The term "bigotry" is reserved for discrimination that matters, like race or gender.

I think it's pretty safe to say that Blizzard is not looking to bring their online-multiplayer-focused games to the Wii, since it lacks a platform comparable to the PSN or Live. Certainly someday they could come up with a new game that may work very well on the Wii, but with Starcraft, Diablo, and their new MMO likely to take up all of Blizzard's time for the foreseeable future, I don't think the Wii is a viable option for them. Diablo is just too risky to port, whereas it fits in very well with PS3 and 360 demographics and play habits.

Agreed, what is needed is an R18+ rating. But doesn't forcing a clearly R18+ game through as a MA15+ title give the industry a bad image as far as public opinion goes? And that opinion is of particular importance right now. With GTA and other games setting a precedent for this sort of thing, the AVP appeal plays into the fantasy that developers are smut peddlers corrupting society. It also plays into Atkinson's argument that an R18+ category is dangerous because it would open the floodgates of unacceptable content, given what's already getting through at the 15+ level.

good point. I wonder if competitors see the Nintendo model as the way of the future, or just a fluke.

I think xezene was being sarcastic, I know I was. It looks like an error on Gamestop's part. There's no publisher or developer listed, no box art, and as f4r7tz said, nothing has been announced.

I wasn't anticipating it, but I got a hold of a copy of Uncharted 2 from a friend, and wow. Just wow. I don't think I've gotten this wrapped up in a game since I was in middle-school.
