Anyone out there reading work at the ESRB? Or is really familiar with ESRB guidelines? Because in the past week some publishers have become antsy about their M-rated trailers and wanting us to stick them behind an age-gate. I understand why this would be the case if the trailer or demo was hosted by the developer or publisher themselves since they are part of the ESRB, but I'm not sure why it would apply to independent sites. The ESRB's site is totally useless however, and I can't even find proper contact info. So if anyone knows what the deal is, send me an email.

  A cell shaded cartoon style FPS could be pretty cool, actually.

      I'm thinking more along the lines of loony toons/ Ichy and Scratchy/ Saturday morning cartoons.

      I liked the gameplay ok up to the annoying as fuck Stealth levels with no quick-save options. The ending was total ass.

        I had a choice between this and Kotor at the game store. I remebered how much fun the demo was for XIII so I figured the full game would be fun.
        
        God was it ever horrible. The no saves was so frustrating.

        Yeah, that got really old. Supposedly a patch added quick-save, but I could never get it to work. The worst was they included the fucking bind option in the menu, it just didnt' do anything.

    I would love a new Nerf Arena game. I think it'd be a hit with the new Unreal engine, great graphics in a fine modern engine and nice and friendly.
