New questions.. eh? Alright, then new answers, I suppose.

Of the three from a visually standpoint, which do you think looks better?

It is a tie between Ratchet and Clank, and Blinx : The Time Sweeper. Both of these games hold their own from a visual standpoint. They have smooth characters, and a lot of beautiful designs (as far as backgrounds and objects go). Super Mario Sunshine's objects look like they need a bit of work, in my opinion.


From a technically standpoint which do you think looks better?

Ratchet and Clank looks the best from a technical standpoint. You can see the particle effects showcased beautifully with the fire embers in the air and on the ground. However, Ratchet and Clank's ground textures are absolutely horribly. Super Mario Sunshine sure does have the ground texture work right on, with the grooves on the ground and the pipes underneath (second picture). I would have to say that Blinx : The Time Sweaper is a close second, and it too has beautiful particle effects. One more note, in Ratchet and Clank, there are so many things moving at the same time. The floating cars are a great example.

When they are all released this year which do you think will be the superior game?

I really do think that Ratchet and Clank will be the superior game. On second thought (from my previous post), I think that Super Mario Sunshine will ultimately do better. I mean, it is Mario we're talking about! He has never failed to sell, and always has amazing games. Blinx : The Time Machine has a lot of potential. However, I just do not think that it's tmie is now. A sequal will do much better for it, in my opinion.


Which will have the most mainstream appeal?

Super Mario Sunshine will have the most mainstream appeal. I mean, everybody knows who Mario is. And you know what, whoever is a fan of platformers, is usually a fan of Super Mario. This game will sell systems! Oh yes, it will.
Which will have the least?


Other than Mario, do you see Blinx or Ratchet become mainstay mascots?

I can see both Ratchet and Blinx become mainstay mascots. Both of these games are bringing new, great ideas to the table. I expect that we will see one more sequal to both of them in this generation of systems.


Which do you think will be longer? More enjoyable? Just more fun?

I think that the longest game will be Super Mario Sunshine. The most enjoyable, probably Mario Sunshine. This is because no Mario game has failed before, and I really can't see this one failing. But.... I think that Ratchet and Clank will be the most fun. With all of the weapons, and the fact that you don't have to collect things to go on to different areas will make the game a much funner experience.

*waits for idiot to rip him up*
