NES days.

I very rarely buy "Collector's" Editions of games, but the sure way to get me to do so is to offer in-game stuff. Consequently, I bought the CE of Dragon Age and have pre-ordered the CE of Mass Effect 2. Of course Bioware games are, along with Bethsoft games, my absolute favorites. Everything else goes on hold when a Bioware game is released, so having the CE for one of their titles seems worth it to me.

I've got that Zelda disc. I doubt I'd ever want to part with it, but I'm glad to know it might be worth something. Of course I've opened it and played it.

@GusMastrapa: Eh, my brother is somewhat of a music snob. I'm long past caring what the music intelligentsia says about whatever music I like. You self righteous bastards can look down on my all you want, I LOVE the Counting Crows. And how about this? I like Limp Bizkit. What now Gus?! :-p

@Catastrophic1: I'm not sure how you could agree with Ryan and yet state that I don't have a point. I think we were both trying to say the same thing about the "it's *just* a game" argument that you put forth. Games can be meaningful and say something and evoke emotional responses. That reality is antithetical to the "it's just a game" argument. There is no way to categorically say that all games are *just* games. You're setting up this weird straw man argument that no one is making. No one is "getting bent out of shape" about this. We're just talking about the impact of the scene and what, if anything, it is trying to say. Some people are affected by it more than others, but I don't think anyone is saying, "Damn IW for including this. It's a travesty of justice!" Okay, maybe Tom Chick said that over at Fidgit, but I don't think anyone here is saying that.

I just checked the full track list and saw that Counting Crows' "Angels of the Silences" is in this game. MUST BUY!

I like the songs in both the Hot and Not sections. Perhaps this game is for me, a 28 year old dude. :-p

I find the comments stating that one should heed the warning of the "pretty little box" and elect not to play the scene to be way off the mark. I don't think Kyle's point was to say that the scene shouldn't have been included in the game or that he was pissed about being forced to play it or something. He, and others, are simply giving their reactions to the scene itself. The "it's just a game" argument is so dumb, so played out, and so off the mark as to be a bad cliche' at this point. Yeah, it's a game. But why can't a game try to say something and why can't a game affect one emotionally or make one think? I'm not even saying IW did a great job doing any of those things with this particular scene, but it seems to me that they were trying and that's commendable.

The execution of the scene, not the execution of individuals within the scene. Just to be clear.
