If only all divorces involved firing combustible nectar at giant wasp robots 

So many games! O_O Do you like the Xevious style of having to bomb enemies on the ground? I always preferred being able to shoot everything with my main weapon.

I never hear anyone talk about this game! The stuff about the animals sounds very cool. Hopefully I'll get to try it sometime.

It does a good job of keeping things interesting and making sure the two players actually have to cooperate, rather than just doing the same thing together. I don't know how these two characters are going to work out their marriage by the end of this though. That part is not going real well 

I've seen Trinity Trigger pop up as a suggested thing on Amazon but I never took a close look at it. Now I'm intrigued. Still haven't gotten Tears of the Kingdom but that's a money thing 

Those kaiju look great! I've also got that same silver PS2 slim AND I've got that Williams pinball collection (given to me one year at Christmas) but still have not played it.

I've always wanted to play the Lost Planet games but have never bought any of them. 

If we're talking about AAA-quality games, I think development time is a big factor. It takes longer to make games than it does to make movies, so synchronizing release dates is very difficult. The other big thing is mobile and service games. The financial risk is so much lower to have a tie-in with Fortnite than to make, promote, and distribute a new game. There are also several Marvel service games on mobile and I imagine they have events to promote new movies and whatnot. Plus, the way you tell stories in movies and games are different. Movie plots usually have to be expanded to fill a satisfying gaming experience, so why not just start with that in mind? Plenty of movies could have awesome tie-ins, but I don't think the movies studios/execs are generally willing to put in the time/energy/money to end up with a good game at the end. Heck, we've seen plenty of examples of game company execs not understanding the process of making games.

Me: "I'll just finish up Spider-Man real quick and play Shadowrun Returns."

Except Spider-Man is really good and I'm still playing it!

Because Zelda is $70! 

You're right. The last time I heard people say a game really reminded them of Metroid Prime was Batman: Arkham Asylum, and that's an old one now at this point!
