The story definitely picks up, yeah. The target directly after that one is a total blast with a few great anime sequences. And after Handsome Men, well, let's just say Killer 7 kicks it into overdrive.

As for how much is on the second disc, there isn't that much - a lot of cutscenes but there's only a couple real levels.

Sorry, KN, but Sir KnowsNothing sounds like cheesy Schoolhouse Rock character. Sir Stevey has a certain ring to it.

A ring that couldn't spell to save its life.

They told us it would rise, and it has, albeit imperfectly.

TalkBack / Emotional Attachment in Gaming

Bowen Research has performed a study to see the impact of gaming on one's emotions.

Can a Video Game Make You Cry?    


Today's youth feel video games will soon equal or surpass other forms of  entertainment in emotional impact
   


Half Moon Bay, Calif.-September 20, 2005-More than two thirds of all video  gamers feel that video games already surpass, or will soon at least equal  movies, music and books in delivering an emotional impact, according to a  study released today by Bowen Research, a firm that studies consumer  attitudes and behavior regarding high tech products, consumer electronics,  software and web sites.    


"It is striking that young people today look at games as an entertainment  medium that surpasses or will equal the more traditional things that touch  us deeply, like books, movies, and music," says Hugh Bowen of Bowen  Research. "Half of all gamers think conveying emotion is extremely or pretty  important which suggests that games which can achieve more of this will be  extremely popular."    


Role-playing games evoked the most powerful emotions, but despite the  explosive growth of multiplayer online role-playing games in recent years,  most respondents still feel it is the single player role-playing gaming  experience that delivers the greatest emotional punch. The next two most  emotional genres are first-person shooters, followed closely by action  games. Flying games and flight simulators ranked lowest on the emotional  scale.    


While "competitiveness" ranked as the top feeling conveyed by games, it's  interesting that "honor/loyalty/integrity," "awe and wonder" and "delight"  also were mentioned frequently.    


Respondents overwhelmingly cited the Final Fantasy  series of role-playing  games from Square Enix as the most emotionally rich games, and the death of  Aeris in Final Fantasy VII was the scene many people said made them cry.

Company president Brian Farrell had more than a couple nice things to say about Nintendo's newest console.

During THQ's year-end press event, IGNCube spoke with Brian Farrell about THQ's plans for Nintendo's Revolution. The company president had more than a couple positive things to say, including "We are commited to Nintendo's [Revolution]."    


While Farrell did say that they were supporting the console, he declined to answer as to whether or not Nintendo had issued the company development kits, followed by another rather nice quote, "We're seeing more from Nintendo now [for Revolution] than we have an any other Nintendo platform."    


And so, we can add THQ to the relatively small list of developers who have confirmed support for the Revolution. However, if we are to believe what Farrell has seen, "Nintendo is waking up."
