    Those appear to be either potstickers or meat-stuffed bread in the steamer. Bowl of soy sauce, green tea, and breaded something... Shrimp?

    it's funny. The only reason phone games are so cheap nowadays is because they charged this much for them back when they were crappy little snake games

    now that phones are close to the quality of dedicated handhelds you're getting much more substantial games for relatively the same price.

    I agree.

    Most of the DS games are over-fucking-priced.

    Man I agree with this to an extent, but really I just don't give shit about 3d.

    Do you know why people see 3D movies? Because the 2D version isn't available.

    Do you know what is important to me in portable gaming? Portability! Small sizes! Long battery life! Being able to use it for different things!

    That's why I like my iPhone, I don't want to carry something else when my phone does everything well, with the exception of long arse games.

    pretty much this, also I don't look like a huge nerd when I pull out my phone to play game between classes like the people with gameboys at school do.

    actually i always look like a huge nerd, but that's not the point.

    Um...not really? The circumstances between that and this were pretty different. For one thing the limitations on gameplay because of the technology didn't help. Only so many things an ugly dot could do on the Atari.

    Another problem was nobody really knew how to run a game company profitably. Which includes pricing games.

    Hand held gaming system's were never that attractive to me... I had an original massive Game-boy, but the novelty of carting around a house-brick that quad-fisted Double-A batteries like a boss, just to play games wore off pretty quickly, games on my mobile however really click for me, its always charged, always in my pocket, has mobile network connected score boards, most of the time when I'm out and about I only have 5 to 10 minutes to kill, and easy fun cheap games are what is called for in that situation :D

    Surprisingly, people pay me to do computer things.

    Gameboys were great when you were a kid and on road trips because you weren't doing the driving.

    Now that you are, and now that you take your own trips instead of trips your parents take you on, the time you have to kill really isn't as big.

    isn't dim sum just various dishes served in small individual portions so you get to pick and mix

    because that just looks like a bigass container of pot stickers

    they're still great for people who commute on busses or trains though and can help kill time waiting for a plane (or flying on a plane), assuming you don't have other work to get done

    when I drove across the country in my motor home a few years ago I played on my game boy to wind down after 12+ hours on the road each day because there ain't much else to do at a creepy rest stop in the middle of the night

    It kind of misses the point though. The problem isn't that games are overpriced, it's that there are no games. And very little on the horizon.

    I keep hearing this 3DS only plays games thing and I have to ask:

    What else do you want a video game console to do? That it has WiFi and a browser is literally a last Gen innovation. Phones

    Phone games are on average shit. 1 Angry birds does not a viable platform make.

    How much profit was made on Infinity Blade?

    How about Bulletstorm?

    Which do you think Epic is more likely to reinvest in?
